For me it’s Friends.

NEVER watched this show while it was on in its original run but really find the reruns years later to be entertaining.

When I was in my early 20’s I dated a girl circa 1996 who was all excited about this “new show” but I was like “MEH!”

I guess now that I’ve lived life a bit, it’s funnier and more relevant to me, have done the whole roommates living in a house thing in my late 20’s and early 30’s since then.

What show is it for you?

It was Friends for us, too. A while back my wife and I watched all ten seasons on HBO Max. Then we watched a couple Friends retrospecitves/specials, also on HBO Max.

Enjoyed it all, tremendously Smile

The Big Bang Theory was kind of like that, for us, also. Watched one or two episodes in the first season, thought "Meh," and ignored it. Then, over at a best friend's place, the subject of the series came up. I said I'd thought it looked lame. He disagreed. "My son and I never miss an episode." Then he fired-up the The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis episode he'd earlier recorded.

I laughed my backside off Smile, so we started watching it.

Since then my wife and I have seen every episode probably three times.

Blue Bloods up until season 10. It's just finished season 12 and it's all woke garbage that started with the debut of season 11.

My wife and I noticed that Season 11 was not great and it seemed like they were trying to go a little too woke. Not sure if they realized this and got rid of those writers but Season 12 has been normal feeling again.

I watched Dexter and Breaking Bad after they aired and ended. I started Justified last year and got through 2 seasons but haven't picked it back up yet.

Last Man Standing and The Expanse.

Friends is one of my all time favorite shows. It is usually on when I am eating lunch weekdays.

Good to know. To be honest, I stopped watching it halfway through the first episode of Season 11, where Whoopi's character is meeting with Frank, and they're arguing about police brutality. I just assumed it would continue through Season 12.

The Office.

I never got into the Friends show. Never watched more than one episode of Seinfeld. Big Bang got wearisome after the first season. I even went back and tried to watch Taxi and Wings. But couldn’t hold my interest for more than a few episodes of each.

I have been watching older shows on Hulu and Netflix.

Guess I’m not much of a tv aficionado.

When I thought about it, most of them? Since I only watch "Tv" online now for the last few years, and stopped watching it ON Tv decades ago, yeah most of them.

Examples more inline with the thread... Magnum PI.
Never watched it when it was on or in reruns. Watched it through a few years back and enjoyed it.
