TV Series most people hate but you like.

[Necromancer]

I can't think of any shows that people hate altogether, but I like a few long running shows that many think should've been put out to pasture already, stuff like Family Guy, The Simpsons, Dr. Who, and Red Dwarf (two new seasons to start filming later this year!).  I'll agree that earlier episodes generally were better than the later stuff (less so for Dr. Who), but I don't let that stop me from enjoying the newer ones; no matter what, the worst episode of any of those four shows is still 10x better than 95% of the rest of the bullshit being made today.

The nearest shows I can think of that people might hate but I like are Adventures of Brisco County Jr. and Jack of All Trades, but does anyone really hate them?  Methinks it's more that they've never heard of 'em or if they have they simply don't care.

So Bruce Campbell is the common denominator?

Bruce makes everything better!

Brisco would probably be just as entertaining with some other competent actor, but Jack wouldn't be the same without Bruce's superb stooge-ness.

Full House

Edit... I don't like but hate it lol

Full House wasn't bad at all.
In fact, most of the ABC "TGIF" Friday night family comedies were quite enjoyable.
Life seemed so much simpler back then, at least if those shows are anything to go by.

Full House sucked. All those other shows sucked. What was "simpler" back then was the audience. "Life" was about the same.

Dr. Who is more popular than ever here in it's homeland, more so with kids these days.

Red Dwarf was one of greatest series of all time!!! but I found the new episodes were such a dissapointment. I really, really tried to like them, but I thought they were just terrible.

Same here, but there's a few fans of the past doctors that just hate it.  I don't know why.  Too high budget?  Too much humor?

Even Jesus?  I thought that one was pretty good.

Sounds like you know more about Dr. Who than me, I've never watched it much.
But from what I have watched of the old and new I can see why past fans are not keen on the new stuff. It seems since when they relaunched the series around 2005? they decided they were aiming it as more of a children's TV program. The old series felt more targeted to adults.

Looks like I haven't tried enough actually then. I watched "Back to Earth" and was so disappointed that when "Red Dwarf X" came along I didn't even bother checking it out. I'll give it a watch now though.

In 1992 when I was 15 I was in the studio audience for the filming of Quarantine, was absolutely friggin hilarious, I was crying with laughter.

Doctor Who is easily one of the top five most popular shows of all time. In 2015 it might be the most popular  scripted show in the world. The only time it was an underdog was during the mid/late 80s when it's own producers were trying to shitcan the series. Quality was so low at that point I could make a case for canceling it myself...other than that, it's actually the show everyone likes including you. Only total dicks hate Dr Who. It's like hating Sesame Street or fireworks or ice cream.

Red Dwarf though...I'll watch every episode, but it really took a turn downward ages ago, when the lighting got darker and the cameras closer. Like...season 3. Right around that time. Interestingly, MST3K did the same thing at about the same time. It must have something to do with rising budgets...


Some shows I can't defend, but I liked them back in the day and they were canceled early.

Probe
Automan
Mr Merlin
Max Headroom (OK, this one is genuinely great)
Big O
Doctor Doctor

That 80s Show.

The first few eps are pretty rough, but I like the characters a lot by the end of it.

Well that might be true I guess.
But it's nice to watch a show where families interacted with one another and got into all kinds of plights and hijinks without constantly burying their noses in a cell phone or whatever.

That's why there's the Simpsons, Malcolm in the middle, and the wonder years. [emoji4]

And ten thousand other sitcoms.

[HercTNT]

quantum leap and murder she wrote are my guilty pleasures. I don't know anyone else that liked them.

I thought Quantum Leap had quite the fan base.

Anyway, I love:
Golden Girls
Murder She Wrote
Matlock
Columbo
Etc.

But I'm not sure these shows are hated.

I loved BARNEY MILLER.
I watched it as a kid and felt like it was a special view into what the "adult world" was like.
