Day 10 of 30 Days of TV Shows

Eh… so I missed a day. Soldiering on…

Day 10 – A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving

This is a tough one because my usual MO is to jump into a show after a couple years, only to find that I love it, and would have loved it all along. The exceptions are rare, but are things like Firefly, The Unit, and Burn Notice, which almost seem tailor-made for me. Even Stargate SG-1 I was a little meh about in the beginning, in part because I enjoyed the original movie so much, and didn’t think they could really go anywhere interesting from there. Not true, obviously, but that’s not even the best example. Others are stuff like The X-Files, Scrubs, and LOST.

But the biggest is probably NCIS. Unfortunately, I’ve kind of stopped loving the show and don’t really watch it much any more, especially with how they rounded out the last season. If you’ve watched it, maybe you understand my feelings of “too far-fetched.” But, that said, I did love the show, especially in the first few seasons. I did not like the addition of Ziva, and I tended to get annoyed with certain over-arching storylines. But it was pretty neat to see a “life in the military” show, since those seem to be few and far between, well done or not.
