I was inspired to do this by the UO thread for TV shows at TWOP.

Like here, there is a separate one at TWOP for soaps as well, but I had no idea if there was one on this board for the rest of TV (game shows, sitcoms, reality shows, news, etc.), so I thought I'd start one here. Granted, TWOP is a site completely dedicated to all types of television, so I don't know if picking out UOs here would be as easy, but I think it's worth a shot.

Everything's on the table. Past or present, channels or shows of every genre (except the daytime soaps, obviously).

The UO thread on soaps has only a little bit on primetime soaps, so I guess you can include them here, too. Your call.

Rachel & Joey were miles better than Ross & Rachel.

I love it when the Conner family gets money on Roseanne

Sienfield is boring.

The Simpsons is awful.

The Real World is still a good show. I feel a lot of people judge it without watching it. I feel represented well on that show as a gay person.

Teen Mom is a show that does more good than bad.

The middle and later years of 90210 were better than the beginning.

The college years of Dawsons creek were fine after about 6 episodes of them trying to find their footing.

The only bad time on felicity is when it focused on Molly.

Buffy peaked in season three and overall Angel was a much better show and by far Cordelia is the most interesting character in that universe.

The Hills is one of the greatest dramas of all time. Of all time.

Oh you reminded me I hated how Roseanne changed on the show, and it wasn't for the better, I thought Dan was too good for her at that point. Roseanne in the early seasons was my fav

A lot of what happened in the last 2 years of Roseanne was due to her own bitterness towards ABC as they increased their interference in the creative direction of the show in later years. She just decided to thumb her nose at them and take it way over the top.

I love all things Brady. Something about them just soothes me and make me happy, be it Bunch, Brides, Variety, Christmas, Bradys or movies. The only one I did not get into was My Fair Brady or whatever that reality show was called.

Me too. I've been a huge Brady fan my whole life. The books, the movie, the reunions, the greatest hits CD--wait, did I say that one out loud?

Speaking of which, a possible Brady UO:

Eve Plumb was just as beautiful as Maureen McCormick throughout the series. She was a very cute little girl in the beginning, and was still pretty in the middle seasons--just largely hidden behind curly hair and her glasses. And in the last season--she was, hands down, prettier than Maureen (who often looked too tan and her eyebrows too dark, IMO), with her straight hair and the glasses off. Just beautiful, and she continued to be throughout the 70s during the Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway era. She's made some interesting hair style/hair color choices since then, but she can still bring it when she wants to. It drives me crazy how some act like she was never allowed to be pretty (the movies didn't help in this regard), when in season 5, she clearly was the standout Brady girl, IMO.

...And I say this all as a straight chick, too.

In fact, at the end of the series, I'd say Peter & Jan > Greg & Marcia, looks wise.

I used to watch the Brady Bunch, a lot, but the years of "Oh, by the way, did you know we were having sex/that I am going to make myself look like a sex addict so you will pay attention to me/that I have numerous addiction problems and will talk about them numerous times" took away any interest I had. I can't even really watch anything with Florence Henderson now.

I wonder what she did with all that Wesson Oil...

It was too much, very grating. Roseanne in the early seasons was loveable and loved her kids they were her life as was Dan in the later seasons I never felt she loved her kids or Dan at all

I always found Peter to be the hottest of the guys LOL

Girlfriends

I was neutral (at best) towards this show when it first debuted because of the hole that Living Single's cancellation left behind. Was willing to tune into the inferior dialogue and shallow characterization just so that I could see Black women on TV. Well, that went to hell and a handbasket when one of the women forgave her best friend for attempting to seduce her man (out of spite, mind you) because she found Jesus. I was never able to get over that BS, stopped watching that crap, and still am at a loss as to how that show lasted as long as it did while becoming on the most beloved Black sitcoms of all time.

Did they remain as close as they were before the betrayal, though? Because, Jesus talked plenty about forgiving, but he didn't say anything about forgetting.

I never liked Family Ties. I also never believed that Meredith Baxter Birney and Michael Gross were the parents of those kids.

I liked the last year of Punky Brewster a lot more than the years it was on NBC.

Rachel & Joey were miles better than Ross & Rachel.

+1. Finally someone who shares my sentiments!.

As for the second point, I preferred Angel but I cant say it was a much better show. I loved both for different reasons. To add to things

I loved Riley and Buffy. I was upset when he left

I also loved Angel and Cordy and preferred them over he with Buffy

I hated Willow being a lesbian. It didnt make sense to me for them to just change up her sexuality like that especially since she never showed any signs of liking girls and was into men. On a similar note, I hated Tara

Friends was a piece of sh!t of a show that's aged horribly and peaked in quality in season 1. After that, it got way too caught up in its own hype for no apparent reason.

I stopped caring about Angel as soon as Gunn, and then Fred, showed up. The Gunn/Fred/Wesley story is one of the worst I have ever seen on TV and the main reason I tuned out. She was such pathetic pandering to fanboys who wanted a "hot" nerd, and Gunn was a weak character who was so meaningless to the show that they basically told the press he was only being brought in because of his race. The only time the character had any spark was when he was close to Wesley, so naturally, the show ended that for Fred.

that would be season 3 and thats too bad bc Season 3 of Angel is one the most riveting series in the entire Buffyverse. Wesley's character arc was absolutely phenomonal

Is that when he became evil for the love of Fred? As much as I loved watching Alexis Denisof, it didn't work for me. I thought she was just a terrible, terrible actress and character, and it took me out of the story entirely.
