Shows you once hated before realizing that they are amazing, and vice versa

^now there's something that my first impression of was spot-on

^^ you shut your face about the hobbits the hobbits the hobbits the hobbits

I dunno, in my case I tend to discover that I had a lot of really bad opinions when I was little that have kept with me until I decided to try them again. Generally when jokes went over my head or there was an absence of pretty or cute girls. In my early youth, a show was deemed unwatchable if there weren't pretty and/or cute girls that I could want to be like in the show.

I've since gained slightly more informed opinions about things I like to think

Ironically, I really liked the Hobbit (including the book). It has good pacing. The book's a bit too English for me, though.

My impression after the first few episodes of Excel Saga: ha. This is a pretty clever show that pokes fun at bad anime.

My impression after a few more episodes: oh. It's actually just another bad anime. :(

You know, I used to love Scrubs, just watching it after school and getting the seasons on DVD, watching them way more than intended... and recently I kinda can't really think of too many notable episodes. Now don't get me wrong, My Lunch is such a tragic episode I watched it a few days ago and nearly broke down, but even that episode... the ending has such a mood lash, you see the Janitor cringing at The Todd over his absurd innuendo reaching a new low, then suddenly "Step one you say we need to talk" OH **** THE FRAY IS PLAYING

I love Scrubs but seriously that show is all over the place in its tone that it can get annoying

^I think that's a fairly accurate assessment, though it is a show I will rewatch time and time again.

I too wrote off Avatar when my brother and sister first started watching it. Then I actually paid attention to a few episodes and was hooked.
