I would count yourself 'mongst the fortunate. You got out before it broke your heart. It can remain a youthful passion!
Star Trek:TNG is a good example, since it stumbled out of the gate so badly then later became this iconic show folks loved. I quit early on, and had to endure quotes and references for years until I caught up.

I dropped it a little after the New Caprica stuff due to a variety of logistical issues making it hard to watch the show coupled with the fact that I wasn't really enjoying watching it. I thought that the first couple of years of it (including the intro miniseries) were quite nice, and I was a fan of the original BSG (which I saw in syndication as a preteen and teen). As far as a show which I was Late To The Party on, about the only one I can think of is Star Trek: TNG. I liked the original series (from WPIX as a kid) and the movies. I remember watching Encounter At Farpoint, and then actively being disinterested in the series until about season 6. I finally read enough issues of Cinefantastique which were season reviews of it to give it a try, and then I really liked it. Never really got into DS9, however. The only other one I can think of is Law & Order, which I never watched before I went to college and it was on 8 hours a day on A&E. Then it became a favorite for a while, especially the Michael Moriarity episodes. WHen Dick Wolf gave up day to day ops and Rene Balcer came in, the show sort of tanked, unfortunately.

Loved it with a passion I reserve for few shows. Engaging, exciting, thought-provoking, sexy, relevant, interesting. Everything. Enjoyed it as much as any series I've ever gotten into. Fell deeply in love with Starbuck. Shattered to see she's been at Dragon Con several times, and having not seen the show, I didn't get her autograph. Praying she comes back. I'd heard the end was bad, and I heard right. That final hour is a flaming tire yard of betrayal, bad writing, and contradiction. HOWEVER, 2009 called and wants its thread back. I have two questions - What are some shows YOU have gotten into long after they were popular (or over)? and, how have those of you who watched the show coped with the end?
