Shows I never got into
I could probably write a much longer list than this, but these came to mind in one sitting.
Queer as Folk -  Dani and I rented the first episode.  About an hour into it we looked at one another and said, "Are we supposed to care about these characters?"  Maybe it got better as it went along.  I don't know.  My early exposure immunized me against any curiosity what happened to them beyond that point.  Kudos for paving the way for The L-Word though.  Thanks.

Deadwood -  Again, I watched the first episode and kept thinking that no mater how much I fast forward, it just wasn't getting any more interesting.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer -  I have plowed through the first couple seasons hoping to since what it is people like about this show.  Sarah Michelle Gellar does nothing for me (although I definitely have a thing for the band camp chick from the American Pie movies).  What am I missing here exactly?

Friends -  As you might guess, I liked Chander's smartass remarks, but that was completely offset by how much I hated the rest of the characters and ridiculous drama among people I hated.

X-Files -  Here again people seemed to be way more into this than I could fathom.  I saw the movie and I watched at least a season's worth of this when my cousin and I were roommates, and I just couldn't bring myself to care, even with him supplying the footnotes.  I'd suggest there was a conspiracy putting secret messages into the broadcast to like it, but I'd sound like an X-Files fan.  I don't want to give you that impression.

Family Guy -  I know everyone loves this.  I wish I did, but I just don't.  It's like the excitement people have when they show you pictures of their kids.  You just don't care really, do you?  It's just another kid; what's so special about this one?  Same here.

Big Love -  Presumably this plays on some kind of threesome (or foursome) fantasy in the viewers, but when you make a show about religious people and the source of their problems is their beliefs, I'm not going to be sympathetic enough to sit through it.
