I'm surprised that I remember the answer to this. I actually hated the show at first. When the very first episode came on back in whenever (93, 94?), I happened to wander into my parent's den, and like my whole family was glued to the set. I was like, "What in the world are you guys watching? Whatever." But I was hooked by the middle of the season. It was the only tv in the house at the time...it was either watch that or stare at the wall. And interestingly enough, by the time the series ended, I was the one with the obsession, and my family couldn't care less about the show. (I know: what's wrong with them?)
