That the British Charlize Theron/“Mr. F” episodes of the initial run of “Arrested Development” are almost universally regarded as the worst part of the series. I thought the episodes and the story were hilarious.

I was surprised at the Ewok backlash among the Star Wars fandom. I love those little guys. Me too. You'd think they were that generation's Gungans. This goes with my surprise at how unpopular ROTJ was. To me it's a serviceable end to the OT...moreso before Lucas got his CGI fangs into it over and over. Probably not so surprising after actually seeing much of the show's history, but the dislike for Match Game, well, any time after the Star Wheel was introduced. I was biased as this was "my" MG growing up and it was weird to see the set before and no wheel in the Super Match. And the show was still fun to watch. But I can understand the other complaints about later seasons: no Richard Dawson, the writing answer segments edited down even more, etc. Don't get me started on the Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour, which 7 year old me loved and adult me likes despite its shortcomings. Nor Match Game '90, I did like Ross Shafer and all, but MG did need a certain cast of stars at the right time. Plus it was Mark Goodson emphasizing the "GAME" part of the show, which was never MG's selling point.

I would always watch Ancient Aliens as an "adventure comedy" because it was neat to see some of the oddball things that show talked about (like old sculptures, stories and random ancient building sites) and it was hilarious to hear how "ALIENS!" was the answer to about everything. I kinda thought that was how everybody watched it until I met a couple different people a couple different times that straight up treated it like watching the News. Now I'm normally too afraid to even mention it to people because I don't want to get lumped into "that" category. I'm just in it for wacky bullshit stories about real life odd things. I used to watch it because I loved how they had the death cliff into crazy. Every episode starts out really rational and even mentions alternative (read more likely answers) and then out of nowhere they just openly state something ludicrous as outright fact and all rationality flies out the window... and I don't know therefore aliens becomes the answer to everything.

That Jay-Z is considered to be an all time great. I get it now, but at the time I only knew about shitty stuff like Big Pimpin' and that Girls song from the school bus radio.

People didn't like Batgirl.
Sure, the first two seasons of Batman were its prime, but I still looked forward to the third season all the same, changes and all.

The absolute frothing at the mouth hatred people have for the Big Bang Theory. Rage filled hatred at things like a laugh track, not actually eating and editing clips to make it look like they just say Batman!!!! and call it a joke.
Not liking it is fine, but people really lost their minds with hating it.

I didn't realise Freddy Got Fingered is considered by some to be one of the worst movies of all time.
I thought it was just a dumb not-that-notable comedy which actually has some funny moments in it.

That Critics hated Hook.
I loved it as a kid, and as an adult, I still enjoy it. Hoffman and Williams are so fun.

Here's a good one I just remembered: Apparently BET once had massive love for Busta Rhymes. Yes he was good & has always been good and I like a lot of his songs, but, case in point: On the final day of the year 1999, BET did a big time Top 100 countdown of "the greatest videos of all time". #1 was a very symbolic choice of 'non-music' video of MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech, played in its entirety. #2 was Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Because Thriller. #3 on the list: "Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check" by Busta Rhymes. So they basically said that the greatest rap song/video of all time was Woo Hah Got You All In Check. Good song, yes, but it seems like an unusual choice for that title. Even in terms of greatest Busta videos from the 90's, I'd put "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" above that, maybe even "What's It Gonna Be" w/ Janet Jackson or "Scenario" w/ A Tribe Called Quest.

15 year old me was very surprised to find that all the screamo and metalcore bands that first got me into heavy music were widely hated by the Internet Metal Community. At the time, anyways.

This goes with my surprise at how unpopular ROTJ was. To me it's a serviceable end to the OT...moreso before Lucas got his CGI fangs into it over and over. To be a slight devil's advocate on that one, I think some of that Ewok dislike is more retrospective, or at least I find it to be. It seems like the way the prequels went down kind of paints them in a different light for some people, more like a portent of things to come (attempts at silliness, marketing potential being the main consideration, etc.) rather than a fuzzy and cute one-off Vietnam War allegory. I still don't mind them, myself, but that's at least the vibe I've always gotten. I always used to get kind of blindsided by how down people could get on the "Disney Dark Age" movies, especially the animated output in the years following Walt's death, but before The Little Mermaid. Since I was born in '85 I was a tot just as Michael Eisner and company decided to make serious bank on the booming home video market, so my family's and my grandmother's houses wound up littered with Disney VHS's. While they had tapes like Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, and Peter Pan, I often found myself drawn to the 'cheaper looking' output that came about around the 1960s and carried through to the 1980s. My cousins and I would watch Robin Hood a whole lot, and my go-to movie as a little kid, the way a toddler will wear out a given film over and over again, was The Sword in the Stone. Meanwhile, a lot of the tapes of the really deified Disney classics just kind of sat on the shelf for me, and even when I'd go back into the films Walt personally worked out I was usually more drawn to the weirder/more obscure ones, like The Three Caballeros or Ichabod and Mr. Toad. And then when the Disney renaissance really kicked in while I was in grade school, it still took me a few years to get into it with Aladdin and The Lion King. Huh, maybe that's why as a theme park fan I'm so annoyed with Disney shoehorning any movie property they can into rides and attractions that I feel don't need them: they're going to go for the ones that are more successful, but my nostalgic tastes were often for the more obscure ones that don't get as much love.

I'm a diehard RE fan and thought RE6 was brilliant fun. I loved how over the top it was and the sheer amount of content they packed into it. I played through it with a friend and we had an absolute blast. It's just plain fun balls to the wall action. I'm still baffled by the response to it and I don't care to understand why it's reviled. I'll keep having my fun.
