I really wish I had watched/read -insert item- earlier

[Eri]

Around about season 3 of Lost, quite a few people I knew kept telling me to watch it. I was like like "Meh, whatever" and never really got around to it till they started season 4. After I started I got instantly hooked on it and really wished I had done this sooner.

I've had this happen with quite a few shows, and I've also tried getting friends into shows and had this happen to them when they finally got around to watching something. Recently it just happened with an anime I had put off for years.

Anything you wish you had watched or read sooner?

Firefly for sure. I'd heard of it, and I knew Serenity was based on it, but I never would have given it a second had a friend of mine not sat me down and had me watch it. Since then, I've gotten into everything else Joss Whedon has touched

watchmen. i was the guy who when the movie came out had no idea what it was. i think i uttered the words: "what? it was a comic?" after that i was forced to read the graphic novel cover to cover before me and my mates saw it at the weekend. best thing i have ever read.

I wish I'd started watching Dexter earlier. It's a task trying to catch up with it before season 5!

I wish I had watched some of Esther's videos on YouTube before she died.

Nerdfighters will know what I'm talking about.

Well I wish I'd been born earlier so I'd actually be able to be around for some of this stuff. Working through Top Gear from the first season is incredibly...time consuming. And I wish I'd started reading a lot of the manga I read now, a little earlier. Less to catch up on. Unlike novels with, well, text, I get through manga pretty slowly, so I always feel as if I'll never catch up to the current release.

House for me, but I only got caught up half way through season 6 and have been waiting for it to come out on DVD

The Bruce Dickinson Friday Night Rock Show on 6Music.
It'd been on for years, I discovered it when bored one afternoon and browsing the iPlayer.
I got to listen to it for two months, then it got axed by the BBC to make way for some prick who was some other prick's nephew and apparently had "diverse taste in new music".

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joyce Carol Oates (especially Foxfire, Preacher.

I wish I had played RDR sooner, as I might have beat it before some asshat on GameFAQs spoiled it for me.

hmm... Well, I have to say Final Fantasy 9. Never played it when I had a PS1, but then one day I saw it on the PSN, and decided to buy it. Now I really wished I had played it earlier.
