Other way around for me - I just watched "White Collar" without doing anything else, except from reading a fanfic here and there probably.
You are absolutely right that sometimes it is better this way. Then again, with reading so much in forums after having watched "Arrow" or "Doctor Who", I realize how many things I miss that then get pointed out in discussions. So I probably wouldn't understand half of the backgrounds without this.
I am sorry to hear your enjoyment of the episodes was so tarnished. But I can indeed assure you that one day it won't matter as much anymore. From experience, there also have been things in the past that gave me literally belly-aching just thinking about them and now, several years later, I am just meh about it. I have moved on, other things became more important, and it gives you a new perspecive. Time does heal wounds indeed. Just wait for it!
I don't think I've ever heard of that other show you mentioned. But then again I am not much into sitcoms. The only exception which I regularly watched was "Full House" - and several ALF episodes, if that counts as a sitcom as well? May be nice to revisit that one.
