Good to see. I never got their act, so I never really watched them, but my relatives thought they were great. Anyway, I did like and enjoy their performance in Babylon 5.

Wouldn't that be "I never really watched them, so I never got their act"? How could you ever expect to get anything you never watch?

They never caught my attention either. Clearly very talented, but not my cup of tea. Maybe it could be an acquired taste, but I'll leave that FOMO on the floor.

“Never really watched them” doesn’t mean “never watched them even once”.

Penn and teller had a TV show, so it could mean they caught an episode or two and weren’t into it (which, same).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

When I visited my relatives, if they were on the TV we would watch them.
