In regards to not being ashamed / being ashamed of watching Gargoyles:
True, there is no shame in watching or being a fan of Gargoyles. After all, most people who were around my age when that show was popular liked it. It's no wonder either, because it was a good show.
However, there is a fine line between liking a good show while it is on the air and obsessing over an old show after it has gone off the air...which I crossed (and dotted). Less than a few months ago, I was still reading Gargoyles fan fiction and collecting Gargoyles fan art on my computer. This series has influenced my views on what demonic creatures should look like forever.
So...yeah...
In short, there's nothing wrong with having liked Gargoyles back in the day...but there is something wrong with continuing to obsess over Gargoyles today, probably ten years later.

And yeah, the whole show was pretty much just one big fat parody of daytime anime (even the characters and narrator sometimes commented on how stupid their show was), but that's what made it so wonderful.
