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.

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

“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).
