    Agree with all the ones I've bolded. Little Britain is so sh*t, as is The Victor of Dibley. That fat mess French is just not funny.

    Frasier and Seinfeld have to be two of the least funniest programmes of all time. I've never laughed at a single moment in either.

    I hope I don't come across you in the real world, as there would be a serious personality clash!

    Grand so. Probably wouldn't understand you anyway. I don't speak Klingon.

    Regarding French, t'was harsh but fair. :D Frasier and Seinfeld aren't everyone's cup of tea, fair enough. Each to their own.

    Depends what is meant by most overrated I suppose. Taking The Office as an example above, you probably loved it like everyone else, but thought those who considered it the finest thing television has ever done were over doing it a bit. But some people going over the top in their praise doesnt make it any less a fine show. Even The Best TV Show In The World Ever could be over rated. But it'd still be the best.

    sorry sandwich but no the office was crap. Have to agree with phasers Ricky Gervais is soooo not funny so therefore I think the show is totally overrated. The americans took it on so that says a lot for me. I can't think of many good american comedys. family guy I guess. The simpsons too I suppose but seinfeld curb your enthusium pure crap. They will never match classics like fawlty towers or Father ted. By the way has anyone seen Still game with the 2 scottish guys. Many of my friends think its shi**e. I think its very funny

    Exactly, and I think the whole point of this thread has been lost on some posters. I think some people are getting personally offended when their favourite shows are listed by others as being over rated. I watch some of the shows I've listed, but do think they are over rated. And I'm sure other posters would feel the same. ;)

    ER - I don't care about the 'complicated' personal lives of boring doctors. Same goes for House or Grey's Anatomy. Actually all medical dramas.

    Seinfeld, Curb and the Office are all in a different class to Father Ted

    Fair enough, I love Father Ted but it wears a small bit thin each time you see it, unlike Fawlty Towers, for example

    Not a chance IMO! As someone mentioned,anything with Ricky Gervais is overrated. That Extras rubbish is still being nominated for awards. The guy is not funny!

    Agreed. Jeremy Clarkson came out 4th Wittiest British man EVER in a poll done by TV Channel Dave. He was 4 places above William Shakespeare. Have we lost the run of ourselves. If that is not overrated than what is.
    Clarkson has one joke - the analogy - 'Driving this car is like going to the toilet in the office loo. It's can be extremely satisfying but you don't want to make a big fuss about it.". I just made that up to say this form of humour is easy and crap crap crap crap.

    The Office was quality, Extras was nothing special. Now he's trading off his own name, still think he's great though

    In keeping with the thread topic,I think it was just very overrated,and what I did like involved other characters and their storylines. His stand up comedy is just dire as well.

    Im going to say this quietly and then Im going to run away as fast as possible






    The Wire


    Watched the first 6 episodes to really give it a chance/based on the rave reviews it got here and, while it was good television, I cant see where all the plaudits come from :confused:

    It's not addictive turn-off-your-brain TV. It only gets good as you get to identify with the characters and get deep into it.

    I didn't REALLY enjoy it until maybe 2 / 3 of the way through the first season.

    I was the same with the Wire at first, I really wanted to love it, but found it really hard to get into it. Eventually I did, and now I have to say its my favourite show of all. I saw some tv ad for it after one of the episodes in season 3 (that I got off the cousin ;)) and it says thet its the most rewarding tv show out there and it really is, if you put the effort in, youll reap the benefits.

    You should run for cover because the Wire is the best tv show ever made!!!!! :D

    Seriously,as mentioned several times each season is like a novel and each episode a chapter. You stopped half way through the novel. You can't judge a book until you have finished it,same with the Wire. The season has to be watched fully.

    I will give it another shot when I get a chance ;) I also once watched an episode of Sopranos and couldnt figure out what all the fuss was about. Mind you it was a randon episode and I think its definitely something you have to watch from start to finish.



    So thats The Wire and Sopranos. I fully expect to be murdered any day now :D

    Watch The Sopranos - "pine barrens"
    As for the wire - your loss ;)

    And I don't think you can call them overrated based on a few eps.

    Simpsons - Past it, dont get me wrong, used to be excellent.
    Naked Camera - Muck
    The Office - Never thought it to be as brilliant as everyone made out.

    Some of my favourite tv shows are South Park, That 70' Show, Im Alan Partridge and although I love them I can understand why some people wouldn't. However, I will not stand for people saying the X-Files is overated, it is the greatest tv show of all time.
