Most over-rated tv shows

What shows/films do you think were really over-rated?

2 that I can think of off the top of my head are Seinfeld and Frasier.
Some people love them but I think they're absolutely shíte!
I know its all about taste, and different strokes for different folks and all that but I've just never found any of them even slightly funny!

It's very hard to find comedy with universal appeal. Simpsons maybe? Fr Ted? Thats all I can think of.

Seinfield????? That was a great show!

Just because you don't like something doesn't make it overrated imo.

I thought it was terrible!!
Maybe it was partly because Jerry Seinfeld is an awful actor and his voice just irritates me but even still it was really really over-rated

They're not overrated, those shows are generally regarded as crap by people with any taste :pac:

At least 2 men, and several seasons too many!

FetchTheGin · 14-08-2011 05:14PM

Glee

Conor108 · 14-08-2011 05:15PM

Frasier is a great TV show!!

Now Mad Men and Glee, they're over-rated....

Samich · 14-08-2011 05:16PM

I'm waiting for the thanks whores to say a globally popular show like two and a half men.

I don't care what anyone says, two and a half men is great

EDIT: Already said, I think viewing figures and air time show it's not over rated.

Life on Mars

Mad Men. Watched it on RTE player thing just to shut all the MM groupies up with their constant nagging, and gushing about how great it is, and managed to get to episode 5 before I gave up. It's not that it's a terrible show or anything, it's just not that good.

I wouldn't call it great but if it's the middle of the day and there's nothing on it's one I would watch. It's miles ahead of the likes of Everybody Loves Raymond and Kind of Queens anyway.

Love Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. I've recently gotten into The Office as well. I love those scenes where Gervais looks down the lens for just a moment.

I cant stand any soaps or reality tv programmes.

*Waits for someone to say The Wire*

The Big Bang Theory is one that springs to mind. A bunch of hyper nerdy science men live next door to an attractive woman. A 21 minute (?) snappy joke making, laugh track using sitcom is born. A lot of people seem to like it but I honestly can't think why that would be.

It's miles ahead of the likes of Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens anyway.

Got to disagree on that. Both those shows have a warmth to them, as well as the comedy unlike 2 1/2 Men where the characters just seem to want to get in their next funny line/put down. Enter hot girl/exit hot girl and repeat.......Twice a day on Comedy Central ad nauseum, plus the weekend marathons in case you somehow missed the weekday barrage

I was going to post something similar but thought it might just encourage philistines to start posting :pac:

Any of those feckin' talent shows and reality shows, sketch comedy sh!te like Little Britain that spawns a hundred catch phrases, Lost. I rarely watch T.V, but any of that crap just drives me insane. I want to put Heroes, too, but I enjoyed up to the point where it became clear that the writers had no idea what was supposed to happen. You don't retcon a series after the first season.

EDIT: The Wire is without a doubt the greatest thing to ever grace the television screen. Even the episodes that weren't up to par with the rest were better than anything other show.

looky loo · 14-08-2011 05:25PM

The xfactor......and all the insane media coverage that goes with it....!
