July 29, 200817 yr I know we had the list of best TV shows, but how about some of the most overrated. Comedy, drama, whatever. I never got into Home Improvement. It seemed like it was the same jokes every show. Although when nothing else is on and it is on in syndication, I'll watch it. Never liked Murphy Brown either.
July 29, 200817 yr Home Improvement is a good choice, I would also add Friends. Simpsons went from underrated to overrated.

July 29, 200817 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:58 AM) Anything "reality" ding ding ding we have a winner
July 29, 200817 yr Friends The Sopranos All reality shows, other than the Amazing Race (which wasn't too bad) Actually, as I make this list, I realize that the great majority of TV shows, particularly on the networks, are awful. So, I guess most of them are overrated.
July 29, 200817 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 11:48 AM) House 24 Scrubs(waits for Soxtalk to cave down around me) Agreed on the first two, but, Scrubs I enjoy. I think its one of the few shows on TV that is actually entertaining.

July 29, 200817 yr Entourage is just awful. Awful. I'd say Weeds just because I believe Mary-Louise Parker is a terrible actress, the show is funny but she definitely brings it down. Also, House is f***ing great and the first like 4.5 or 5 seasons Scrubs was about as good as it gets. It does suck now though.
July 29, 200817 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) I have given all 3 a real shot. I can't stand Hugh Lawire(or whatever it is), 24 is slow as s***, and Scrubs is just a little too goofy for me. I have watched probably 6-7 Scrubs episodes, and while I laugh occasionally, it doesn't really make me want to watch another one. I never really cared for it at first, but after you watch a cycle of the re-runs and learn some of the jokes and characters, it gets funnier everytime you watch it. Seinfeld was the same way for me.
July 29, 200817 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:58 AM) Anything "reality" Also Scrubs, Friends, and Family Guy (awful/ over-saturation since coming back). Really, the only network shows I watch are The Office and Lost. Edited July 29, 200817 yr by StrangeSox
July 29, 200817 yr MASH. As a drama series it was dragged down by Alan Alda and seemingly the same issue brought up every week. 'We're in a war zone treating the same people we talked to earlier in the week' is the plot line all episodes were based off. If this show were around today it'd never survive. Too bland. And as a comedy it was just outright terrible. Not even laughing tracks could sway my opinion. also Always Sunny In Philadelphia. There's something about the actors (esp. Danny DeVito) in this show which makes viewing it a chore. I compare it to King of the Hill -- entertaining, but not hilarious. Edited July 29, 200817 yr by Flash Tizzle

Die. The correct answers are South Park and definitly Scrubs. Anyone who says Entourage isn't a guy. Don't get me wrong, I usually hate even slightly campy shows. But it's like trying to hate on the movie 300; if you do so, you better hand over you man-card.

But it's like trying to hate on the movie 300; if you do so, you better hand over you man-card. 300 was awful, and the one episode I saw of Entourage wasn't very good. And feel free to challenge me for my man card - would an armwrestling match suffice? I do agree on South Park though - it has its comedy gold moments, but overall, its just irritating.

I believe it all comes down to Turtle. Everyone who dislikes the show hates him. His death is the key for the continued success of the show. About House, how long can this show possibly go on? He treats mysterious illnesses every week. Eventually the writers will run out of new ways of making people fall over and House coming up with his witty, yet heart filled responses to his teams questions. It's like Prison Break. Him and his brother are out of the damn prison, right? So why the hell does it still exist?!

House makes me wish I was a gay man so I can enjoy that show even more.
