In your opinion, which TV do you believe is the most overrated and why?

I think mine would be How I Met Your Mother or The Walking Dead

Not even a question:

Big Bang Theory.



This clip is 2 minutes long and there's not a single joke in it.

another vote for Big Bang Theory.





if you dont like Seinfeld its because you:

a)never really tried to watch it
or
b) have a bad sense of humor

(also applies to The Office)

Not a single joke?! Are you kidding?

I guess you need some help here:

The one guy didn't know where the Rocky Mountains were, so the other guy said they were in Philadelphia, cuz that's where Rocky took place.

The one guy said "somebody's been taking *****y pills". Ok so this one works on two levels. First, he said somebody, but we can all infer that he was really talking about the girl. It seems like he isn't sure who exactly has been taking *****y pills, but we the audience know he's talking about the girl. This is called ironic humor. Second, the notion that there would be PILLS tha one would take, like on purpose, that do nothing but make on *****y, this preposterous. This is called absurd humor.

The one guy shows the girl how to rub her feet. How do you not get this joke? He's a MAN. It goes against the typical male purview to know what she's doing, much less that she's doing it WRONG. Can you imagine? This would be enough for a lesser show, but he then goes on to show her how to do it, and he's RIGHT. This is a slap in the face to traditional gender norms, and is lampooning the very notion of masculinity.

The problem with the BBT haters is that they have such an underdeveloped sense of humor that they feel threatened by the multilevel nature of the humor, and since they can't begin to process what they're seeing, they dismiss is out of hand.

I suggest you go back to your Arrested Developments and 30 Rocks were the jokes are tied up in nice little bows and hand delivered.

All those CSI type shows.

MASH.

Try watching it now, it is about as funny as watching your kid die of syphilis (not that I would know).

Firefly.

I mean it's ok, but it's definitely not as good as what the internet fanboys have built it up to be..

The Walking Dead

Orange is the New Black - Netflix counts right?

I tried and just didn't care for it. I prefer recent comedies like Parks and Rec, The Office, 30 Rock, and Community. That Thursday night lineup will be tough to beat for me.

How I Met Your Mother -- I'll never understand why this got the love it did. I watched a couple of episodes and it was the biggest bag of "meh" ever.

Big Bang Theory -- I HATE this show. I want to beat the **** out of everyone on it (except for the hot chick). It's HORRIBLE. I feel like it makes dumb people feel good about themselves when they get a joke.

Two and a Half Men -- Absolute garbage. Lowest common denominator type stuff. Charlie Sheen is pure trash. That smartass little kid needed his ass beat and grew up into a basset hound look-alike who needs his ass beat. And Jon Cryer. Jon Cryer for God's sake. Sweet Jesus.

every CSI show
Desperate Housewives
ER
New Girl
24
Girls
Heroes


and I'll probably get strung up for these but
Southpark
Family Guy

I "like" them ok...but they get way overrated by some. Simpsons every day over either of those and it's not close.

Oh god how could I forget the absolute king currently.......

MODERN FAMILY

That show is soooo forced its ridiculous. the situations are laughably stupid to try to shoehorn them all into one giant overriding related arc somehow....and the jokes are just completely served on a platter and predictable....not to mention that adopted asian girl is the worst "actress" in the history of television. She is so bad they make fun of hr on other shows. And they've tried to hide her and work around it in some obvious ways. If they just killed her off I would find that hysterically funny and the best thing they ever did.

I actually think New Girl, if anything, is underrated.

Agree with almost everything mentioned so far, especially BBT and HIMYM.

I've never understoof how Walking Dead has so many viewers. I watched the pilot and was completely bored. I see a ton of people comment on how ****ty it's become. (And I thought it was **** to begin with.)

Does anyone that actually watches it think it's a good show?

I really liked the first season.

Even the second.

After that, complete garbage and stopped watching after season three.

I almost posted this but didn't want to lump it in with the other steaming piles I listed.

Sopranos was decent to good but overrated nonetheless. The others I mentioned are just ****ing horrible.

It's super overrated. I will say this last season was the best one in a while, but for a show about Zombies it's pretty boring.
