The most overrated and underrated TV show of all time?
 

Most overrated - Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Most underrated - The Chicago Code

What's yours?

Another thread where I can testify how absolutely awful Doctor Who is

Overrated - Doctor Who
Underrated - In terms of people knowing about it/watching it - The Wire. In terms of not getting enough credit - The Unit.

Overrated - Friends
Underrated - Either Drawn Together or Modern Toss

Overrated-Family Guy
Underrated-idk

Buffy D: ah

Overrated: Lost
Underrated: Damages

Overrated - Two and a Half Men
Underrated - Definitely Fringe, can't believe it might be ending so soon.

I actually don't hate Buffy but it's just that the fans treat it as if it's this perfect show when it's not imo, also i've seen it all before so I don't know why it gets so much credit.

Simpsons for both

Where?

Most overrated - Any soap/reality singing competition. And yeah, Doctor Who.

Most underrated - Futurama (It's always Simpsons vs Family Guy vs South Park. Futurama trumps all.)

Lost with the love triangle, the posh English character in every American show going, the crazy geeks in loads of shows.

There's probably more but I will have to think about it.

Overrated - Eastenders
Underrated - Law annd order UK

Overrated: Friends, South Park or Downton Abbey
Underrated: Beautiful People, Forbrydelsen (I know it gets rave reviews but it's still pretty obscure), Green Wing

American Dad for underrated, it's far better than FG.

Overrated (commercially): Facejacker. It just isn't funny at all.
Overrated (critically): Doctor Who. Its so crap. It always repeats itself and ugh I hate it.

Underrated (commercially): Battlestar Galactica (the 2003 series). Most people turn their noses up at it because they think its some crap, stupid sic-fi show, but its really a drama thats just set in space. It never got the commercial credit it so rightfully deserved.
Underrated (critically): Mrs Brown's Boys. I don't get why critics hate it. Its so ****ing funny.

Niall. Leave TiBB (for liking Mrs Brown's Boys)

No. :hmph:

But Buffy predates Lost.

Overrated: Skins
Underrated: Underbelly

Tbf I know loads of people that love Mrs Brown's Boys, but it doesn't sound like it's for me.

I was just using an example.

Yeah, but I meant where had you "seen it all before" before Buffy that made you think it was derivative.

Friends for starters as didn't they have Rachel and Joey get together or something along those lines?

Oh yeah duh that was such an obvious option! I didn't even think of that.
