Most overrated TV shows all-time?

[ijustposthere]

Currently watching The Sopranos for the first time. I'm about to finish season 5 and I honestly can't see what all the fuss was about. It's just a soap opera with mobsters. I don't hate the show, but it isn't getting me invested to the point where I care what happens to whom. Outside of a few episodes that were really good, it seems like an average tv show IMO. What shows that are/were highly rated by critics and audience do you guys think are overrated?

Friends. I honestly don't find the show funny or good.

90210, never figured why people gave a shit about that drama filled soap opera of a TV show. As the captain said also Friends. Never was much of a fan although it had plenty of funny moments between Phoebe and Joey's stupidity.

I should've put Friends on a disqualifier list LOL. The producer of that show had to have been blowing someone to keep that on for so long. Mad About You was another one. I find Paul Reiser more whiny and annoying than funny.

Dexter

Dexter WAS cool at one point then the story went to the shitter when he was forced to partner up with that crazy ***** that got raped. I stopped watching that season.

Seinfeld. There were, maybe, a small handful of gags on that show that I found funny. Most of it was just incredibly stupid (and not stupid in an entertaining Monty Python or Kids in the Hall kind of way).

Dexter was a tale of two shows. The first 4 seasons were some of the greatest tv I ever watched. They should've rounded the arc to end after season 5 with a different story line. Not that I hated the last 4 seasons, but it got really outlandish.

Roseanne. Lots of fat people in need of a shower

Agreed. I didn't know men watched that show- I assumed it was a chic comedy.

Gotta cast a vote for the Big Bang Theory- hell- any comedy on CBS that has endured more than a few seasons (Two and a Half Men, How I met Your Mother, etc.) Can't stand staged sitcoms with the laugh track and the 'hilarious' misunderstandings.

To each their own but Sopranos fundamentally changed television for a reason. The show was tremendously influential to the modern television drama. The argument could be made that no show ever had more layers to it.

For me the most overrated shows are The Wire and The Walking Dead. Not saying I dislike either just don't understand all the praise.

Were you a teenager in the 90s?

Agree with this.

As for overrated I'm going with Lost.

In my experience females overrate the **** out of Grey's Anatomy and quite a few reality shows... Sister Wives, Gypsy shows, Amish shows... I once had to wait to confirm pizza orders for dinner at my house because my sisters and cousin HAD (like I got fucking shushed) to find out what happened on the Terrel Owens reality show... like OMG IF I DONT HEAR WHAT TERREL OWENS SAYS ABOUT SOME DRAMA I WILL STAB YOU levels of commitment to reality shows.

Also any singing/talent show.... American Idol, The Voice, Dancing With The Stars.... I guess its a chick thing with these ones.
