Most Underrated Sitcom

[Superbatboy]

Since we already have the most Overrated.

I voted for Freaks & Geeks. I only watched it 2 or 3 times, but it was a pretty good show.

They're not listed, but I think that NewsRadio and Wings were very under-rated. I think both shows had great plots, writing, acting, and characters. I can watch them in reruns over and over again and laugh out loud every time, which is a lot more than I can say for Frasier, Friends, and Seinfeld.

Definitely Freaks and Geeks. It was a great show that was never given the chance to catch on. What a quality show compared to some of the crap the networks choose to keep around.

I think the most underrated sitcoms are the classic ones from the the 60's and 70's such as Here's Lucy, The Lucy Show, Mister Ed, Laverne & Shirley, Dennis the Menace, The Monkees, The Ann Sothern Show, The Munsters, My Mother the Car, ect. The most underrated sitcom I think is Here's Lucy (1968-1974).

Of what's on that list, I picked Futurama. Futurama is a great show with sharp, smart writing and a funny mix of characters. Lately Futurama has been better than the Simpsons (though of course it doesn't beat Simpsons when it was in its heyday).

I agree that Wings and NewsRadio are also underrated. I also think the Drew Carey Show is underrated. I don't watch it very much, but when I do, I enjoy the risks they take to bring some cutting edge weirdness to prime-time comedy (such as breaking out in song like they used to do in musicals, and their annual April Fool's contest where you have to look for all the mistakes they slip in the show).

Futurama, definitely. Great show. You just don't find characters like Bender everywhere!

[donald snl]

[DianeChambers87]

3rd rock from the sun was great!!

[barwars]

of those shows....
Futurama.

[Crimson and Clover]

Freaks and Geeks

[RichFonz]

Even though not on the polls, my underrated list of surprises include:

1. I Dream Of Jeannie
2. Rhoda
3. Odd Couple
4. WKRP In Cincinnati
5. Laverne & Shirley (California years)
6. Dennis The Menace

When L&S was in Milwaukee, many fans--myself included--enjoyed it, so I don't consider it underrated.

The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. It is hilarious!! :lol:

[Czas na Zywiec]

No doubt in my mind, Futurama. It was shoved in a horrible 6PM Sunday slot, where football would almost always pre-empt it during the fall season. Then, during the spring, they'd always pre-empt it to show a Simpsons or KOTH rerun. It was ridiculous the way FOX handled it. They hated it. I'm suprised they even allowed to air 72 episodes.

Mine is not on the list: Perfect Strangers :D

"Freaks and Geeks" may have been more of a dramedy than a sitcom, and it may have been underrated more by audiences than by critics, but yes, I voted for it. It flopped with viewers because they were uncomfortable with a show that depicted high school like it really is. Entertainment Weekly said something really cruel about it when it was cancelled - kids like these weren't popular in high school, so why should they be popular with viewers? :mad: HAR HAR HAR. NBC got what it deserved when, after cancelling "Freaks and Geeks" and removing it from its Monday night time slot (it was originally on Saturdays), they built a Monday night schedule for the 2000-01 season around mediocre dramas and bad sitcoms. That lineup debuted in October 2000, after the Sydney Olympics; by November 2000, it had been cut to ribbons, with three out of four cancellations. Now, if they'd kept "Freaks and Geeks," NBC would have at least been guaranteed a small but loyal Monday night audience! :happyface

[Stuck In The '70's]

3rd Rock From The Sun

[peter may]

i chose OFF CENTRE that show was hilarious

[Tuesday Weld]

None of the choices you gave,but IMO,Daddy Dearest was and is VERY underrated.
