What out of these 13 sitcoms are so overrated?

Friends. I've seen all the rest except for Lizzy McGuire and I like them all.

Friends.

kinda hard to choose. I agree with Friends being the most overrated of the lot, but I'd take the worst episode of Friends over Full House, Sabrina, Lizzie Mcguire, Fresh Prince or Boy Meets World's best

Out of all the big ones, I would say Friends. I do like the series and find it quite funny at times, but it wasn't as good as the hype suggested it was. In its last season, NBC was acting like it was the most important sitcom of all time (which, I guess, was NBC's job), but in the end, it will go down as being an enjoyable triffle if anything. I think the best sitcoms are the ones that have been a force for social change, namely Roseanne and All In The Family. Sitcoms have the power to do that, unlike dramas, and if they can do it while being really funny, all the better.

Defintely Friends.

"Friends," for sure. But it's hardly a competition - how many people on Sitcoms Online really watched "Lizzie McGuire" or "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" to the point where it could be considered overrated? And other choices ("Growing Pains," "Family Matters," "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air") don't make as much sense as, say, "Seinfeld," "Happy Days" or "I Love Lucy."

I'm sure, though, that a lot of people will equate the word "overrated" with "bad" when they don't mean the same thing at all. A show can be overrated and still be a well-executed show.

I like Friends a lot, but still feel it is severely overrated. I'd rank it in my top 10, but it still gets way more attention than it deserves.

Anyways, I voted for Full House, which does was does far too well in the ratings, and has far too many fans for being a sub-par show. There is nothing about Full House that makes it a good show. Yet I still like it, simply because it reminds me of my childhood. Nostalgia and trash at the same time.... isn't it nice??


Sabrina and Lizzie McGuire aren't any good, but I like the rest of the list. I don't like FH much either, but it is the most guilty of pleasures. And even then, I get no pleasure. It's a weird situation, that can't really be explained.

Yep, I vote for Friends as well.

Friends, Full House, and Roseanne.

I don't really like the shows as much, but I can't stand Lizzie (starring that annoying & overrated blonde Hilary). Both Sabrina, and Lizzie are pretty much overrated when it comes to the stars of both shows. Every single show that I mentioned on that list are alot more popular than shows like Webster, It's Your Move, Coach, Major Dad, Even Stevens, and most definitely "Coming of Age".

Its not on the list but Seinfeld.
Of those maybe Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Friends never got more attention than it deserved.

Nice try but Sabrina the Teenage Witch Friends had alot of attention, and I don't have a problem with Seinfeld. But I am going to say this again, every single show that I mentioned (plus Seinfeld & Home Improvement) are way more popular than Universal's sitcoms like Operation Petticoat, Coach, Major Dad, and the short-lived Coming of Age.

I would have to say The Cosby Show. The half a dozen times I saw it back in the late 80's I found it to be totally unfunny.

Friends, definetly, but I voted for Lizzie McGuire. I have no idea why. :lol:

Seinfeld still should be on the list, but at least it's actually funny. My pick is most definitely TCS, every cast member on the show made it in Hollywood.

1-Friends
2- Cosby
3- Fresh Prince
4- Whos the Boss
5- Roseanne

Full house abd Lizzy Mcguire. Most of these show's didn't get alot of attention but I think those got more then they should have. Friends got a lot of attention but it should have.
