Oh where to begin....

ABC - Grey's Anatomy (and Dancing With The Stars)
CBS - Two and a Half Men
CW - America's Next Top Model
FOX - Family Guy (and American Idol)
NBC - Deal or No Deal (and Heroes)

Grey's Anatomy and Heroes have both lost a huge amount of steam in the past year or so. Not that they were ever critical darlings, but it seems that whatever critical acclaim they did once have is gone now. But even though their ratings are down and there's been a backlash by viewers, they are still highly overrated shows by the general public.

I've been a fan of American Idol since the beginning, but I will say it is extremely overrated. Just from the designs of the sets you can tell how full of themselves the producers are.

Family Guy is funny every now and then, but a lot of the time it isn't. Not every episode of this show is gold, whether FOX admits it or not. This is becoming one of the most overrated shows ever.

America's Next Top Model and Dancing With The Stars are both very overrated "reality" shows. It's sad that network TV has sunk so low and continues to air shows like these. And it's really sad that people continue to watch them. I guess we all have our guilty pleasures though.

Deal or No Deal - Ratings have been going down, and now there's a daytime version of the show. Hopefully that means NBC will get rid of it in primetime over the next year.

Two and a Half Men - Is this show ever NOT going to be on top?

ABC - Grey's. I keep reading about how ridiculous it is, and yet ABC still loves it to death. :rolleyes:

CBS - CSI:Miami

NBC - Everything. Except maybe SVU.

FOX - AMERICAN IDOL.

CW - I have no idea! I hear more about Gossip Girl than I feel is necessary, but I've never seen it, so can't really say.

Hi

Not sure if it fits here but I Just HAD to vent.

I'm a cartoon network junkie. Love it. Adult Swim mostly but really most good cartoons. However, recently I have been bombarded with disgusting crap by the name of Total Drama Island and 6Teen. EEGAHH!!! Horrible to say the least. There is nothing funny or appealing about these shows at all and yet the programming geniuses see fit to air them about 10 times a day. Every time I turn it on now It's either on or there is going to be an 8 episode marathon just about to commence.

I try to escape these teeny bopper reality shows. That's why I watch cartoon network so much. Unfortunately they want to start going in this direction for some reason. It just pisses me off.

Vent done.:D

HAve a good one.:)

ABC: EM: HE, though Grey's is getting close lately.

CBS: Anything crime drama related, which is pretty much everything. :rolleyes:

NBC: 30 Rock. It's not funny.

FOX: Terminator

The CW: Gossip Girl!!!!!!!!!! It's not that good and it's ratings suck and yet Dawn Ostroff acts like it's the best show ever. Gag me.
