What is one show that you think is underrated for each of the 5 broadcast networks?

ABC According to Jim
CBS Million Dollar Password
CW Privileged
FOX nothing
NBC Chuck (I don't like this show but my mom does)

CBS - Million Dollar Password
NBC - 1 vs. 100 (this show is better than Deal or No Deal, IMO. Too bad NBC screwed it over).
FOX - American Dad - at 1st I always thought this was the one-joke version of Family Guy, but a deeper look reveals that this show is nothing like Family Guy in terms of making fun of the political events of the eras.

Uh...I have no idea about any of the other networks, but I think CSI:NY is underrated. It was treated like CSI's ugly step-sister for a long time. It's finally getting the attention it deserves.

FOX: Bones - it's constantly being juggled around the schedule to make room for shows like American Idol and House. It's doing really well this season, though.

ABC: Boston Legal - ABC finally put it to rest, but its entire 5 seasons, it's performed well, but ABC moved it around the schedule and never gave it the attention it deserved.

NBC: About every show on this network is underrated besides The Office and 30 Rock. They could care less about their other shows.

CBS: This is a tough one, but of their dramas, I'd probably go with Without a Trace. It was doing well on Thursdays, but they moved it to Tuesdays, where it's still doing modestly. I'd also go with CSY: NY, Ghost Whisperer, and Numbers, which usually are forgotten when it comes to shows like CSI and NCIS. MDP is also becoming very underrated for them.

MDP? I should know that, but I can't place it!

Scrubs is not underrated at ABC they are giving it the royal treatment and doing everything than can to make it a major success for them. However, it was definetly mistreated at NBC.

factsoflife · 01-12-2009, 12:16 AM

CBS: The New Adventures Of Old Christine. This show doesn't get enough attention and CBS doesn't push it hard enough come awards season.

FOX: i agree Bones is not treated fairly at FOX.

ABC: Ugly Betty. they need to do more to promote this little gem of a show.

NBC: once again i must say "Chuck". But for years it was Scrubs.

robyrob · 01-12-2009, 07:58 AM

ABC - Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies
CBS - Eleventh Hour
CW - Reaper
FOX - i don't think anything on FOX is really underrated, but The Simpsons is still a surprisingly good show that doesn't get much attention anymore.
MNTV - don't watch
NBC - Chuck and My Own Worst Enemy

I agree with you on How I Met Your Mother and Old Christine - those are by far the 2 more underrated sitcoms on CBS. HIMYM has been having its best season in awhile, but it gets passed up in the midst of 2.5 Men and Big Bang Theory. And Old Christine - they pushed the move to Wednesdays all summer, yet once the season started, nearly all promotion for the show stopped. And this was the show that won an emmy in its first season . . .
