Out of these choices, which has to be the most overrated?

Sitcomwriter · 02-27-2002, 11:31 PM

Friends is UNDERRATED!

GoldenFamilyTies · 02-27-2002, 11:34 PM

I myself voted for Facts of Life, I just could never get into that show at all. I don't think Friends really is underrated, I think it's about where it should be.

Just my opinions of course!

This was a close one. I never cared for Full House, but Facts of Life just bored me to tears and got my vote. I know a lot of people love this show, but it simply wasn't for me. It comes on, and I reach for the remote.
To each his own I guess.

With the exception of Everybody Loves Raymond, I don't care for any of those shows. I think Friends is the most overrated. I just don't find it funny at all. I hate it!

I voted for Friends too. I like it, but not as much as when it first came out. Full house is the only show on that list that i don't like.

Superbatboy · 02-28-2002, 03:07 PM

My vote went for Happy Days. I just never liked that show. I thought Laverne & Shirley was much better. Well...at least the early years of L&S. And Friends came close to getting my vote. Even though I LOVE the show very much, it's not as good as it was during the first 5 seasons.

I voted for The Facts of Life, my "second most" overrated would be Friends.

JethroSimpson · 02-28-2002, 06:11 PM

Definetly Friends, it is quite funny sometimes but is generally not that good.

Mr. Shy Guy · 02-28-2002, 06:26 PM

Friends is the most overrated. I hate that show.

Friends. Sorry, but no actor is worth what those people are making for that pile of bandwagon garbage.

Chocoholic · 02-28-2002, 07:11 PM

I wouldn't watch Friends if they paid ME one million dollars per episode!

°Bubbly Blonde° · 02-28-2002, 07:41 PM

I don't see why Friends is winning!!! Friends is alot more realistic than Gilligan's Island ever was!! Friends is not overrated, it didn't get alot of publicity at first, until the media just COULDN'T ignore the fact that Friends was so popular and so well written..THAT'S when it started getting publicity, when everyone started watching it.

The Facts of Life - It's a great show and I was pleasntly surprised by this sitcom. Wish it would return to TV.
I Love Lucy - Simply THE classic sitcom.
Diff'rent Strokes - Another great show. Glad it's back to TV on TNN
The Brady Bunch - Somewhat overrated, but that's simply my opinion. Could have used more laughs.
Full House - Wow...I haven't seen this show in years. Maybe I'll tune in to WGN one day to see if its funny or not
Friends - Talk about overrated! I've seen two episodes, and simply was not amused. Again, simply my opinion. (Reality doesn't always equal fun, unreality simply can rule!)
Everybody Loves Raymond - Have never seen it. Any good?
Gilligan's Island - Great slapstick and goofiness.
Happy Days - I love this show. TV Land, bring it back. HEEEY!

Three's Company - Another superb show. Glad its on TNN and N@N.
