I got quite a few

All of those HBO Dramas- I am Absolutely Sick of hearing how Game Of Thrones And The Wire are the best Tv shows of all time. They aren't!

Breaking Bad- What is so entertaining about a crackhead who sells crystal meth?
A: Nothing

The Big Bang Theory- This is another show that is so overrated. I don't find it funny at all

The Honeymooners

What are yours?

I agree about Big Bang. I actually watched it when it started but the show changed, its not funny at all now.

As for other shows I find overrated....pretty much all the trash on TV these days, JMHO

A lot the modern dramas that air on cable or have aired on cable, like Mad Men and Nip/Tuck. Many of the characters are unsympathetic and unlikable and there seems to be things done for shock value that really don't enhance or help the plot along.

Also:

Downton Abbey
All in the Family
Cheers
Friends
Seinfeld
The Big Bang Theory
Modern Family
Scandal
Two and a Half Men

2010s: Parks and Recreation

That couldn't be more farther from the truth. This would be the real list of most overrated Tv shows by decade

1950s- I Love Lucy\ The Honeymooners
1960s- The Dick Van Dyke Show
1970s- All In The Family
1980s- Cheers
1990s- Seinfeld
2000s-???????
2010s- Modern Family

I like most of the shows on here but its just that they are really overrated

I have rarely watched any series after the 80's so cannot comment on those.
For the 50's through the 80's these are the ones I didn't and still don't like and never got the appeal:

MASH- (Number 1 on the list for me by far.)
I Love Lucy
Welcome Back Kotter
Laverne and Shirley
Bewitched
Petticoat Junction
Barney Miller

mets82 · 01-27-2016, 08:15 PM

MASH
The Cosby Show
