What do you think is the most over rated show?? Just curious

Chocoholic · 01-31-2003, 10:04 AM

Friends- I have never understood the apeal of this show. I've tried watching and it never makes me laugh. The plots are stupid, the writing and jokes are lame and repetitive, and the characters are not people I'd like to be friends with. If people like Friends, that's cool. I'll be watching something I enjoy.

I never cared for I Love Lucy. I can watch an episode here and there, but I don't really enjoy it. It's too slapstick, if that's the right word, for me. Yet it's a classic and people love it.
I don't hate it at all. I think the cast was extremely talented.
It just never pulled me in.

Hey Janice, I was all up in R. Kelly's business last night and I found out that he, like myself, feels The West Wing is just way too overated. (he prefers Teen Disney shows).

I know its a quality show, but it isn't this stuff of greatness that all the awards shows seem to want to make it. I don't see the appeal and it's not my cup of tea.

Good one dlemond. I've never missed an episode of The West Wing, but I'm thinking of throwing in the towel. It's gotten so political that I can't keep up with the dialogue anymore. There's barely any personal story to it. It also took a nosedive in the hunk quotient with the loss of Rob Lowe.
I still tape it every week, but watching it feels more like a chore these days.

MASH - I just never understood the appeal. I HAVE watched it, I just don't overall like it. It's so boring. Sorry to the fans who like it.

That's about it, I guess. I dont really feel I can pass judgement on Friends, etc. I HAVE watched, I laugh at them, but they're not favorites of mine, I wouldn't call them overrated I guess, LOL. I dunno.

I dont think any show is really over rated - if one person doesn't like it, it doesnt suit their taste then it will for someone else. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Friends and Will and Grace but you could not PAY my boss to watch them. She likes things like American Idol - something I have no interest in and don't really "get". Doesn't mean it's overrated.

Did I make any sense? I dunno.

M*A*S*H I think is overrated big time. The same goes for The Osbournes. The whole Osbourne thing 'Jumped The Shark' in my opinion.

Chad22 · 01-31-2003, 05:59 PM

Friends And just about all reality shows except Tough Enough

Penny Lane · 01-31-2003, 08:30 PM

Mash
Taxi
Friends

LucyFan · 01-31-2003, 10:05 PM

The most overrated shows:

~ The Andy Griffith Show
TV Land practical praises this show by running it to the ground twice in the evening every day since 2000.

~ All In The Family / Archie Bunker's Place
Everyone seems to make a big deal on how this show "changed" television. Yes it did but for the worse . . .

~ Gilligan's Island
TV Land runs the episodes way too often. They go through the entire series like in one month or less.

AnaheimPMWitch · 01-31-2003, 10:41 PM

well I use to LOVE Friends Now I'm just sick of it (go figure though my dad LOVES it now) and WELL every Reality WITH the exception of the Mole, Celebrity Mole Hawaii and the Amazing Race
