marleau_12 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just name some shows you find overrated (except Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, or Dexter cause you're INSANE if you say one of those ). A premature one for me is Suits. I saw about six episodes and was bored as hell through every single one of them. I never saw what was so great about the show or the characters (and Rick Hoffman has a face a mother couldn't even love). Modern Family sucks. The characters are just annoying as it gets now. Can't believe this show still has a fan base (unless people tune in occasionally to see Sarah Hyland like me). The Walking Dead had a good first season and some of the second season looked promising but I'm pretty much bored and on my phone through the entire episode until the last four minutes or so. The characters are all garbage and I honestly do not care when any of them die (ON THE SHOW!) This pretty much sums the show up: And I never laugh at Community. But I really don't laugh at much of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The walking dead. I started watching, cause I read the comic. The show is laughably bad sometimes, but can put together the odd awesome episode. It's unreal how likeable the characters are in the comic, and how irritating they are in the show. First 4 seasons of breaking bad were intoxicating. I loved it. Watched first episode of season 5 and I was so disappointed :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeeterHansen Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I really, really like it...but I think "The Big Bang Theory" is extremely over rated. As well as "Mike and Molly" and "2 Broke Girls"....I'm just tired of the poorly acted sitcoms, I guess... (even though BBT isn't necessarily poorly acted...the other two are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danthecanucksfan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 That's the perfect summarization of the walking dead, that's EXACTLY how I feel everytime I watch. Also, after a great first season, Mr.D on CBC is really disappointing this season, I don't even bother watching, normally I'd be making sure I don't miss it, but this season I've missed 4 or 5 episodes.

(even though BBT isn't necessarily poorly acted...the other two are) BBT was great for the first 4 seasons. 5 was pretty, eh, didn't really have it's charm, same with the new season, but that episode where the boys were looking for that "tenure" gig and sucked up to the committee was great. one of the best episodes in years i remember arrested development was really boring burn notice was anotehr one, but i actually warmed up to that show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Almost every hit show is becoming overrated these days. Probably due to the lack of quality. There aren't too many shows where I'm saying "can't wait for the next episode" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The Big Bang Theory I do not like. Basically the entire premise of the show is "lets all laugh at these nerds doing nerdy things". Not that funny. I also hate shows with a laugh track (I don't care if its a "live studio audience" or not). Its pretty much just saying "Hey, we know you're stupid, thats why you watch this show. But we think your intelligence is SO LOW that we're adding a laugh track to tell you whats funny." That or they realize the jokes are bad so they try to cover it up with the laugh track. I also don't care for Community. I find the comedy formulaic and predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllEyezOnMe Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 No way the walking dead is a great show one of the best in awhile imo but two and a half men is overrated ever since Charlie sheen left the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the BBT ever since it was first released and I still love it. Provides me with epic comedy every week (or whenever its on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The Big Bang Theory, definitely. The only show I still watch weekly (well, the only one I get with my TV package anyway) is Community, but this season has just been awful... I've barely laughed at all. It just feels like they're rehashing everything from the first 3 seasons since Dan Harmon left and nobody knows how to write anything original anymore. (And the forced love plots are just cringe-inducing). I'll probably stick it out until the end (unlike The Office, which just became unwatchable) but I can't see it being renewed for another season and I'm not sure I'd want to.

I love the BBT ever since it was first released and I still love it. Provides me with epic comedy every week (or whenever its on) Thats really just a different phrasing of what I said. The Big Bang Theory's comedy can be boiled down to this: "Uh oh, Leonard has trouble with Penny because he's a nerd lolololol!" "Howard can't pick up chicks because he's a nerd and doesn't understand women lololololol!" "Sheldon doesn't understand this particular social convention because he's a nerd! (or has aspergers) lololol" "Raj can't talk to women because he's insecure and a nerd! lolololol" "Look, they went to a comic convention/are playing video games/dressing up as superheroes/whatever! isn't that nerdy? lolololol!" "They said some complex scientific equation the less intelligent characters don't understand! lololololol" These are all tropes that have been tread countless times before. Besides, intelligence=/=nerdiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beluga Whale Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Big bang theory - first couple of seasons were good but since it hast been too good. The Walking Dead - decent show but overrated Community - the new season is brutal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The Soprano's, save yourself a good portion of your life and watch Goodfellas instead. Breaking Bad, I don't know if it got good after the 4th episode becaise that's all I could watch. Eastbound and Down season 3. Not overrated because I never heard anyone ever talk about it. I expected more from Kenneth Powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
