Let's hear what you think are some of the best, worst, overrated, underrated shows or whatnot.

One of the shows that I really liked that came to an end too soon was Herman's Head. That show was just funny.

I can't remember the last time I watched anything on 'regular' TV......altho...up until last year, House was a mustsee.
I'd almost rather wait till I can see the complete season of whatever on DVD.....no commercials........and I can take a bathroom break when I want to. :lol:

Awhile back I remember reading a SI, Dr Z piece about how much he hated Seinfeld........that's where I decided not to like him much.

I was lucky enough, a few (Ok... alot) of years ago, to be at a taping of Seinfeld. My cousin was married to one of the camera men. It was the episode where Poppie pees on Jerry's couch. It was pretty cool. Got to meet them all. That was fun TV.

Best of current shows (In order): 24, The Unit, NCIS, Psych, Monk, House, Numbers, Chuck, Criminal Minds, Crusoe, Burn Notice

Worst of current shows: mainstream media network news and news feature shows, any reality show (how about that--I agree with arcilite twice in one week), any of the many unfunny comedy shows

24. Otherwise I havent watched network TV since Clooney was on ER. Sopranos and 6 feet under were good on HBO.

the only entertainment TV show I watch is 30 Rock. Oh ya, I watch parts of Letterman & Craig Fergusson sometimes.

I like Numbers and Criminal Minds as well. I'm giving The Menalist show a try, only one episode and it's so-so. I'll give it one or two more.

I've been curious about Burn Notice. I do like 24, Lost, and the Unit, with The Unit being the weaker of the 3.

Does anyone like The Closer with Kebin Bacon's wife?

If you like 24 you'll probably like burn notice.

Anyone watch Lie to Me? I liked the first episode.

Favorites now (although I'm more likely to watch them on DVD): Lost, 24, Grey's Anatomy

Favorites of the past: Cheers, 3rd Rock, Friends, King Of Queens, Sopranos

Overrated: How I Met Your Mother, all of the CSI shows, just about everything else

I liked Seinfeld and M.A.S.H., but felt both were a little overrated. The later M.A.S.H. shows anyways. Same with Everybody Loves Raymond.

I wish I had the time to watch shows like The Office, Deadwood (when it was on), Entourage, etc.

Very cool story. I wish I could have gone to a taping of the show, but I got the next best thing. The first weekend in December, Jerry Seinfeld peformed in Charleston, WV and I was able to get tickets. He was hilarious and performed over an hour.

Any fans who like or watch the US Office should definitely check out the UK office. It's funnier, IMO, but it's an interesting comparison between both. Ricky Gervais is hilarious.

I rarely watch TV but when I do it's Austin City Limits, This Old House, Frontline/Frontline World, Nova, Nature, Masterpiece Theater and of course football. Boring shit for most people I guess. I have not watched a network drama series since the X-Files.

My TV is used for Netflix/Blu-Ray more than anything else.

I love the cast of the office and have seen it once or twice.....most everything else on TV is garbage.
:lol:

A few more I could add to the list:
Walker, Texas Ranger (Chuck Norris kicks ass)
Early Edition (Used to be on years ago...a guy gets a newspaper for the following day a day early...he can try to change bad things from happening)

kath and kim to me is the worst show i've seen in quite some time. i hate molly shannon with a passion, she's so damn annoying, i'd love kick her right in her fucking mouth. and i despise selma blair

this show is simple unbearable to me and its shoved right in between 2 of my favorite shows, forcing me to switch channels and watch the last 30 minutes of hells kitchen

i can't wait for it to get canceled, and it looks like it's gonna come soon

All I pretty much watch (aside from Sports) are crime-related shows...

First 48, Manhunters, DEA, Forensic Files, etc ...

I love that shit :D
