I agree with that about newer episodes
Originally it was pretty good and had an appeal to all kinds while now it focuses on just insulting things conceived as "nerdy" at every possible time and focuses more on sex jokes than intelligent humour
It made being a comic fan hard when people I know decided that show was the description of everyone who likes them :(

All Televised shows are overrated to the wazoo the ONLY SHOWS that stand up to the hype are Science Fiction!

Stargate.

Off the top of my head and In no particular order:

Fringe
30 Rock
The Office
Futurama
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Stargate
Mad Men
Sherlock
Game of Thrones
Arrow
Parks and Recreation
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Misfits
Arrested Development
Shameless
Doctor Who
Firefly
Community
The Big Bang Theory
Curb Your Enthusiasm
X-Files
The Walking Dead
The Simpsons

I could probably think of some more if you like.

Walking Dead. Tried watching season 1, but just got bored after a few episodes.

Ah, so many shows come to mind, but I am astonished because nobody has mentioned "Lost" yet.

>shows
>the first post is about anime

thread ruined from the start.

btw. for me it's Dexter. It starts mediocre and then it becomes utter shit and stays that way till the end.

Don't forget swear words like fuck and bitch and cunt. Swear words in a medieval fantasy setting, unacceptable for me.



Anyway no contest for me:

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The internet is so full of my little pony crap its unavoidable that I did saw a lot of episodes and while its head and shoulders above other cartoons shows these days, Goddamn how did it got this famous?

I'm not even American, I usually hate dramas and I freaking love Mad Men.

Actually, rather them me listing every overrated show, I'll just link to a list of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_programs_by_name

That's because they don't want anyone to think that they didn't understand the show.

Which makes no sense since the meaning of Lost seems to be a haphazard job patched together the last season.

Random thought. That glowing buttplug would fit perfectly in a Twilight movie.

Yeah but had anyone ever claimed that it was decent ?


In fact, not just the swear words, but all the phrasing, in these series, are very modern, with recent fashionable expressions like "you don't want to do this", etc... It's kinda ok to me in Game of Thrones because it's an invented fantasy setting, so why not, but in a historical setting (such as Rome), it really irks me.

You did not just insult Doctor Who, Arrested Development and Arrow in my sight :(
My heart can't take this list without crying

They're some of my favourite shows (except Arrow, never could get into that one). However, they are totally overrated by some people.

It would probably be easier to list shows that are underrated. I can't think of any atm.

EDIT: and literally as soon as I typed that a topic was started about underrated shows. How mystical.

I loved Spartacus for their "invented" archaic language, but I understand many of the viewers are confused and the main reason why television doesn't use archaic flavouring is because people wouldn't understand it.
I've seen the pilot of Doctor Who 2005 and thought it's decent. Then I saw the second episode (last day of the earth or something) and it was fucking horrible. One of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.

And then my journey with New Doctor Who ended.
