Poll question: flamebait: most overrated show
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 11:37 AM by pres2032
i personally have to go with Seinfeld. I never got into it and never saw it as being really funny.

1. ER.

It's just another damn hospital show. No great shakes. But NBC will sometimes air these promos...particulaly during Sweeps...and you'd think you will be watching Shakespearean drama. Please...

BTW...I like the "Saved By the Bell" option. :-)

2. I hate seinfeld, and I stopped liking friends once I was out of my teens

The food network is a much better use of your TV time.

12. There is a distinct proportion of the population
That doesn't like Seinfeld. No harm in that. But I have found people that don't like Pizza, bananas and Seinfeld I have serious problems with. :-)

3. So many over-rated on that list
But I picked West Wing. Way over-rated show. I cringe every time The Sopranos and Six Feet Under lose emmies to that show.

4. I'm really hard pressed....
...to choose between "Seinfeld" and "Friends". Let me hear the arguments for both.

5. I must agree with you on "Seinfeld"
Listening to a bunch of self-absorbed, whiny, over-privileged people with bad manners and no class obsessing about the little things was never my idea of funny, either.

Just didn't like it...never got into it.

6. I voted for 'Friends', but I'd say that overhype show #2 is...
'Family Guy'.

8. Never got what the big hoopla about Seinfield is?
Never liked that show...

Simpsons isn't overated, it's great :)

9. "Married with Children"
STUNNINGLY unfunny, in my opinion. Of course, opinion is all it is because obviously someone found it funny or it wouldn't have lasted as long as it did.

Why is this flamebait? :shrug:

10. because i'm sure there are fanactics for all of these shows
I personally think the West Wing is the greatest show ever made, but of course there may be people who disagree with that (like that poster above)

11. I can't tell you how glad I am to see 'Friends' running away with this.
Gawd what a pathetic show. It's in NYC and virtually everyone on the show was lily-white!

13. I clicked Seinfeld, but it's really the reality shows.
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 11:46 AM by UdoKier
Not one of them is worth a damn, and as cynical and repetitive as Seinfeld is, it's a thousand times better than any reality show.
