    FRIENDS...

    Yep, I said it :ohwell:

    Agreed. Marginally less corny than HIMYM, but only marginally. I could bear it, if I didn't have anything better to do. Like de-fluff my naval.

    LMAO
    the ole de-fluffing :laugh:

    Seinfeld
    HGTV - I know....that's actually a whole network...but trust me...I've been forced to watch it for hours at a time. it's all just the same damn show! *spit* bourgeois pigs!

    My reaction to including Seinfeld:

    As for overrated, I could never stand Home Improvement. Also, Malcolm in the Middle was popular for a while...did not like it.

    The 100. They are looking for a broad reach of ages with a tweenie show.

    Any of the singing/dancing/talent shows, The real housewives, bachelors or bachelorettes. When did TLC go from THE LEARNING CHANNEL to trivial crap channel, Honey Boo Boo gag me.

    Yep ........all this!

    "Reality" shows......yeah right

    Yep.

    HGTV is just background television.

    But here our opinions will differ: I can't tolerate the Walking Dead. At all.

    Game of thrones, too. i watched the first season through and just completely lost interest. moves reallllly slow and there's too many characters to really care about any.

    I'm curious what shows people watch who say they hate Dexter, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead.
    I need to make fun of their choices.

    Breaking Bad... maybe not overrated... but I had to stop watching it. I hated how a good guy with a good marriage fell apart, destroyed his family, destroyed his marriage... I went through the first season, and started the second, but found the disintegration of his home life so sad that I just didn't want to watch anymore.


    The walking dead... I couldn't get past the opening credits where the little girl in the housecoat with the stuffy gets shot in the head. Yeah I know she was a zombie... but she looked like my daughter.

    The Simpsons.

    I know, I know... get the torches.

    Dammit, you're fast. Went back and edited it. The point is, I never understood the hype about the show. Couldn't get into it after five minutes.

    ^ That's because Breaking Bad isn't mind-blowing within the first five minutes. Sure, it can be slow at times, but there's a beauty in that; this speed shows the gradual development of the protagonist, a seemingly good-natured guy, down a path of darkness in a horrifyingly intriguing manner. Just saying. You should give it another go. :)


    I haven't seen the Walking Dead, but the idea of it doesn't really appeal to me. Just because it doesn't appeal to me do I think it's overrated, though.

    ^This. Breaking Bad is about the transformation of Mr. Rogers to Scarface.

    i HATED breaking bad. i marathon watched the first two seasons and so thoroughly disliked all of the characters that i wished that dumb plane (it was a plane crash, right?) had crashed into all of them and ended the series.

    Didn't think so, but I could be wrong. Just stating opinions.

    Seems to be a very polarizing show. I don't think I've ever met anyone who thought it was just ok.

    I marathon watched the first season over a couple of night during a bad spell of insomnia. I was completely hooked, and enjoyed it thoroughly to the end.

    But heck, the world would be pretty dull if we all liked exactly the same thing, right? Though admittedly it would be easier to find something good on TV.
