I dont think That 70's Show is over-rated. Maybe thats because I'm British and we dont rate it so highly to begin with. Sometimes if its on it'll get one or two chuckles out of me and then I'll go about the rest of my day probably never thinking about it again. It's passable but no more. If I was surrounded by people who thought it was more than that then maybe.
I agree with Murder She Wrote. My mother watches load of **** like that, The Father Dowling Mysteries and just other awful, predictable murder mystery/crime investigation types that are just piles of crap. Which brings me to CSI. I havent seen past season 5 and the Tarantino episodes but I can imagine people claiming that was over-rated. I can even understand that opinion. As far as I'm concerned if you accept the forumla then it's a good show. Same with House. If you watch one and then realise you'll have more of the same on your hands if you watch it again then its up to you. It shouldnt come as a surprise to anyone watching either that in that kind of environment you are gonna have a show built around a fairly strict formula and it isnt gonna change much. Seinfeld? Nope. Couldnt disagree more. I've rarely seen an American sitcom with such great scripts and so heavily focused on the dialogue and I think it was a really well crafted sitcom. Doesnt hurt that they balanced it out nicely with some impressive physical comedy and only over-stepped the line with it once or twice. My vote goes here: |

Curb Your Enthusiasm is outstanding. A lot of my mates just don't get the humour which I think is a shame because it truly is, or at least it appears to be, one of a kind and that doesnt happen very often.

i'm not surprised, the humor in Curb Your Enthusiasm is very particular, it's not the humor that has mass appeal that they use in most sitcoms.
I think it's one of the most underrated shows imo.

Absolutely. I made a thread for favourite TV shows when I first signed up here. It was shamefully bad and basically is just a few pages of lists with little discussion. Im thinking I should revamp that mother and try to rescue some credibility in the process.
