Most overrated shows

big bang theory... seriously, it's not even funny.

I would have to say here comes honey boo boo. Why does anyone care about a family who is rude and eats too much...

It's a complete trainwreck to watch. No matter how bad life is, you can tune in and go...."well, could be worse..."

Dexter and The Office.

Everybody Loves Raymond is just crap... crap that sounds like kermit.

I agree on two of the three...I like the office. It has gone downhill since Steve Carrel left, but I still like it.

The original UK office was much better than the American copy. You should try and track it down

Any and all reality shows, they are not reality!

Real Housewives of "insert county." Those women are an insult to real housewives like myself I'd give them all a run for their money. They are a bunch of immature grown women who should be embarrassed at their actions!

Anything on MTV/Vh1. I remember when they both played music and had shows related to music. Since when does getting knocked up at 16 having anything to do with music? Teen Mom is a horrible show and i"d like to smack all those brats. They are horrible and it's scary they are going to be parents. Need I even mention the teen who turned porn star?!

American Idol, Glee, America's Got Talent, X Factor, Honey Boo Boo, Duck Dynasty, Toddlers and Tiara's, The Kardashians and the list goes on.


I'm shocked anyone mentioned Dexter!! It is my favorite show. To those who said it's overrated why is that? Have you watched it for any length of time? What do you consider good tv?

I don't have cable I use a Roku for online streaming. I love my Netflix! I watch documentaries all day and then I can watch any show I want that is streaming. Lately it's "Pretty Little Liars" lol yes I watch that. It's silly but I'd rather watch that than any reality show out there.

Jeez where do I start

American Idol......Glee.....NCIS, CSI (just watch the news).......I hated Everybody loves Raymond, his voice makes me cringe.....All reality with emphasis on this Honey Boo Boo garbage.

Any of that that 'reality' bollocks and X-Factor garbage - absolutely mind numbingly awful.

But the one that really get's me, I don't know if anyone outside the UK has seen it, is Mrs Brown's Boys, I find it possibly the most 'not funny' sit-com I've seen for decades.
People look at me as if I have two heads when I tell them how crap I think it is - am I really the only one?

Home Improvement .... worst show ever. If I were that wife - Jill - I would have divorced that guy.
Friends ... Courtney Cox and Jennifer Anniston. Self absorbed ninnies.
2 Broke Girls ... NOT FUNNY.
Jersey Shore .... absolute stupidity and not in a funny way.
Anything and everything on the Oprah network.
Honey Boo-boo ... for obvious reasons.
ETA ... just had to add 'punked' .. that garbage that Ashton Kutcher put out.

Almost any group of friends or family based reality show. I've asked people point blank why they would waste their time on that garbage and most of them reply "Yea, I know its garbage, it's just like comfort food or trashy dance music after a long day." I repeat...WHY ARE YOU WASTING YOUR TIME ON GARBAGE???

big bang theory wins this contest. "if i hear someone say 'i'm such a nerd i love big bang theory' or 'i just like it for its smart references'" i'm going to stare at them until their head explodes.

For me crime shows are overrated. I know who "did it" pretty much as soon as they are on the screen. My daughter put me to the test the other day, some new show with the guy who was on Will & Grace. I've never seen the show, yet guessed the killer within 5 seconds of her being on the screen. They even tried to twist it at the end, where my daughter was like, "Hah! you were wrong!" But I wasn't. In the last 5 minutes, I was right all along...much to her frustration, hehe... "Caleidoscope" was the name of the episode...not sure of the show's name. I even guessed the killer's avatar in the virtual world game of the episode....hehe.

I do love Big Bang Theory though. Hot gals, nerdy puns, references many have to look up. Fun and unique characters, just a fun to watch show. (and they often play boardgames we play that most "normies" have never heard of)

Stare away if you feel the need....

Agree wholeheartedly. They've jumped the shark long time ago. Get sick of the hype.

Did you hear their latest scheme? Have old contestants back as judges, really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Never watched any of those shows but from the clips and the hype Honey Boo Boo has to be up their with the worst shows. Goes to show how successful they've been in dumbing down the people.

You've listed pretty much everything on my list. Nice to know there's still people with intelligence.

All the CSI shows. Jeez, how many ways are there to commit a crime???

The first episode of The Following was good, then it just turned into another cop show.

Tell me about it, how much fluid can they find on things!

Can we stick Snookie in there please, she is a no talent hack..actually I dont think she does anything really??
What the hell is her purpose?

Oh and if anyone says any more badness about Dexter...faces will be ripped off K
