Seinfeld + Friends - terrible
30 for 30, E:60 - awesome, but rarely shown and seem to be lots of repeats
Haven - Great sci-fi
Misfits - British sci-fi / comedy

I liked Action with Jay Mohr when it was on. It was like Entourage ahead of its time.

Overrated: The Sopranos -- it's not bad, it's just not nearly as good as everyone said it was.

Don't people have to praise a movie for it to be considered overrated? Pearl Harbor is only scoring a mere 25% positive on the Tomatometer. It also was the source of my favourite first sentence to any of Roger Ebert's reviews:
Quote:

"Pearl Harbor" is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle.

Over-rated:
The Pacific - The action and CG is amazing, but the series as a whole is rather bland.
Under-rated:
Community (in terms of viewers)
Parks and Rec (in terms of viewers)
Chuck (in terms of viewers)
They all rank pretty highly with critics and most people who actually watch them, sadly though the general public doesn't watch them and they are all either on the verge of cancellation or cancelled.

As is Community and Chuck. Still don't see the appeal.

I liked that show Reaper but obviously not many other people did since it only lasted 2 seasons.
And Deadwood should have lasted much longer than it did.

I still have no idea how Million Dollar Baby won a best picture Oscar, but everyone seemed to love it.
