Top Three Over-rated US Sitcoms

1, Friends: It has its moments but nothing more.
2, Frasier: (as above)
3, Rosanne: (same again)

>_<

Hmmmm just off the top of my head I would have to say:
1. Two and A Half Men:
It's not funny why is it still on...why are people watching it in droves...and why is it winning awards?! Oh yea now I remember because there are no traditional sitcoms left on US TV.
2. Friends:
I watched it, and I've been watching more and more of it over the last few years in re-run form. But overall the show (in my opinion) killed the traditional US sitcom. It forced every other sitcom that followed to go in one of two places, Friends style or Everybody Loves Raymond style. No family vs Family sitcoms. Boooooo....
3. Full House AND ALL THE OTHER 90s TGIF line up on ABC!
I am sick and tired of people praising this show as the best of sitcoms and saying this was the best time for sitcoms. They were unfunny yuk a minute family slosh. Yes I was a dumb kid that liked this crap too, but now that I'm older I am intelligent enough to know crap when I see it. So that goes for Family Matters, Step by Step, Boy Meets world ect..ect..

Seinfeld
I Love Lucy
Cheers

Don't make me go into details.

Seinfeld

:O Angry

ok, that's the first. Anyone else? :)

I agree with WrongTale. It's good, but it's not nearly as amazing as its reputation would have one believe.

Yes, but you don't like Spaced, therefore your opinion is worthless. Tee-hee.

Seinfeld is fantastic.

Spaced is possibly THE most overrated sitcom of all time, of any country.

I'd agree Roseanne is overrated, I never really got into that show.

1. Will and Grace
2. The Golden Girls
3. Saved By The Bell

Who are these people who actually rate Saved By The Bell?!

Nods.

Not because it's the worst, but because its reputation is so inflated compared to its mediocre quality.

wrong. There.

Which is why I said these two threads are confusingly similar. :)
