While were on the TV show topic . . . Most underrated

We've discussed shows canceled too soon and shows that should be canceled (or stations for that matter ;) ). So now it's time for most underrated TV shows . . .

http://screencrave.com/2011-03-02/top-1 ... -tv-shows/

I, myself, watch or watched five of the ten on the list in that article. Three (SoA, FNL, and Psych) of the shows listed are not available with the satellite package that I have, but I know that if I felt so inclined to tack another $50+ dollars onto my bill I could, and probably would, watch them as well.


What, in your opinion, are shows that you feel are underrated (and why, if you feel so inclined)?

    Fringe & Hawaii 5-0 are both great shows.
    My concern is fringe got moved to Friday nights (which is a show killer)
    Hope they don't kill it.

    I love Five-O :lol: It's kinda cheesy, but man the scenery is freakin' amazing. I watch Supernatural on Friday. I was in the midst of a move when Fringe began so missed quite a few episodes and never got back to it. However, I purchased seasons one & two on DVD, so hopefully I can get caught up in time for season four come September.

    I love Psych! It is one of the funniest shows on at the moment. My wife and I are in the middle of season 4 at the moment and they get better year after year.

    We also watch Chuck. but it has been going very downhill this season.

    As for Supernatural, if you saw last weeks episode (the one where they end up in the real world "the french mistake" I think was the title) then you know this show is genius!

    I don't watch the rest.
    Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!

    The French Mistake was meta-geek genius :ugeek: :mrgreen::mrgreen:
    Jensen and Jared as Dean and Sam as Jensen and Jared as Dean and Sam trying to act was freakin' priceless - you have to be a very good actor to play a very bad actor and make it convincing. Whoo, that was a mouthful.

    Ben Edlund's episodes are some of the funniest, most genius ones they have produced. I still get the giggles over the Teddy Bear suicide attempt. i really hope they renew it for a seventh season. Idk, but for some reason genre shows seem to have their biggest audiences outside of the US :? :roll: Which makes it a bitch when it comes time for renewal.

    We have a teddy bear in our bed (an aniversary gift from my wife a few years back) and we covered his eyes at the suicide episode :lol:

    Finally watched the French Mistake the other day, really funny stuff. Misha on twitter saying the guys were pranking him. Good stuff.

    I have only heard of Son's of Anarchy but have never seen any of those shows


    I always wondered why Northern Exposure was never essential viewing ... I have the dvd box set and still almost 20 years on from it first being aired love an N.E day on the couch :D

    Fringe is criminally underrated, which is a huge bummer. John Noble is fantastic as Walter.

    i can't get myself to watch this show...bad memories of the whole 'NOT! Psych!...NOT!' conversation game.
    ok, maybe the folks on here are not old enough to have played those stupid games.... :oops: :?
