TV Series you just don't get the hype over (don't post spoilers)

Watching "Breaking Bad", like it, don't think it is the best ever though (I read this a lot), so it got me thinking what are some series you just never got why everyone raved about it after you saw it:

Just never took to "The Wire" Neat concept, just too damn slow

    I watched the first 3 episodes of Breaking Bad and while enjoyable it didn't make me think "I can't wait to watch more". Perhaps I'll watch the rest one day.
    All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    Sunny in Philadelphia. There was too much yelling and screaming and the guys voice drove me nuts.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    When did you watch it? Charlie Sheen made that show. If you watched only after he left, it does suck.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Agreed. I don't think it's funny at all.

    Another one: Family Guy. It can be pretty funny at times, but really not my thing, definitely think its overhyped.

    Lost (dumbest show ever)
    Family Guy
    Every network sitcom
    Every reality show
    True Blood (or any other vampire or sci-fi show)

    I don't watch a lot of TV. Mad Men is the best thing on TV. Nothing else compares (Homeland used to but it sucks now too)

    Also, Always Sunny is great

    Anyone not sold on Breaking Bad needs to give it a bit more time, it is a bit slow to get going but when it hits its stride it's incredible. I watched the first season thought it was ok then didn't watch any more for months until everybody I knew was raving about it so I forced myself to keep going. I just watched the very last episode today, best ending to a series I can remember.

    Great show in the beginning...but is quickly becoming overrated.

    Usually it takes me 3-4 episodes to ditch a show. Found this to be almost unwatchable and made it 1.5 episodes. Awful imho.
