    the office (american version)

    curb your enthusiasm - it's just too mean....i like the softer larry when he was george costanza

    king of the hill -can't believe that's still on the air

    everybody loves raymond - no they don't

    king of queens - riding the coattails of raymond doesn't mean your funny

    sex and the city - not funny, never was funny, never will be funny

    Just, not enough.

    frasier was the worst. all the jokes you could see coming from miles away, yet critics praised it for being smart..

    hands down for the most overrated and unfunny sitcoms ever are Frasier, Seinfeld & Friends.
    Sorry...I just don't get.

    As a person of color, you might think that the show is too "white" for me???
    think again, I like a lot of different type of shows that have majority white cast members. i.e. examples of GREAT sitcoms = Every Loves Raymond (it's true, everybody loves Ray Romano), Scrubs, Yes, Dear (I think it's natural for a fellow New Englander to find Mike O'Malloy hilarious), My Name is Earl (who doesn't like Jason Lee?).

    Funny how one mans sweet meat is another's salmonella filled egg. I love '...Raymond', tickles me pink to be honest whenever I see it.
    Friends was ok, til they squeezed the juice right out of the sucker..about series 3 or 4.
    And personally I find Little Britain to be complete rubbish...and to a lesser extent The mighty Boosh. I know that if I was 18 it would make me laugh, but now it just leaves me staring blankly....it's an age thing.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    No Jamie...The Mighty Boosh is complete and utter shit. I don't understand how people can watch it. Mostly I think it's girls who fancy Noel Fielding, who I find to be very irritating, and if I ever met him I would kick him in the balls.

    As tired as I am right now...that still got a chuckle out of me...and I have no idea who Noel Fielding is.

    Everybody Loves Raymond (this show really stinks. The work cliche doesn't even begin to describe this situational comedy)
    South Park (I find some of it pretty funny, but just doesn't live up to the hype)
    Simpsons (only last 7-8 years. The first 5-6 seasons were HILARIOUS)

    I can see why there are so many Seinfeld haters, but seasons 6-9 were AWESOME.
    Friends is probably my all time favorite show. Just plain brilliant IMO. Any doubters should see "The One With Ross's Sandwich" Best friends episode ever.

    All of them. Like Chistmas Carols, tv sucks. Read a book!

    Animals were hiding behind the Coral 
    Except for little Turtle
    I could swear he's trying to talk to me

    I could start a "Books that are supposed to be classics but are actually complete shite" thread, but it wouldn't last very long. ;)

    That would take a long time to read, then discuss, were all to participate.
