    Default Underrated TV shows.

    Title says it all. What are some TV shows you feel are underrated? The kind of shows you wish that other people watched so you could select it as a topic for forced workplace chatter.

    So far my number one underrated program is the Drew Carey Show. I think it's the best "average life" series out there.

    Anyways, what are some underrated shows you'd recommend?

    Community. Its smart and funny. It has its own style of comedy and is just generally hilarious. Its new so maybe the word just hasn't spread but its not even in the top 3 new shows by viewers and it should be.

    (I'm not saying it's good, I'm just saying it's pretty highly underrated)

    I don't know man. USA plays an ad for it at least once every commercial break and according to them everyone's watching the show.

    This. It's fucking awesome and the last episode made me laugh more than any sitcom of the last two years.

    Also:

    Parks & Recreation
    Undeclared
    The Life and Times of Tim
    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (I know literally no-one in real life who watches it)

    Yeah, The Drew Carey Show was amazing until the last season when the original cast left and it got really weird.

    Bones is another show I love that's highly underrated. The storylines feel a bit repetitive but the characters are what make the show worth watching anyway.

    Also Arrested Development was probably the most underrated show in history (thanks Fox)

    I don't know why I didn't mention Arrested Development. I watched every episode in the last few days. It's a perfect television show in practically every way.

    I never really considered Arrested Development to be underrated, because pretty much everyone who knows about it loves it, it just never got good airtime and fuck Fox. For those who do know, it's always (fairly) rated really highly.

    It was the most watched documentary series of the year if I'm not mistaken.

    I actually felt guilty for laughing at this show once. Mac's ego was hurt because his old coach molested other kids but not him. It was horrible but so fucking funny.

    Season 1 and 2 for Sunny were the best. Now it's kind of... a live action cartoon. Very over the top. I can see why people still love it, but it has lost its appeal for me.

    Definitely agreed.

    Also Da Ali G Show. That show was always hilarious except for his gay Bruno character (meant in every possible way).

    Entourage possibly as well? I don't know about in other places, but it doesn't at all seem to be popular to anyone around here that I talk to.

    Found a great show that I wouldn't have found if it wasnt for recommendation from the Internets. Better Off Ted, don't even know what channel its on but great show!

    Better Off Ted is pretty damn funny. It was on ABC, but it was too clever and on a shitty night so it is probably not going to get a third season, unfortunately.

    I agree with Atmosfear about Burn Notice, and throw Psych in with it.

    Also, Smallville seasons 8 and 9 have been really good, but I wouldn't waste my time with any of the other seasons, with the exceptions of the first one and maybe the seventh one (but mainly just to give season 8 some context).

    Kitchen Confidential, it was on Fox for one season back in 05. But damn it was funny.

    Had the show come out last year, it probably would have been a huge hit. It was before it's time.

    The Tick, too. SO funny.

    Also, Sailor Moon. Fucking greatest show evah.

    obviously. but its still possible he could pitch an idea for one but probably have no part in it otherwise.

    or maybe a mini series.

    I've been watching Dr. Katz all day. It is indeed awesome.

    Also Home Movies, especially the episode with the rock opera based on Kafka's Metamorphasis.
