Shows aren't over or under rated. Their ratings are based on the number of people watching.

The Wire is the most realistic police drama ever made. There's nothing corny about it.

SNL was great when it first started and during the late 80's - early 90's, with MASSIVE amounts of **** in-between and after.

M*A*S*H is the correct answer, kids.

South Park is legit one of my favorite shows ever, but it's kind of lost it's way with being political and/or topical nearly every single episode. I want more of Cartman nearly killing Butters to get to Casa Bonita, Randy Marsh starting fights at his son's baseball games and Towelie getting an intervention.

"Season three is, in part, a sustained allegory for (and argument against) the Iraq War, to the point where the finale’s ironic title is “Mission Accomplished.” The comparisons between the “war on drugs” and the Iraq War are valid, up to a point—both are pointless, requiring engagement with a populace that has no interested in overbearing American troops—but the comparison still falls flat. Both are serious issues, but only one was started on a series of elaborate lies rather than a fundamentally wrongheaded approach to a serious policy problem (you know what I mean). The comparison is occasionally instructive, but often it’s more indicative of what was going on in David Simon’s head at the moment. And it helps date the show in a way that not even pagers could."

Agreed.

South Park was fantastic front to back this season. I love the continuity they have been introducing over the last few years.

The entire PC thing was something they obviously took personally and wanted to sound off on emphatically. Not surprising and I can't blame them.

They did a great job with it.

Also - anyone who is of sound mind understands that Big Bang Theory or any other show that Chuck Lorre creates are not actually "television shows" in the conventional sense of the description. They're a combination of videos and sounds sent to your television with the intent to make you a stupid.....not to entertain you. Many have tried to emulate Chuck's ruse but none have matched his effectiveness to date.

If you enjoy Chuck Lorre's work and don't want to be a stupid, dig up the thread where that show was discussed and begin your recovery.

I watched it enough to know I hated it. Didn't it end up being all just a bad dream, and none of those douchy characters were actually real TV characters?

I will duck as well, Treetop. I liked MASH also. It might have ran a season or two too long but the comedy intermingled with drama was groundbreaking.
