Most Underrated Show on TV

[Crewbasher]

Just wondering which show you all felt didn't get enough respect (either from poor reviews, or no one watching it). Only one stipulation: the show must still be on the air (so no TV Land shows).

My personal choice is Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic (Thurs. 10 PM & 10:30 PM). It features Randy and Jason Sklar (the twin comedians) who rip on old ESPN and ABC sports broadcasts, usually the lesser sporting events (like Roller Derby and the National Spelling Bee). Just think of it as a cross between Wide World of Sports and Mystery Science Theater 3000. Even my sisters who aren't into sports laugh their asses off (of course, those of us who get the sports references laugh even more - just look at the "depth chart" in the opening credits... it's always the same, but my dad laughs at it every time).
All in all, it's a great show, and highly worth watching. If only they were longer than 30 minutes each....

Seeing as this IS Bigsoccer, let's disqualify Arrested Development for now. We know it's underrated, no need to mention it in every post.

OT: i went to the same synagogue as randy and jason in st. louis county - they are much funnier in person than i have ever seen them be on TV - they also had a top notch bar mitzvah party


judging from the ratings, scrubs has been vastly underappreciated for 3 seasons - i also feel that 70's show got back to top form last year after a few bum seasons

Fridays was great too.

At least AD got three seasons and tongue bathing from every TV critic.

Neither Wonderfalls nor Greg the Bunny got a whole season.
