That show needed to end when it started showing sexual hijinks as the primary concern of interns, residents, and doctors. No. Seriously, no. Sure, some hanky-panky may occur, but trust me, we're not sitting on the floor maundering on about what to do with our lives. We're reading another chart, putting on the game face, and dreaming of uninterrupted sleep. (From my days as a med student -onward, anyway.)

26 TV Shows That Don’t Deserve The Praise They Get, As Pointed Out By Folks In This Online Group The walking dead is something that always baffled me how it went beyond ~2 seasons.

They had the same loop of storyline repeated in every season - they run, they find shelter, they go out for food, someone gets bitten, they get overrun, they have to find somewhere new. Rinse and repeat for like 10 seasons.

I had exactly the same feeling with this show (i.e. the rinse and repeat). It got to the stage where I thought it didn't even need to be a zombie show, it could've just been any generic post apocalypse scenario as the zombies became just an afterthought. I made it to the mid point of season 5 then ended up missing a few episodes. I kept telling myself I'd go back and watch them but as the weeks rolled on and more and more episodes kept building I found that I didn't really care anymore. That to me is when a show is on it's way out, not love or hate for it rather total indifference. Sad really as when it started it was one of my "can't miss" shows.

I find this list puzzling. Of course shows can't appeal to everyone's tastes. And the people who don't gravitate to a popular show will no doubt label it overrated. But I think the sitcom business model is quite simple. If enough people watch the show, Networks will pay! In theory you could perhaps only capture 5-10% of a target audience to have a profitable successful show. Meaning every single show that's ever been created is overrated to a large majority of a target audience.

Perhaps some of these shows went on for too long but I would not say they were bad or overrated. Maybe overhyped.

I agree and, I have to point out Eiichiro Oda is one of these talented writers. No, seriously. One Piece is taking forever, yet it never gets old. Sure, the character design might not be to everyone's taste, but the characters and the plots keep making sense.

A common thread through most of these ares show that beat a dead horse, or actually a cash cow. Its the difference between the British 'The Office" and the US one. Not a huge fan of either one but that's my sense of humor. However, Gervais had ideas for 6 episodes so that's how many he made. There weren't another 17 filler episodes. He came up with another 6, said I've done all I can with this, and moved on. Almost all of these shows ran too long, both within a season and number of seasons, and they didn't have a story to tell anymore so it became 1-dimensional stereotypes of the original characters and no plot.

One of the reasons these shows get so overrated is the marketing. The producers & networks have signed on a bunch of advertisers to get the $ to make the show. So they crank up the media machine & convince the viewing public that "this is the hot new show to watch, everyone's gonna be watching it, so don't get left out".

It takes really talented writers to keep a show interesting when it runs f- o- r- e- v -e- r. Most of those mentioned started out well but slipped into mediocrity for lack of creative writing.
