Underrated TV Shows

There are definitely a lot of shows out there that don't get enough credit or never got the credit that was due to them in the past. So think of some shows that you think are just amazing, but are never talked about or given praise.

The King of Queens - I think is the funniest sitcom that I have ever seen, I DVR that shit everyday

Late NIght with Conan O'Brien - Funniest talk show on air, Conan is hilarious and doesn't get near enough credit

true but it's in the same block as 30 rock on thursday nights, and that show is about to get canned just like arrested development did, which would be sad. it's fucking hilarious if only for alec baldwin.

here's my list though, and i think it's comprehensive:

sons and sunny in philly on fx for sure

super jail, squidbillies, and venture bros. on adult swim (all amaaaazing)

top gear and trailer park boys (i know they're huge in their home countries, but in the states they dont get any love really)

true life on MTV cause it's almost always a glorious trainwreck of human stupidity

yah supposedly their ratings are shitty, which is why they launched this stupid idea of having a special guest star on every episode this season. i swear to god this country never respects good television...south park has somehow lasted over a decade, thank god, but everything else seems to die so fast. why does 30 rock have to crash and burn when desperate housewives is allowed to go on living?

depends on where you are, in the US, yes it is. No one knows what it is around here. And the american version i think is going to be terrible, how you can they give a company like ford a terrible review, then go to commercial, and have a ford commercial? It just won't work, plus i think not having Clarkson, Hammond, May, and the real stig will just not be nearly as funny. Anywhere else in the world, everyone seems to love it. I have yet to find a person who can honestly say they hate that show.

30 days is an excellent show too, but no one watches it

Dexter. It's the best, most thrilling show ever. Although season 3 is not as good as the previous ones, it's still a good watch. On showcase every sunday night.

I'd bet almost everyone will love it, it is twisted, gory, scary, yet so damn awesome. Start with season 1 though. It's basically about a forensics cop who is a serial killer and tries to lead a normal life. So much better than all the bullshit crime shows a la CSI or Law and Order.

I have season 1 on my comp and am stoked for season 2, although it's taking a long time, definitely underrated.
