Shows NOT Worth the Hype (10 titles)

Heroes - Series 1 - Part 1

It's been done better so many times before. I mean, how many times can they REALLY save the cheerleader? Mediocre at best, terrible at it's worst.

A bunch of older women sleep around A LOT in a big city. It seems their only goal in life is to find a man to have better sex or to find a man to marry. It seems ridiculous that for four women this is their main ambition in life.

Sopranos, The - Series 1

I'll save you six seasons worth of viewing: a bunch of gangsters kill and threaten people, while having threats put upon them to be killed. Oh, and the boss goes to thearpy. While good, it does not deserve even a top ten rank of best shows ever. Watch The Wire if you want to watch a "classy" tv drama from HBO that stimulates your brain cells.

Everybody Loves Raymond - Series 1

I can't tell you how many pointless repeats I've sat through of this show and no matter what way you look at it Ray Romano is just not funny!

South Park - Season 1

Having cartoons swear doesn't automatically make it funny. The Simpsons were doing it best before they were around, and they'll continue to until well after South Park is off the air.

Prison Break - Season 1 - Part 1

I'll be honest, unlike the rest of the titles I've listed where I've seen a good bulk of the episodes (or in most cases, ALL of the episodes) I could only get through part 1 of season 1. There was just nothing compelling me to see more. Yes, we get it, there are some hot guys on there who are muscley, however muscles do not mean it is a good television show.

ER - Season 13

I put the 13th season on here because in all honesty the first few seasons were very good. Then instead of ending peacfully and with ends tied up at say, oh i don't know, the fifth season, it kept going. And going. And going. And going. And going. And going. And going. It's as though they keep trying to resuscitate it by adding young, good looking cast members and hoping that will suffice as a temporary defibrillator. Well, it doesn't. And bringing back ACTUAL dead cast members doesn't help either, it just reeks of MORE desperation (if that's possible). So besides the random half season that's good these days, ER has definitely been DOA for quite some time.

Desperate Housewives - Season 1

The plot lines twist so much that it leaves you at a point in which you're confused could care less with what happens to whom because you swear it already has! Not to mention it seems to fulfill every bad sterotype about every group of people possible. Once a religious viewer I can no longer bring myself to tune in, or even care about what happens. Definitely NOT worth the hype.

Stargate S.G. 1 - Series 1

It's shows like this that make sci-fi a laughing stock. I tried, I watched multiple seasons. I just ended up, quite literally, laughing my way through most of it (or trying to stifle my snickering at the very least).

Will And Grace - Season 1

The first few seasons were absolutely hilarious. Then you (hopefully) came to your senses and realised they were just recycling materials, and on top of that it was just a horrible stereotypical caricature. And not even a funny one at that. Despite getting a few chuckles out of me now and again I must say that I am quite happy this one finally died of old age.
