This is either a sad statement on the quality of tv comedy or the taste of people who answer these polls.

The latter, hence overrated

 Seinfeld. Tried it several times, over different seasons, and just could not understand the addoration. I understood that the characters were not supposed to be likeable, but the whole thing did nothing for me.

It was a show about nothing . The fours main characters were a bunch of not very noice, selfish, thoughtless stuck ups who never learned from their mistakes .

Doctor Who (at least for the last decade or two). Every story is fundamentally the same. A creature threatens the World. Everything looks bleak. Then the Doctor spouts some pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo, waves his sonic screwdriver around and reconfigures the TARDIS, and everything is suddenly ok again. Boring.

It's a bit like a crime novel where the writer introduces a new character right at the end. Cheating really.

Freinds. Never understood the popularity of that show. But then most American sit coms leave me cold.

I love Seinfeld though admittedly watching it now, a lot of the humor has not aged well and with political correctness more amok, it certainly is a show that could never be produced nowadays.

I agree that Friends is highly overrated (though my wife would vehemently disagree).

As a practicing physician, I always found most medical dramas eye-rolling (especially ER). As an aside, the show that best portrays modern medicine accurately is Scrubs. Seriously.

With its shallow and vacuous characters.
