Community! How has no one mentioned Community?
Jersey Shore. Nobody seems to like it but its fuckin awesome
Everybody loves it. It's not underrated, critically or otherwise. It is one of the most popular shows on television.
It's certainly not critically underrated, but it's no where near the most popular show on television. I was on hiatus and in danger of being cancelled until the internet had a collective seizure over it. The ratings for the show had been pretty bad.
Mr. Show with Bob & David
I've been watching the 4 seasons of it constantly since 8th grade. I really wish they had made more.
The internet seizure occurred during a planned hiatus, to make room for the cast and crew's other commitments. NBC never had any intention, whatsoever, of cancelling the show mid-season. The ratings have been solid throughout the entire season, ranging from just under 5 million to almost 8 million viewers. When I said "it is one of the most popular shows on television," however, I wasn't referring to statistics. Community is one of the most popular shows on television among people with taste; I exclude the Jersey Shore demographic from my observations, just as I excuse the opinions of weasels and vampire bats.
As for not owning TV and not having access to shows, I haven't watched a televised program for at least five years. My aerial is not plugged in. Even if you don't have cable, or a TV, there is still Community. For people who are capable of opening boxes of cereal without observing the instructional "open here" diagrams, non-weasels, non-vampire bats, and people who own either a computer or a television: there really is no excuse.

i don't think mr. show is under-rated at all. i would say the general consensus is that it was surreal, intelligent, laugh-out-loud, inventive, incredible comedy.Mr. Show with Bob & David

underexposed? sure. under-rated? definitely not.

you've got to be joking?The Wire - Probably one of my favorite shows but never got the respect it deserved.
sometimes, you make something even greater by killing it off after only a couple of seasons at the height of its greatness instead of letting it limp on for 10, 11, 12 seasons...
