NFT: Underrated comedy shows past and present

DanMetroMan : 1/29/2015 9:22 am
- Arli$$, I think I'm in the minority here but I always thought this show was pretty funny. Sort of surprised nobody has attempted a reboot or even bringing the show back given how sports finances and coverage have blown up. Wuhl also has 2 funny specials on HBO where he teaches NYU history classes. HBO has a sports related comedy starring the Rock coming on soon but it sounds closer to Entourage with sports.


- Life & Times of Tim- Really funny off-beat cartoon. More of a cult thing but everyone I know who watched it enjoyed it.


-Clark and Michael (this was a web series but Clark and Michael starred Clark Duke from The Office and Hot Tub Time Machine and Michael Cera and it was very funny)

-Not underrated but for me the funniest show on television right now is "Broad City"

What else ya got?

See my 1:09. I thought Everybody Loves Raymond was a top show in 2000-2001 and same with King of Queens. I started watching KOQ about a month after it was done. I turned it on when I was staying in a hotel in Baltimore and found it funny and have been a fan ever since. It was the episode where Doug gets pissy with Deacon because he's always banging his wife on the apple cider trip. I thought for a comedy show, up against most, KOQ had one of the better endings that you could ask for. I thought it was good. I never got into Everybody Loves Raymond. I was in my senior year of high school when it ended in 2005. Didn't connect at all with the humor. I liked that he was a Giants writer or something.

LOL I remember that one they kept playing Marvin Gaye's Lets get it on haha. KOQ was just a well done show, I still watch reruns of it when I see it and it still holds up.

How are King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond underrated?


Depends on what were using to rate them. King of Queens was only nominated for 1 Emmy in 9 seasons (Kevin James in '05 and lost).
OTOH, ratings wise it never broke the top 20 but often won its time slot. It is an absolutely hilarious show although the last season was probably its worse.

Jerry Stiller is much funnier in KOQ than Seinfeld.

"Douglas you ok? I heard screaming like a bitch." LMAO
Best underrated PAST comedy show ... bar none ...

Has a cult following that for a long time was only enhanced by its unavailability. It cost so much to license all the music that it didn't come out as an official DVD release until 2012. 6 seasons but only one in the top 10 and that was 9. No major awards. But I will stop whatever I'm doing to watch that show.

Some great answers on this thread, The Critic and Space Ghost are All Timers.
