I feel Seinfeld is very overrated, same with Frasier and the last two, as well as Are you Being Served, though the rest are some of the best shows ever made in their genre, I must agree, though I feel Band of Brothers is still the best tv series to have existed thus far.

Haven't seen it but it is no doubt awesome.

I feel I have to speak up for Seinfeld though. It is absolutely not overrated. In fact, the only people who say it is unfunny are people who don't *get it*. I don't mean to be so elitist to suggest that it is too sophisticated for you or anything, but if you were truly giving it a chance (being completely unbiased and ignoring the Seinfeld is Unfunny effect) then you will be able to appreciate the extremely nuanced performances (except for Julia-Louis Dreyfus who is good but not great) and the great ironies in the show. Honestly, I think it is much more than the trendy sitcom it ostensibly is: it's a study of people (rivaled only perhaps by George Carlin's musings) and a fascinating example of a show that draws almost all of its humor from irony. The people that don't enjoy it are people that hear "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" and "The jerkstore called, they're running out of YOU!" and take them literally.

I agree Frasier is unbearably bad at times though; I just love Kelsey Grammer and I find the show to be so involving I gladly ignore the occasional bad jokes (although most of them are fairly obvious).

EDIT: Have you watched every episode up to and including the finale? Because I am quite passionate about the show, having watched every episode at least three times and I have a lot to say if you want to discuss it in more detail.
