Underrated Shows

I like Psych as does my partner, Squirts MacIntosh.

On the same lines I'm also sad Journeyman was killed off. I really wanted to see where that story was going to go. And Kevin McKidd is just phenomonal also. He was outstanding in Rome, and really had an interesting and complicated character on Journeyman. I think his talents are being wasted on Greys Anatomy, but I'm biased against shows like that anyways, so YMMV.

Oh yea! I liked Journeyman too. I wish we could have seen the show and character develop further.

P.S. - I realized after I posted yesterday that Mark Feuerstein from Royal Pains is a West Wing alum also. That's three former West Wing alums that are leads on shows on USA (Mary McCormack, Dule Hill, and Mark Feuerstein), and at least two that I know of that have guested on USA shows (Richard Schiff on In Plain Sight, and Bradley Whitford on Monk). Pretty cool.

As a HUGE West Wing fan, I approve this message. Probably my favorite TV show of all time.

Another vote for Burn Notice. I still think it's underrated, though it has gotten pretty good ratings now.

I never thought of Chuck as underrated, but it's also a great show.

Hmm...most of the rest of what I watch is History, Nat Geo, or otherwise probably out of the realm of "is it underrated?"

Just another bandwagon vote for Burn Notice, Leverage, In Plain Sight, and of course Chuck. I wasn't impressed by White Collar at the start, but I came back to it and found it interesting.

My wife enjoys Royal Pains, but it bugs the heck out of me.

And then there is my horribly guilty pleasure that may or may not count as underrated: Glee. Critics seem to love it, and Fox hypes it like mad, but the ratings have not been all that great.

Caprica has surprised me, and I think Human Target doesn't seem to get the press it merits either.

In the UK, I think "Being Human" may come into this category. There is this werewolf, this vampire and this ghost sharing a flat...

Being Human (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

@Megaton: My wife and I like In Plain Sight also. You're right, it has a great mix of drama and action, and a good bit of humor between the leads too. And Mary McCormack is a West Wing alum also (just like Dule Hill). They even had Richard Schiff (Toby Ziegler) from the West Wing on the show once.

Ya, USA is on an absolute roll with shows, big fan everything they put on. I saw that Allison Janney is going to guest on this season of IPS, so they're pushing the West Wing connections even further...

I am secretly a Glee fan too.

There are times when the songs move me, and these kids REALLY do perform this stuff (though it's lip-synced for the show). They are really talented.

Been a fan of Psych, Burn Notice and In Plain Sight from their first episodes. The first 2 are especially strong in the casting and scripting departments.

I enjoyed Primeval while it was on, ditto Being Human and Sea of Souls. Survivors is first rate. I've been taping, but haven't yet watched, Apparitions. What is going on across the pond, you guys? All this good sci-fi/thriller stuff coming out of Great Britain is amazing me since we are having such a tough time getting quality stuff out of our locals.
