To be fair though, the set up for the show allows it to be considered a mini-series. If it were considered a regular drama I don't think it would get any award attention save for Jessica Lange.

(Side annoyance: I may be in the minority on this, but I can't stand the Michonne character and don't understand all the love she gets. I never read the comics, so maybe her character is different in them, but on the show, IMO, she comes off like a cardboard cutout of a generic loner character)

I always planned to check it out, but any commercial for it with Sophia V... has kept me away. I don't think I could take a whole episode of her. Watching her on SNL was hard enough. Does she yell every time she speaks?

Modern Family is pretty damn funny, especially when compared against other network comedies. The thing that never made sense to me about it was ABC plays it like it is a "family" comedy. Generally speaking, it is not (but it is a comedy, about families) but that didn't stop them from pairing it up with actual family shows like The Neighbors (all-around weak), Suburgatory (pretty decent) and The Middle (love the cast, but not particularly funny).

I think MAD MEN is pretty overrated. Don't get me wrong, the actors are great and the episodes are well-directed, but I find none of them particularly 'rewatchable'. It's a good show, but I've never thought it was a great one.

Re: Most overrrated show currently on TV?
I stopped watching the Walking Dead about 4 episodes ago because I just didn't know why I kept watching. I hear friends talk about how great it is, but man, I gave that show every chance in the world, and I don't see it. It just slogs through plot points. It's also a show that pretends to takes itself seriously and be realistic, but then ignores logic whenever it is plot convenient. That's infuriating to me.
And please don't say "how does a show about zombies claim to be realistic?" You know what I mean.

Newsroom. Pompous self-importance doesn't begin to cover it. Homeland and some of the others in the poll are definitely overrated, but at least they are watchable. Newsroom is not.
