Overrated! Underrated!

Overrated. People go all gooey about exploration, human destiny, and Deep Space 9 the Original Next Generation Series. But when you get down to it, space is big, boring, cold, and there’s no place to stop for a hamburger. It’s like a really bad camping trip.

Next topic: Jenny McCarthy.

If even ONE person likes Jenny McCarthy, that’s too many. Overrated.
Try again: The Toyota Prius

Overrated. I don’t get the hype about all these hybrid electric thingies.
Manhattan (movie by Woody Allen)

The Toyota Prius wears too much makeup?

Prius: Underrated. It’s a pretty good car for everyday driving

Manhattan: Underrated. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but i remember liking it. I think Woody Allen’s movies are underrated in general.

New topic: Punk Rock.

Punk Rock: Overrated

One of the most shining exponents of Sturgeon’s Principle.

Threesomes.

Overrated. Too much distraction.

Next up: Twinkies

Overrated. They “never stale” because they taste stale the day they’re put on the shelf

Next: Parenthood (not the show or the movie, the, y’know, being a parent thing)

Underrated: If you do it right, it rewards you for the rest of your life.

Gourmet toppings on pizza

Gourmet toppings on pizza: Overrated

Definitely overrated! What’s wrong with an honest pizza margherita with some extra pepperoni and mushrooms??

The Concorde SST

Overrated - it was

  1. A money loser
  2. Noisy as hell- I got to hear it constantly in the summer of 1979 when I was a parking lot attendant at Rockaway Beach, not far from JFK airport. I swear, you could hear it coming miles away
  3. Not THAT much faster getting you across the Alantic than other planes

Microbrewed beers**

**Microbrewed beers **

Overrated. Moonshine for me.

Hot Dogs

Underrated.

So much yummy tastiness can travel with the humble hotdog, what with the variety of meat, toppings, and buns.

Ronald Reagan

Overrated. One of my ex-employers was a big fan and thought he did everything but walk on water.

Netflix

Way overrated- terrible choice of movies for the money
**
Women’s Basketball**

Underrated.

I’ve seen awesome college games, and while not as popular as their heavily promoted male counterparts, teams like UConn, Baylor, and Tennessee can put on quite a show.

New: Saturn (the planet not the car)

Underrated.

Have you seen the pictures from Cassini? It’s marvelous.

Natalie Portman

Overrated. Beautiful, but a boring actress (and no, Black Swan didn’t change my mind in the least). She was a much better actress as a kid in The Professional than she is now.
Mumford and Sons

Overrated, but I’m glad of it. They’re drawing attention to one of my favorite styles of music, which is bringing increased concert bookings for other bands that do it at least as well, if not better, and which also consist of friends of mine. :smiley:

Yankee Candles

Overrated. Why can’t a house just not smell? Not smell at all, meaning neither good or bad?
Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Overrated. That song has got to go and is no fun at all. Then again, I don’t like baseball.

Mine:

John Oliver
