The most overrated show in the history of television award would definitely go to:
Game Of Thrones (fight me if you disagree haha)
I won't fight you but I do disagree.
Friends and Breaking Bad are personally for me two of the most overrated shows in television history.
Peace, Love, and Soul
I disagree with you too :)
Friends is the greatest sitcom of all time (TBBT is much more overrated IMHO)
Breaking Bad is definitely overrated - compared to Sopranos, it's like Sesame Street (Sorry, Not sorry) - and a run of the mill episode like Ozymandias does not deserve the crazy praise it has amongst audiences and critics - a 10 on IMDb???? i can name 100 episodes of LOST that are WAY better than that (don't get me wrong, i like the episode, but it wasn't groundbreaking in the slightest, nothing new at all and very predictable)
However,.....
Breaking Bad is at least consistent - Game of Thrones on the other hand is really NOT
10 episodes a year for 6 years and only a handful of episode that were worthy of the praise and hype - heck even The Red Wedding episode wasn't that good for the first 45 minutes - 1/4 of good does not equate to a 10/10 episode
My opinion on GoT is very controversial because of the sheer number of fans the show has that think that every episode develops characters when it's just talky-talky mumbo-jumbo masquerading as character development
too many characters, too complex, too many storylines going on, relies on shock value, boring for the most part, and cheesy at times (and not the good cheese)
10/10 show for the majority of audiences and i would on.y give it a 6/10 (may even be less after it is over)
GoT is the epitome of overrated to me

Peace, Love, and Soul share
Just be warned, My list is gonna be somewhat long.
Lost
Greek
Heores (even though I found the show to be highly frustrating, especially the last season, I still really liked it.)
Drop Dead Diva (Love this show, but I 100% hate what they did to Owen in the last couple of seasons.)
How I Met Your Mother (This is one of those shows I wish I didn't love.)
Friends
The Nanny
Young and Hungry
Broadchurch
Doctor Who
Skin Wars
Basically any show that was airing on Disney and a few on Nickelodeon from about 1995 to 2003-ish. (Shows like Lizzie McGuire, That's so Raven, So Weird, The Amanda Show)
I also figured I'd add some that I haven't finished yet, but really like based on what I have seen so far:
Chuck (stupid Netflix taking it off before I could finish it.)
Psych (See Chuck)
Merlin
Supernatural (Although the further into the show I get, I can't help but wish the later seasons were more like season 1, where there was still a season arc of sorts, but it was also a lot of MOTW episodes)
Buffy (However I'm in the middle of season 6 right now, and I really don't like season 6 much so far.)
Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.
What's your favorite season of Buffy? I appreciate season 6 more on rewatches than I did initially so you aren't alone.
"When life gives you lemons"
Jessica D: sleep with their fathers and have secret lemon children
I actually really like season 5 even though I wasn't expecting to cause I'd heard it was kinda sketchy and I also really like season 3. What is your favorite season?
Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.
Season 5 is my favorite! I think it's very underrated because I usually hear that 2 and 3 are the best. The angelus arc in season 2 is great but the quality of every episode doesn't compare to the quality in season 5. The Body and the weight of the world are two of my all time favorite episodes along with Earshot from season 3 and Hush from season 4. I'm also in the minority of Buffy fans because I adore season 1. It's pure nostalgia, monster of the week/90s horror film goodness.
"When life gives you lemons"
Jessica D: sleep with their fathers and have secret lemon children
I liked them all, but season 4 wasn't my favorite.
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open.
This is my fight song.
I love Earshot!! That and Band Candy are my favorite season 3 episodes. I totally agree about season 5. It was a quality season and The Body is such a great episode and it's so heartbreaking.
Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.
Ted from season 2 is another favorite. Band Candy is so funny and I love when Buffy finds out that GIles slept with Joyce.
"When life gives you lemons"
Jessica D: sleep with their fathers and have secret lemon children
Not just once, but twice. On a police car! Lol! Passion is another favorite episode of mine. I really like Jennie and thought it was so sad when she died.
Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.
Buffy is my favourite show and i hate critiquing it but i honestly don't get why season 2 is occasionally top of so many best season lists
I love every season of Buffy (yes, even season 1) so this is hard for me to say
But season 2 had an average first half that includes episodes that are usually on peoples worst episodes lists (Some Assembly Required, Inca Mummy Girl, Reptile Boy) and took it's time to get into the main season arc (Angelus)
Yes it does have some of the series' best episodes
School Hard
What's My Line
Surprise/Innocence
Passion (WOW what a f'n episode)
Becoming
but it also had some stinkers (Go Fish anyone???? even a young Wentworth Miller couldn't save that 'foulness')
Season 3 and 5 are my favourite seasons - honestly don't understand the hate for season 5 - it is absolutely spectacular television IMHO
Season 6 had a good reason why it was lacking and that is because Joss wasn't the showrunner - also it was a lot darker and some fans didn't like it (even though they loved season 2 - yeah that makes sense)
Without season 6 we would not have the best episode of Buffy 'Once More, With Feeling' - also the Dark Willow stuff is again, spectacular television IMHO
ditto for season 4 (Hush)
Agreed, you listed some amazing season 2 episodes and School Hard is so great. I think some people just really love the Angelus arc so they only rank the season so highly based on those particular episodes. Season 5 is just amazing. I've never felt so emotionally connected to a season before in my life and I was rewatching it on TV during the Thanksgiving Break and I still tear up during The Gift. I remember being a child and seeing the previews and being sad over the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer commercials. Season 3 is also amazing and the MOW episodes didn't distract from the overall arc of the season and of course Faith is a great addition.

I tear up at The Body and The Gift without fail (The Scooby Gang's reactions to Buffy's dead body)
I loved so much of season 5 that fans seemed to hate - like the Riley stuff and the Joyce stuff earlier on before The Body - i absolutely LOVE 'Listening To Fear' and it always seems to be on people's list of 'episodes i tend to skip' - i also love 'Into The Woods' - Another episode not really loved
I loved so much of season 3 - yeah there were some 'duds' in there like Anne and Gingerbread, but every Faith central episode was great, Band Candy, The Wish, Amends, Enemies, Earshot, The Prom - i also have an undying love for Dead Man's Party and Beauty and the Beasts - which seem to be relatively disliked (both episodes are lower on IMDb than Anne for god sake)
Buffy's low score on this site (8.2) really boils my piss haha
I actually really like Oonce More With Feeling and I like the next episode after it, Tabula Rasa, cause I thought it was funny how Giles and Anya thought they were engaged and Spike thought he was named Randy and that he was Giles son.
Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.
Spike thought he was named Randy and that he was Giles son.
Interesting foreshadowing from the season 4 finale 'Restless' where Buffy dreams that Spike is Giles' son and is training to become a watcher

I'm into Westworld and AHS right now.
There are just too many for me to list right now, old and new.
So what else is new?
PLL isn't my favourite show, but I like it. Other than that I enjoy a lot of crime shows (like NCIS (including the spinoffs), Bones, CSI, Rizzoli & Isles to name a few), sitcoms (like Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls, Last Man Standing to name a few) or more horror/supernatual shows like American Horror Story or The Walking Dead and cartoons like Ninja Turtles (the old one), Simpsons and South Park.
