I'm just curious.
For underrated, it's hard to tell, but maybe MST3K but that has a huge following at this point that it was revised, so probably not. I don't know then. I'll tell you later maybe.
For overrated:
Friends- Good show, but I've never understood the hype and all the fans who claim to be the best show ever or even sitcom. Maybe it's because I grew up with Seinfeld and enjoyed that show way more. I've always felt it pales in comparison.
SNL- I know people tend to have a love/hate relationship. I enjoy the show, but it was too hit and miss for me. I'll never understand why it's considered the top 10 TV shows or even sketch shows. In terms of that, I much prefer Chappelle's Show (ironically since he hosted not too long ago), Monty Python, Kids in the Hall, In Living Color, etc.

Underrated - imo would be Carnivale . It only lasted 2 seasons on HBO and then got the axe . Those 2 seasons though featured some great acting & direction . I guess I can understand why a lot of folks didn't tune in. It was a very very dark show featuring dirty carny people haha. But I loved it.

Underrated
Berlin Alexanderplatz - 9.5/10
- not so much underrated as it is underseen. It is great and keeps getting better. The more relatively "boring" episodes are given more weight by the end. Great stuff.
Minuscule - 9/10
- each episode is basically a short film, all pretty good and fun as well.
Overrated
Firefly - 6.5/10
- I am glad it was canceled so that the show could end with some dignity... too bad Joss Whedon followed it with the lame film, Serenity. There are some genuinely good episodes but also some bad ones. The characters are either pretty good or are pretty bad. Nothing realistic about its premise so stop saying that it is. The constant Confederate allegories are also sort of weird. Definitely on the good spectrum but stop pretending it's anything incredible. It isn't.
Legend of Korra - 3/10
- a crappy follow-up to Avatar: The Last Airbender with a terrible protagonist, terrible supporting characters, awful comedy, awful fan service, awful romance, and so much retconning that it is hard to take it to be actual canon with its predecessor.

Overrated: House of Cards, definitively. It's trash.
Underrated: Rectify should be ranked as one of the greatest shows ever.

Underrated: Luck
No one ever talks about it and it's one season which started shaky but ended strong (especially the finale) with the only great Dustin Hoffman performance of the last 30 years.
Also Everybody Loves Raymond is way more subversive and dark than most people think, it road that thing to mass popularity while touching on some dark stuff if you watched close (sibling rivalry, parental issues, never really growing up, etc.)
Overrated: House of Cards

I would have to add The Wire to the overrated list. It's in my top 20 but I wouldn't put it in my top 10 like a lot of people do and I thought after season 3, it got boring.

Overrated:
Game of Thrones
Underrated:
Enlightened. The fact that one of the best tv shows of the current decade featuring one of the best lead performances of all-time so rarely gets mentioned is a god damn crime.
