I think "The Closer" is a show that gets its due and its viewers. Does anyone else here agree with tvfan300 that "The Closer" is underrated?

I think The Closer get plenty of credit for what it does.

Where as NCIS is always dismissed despite getting 13-15 million per week.

For being the CW's highest rated show to air last year on Sunday or Monday at to do it at 7:30 no less against football and against lower HUT levels, I'd say Reba is pretty darn underrated. Much better than any of the Monday comedies.

Completely agree.

Of the shows in the current poll, I only ever really watched Reba consistently, and I think it's one of the most underrated comedies of all-time.

No OTH ? And Supernatural is out? i guess I'm going for Reba...

Both get a lot of press with average ratings. Reba got better numbers despite airing in the death trap of Sunday at 7:30. I'd say it is more deserving of kudos, but I do like OTH too. Guilty pleasure I guess.

Two very well performing, yet underrated series in the finals.

Had to go with BONES though. NCIS is starting to get the recognition it deserves.

I go with NCIS. It's viewership almost doubles that of Bones, and I guarantee you it doesn't get twice the attention.

But Bones gets almost no attention or pub., so anything NCIS gets is "Double" what Bones gets.

That's exactly right! NCIS is in its billionth season with humongous ratings - what's it doing in the "underrated" series anyway? Does anyone really think this show deserves MORE than 17 million viewers?

See, this showdown is exactly what I was asking about at the beginning of this thread.

NCIS is a show that "should" get more media attention/buzz based on its huge viewer numbers.
Bones is a show that "should" get more viewers based on the amount of media attention/positive buzz surrounding it.

It all depends on how you define underrated. I'm going with Bones, because I've never even seen NCIS, and I think Bones is good enough that it should get more viewers. But maybe that means I myself am guilty of "underrating" NCIS.
