    Best way not to get something overrated. “Don’t believe the hype”. If you have high expectations on something, it will inevitably let you down. I felt that way about “Goodfellas”. Everyone I talked to seemed to think it was the best mob movie ever made. I grew up with the Godfathers, and loved them(yes, even part III), and heard that Goodfellas was better on so many levels. I finally saw it in my late 20’s(yeah it took me awhile), and thought “mehhhh”. Not horrible, but not the amazing thing that everyone else had made it out to be.
    Realize that people are going to fixate on things that they love, and that thing might not be for you. If you have lower standards you might like it more.
    And yes, I did like “Shaun of the Dead”. not the greatest thing, but enjoyable. Best way to do satire is to find something you love and tweak it, and I think they did that. Of course I saw it before the hype, so maybe that colored my expectations of it.
    And p.s. Adam doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to the Beatles.

    I really like TNT, but yes they are indeed overrated like most bands who get annointed royalty after one album. Another addition to overrated: Pulp Fiction (way too much hype before I saw it. Good movie, not superior to all.

    Fab Show guys! I agree with Adam about the Beatles and the American Beauty. WOW Shane is kinda right Adam does grow on ya.

    I do have to disagree that Earl is overrated. Earl was just born during the wrong decade or so. If he would have been born about 5-7 years earlier I think he would have given Gary Coleman a run for his money.

    Jared’s humor and timing is AWESOME! I may need to go back and listen to a few show to see what I missed from the understated Jared.

    Shane, oh poor Shane….. 🙁 hope your feeling better.

    How can the Beatles be overrated? Name another band who released as many #1 singles, #1 albums, in as short a time that completely changed the face of popular music? Led Zeppelin? Nope. Nirvana? uh-uh. The Rolling Stones? Maybe for longevity, but in an 8 year period they didn’t even compare with the Beatles output. 13 albums in 8 years. All of which have stood the test of time? Sorry guys. The Beatles are many things, but overrated isn’t one of them.
    I can understand that you might not like The Beatles sound(music is subjective), but how can you say they are overrated? Impossible I tell you. Impossible.

    Shane, you’re crazy. ‘Shuan Of The Dead’ cannot be praised enough. You just mad becasue it’s 100 times better than the ‘Dawn’ remake or ’28 Days Later’ (Sandra Bullock wasn’t even in the sequal here!)

    Overrated: Adam doing anything…

    A little late, but Kate Winslet has never won an Oscar. Sorry, boyz, but you were wrong.
