re: What's the most overrated thing you can think of?

I don't know if you'd call it overrated–maybe "sucks" is more appropriate–but cable TV is on my shite list. I get maybe 500 channels, 480 of which are shopping networks. And from what I gather from channel surfing, today's programming is a dung stew of inane sitcoms, cop shows and the King of Crap, reality shows. Fortunately I spend much of my free time playing guitar, writing songs and reading. TV provides no competition at all for my attention.
