Underrated TV Shows.

If the pilot gave people such "great hope", how come they didn't stick around for at least a couple more shows after that one? The steep drop happened right after the pilot. Methinks the pilot didn't give a lot of people "great hope".
That said, I wish it hadn't been canceled. I loved Season 3, and Season 4 was well done (with some pockets of mediocrity). I was looking forward to the latter seasons... looking forward to the formation of the Federation. Oh well.
UPN highest ratings ever was the pilot of Voyager that scored around 26 million I think and ended up 5-6 million by the end. Enterprise had big issues but improved vastly over the final 2 years and I still feel if kept on wednesday nights that the 4th season could of done decent work and saved the show for at least one more year.
Yeah, that Friday night slot was a disaster. They move all soon-to-be-canceled shows to that slot, don't they? Haven't they moved Supernatural there?
Funny, though, the X-Files did great in that slot. And then it moved to Sunday nights. But TXF is another story altogether.
And yes, DS9 never got the love it deserved (... even now). Btw, the DS9 pilot was huge too. And then the big drop happened, as well. I've just accepted it to be the fate of trek on TV since then.

Thats when UPN began there mission of aiming for female 18-34 viewers only, which is one of the reasons The CW continues to tank.
ST is a big boys club sadly especially when ENT went more action orintated in the later years, ironically pushed upon by the network
.
I thought both S3 and S4 were a healthy mix of both romance and action. I didn't always LIKE the romance (even though I'm a girl! Oh, the irony 
), but I didn't have a problem with the mix. UPN was a crappy network though. We all knew that. I wish ENT had been on skiffy, or even TNT or Spike.

I have a lengthy list of series that I personally consider to be underrated, but I'm going to limit myself to just five:
John Doe
Vanished
Reunion
Wolf Lake
The WB's Tarzan

Party Down was canceled because all the main characters left the show right?
Weeds season 5? You are kidding me right? That is the worst of the worst of the worst seasons. I think you are the only one who likes season 5.
It's not underrated, it's rated correctly. You viewpoint is just wrong. 
If I watched the first seasons of TNG and ENT, both widely derided, I'd probably find the first season of Enterprise slightly more watchable.
And while I can cherry pick some amazing episodes from Voyager that I've enjoyed almost as much as the best episodes from TOS/TNG/DS9, I found the earlier seasons and the final season under Biller, IMO, disproportionately duller and goofier.

Tonight, alas, is the two-hour series finale of LIFE UNEXPECTED. I'll be curious to see if they manage how to wrap things up nicely.
I'll add Community and Better Off Ted to the list.
Community took awhile to hit its stride, but starting with its first season Halloween episode it became the funniest show on TV currently airing.
Better Off Ted was hilarious from the start, but died a swift death.

Despite the goofy 80's overtones/cheese, how about Otherworld?

Otherworld was entertaining in 1985, it felt like it was set in an alternate earth from an episode of the Sliders 1995 series ....maybe it inspired Sliders?
The Boondocks

I have very mixed feelings about Caprica.
