Most Popular TV Series 1986 - 2019
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Timeline history of the most viewed TV series from 1986 to 2019. Ranking is based on the following factors: prime-time first 24 hours audience reports, one week of reported statistics for downloaded copies (pirated), one week of streaming services viewership. Numbers are worldwide with significant bias towards US market up until 2002, afterwards it's balanced by p2p distribution across the globe.
I actually have the data starting 1960s. Let me know if you'd like extended version of this video.

I love how NCIS has consistently taken top spots for the last decade and yet I do not know a single person who watches that show
willduff Same
It is probably from people leaving their tv on overnight
I don’t even know what it is...
I think a lot of middle aged people watch it. I grew up watching it with my mother and she still watches it to this day.
I watch it, its so bad that I never admit it, but its addictive
I can't believe so many people are watching Young Sheldon.
RSumm22 it’s so bad
Boomers man
They advertise it every 5 seconds
Why
First, what people watch doesn't mean what you think it means. TV shows and movies are a lot like a meal. Sometimes you're in the mood for steak (a heavy drama that demands multiple views) and sometimes you're in the mood for something frivolous (ice cream). Seondly Young Sheldon is charming and funny. I doubt millions of people would continue to watch if it were trash. Trying desperately to convince themselves that they are watching great art (Game of Thrones) cough.
1995 - crazy that the top 3 shows (Seinfeld, Friends, ER) were all on the same network, the same night of the week.
agree
Not that crazy when you think about it. Sometimes the success of a show depends on its lead-ins. How many shows moved from one day or time to another only to have it kill the show, or give it new life?
Must see TV on NBC
Today's shows are way beter. Especially in the humor genre. Back in the days they made alot of jokes without thinking how it would make other people feel.
Glad times are changing and we show more respect these days to each other. ✌️

Very strange that Rick and Morty makes an appearance but not The Office. Also I'm stunned that friends wasn't more dominant than it was.
right?? That's so weird. I always thought the office was the most popular tv series in america during the 10's.
My thoughts exactly. Not to mention Sons of Anarchy.
Only good shows make the cut The Office is unfunny and boring

GOT and Breaking Bad best shows I have ever seen. Got could have been the unquestioned best ever if it weren’t for Season 8. House Of The Dragon looks promising however.
Nah bb still would of been better if s8 was good
does one season define the whole series?
Lost, Breaking Bad and Prison Break best shows.
@@lebronjamesharden3958 I mean I wouldn’t say it defines the series as I still think the series was a top 3 series of all time, I just think the ending of a show is a pretty important part of the story and if it isn’t told right or portrayed in a popular way it can lower the show’s quality. Still think GOT was phenomenal just think they messed up the ending.

Never really reached that popularity. It really blew up after most of the good stuff
Yeah exactly what I'm saying! Definetly in my top 3 and it had a huge influence.
I think the person that made this video just forgot about it. I was looking at the Nielson ratings for The Office and for Grey's Anatomy, and The Office was right on par, in fact besting it in some years. Moreso, on season they nearly doubled the viewership.

6:20 Breaking Bad is bellow House of Cards? No way. I remember hearing on the news about what a sensation Breaking Bad was in America. For being so popular some shows are barely talked or have any popular culture references in the public about them.
Yeah, Breaking Bad ended in 2013, the same time that House of Cards started to become mainstream. On top of that, there was no plans for Better Call Saul yet, and House of Cards was playing on the average American's fears of Corrupt politicians. So that's why HoC ended up passing BB on the list

Older people love it..CBS over 50s.
The CBS numbers are inflated. I’m not sure how CBS is doing their reporting, but Hawaii Five-O is a horrible show now and is one of their best shows by their numbers. I checked Reddit and Twitter and could barely find any activity. I would take any of the CBS numbers past 2000 with a massive grain of salt.
Which goes to show popularity is overrated.
@@Koenigjay
You're assuming that popular = good.
It does not.
@@Koenigjay elderly people watch it, don't assume everything who watches TV goes on reddit to talk about what they've watched, truth of the matter most people don't give enough of a fuck to do so
Never in my life during a conversation about TV series I heard: Do you like NCIS? or "So exciting for the new episode of NCIS"
Same right? Who actually watches it
Liberty Prime I’ve heard more people talk about NCIS. The people i know who hate it say its better than game of thrones and the big bang theory...
@@CertifiedHoodClassic0 my mom. She always waited for all the new episodes
As someone that lives with their grandma, people do actually watch NCIS, along with CSI, Criminal Minds, Blue Bloods, and Law & Order SVU. It is absolutely ridiculous how many cop shows there are, and how many people watch them
You're probably not over 60, that's why.
Nice. Another factor to consider is the way time-shifted viewing changed during this period. While VCRs were extremely common by 1986, DVRs and streaming have changed the landscape totally.
Stranger Things in 2016:
"Hi"
"Ok, bye"

Lost was a true masterpiece, specifically the early seasons.
Dexter was outstanding for me too
Masterpiece or pretentious nonsense.
I was lost watching lost after like season 2 or 3
I was relieved to see Lost was top of the pile for so long because it meant it wasn't just me that was taken in by it. In a way it was similar to Orange is the New Black in that its appeal lay in revealing the various backstories. It was totally vacuous, otherwise.
Lost was very entertaining the first few seasons, but the stories they were a part of never got a resolution or explanation. The smoke monster, Hurley's numbers, the cult people, etc never got solved.

Talk about snooze fest. How are people not bored of that yet. It's the same thing every episode.
I hate it!
It's interesting to watch the shift from episodic comedies and procedurals to serialised Dramas dominating TV. Until the Sopranos and West Wing came around in 1999, there really was nothing else pulling in big numbers on TV, and even then it wasn't until the mid to late 2000's until the shift actually started to take place. The fact that The Sopranos in particular could compete with these other shows despite being a relatively new format without streaming, with an unorthodox premise (the main character being an unrepentant criminal was highly controversial at the time) on a premium network not accessible to the same viewing base as the others, half a decade before it became cool really is an amazing feat.
I mean yeah, there's a reason why it's one of the greatest TV shows of all time, it pretty practically changed tv for good, tv before was lackluster as fuck
Just shows why it's the greatest TV show of all time.
i mean twin peaks was the first to do it and paved the way for sopranos but sure give sopranos all the credit
Murder She Wrote Dominant AF
Ironic, given that it is funnier than 95% of all those comedic shows that came before AND after
Lost is forever going to be a staple in my life
It was so good for the first few seasons, but man it got weird after season 2.
@@bogrunberger you ain’t wrong about that, it would have been stale if they kept the same concept of season 1 tho
@@3azyac Season 5 was such a trippy over-the-top Science Fiction/Time Travel fest, that I felt like they had sort of redeemed themselves a bit... and that maybe they did have a plan. WOAH MAN were we wrong! Series 6 and The Finale was an epic let down. Such a MASSIVE cheat move to pull on your audience, who remained loyal through the whole series! They did us dirty big time. Still to this day upset about it.
However those first 2 seasons will live on in my head forever. What an awesome concept they had going intially. I'd watch a reboot out of morbid curiosity, just to see how they would approach it. Those characters are legendary. I will never forget LOST, even if it ended terribly.
It started out good but then the plot got so convoluted and messy that it felt like the writers were just winging it the whole time.
Surprised I didn’t see the office, scrubs, or that 70s show.
Bye there are millons
The office highest viewing was 9 million before the show ended . It didn't started to get popular til around 2015 / 2016 . Thats only because of Netflix.

@@negansrankings5403 what ahahahahah
I do feel like it could’ve been a good ending overall, if they spent 3-4 more seasons on explaining stuff and keeping the pace like they did throughout the whole series. I’m guessing the ending in the books will be similar just a lot less rushed, more polished and will explain more stuff. Where as season 7 and 8 rushed things and made things seem random. Like Daenerys just randomly turning to the mad queen....
Igor Rychert GOT is just like sex. When they hit their peak-- Seemed like the Best thing in the world; both sides were happy. Then in seasons 7&8 they came……so Daenerys was a mad queen and blew The Whole place into flames.
Sad how Stranger Things flashed in the pan. Nowhere as big as you think it was considering all the 'hype'
It’s because of the Netflix binge drop all episodes factor. Helps inflate the numbers but doesn’t sustain as well

Now I'm watching it again with my best friend. It is always so fun seeing the first-time reactions, hearing the guesses and seeing the alliances form. Not even the less-than superb end can negate all the amazing memories this show gave me.
Watching GoT is like playing a game.

Now the office is the most viewed Serie on Netflix all around the world
If the serie is not that much known is probably cause of the particular humor and scenes intentionally embarrassing
Its like one of those series who people thought was shitty, but once they discover it they binge watch the whole thing cause its really good and tell others about it. The office hadnt had much marketing if i am not wrong
I was looking for this comment. I might have a small addiction to the office....i’ve watched all the through the show 14 times now😬
Noah Weathers you’re not alone
Yeah I think its the most watch show on Netflix
I'm stunned The Simpsons barely made the list, and only for a short time.
IKR. But joke's on them all, Simpson's in it's 31st season!!! That blows my mind. It's roughly as old as I am!
Where where?
The same as Dr House
I was about to come and comment the very same thing
The Simpsons was always pretty niche and it might be in its 31st season but doesn't mean anyone is watching it.
I love how Simpsons just peeked in and was like, "Nevermind."
And somehow has outlasted them all
its a shitshow after all.
Diaz Linggaputra lmao I bet you watch something like breaking bad
Absolutely criminal that it barely scraped getting into this considering 95% of the shows here are complete garbage
PieRow I watched breaking bad start to finish twice, and I love the simpsons
You can see the major network power in the mid 1980s. The raw viewership numbers for the top show in 2019 are not too far ahead of the 10th show in 1986
Right!
When three channels was all you had you didn't have much in the way of choice. Cable penetration was still weak, home rental was still growing and video gaming was not really a thing like it eventually became.
Back in 1986, most of us only had about 7 channels to choose from, as long as the antenna was adjusted just right.
Stranger things came in like
And his name is John cena
😂😂
@TSG Xpl0de no, the part when ST appears in 2019
😂😂
I mean Games of Thrones or Friends in 1996
ProbIox best serie of all time
NCIS is playing in the background while everyone is cooking dinner and doing laundry
yes
Just because you don't watch NCIS doesn't mean a ton of other folks don't. I wouldn't even let Game of Thrones play in the background, but that doesn't mean the numbers are lying. I'm just not part of the group that finds it even remotely interesting.
Genny Altman it’s a joke. Honestly I don’t know why people take things so seriously
@@CrissyAlwaysSunny Nope, I don't take you seriously at all.
Genny Altman yes u are
Did anyone else just go “NCIS?!?!” at the end?? Yeah me too
Only 29 people like us
yeah bro tf ncis? that series i thought it was going to be friends the simpson or game of thrones but sike NCIS lmao
I'm more shocked about Young Sheldon. Never heard a single person talk about that show
@@haleyfranke6739 exactly wtf
I am more shocked about the office and supernatural not being there and young sheldon being there
I love how you can tell when the new season of GOT came out lol
I did not eepect too see NCIS on the top in 2019. Thought it had its best time mid 2000s
I didn't even know that was still around...
Boomers
It did but you have to compare the numbers. They’re only on top because of the low median numbers. 31 million would not be anywhere near the top in the early 2000’s but the recent saturation in media (with Amazon, Apple, and Disney creating their own platforms) has caused individual show numbers to decline across the board. Simply put, the times are a changin.
yeah, I used to follow NCIS until Ziva left, then I kinda dropped it (actually I dropped every series since my job demanded more time). Back then NCIS and Bones were the top for me, didn't expect one is still at the very top.
@@eldiablo7455 Every fucking TV show is for boomers. If the way you get your entertainment is by watching discount movies that are stretched out for as long as possible (upwards of ten years), you're a fucking boomer. It doesn't matter what stupid flavor of show you're watching. There's a reason that DTV movies are so abhorred, and TV shows are a grade below them.
Can’t believe How I Met Your Mother or that 70s Show didn’t make it
Which 70's show ?
@@akshatthakur3777 the show is called that 70s show
Akshat Thakur the show itself is called “That 70s Show”. You should check it out tbh. Great show
Adwait Sahasrabuddhe it’s good but the jokes get repetitive
@Kori Williams the simpsons made it
in 1996
crazy how popular Game of thrones got from these type of ratings considering it was the most the most illegally downloaded show of all time too. I never paid for HBO and watched it all.
Thief
FBI open up
Out of interest what’s the best website to watch it on ?
Theo Elliott I watched all the seasons on GOmovies, it’s a bit annoying at the start because you have to close 1 or 2 pop up ads at the beginning but you won’t get interrupted when watching the show
you're so going to jail
Cosby Show dominated the 1980's
I've heard a lot of discussion about The Office and How I met your mother so I'm surprise they are not in there.
I love those two shows! #Underrated
Those shows were more popular to binge watch, yes they were popular when the came out but they really got their popularity when they were put on streaming services
They're definetly not underrated, the chart is wrong they are very much popular and loved
@@annabaumann2008 streaming would still count given the mandelorin and orange is the new black etc made it on there..im so surprised The Office never broke the top ten that blows my mind
I guess the viewer database is US only. World wide would be completely different, even for only us series.
Every list without "Married... with Children" must be wrong :)
"Popular" doesn't mean "good".
"Good" means good.
Chris RJ too many procedural crime shows. Perfect display of terrible, acting in unrealistic situations; Criminal Minds being the exception.
@@michaelsuder3956 &The Lost?
True
nobody said it did dawg

It's weird I've never heard anyone say "I like NCIS" or "I've been watching NCIS" in my entire life
I do 😁
Film Toppings I have over 150 recorded... 😳
I’ve never even heard of the show
Because NCIS fans don’t have the need to say they are fans like the other tv shows fans do 😊

The early 90s actually had good wholesome television.
GOT: at the top for basically it’s entire runtime

I have never met anyone who said yeah ncis is my favourite show
I haven’t even seen a part of it, even though it’s always shown on TV. Now I’m also looking at why this series is so good !? :)
@@MsCristyn83 i know right
It's a good show though
I mean, I don't even know what NCIS stands for
it’s not anyone’s fav but everyone still watch it

Eye_Dee hopefully you shut up and leave
Eye_Dee you’re really bitter. Eat a snickers mate
Eye_Dee seriously you need to calm
I'm glad to see house MD did well, one of my favorite shows, as well as breaking bad.
They could definitely bring that show back. It was great and we were left hanging
@@eligebrown8998 I wouldn't say we were left hanging, I think it was a good ending. It of course left some to be desired, but I'd much rather want more than be upset because the show has gone on too long and lost what made it special. I liked the way it ended.
Y'all weren't asking for the real tea: WHERE IS SPONGEBOB
I love SpongeBob
I think spongebob was huge for kids only
Vyansya It was pretty big with adults as well
@@KudosMSGP true i still watch it i'm 20 Years old but its still gold.
joeri 040 Same here
The reason why shows like ncis and young sheldon are most viewed because people can watch those shows with their family.
Same with stranger things
Its like the kind of show you put on to make an ambiance during dinner to avoid an awkard silence
@@Andrew-wf6fi well you cant really watch it with kids, they’ll get scared of them alien things
I wouldn't recommend watching NCIS with children, lol. Bodies being desolved in bathtubs, people getting their feet cut off and hanged up for decoration, etc... not exactly on the same level as Young Sheldon.
but common sense would say, if you watch with your family then the views should be low since you all watch from one TV and watch views does not count each and every individual who is watching rather number of TVs streaming that particular show, Right?

Maël AGNES lets be honest, if it wasnt for the nudity, this show would have never been to the top lol
@@lewissison6557 that's marketing right? Getting non nerds to watch a fantasy show( honest trailers).
And season 8 was totally marketing. The strategy- announce that this is the last season, and everyone will watch it irrespective of the quality.
@@frompoupettotofemmedeguill6733 like lost
I can't believe Supernatural wasn't in the 2005-2010 section. I feel like it was such a popular show.

What about American Idol? Were reality shows not included?
Well it wasn’t lol
Don’t group 2005 with 2010

Sitcoms once reigned until crime dramas staged a coup in the 2000s
And that's why nobody wants to watch tv anymore...cos it's for Drama and reality lovers (aka women who dont work) which is a tiny demographic compared to the good old sitcoms
Yeah Crime Dramas made most of 2000s

To be fair.. Breaking Bad didn't really gain alot of its fame until it was almost over.. I was fortunate enough to watch the pilot when it first aired and was hooked.. didn't have a clue it would develop the way it did over the years but damn what a ride.
I only heard of BB in 2020 cuz
1. It didnt air in my country
2. Lockdown so I started to actually watch it this year,dam did it deserve its title of best tv show.

GoT is like that ex who you had the most treasured and best time of your life with but it ended on a very bitter and toxic note. So each time you see her photo or name, you experience love and repulsion at the same time.
And I have never dated anyone yet I get this feeling seeing GoT related content anywhere 😂😂
Wish I had never watched S8.
this analogy is way to precise
Exactly me, but with How I Met Your Mother

It slipped away because the show ended.

I’m bouta end this man’s whole career
They kinda forget about season 8
It actaully started to fall when season 8 was released. Not surprised though season 8 was not that great.
Interesting to see what the next "Game of Thrones" is gonna be. I dont quite believe Mandalorian is gonna get that popular considering its Star Wars and thats not everyone's cup of tea so to speak...
I also doubt that GoT spinoff/prequel series is gonna be that popular either, but I could be wrong. Amazon's Lord of the Rings series could be contender to take that 1st place considering its gonna be the most expensive TV show of all time and obviously LOTR/Middle-Earth still has its own big fanbase.
But ye shame that GoT could not end with high note, but for me it seemed clear that D&D just wanted to get it done and over with, even though its clear that the last 2 seasons should also have been 10 episodes long, but were both cut short.
@@oguzcanaygun5267 you realize it's because it took so long to make the last season when the last season came out the views brought it right back up
