I'm surprised Breaking Bad never made it to the top, despite being technically a masterpiece of a series with virtually zero 'bad' episodes.
"fly"
its success is more because of longevity and the internet causing the show to produce such viral moments and memes, I started watching it 2 years ago and many poeple can say the same because of memes that they've seen on the internet. when i was watching the show there was about 20 instences when I laughed and said to myself ohh ive seen this moment 100s of times alrleady because of memes lmfao. The show produced such iconic moments
@@carsonoliveira7972 well...
In my defence, that episode has some deeper meaning to it, if you really think about it. It kind of scrutinizes Walter's OCD and perfectionism traits yet this bizzarrely perceptive persona which is carried throughout the rest of the show. And it also kind of opens Jesse's eyes as to when Mr. White gets hold of something inside his head, he has to fix or solve it; no matter the consequences. It truly depicts Walter's raw nature in a somewhat vague yet monotonous way.
I call that art.
Bruh the mid part of season 3 was so laging even thonits connects to the story
despite being so overrated
I remember when TWD and GOT were the only shows anyone talked about for almost 2 years...
@@user-su5xk1eu7owas that even on the list lol
@@slighce Yes
started watching TWD again from were i left off and its just the same repetitive shit over and over.
@alle mort what? I didn't know anyone talking about that
@@user-su5xk1eu7o yeah literally were i left off. about 4 episodes into the next season after terminus. i just gave up....i was like this just same situation in a part of the country. fk it im out.
When a new episode or season came out for Game of Thrones, every other TV show just had to make way.
I have to this day never watched a series so good up to and including season 6.
Breaking Bad is the best entire series I've watched.
Scrubs, excluding the cash in seasons eg anything beyond season 8, is a close second to BB but very incomparable due to the genre.
@@coxxycabee true. Its a shame people only judge it for the final season, I even enjoyed season 7 and the first 2 episodes of season 8. Then it felt rushed and out of place from then on. I still need to watch Breaking Bad but it won't fill the void left by GoT I feel. Lost, TWD and Prison Break are my comfort non comedy shows, could rewatch the first few seasons over and over.
The fact that at one point Game of Thrones was at 5 BILLION searches and the next closest was just 700 million...
Not even. It was at 99 BILLION searches while the next closest wasn't even 900 million.
Game of Thrones was an event of the decade, it's surprising how one of the most niche genres managed to keep audiences for a decade when done right
But the 2 final seasons are bad. IDK why when the final season trailer released it become the most anticipated show in early 2019 and it manage almost 100B search on google. Is it because they have been let down by season 7 and have too much hope for the finales?
still doesnt matter what matter is the fact that a show in fantasy genre became most popular show it is a huge achievement@@jstnshi-eenmkbar
@@jstnshi-eenmkbaralso we waited 2yrs for that final season to b released I assumed we was gonna get at least 15 episodes Shyt was 6😅
The last season of GOT was the worst writing ever for a popular show.
@@shawnsanders9450 And it was completely avoidable. No writing strikes, no production issues, no studio drama - everything was fucking PERFECT for it to end amazingly but the two dickheads in charge wanted to do Star Wars. That's it. That's literally it. They were offered more money, more seasons, longer production times, and they said no to it all and wrote themselves out of a career. Fucking embarrassing.
omg the fact that GOT went from 1 billion to 90 billion searches that quick is just crazy!!Imagine if it had a better ending, this would have been the perfect show ever!!!
It is still not nearly as good as the books.
@@captainvaughn5692 How does that make any sense your reading a peice of paper whilst we're watching dragons wipe out thousands of people
@@EliteMMAv2 Read the books yourself and find out 💀
@@captainvaughn5692 Nah I'd rather watch a TV show
@@captainvaughn5692 True.
After Netflix, Prime, and Disney+, we really see how fast we consume. The graph is going crazy in the last 5 years.Older shows occasionally breathe new life into streaming platforms, but the real standout shows on TV become apparent right away.
It's great that Game of Thrones said "sit down" and went up to 90x while Elite was trying to get to number 1 by overstepping its bounds.
Despite how many rose to first position, I'm more impressed at the longevity of _Friends_ rarely ever leaving the list.
Game of thrones never left the list
Best way to learn English🎉🎉
@@Kelle63 But it hasn't been around as long is the point.
@@Kelle63 But friends finished it's run in 2004. That's insane. if the video started in 1994 friends would be number 1 BY FAR for 10 years.
Yes considering how bad the show is
Gotta give some props to "Lost".
Dominated the list for 6 years. I remember those first episodes being so extremely captivating and unlike anything you've seen before. Like GOT but on a smaller scale and before the streaming hype.
Also faced the same problem with a lackluster ending and feels very forgotten today.
The ending was perfect imo
@@AltezzaGang15 same, I loved the ending to Lost.
lost reinvented tv no matter what people think of the later seasons quality. no show prior had a continuous story like lost did with the cliffhangers on that big of a scale before
The ending wasn't the problem. The show started going down after season 1 and from season 3 onwards it got more and more awful.
Lost's ending isn't bad. It's just that the majority of TV watchers did not follow the entire show and tuned back in towards the end and so were severily confused. The fact that there was and still is a lot of misinformation about the ending out there, does not help.
I love how Friends reappears from time to time, and Gilmore Girls was much more persistent than I imagined!
Did not expect to see Gilmore Girls so high! Thought it was a niche show that I enjoyed haha
Friends will probably always be up there. It's my comfort show I rewatch it every year!
Glad to see Vikings on the top for a while , It's such a great show I can see myself coming back to this series many times in the future ❤:: The subtlety Fimmel used to portray one of the most courageous Viking legends proved his worth time and time again.🤗
Odin gave his eye but I gave $40 during Amazon Prime and bought the complete series on Blu-ray.
Floki was fun to watch for sure.
@@robertsims3759 Yup 👍
Didn’t hit the charts until Ragnar died unfortunately and the show got much worse IMO
The Last Kingdom is better, thank me later
The fact that there was a time when GoT had 99% of all searches for popular shows at one point is incredible. I remember when it was literally the only thing anyone ever talked about, but almost as soon as it concluded, I've almost never heard a word, other than the occasional, "Yeah, that show was amazing, but ugh, that ending," and that's it. No quotes, no references, no comparisons, nothing. Its complete evaporation from relevance was as stunning as its materialization. Meanwhile, I still watch and quote and reference Friends, and I didn't ever watch it all the way through during its original airing or anytime after.
Really? And the house of the dragons what?
Really? Even the last Shazam movie has a GoT reference. Never seen any show come near the relevance GoT ever had.
This was like a walk through time and it's unbelievable and stunning to see when GOT spiked up to 90 Million searches. I mean this is insane....The fact that the ending sucked and it shriveled into nothing , GOT will go down as one of the most successfully watch shows of the modern era and Century..
Friends is not funny at all idk what the appeal is
I disagree after you said "no quotes, references, comparisons." Where I'm from, and seeing it online, the show gets a LOT of those things. I quote GOT all the time lol
In almost every year GOT touches 1st position 🔥🔥🔥
Breaking bad 😎
Money heist ❤
Stranger things
In end Got shit all around
That is why GOT is real GOAT
I think it's funny how 13 reasons why just suddenly appears out of nowhere and goes to the top then disappears, repeating several times.
Lost is my absolute favourite TV show. I'm so, so happy it dominated the charts for as long as it aired.
Lost was a masterpeace during all the show, but the end was a joke for me. It was too easy to finish like that...
Lost is stupid. And people were probably just lost and needed directions. They weren't looking for stupid show.
I strongly suggest to go and see "From" 2 seasons so far i binged the 20 episodes in 2 days!
Searches aren’t inherently good or bad. I think i searched it once just to find out wtf people were talking about then also went somewhere to shit on it. So yeah…. Kind of like now. Ha.
Lost was ahead of its time. With incredible character development and arcs that marvel any show past or present. Its impact is felt in productions of streaming and way audiences consume entertainment media to this very day
Crazy to see how stable it was among a handful of shows in the early 00’s and then streaming and binge watching came out and this chart turned into a disco lol great representation of data
Yes! You can tell when streaming shows became the standard. Fascinating
It’s not accurate tho
@@jordylemaire7805 what’s inaccurate about it? They used data from Google trends and visualized it.
The fact that Lost was number 1, 3 years after it’s final episode is insane. It was over 5 years later for it to drop from top 5. It’s definitely one of my favorite tv shows of all time.
I was about 5-10yrs old when it was airing, and I remember hearing all about it nonstop during its runtime. I was a kid that watched Disney channel. I don’t remember how or when it came to my knowledge , it was just part of my consciousness all of a sudden.
@@mgp1203I watched every episode of Lost. In 2006 as 10 years Old boy i broke my arm and was in hospital for a night. Was depressed, i will not see my serie, was once a week 2 episodes exactly at that day. In that times once missed was Lost🤣🤣🤣 forever. They had tv there in that room i was and they don't wanted to turn it on for me 😭 They had to fix my arm and i wanted to watch lost no matter my hanging arm, the tv serie was more important for me🤣
Bc everything else was shit
I never watched a single episode until about 2021 or 2022. I was one of those people that bragged about how I had never seen a single episode. Decided to give it a try, and couldn’t make it through the first episode the first time. I turned it off, then several days later I decided to give it another shot, because I figured it had to be something worthwhile if so many people raved about it.
I am so glad I did that, because I binge watched it within a couple weeks, and couldn’t believe I had missed out on it all those years. I’ve watched the series at least 4 or 5 times now, although I usually don’t make it through the whole last season. I love GoT!
Anyone boasting about never watching a single episode is boasting on missing out on one of the best shows ever made, and the joke is on them.
Because LOST created a show hole that only TWD and / or GOT could mend.
I'm happy that even for a short time, the Office appears on the list
I really expected more with how much people talk about it. I don't know anyone who watches friends on the other hand
Nah the Office is great but Friends is really goated
@@misterfau985Nahh i don't think so!! Friends is good but nothing touches The Office!!
@@Messi_SarthakIts just your opinion
@@AwesomeSalsa it’s very much a generational divide I think. Older millennials and gen x prefer Friends, younger millennials and gen z prefer The Office.
Let’s be honest, TWD is unbelievable! Since 2012 it always stayed at the top, going down only during the summer months, in between seasons! It is such an important piece of tv’s history that I’m surprised to see how easily it is forgotten sometimes
I love the fact that, even 18 years after the sitcom's final, Friends is still in the top 12 most searched shows... Just goes to show you how timeless and unique that show really was.
American comedy
just nostalgia, its not really that good
@@rytis4523ok we get it it's cool to hate friends for genz
@@ratamahatta5306 i havent seen any good show on that list imagine fuckenn watching grays anatomy wtf

@@bakadabakada 💀
Stranger Things and Blacklist for me
I can't believe there are no Scrubs, The Misfits, House MD, Californication in the top
Never heard of those.
@@Andre-to1og which clearly means that you were born after the 10s
NCIS, Entourage, Two and Half men, the mentalist.
I thought they were all popular shows in the 2000’s too.
I also expected at least Scrubs and House MD.
(what the hell is that 'the o.c.'?? I don't even remember the title!)
@@slavadamer1128 I watched the O.C. a few episodes, but I didn't like it.
Vikings is the one of most underrated webseries.
But king Ragnar lothbrok is in the thumbnails, iam happy for it
How are people still calling vikings underrated it's literally one of the most popular shows ever millions have it as one of their favorites and mention it being one of the best not to mention 90% of the videos have between 1 and 70M views
Watching this I realised how powerful of a show GoT was! To reach the top so quickly, and having huge rivals like TWD and Stranger Things, but it kept its position still! There won't be another show like this ever
I'll be completely honestly, stranger things is over hyped. I can understand TWD but saying a show like stranger things is a rival to GOT is foul they're in 2 different categories and stranger things ain't in the same league as GOT.
@@Antonio20067 True. I watched S1 from STs and basically stopped watching. It's just not for me, just very childish I guess. But S1 of TWD is probably the most hyped I've ever been when watching a show, specially the pilot. It was that good, but then they ran out of ideas and each season was more of the same.
@@Antonio20067true true
@Antonio20067 syranger things is awesome. Also a lot short than GOT. GoT and stranger things are my favorite shows of all time. Just apples and oranges really
Tbh even though many say they overstretched the walking dead and that it fell off, for it still to be relevant after 11 years is crazy, goat
It shows why 'Friends' is such a legendary show to survive this long even after so many shows with modern tech came to life😍
NAH , MAN ITS CRAP. VERY PATHETIC. TIME WASTING. BETTER TO WATCH GOT OR TBBT OR BREAKING BAD OR SHERLOCK.
Nope They’ve the best that’s why you can always watch them until these days.
@@rafifzayer7109 TBBT better than Friends?! Yeah, sure. TBBT started strong as a somewhat of a niche sitcom, but halfway the writers gave up and just made it into Friends. At least Friends knew what it is from the beginning and it stick to it.
@@rafifzayer7109but how many times would you rewatch it. Once you know what’s coming you lose interest but somehow with friends it’s the opposite
Friends only started trending again in later years because it was release fully on Netflix, before that it was washed up
The fact that Ertugrul managed to get in the top 10 is quite impressive. I guess theres many people that like history based shows and middle ages. I will say its a great show.
Fav show on the list. Happy to see non American shows also gain popularity, probably because it was not only famous in turkey but was the only talked about show in Pakistan during quarantine
@@k_slushie1588 I've heard somewhere that it has quite a big following in Latin America as well but Im not sure if that's true.
Everyone was watching game of thrones. Got me out of a speeding ticket one night. Cop asked where I was going in a hurry and I told I got off work late and was trying to make it home before Game of Thrones started. Dude straight up gave me back my license and registration, and apologized for the inconvenience. Astounded.
It’s crazy that you can see how much streaming changed the game. My family started watching Supernatural in 2005 and all through high school, I was one of the only ones who watched/talked about it. Once it hit Netflix, it took off big time.
It isnt just the streaming. I think the youtube content that discusses it also play a huge role. You can always tell a show is popular when you can do a youtube search and there'll be many channels with high sub numbers doing a review of some sorts on that show, for every episode. Those channels also consistently release content when ever there are some news or teasers of new seasons or prequel and such.
They help people who dont understand what's going on in the show, understand them too. I mean if it were up to themselves they dont gey a few things they might even give up watching the show.
Supernatural 😢 one love
Supernatural is my one true love. I kept looking for it and for it only throughout this video.
Nothing can replace supernatural ❤❤

@@RonsaRRR 100%, they're forcing lgbtq into every series to show that it's " normal " which is stupid
@@c.m3008 And the half of their dialogues is about being gay.
I recently have been watching a channel that dives deep into the fan theories and lore of LOST. After having a much better and fundamental understanding of what was going on I rewatched the show. I must say that the writers knew what they were doing, far more than the backlash they got with such a subpar ending.
That show was lightning in a bottle.
I'm just glad I was able to see Supernatural ❤
The fact that GOT is still watched shows how good it was. Despite the nightmare we call season 8 “shudder”
I wouldn't be surprised that GOT keeps growing because just reaction videos on RUclips probably amount to millions.
@mickosmile850 let's not forget the prequel house of the dragon
I've literally just finished watching game of thrones for the first time. Glad I didn't have to wait for each season to start. Loved it. It has its plusses and minuses.
Plus they're already making 3 prequels and everyone is excited about them
I had never been attached to any TV series before until GoT. How I wish Game of Thrones made it to at least Season 10 and ended differently. Nevertheless, I'm beyond grateful to have witnessed one of GRRM's masterpieces brought to life on television.
Watch house of the dragon, season 2 is out in summer and it’s just as good

Squid Game after 5 seconds: aight imma head out
Squid Game was goated, i wish they made more seasons every year since.
By the end it moves so fast that it's clearly just a lot of hype for shows that then die off quickly, whether the show deserved the hype or not.
short attention spans after smart phones and social media blasts
I think it shows how oversaturated tv has become. And shows are only a few episodes a season now, too. A season releases, people get excited for a short time, then a season of something else releases, and it keeps repeating.
This is amazing data - shows the cultural shift so well. Early shows gained and held solid interest, but now it is all trends. People hear about the new show - watch and move on. The amount of movement in order in the 2nd hald of this shows it perfectly.
It's because of streaming. Netflix in particular who drops all the episodes of a show all at once so there is no sustained period. You binge and then you move on
Well maybe it's because now there is a lot more big budget new shows being made so people move on to the next big thing
I don't think its that. Newer series firstly have a lot of CG and bigger budgets per episodes so you only get like 10 a season. then people move on to the next thing until the new season comes out again. Older TV shows didn't work like that
nah it's the video creator's fault. They switched the criteria in the middle of the video. First half is overall views of all time, second half is google searches in that month. Can't compare those two at all
One of the difficult things to show with this, is the increase in people googling things since the inception dates on the chart. I wonder what friends numbers would have been like if it was similarly as popular in the 2020s.
What is really crazy is how much things kept raising and lowering on the list once streaming really kicked off in a big way...the list was so inconsistent and shuffling, it showed the difference big time.
If anyone is still confused about whether or not streaming has truly and profoundly affected the way we consume 'television' content -- this is a solid demonstration that it has.
Think it also has to do with newer series only having like 10 episodes per season. Because of Higher budgets per episode etc etc. So it rises when its the main show when the new season drops and repeats that process every year
@@wiehanvanwyk8701 I can see that argument. But at the same time, GoT and Friends and others have been done for years and decades respectively, yet they're still in the top 10. Shorter, higher budget productions are definitely responsible for the peaks, I mean did you SEE GoT shoot from nothing to 50 billion in a month? Lol. But as far as what becomes and stays relevant, streaming hasn't just changed the game, they made a whole new one.
@@travist7851 Definitely not taking away from the success of these few shows. Just saying in general with all the shows up and downs
it's interesting to see the shift in what was popular! we went from largely consuming reality shows to fantasy/horror/sci-fi pretty gradually but we got there in the end!
I'm surprised that it took Doctor Who so long to appear on the list, and during the Capaldi era no less. Also surprising to see Heroes so high up on the list, I had no idea it was quite that popular back when it was airing.
I think I was most impressed with Friends still being on the list and really never leaving the list. That’s like almost 20 YEARS from when the show ended and it’s still that popular, incredible!
I'm still re-watching it and I just get to the episode where Ross needs to stop seeing Rachel to get back Emily😢
Best series ever
The way that shows stayed on longer in the beginning and how the lines just change like crazy as it got closer to 2022, you can tell how much streaming services totally changed the way how we watch TV and how TV shows are in general.
I barely watch local cable TV since 2016.
Fr & lot of people only had basic tv (13 channels) until 2008
I honestly hate short-lived hype shows. Netflix is truly the devil.
Exactly. Shows are at the top nowadays for only a few weeks sometimes
I'm amazed at how persistent Friends is even more than a decade after it's finale.
I'm also surprised that Doctor Who only entered so late even though it was far more popular culturally during the Tenant and Smith era.
It’s interesting how stable the lists were for about half the video, and then how chaotic it would get for the second half. Shows the nature of the people now.. binging and then hopping on the next show that’s “trending”.

This gives us a perfect example of why, despite the ending, GoT is probably the best and most favourite series ever made. Not many things have the capacity to become a global phenomenon and turn into an actual franchise. It's on par with Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel/DC, Fast& Furious when it comes to popularity.
Игра престолов стоит выше них по популярности, ну марвел может и догнало засчëт большого количества фильмов. Но не сравнивай Игру престолов с Гарри Поттером. Игра престолов гораздо лучше
nah dont try to sneak in fast and furious 😂
@@amirluqman3477 , i hate it, it's extremely stupid, but despite that it's still a money making and famous worldwide franchise. 😅
@@Starkiller2725well lotr franchise made more money than that
@@Starkiller2725 i understand. but fnf is a bad example . you could say WWE. they are much bigger franchise haha.
I recently finished dexter and im glad it was on this list even for a little bit cuz it really deserves it
Prison Break season 1 & 2 were lit 🔥
The fact that 'Lost' led for 9-10 years of an 18 year history review is pretty amazing!
And was still way in the lead almost 4 years after it ended. Amazing.
Everybody watched that show before streaming came along. It’s funny how we actually had to watch TV shows at a certain time on certain channels during the week. Streaming really revolutionized our entertainment consumption.
The plot twists were never seen at that extent before the show. It was phenomenal.
The ending still confuses me.
@@zdvxr why
Exactly 7 years from January 2007 to January 2014
Quite surprised The O.C was so popular, yet no one outside of America has ever heard of it's existance while Friends was a household name globally.
Came here for this comment. I was obsessed but I can’t quite believe it stayed in the top 10 a whopping five years after it was cancelled for low ratings…
Yea, from what my mum told me, it was the biggest show of its time. And the rating were averaging about 13m per episode. It’s known to be the blueprint for the likes of Gossip Girl, a look into the life of rich kids and their drama.
I remember downloading episodes online, the day after they aired on Fox. It was definitely popular to me, and shaped the year 2003/2004 for me.
It was quite a hit in Europe too. Man the drama when Marissa died was crazy!
Here in Brazil, The OC was a great hit! I used to watch it when I was a teenager and all my friends also loved it
LOST всегда в сердечке❤ особое место в душе. Даже не передать словами... особенно 1 и 2 сезон, это как катехизис
7:26 squid game tho !!! Those numbers are insane . Now that's what u call the world's favorite series not just certain countries or continents !! . And then All of us are dead came in , Korean directors are so underrated man .
Season 6 of Game of Thrones was such a HUGE boost for the show. After the cliffhanger with Jon Snow dying, that fueled a huge amount of anticipation for season 6. That season also had the Battle of the Bastards, which was one of the greatest episodes of the show.
All of that just to be blasted off the page by season 8, the most-watched season, and also the shittiest season. Its insane how a season doesnt need to be great in order to get a huge audience to watch it, as long as they've built enough before that season to create hype, they could sell shit to a pig.
6 wasn’t even a good season of Game of thrones neither was 7. It had been downing in quality since the end of 4
He dies???
@@Nerpson He dies and then hes brought back to life by Melisandre and the Lord of Light.
Season 6 WAS GREAT!!! It's my 2nd fav after S4 @@smallbudoo
I can go over numerous reasons why season 1 2 and 3 are better@@edutainmentplus715
I love how TWD never goes out of trend one of my favorite shows.
It’s interesting to see how much faster the rankings changed around as social media got bigger
After 18 years, FRIENDS is still among top ten 😍
Dang, FRIENDS first came out when my parents still dating in college and now I'm dating in college and still stay in top 10.
You can really see the point in time when everyone started getting into streaming services and watching more television because of how fast the positions start to change.
It’s cool seeing in real time the shortening of everyone attention span
Fascinating how quickly they rise and fall today compared to the early 2000s
Never really thought Vikings was all that popular. Hard to think that it kept latching onto the leaderboard before climbing to the top before being kicked down, but still latching on
Fr I think BlackOps4 was doing something with Vikings & more people tuned in
Drilis Ertugrul making it to the top 3 in Aug 2020 was just incredible considering the audience it had was completely different from the other shows
yes i completed all 5 sezons 😌
Yeah all the radical basterds wanna watch that show and it explains it all.
y it was best german show ever
@@tuna9251 Its a turkish series
@@tuna9251 it a turkısh movie oc
My favorite part of this is seeing how the rise of streaming led to so much more movement on this. Google search volume seems like a weird way to determine the most popular TV shows though.
See how friends is after so many years end still is popular. ...classic
Two global trends are visible in the chart:
1-penetration of the broadband internet in the world (accelerates in 2007-8)
2-that of streaming services from 2015-16. Some series climbed up the list briefly, years after they ended, once they got into and out of Netflix (such as Friends).
That also when 3G and 4G connection came to my country
I miss LOST and GoT. I remember when literally everyone talked about them. LOST was considered and still is considered, one of the greatest TV series of all time and it's a shame it doesn't get spoken about that much anymore. Same with GoT, despite its ending, is still a masterpiece. Shame it has been tainted. Just look at those numbers!
If you haven’t seen Breaking Bad you should prioritise it.
@@criert135 I have seen it, and Better Call Saul. And yes, i also consider them masterpieces. But my comment was about the two popular ones of their time. As amazing as BB is, it never reached the peak of those two shows, unfortunately.
@@GreenFalcon926 In terms of popularity maybe not but it was significantly better than both those shows in my opinion
@@criert135 nah, Better Call Saul even better dan Breaking Bad . For Me Breaking Bad Is really Boring Show
@@ilhamalpha7388wtf BCSaul a water down version of BB matter of fact it was drowning
I love that friends was still up there for years despite it being long over and the oldest one there
I really love the performance of friends. Almost 20 years after the show ended it’s still one of the best.
Lost was such a great show for its time despite the last season. Always good to re watch still to this day
Last season is perfect just like the rest of them
It’s crazy this the vampire diaries was popping out so many time even after five years that it ended in 2017 imo it’s one of the best nostalgic,comfort, and at peace shows to watch
how im longing for a new fantasy medieval series like game of thrones, luckely season 2 of house of the dragon is almost here
6:47 hell yeah, didn’t expect to see Dark on here. Great show
GoT is on it's own level despite its ending, I still think it's the greatest series of our time.
Same
yeah
Friends making a random comeback in 2017 after being out since 2010. Iconic
Probably because it was added to Netflix. Id say.
You can really tell once streaming started the rankings started going crazy
You can see the effects of the streaming services and overflow of New content over the years, as the series started to swap places more often
Lost!! The show that changed television forever absolute masterpiece!
Nope that's the Sopranos and the wire
@@dharshanr3732 the wire season 5 is a dip down in quality a lot and I've yet to watch the sopranos, but lost has bigger impact on tv than the wire
Didn't know TWD was consistently one of the top shows, even surpassed GOT at times!!!🤩🤩 All time favourite ❤️
surpassed only because got took so long to drop new season
@@Mike-in1eh Yeah, that's a point! I was kind of wondering how that happened 😂
Also, TWD was always releasing new stuff...and still is. So it makes sense that it's still constantly being searched. Same with GoT since House of the Dragon news was coming out
@@justinmingus191 twd is over a year ago
@@starlord6819 whats your point? This was till 2022 when it was still on
who wants more of Games of Thrones series
It stands as a testament that friends kept staying on this list decades after it concluded
Beyond proud that The Walking Dead held a #1 position. It is always #1 in my book. Played such a huge role in my teenage years.
@alle mort ya first four yrs were legendary at that 6 got trash real quick
😂😂😂
@@blakemcmahon6539Not true. 7 and 8 are bad. 6 and 9 is good. 10 and 11 are mid
They took it too far for no reason. Then i started despising the show
@@Shockkings0714well, idd argue that 7 and 8 are great, and 9 is mid
This is a testament to how monumental of a show LOST was. Its absolutely crazy to me how people hardly ever mention it anymore. LOST is one of the best shows ever created and I think one of these days its gonna get a massive revival and only then millions of people will realise what they've been sleeping on!
People hardly mention it anymore because we've all already spoken about it. It had it's time, no point speaking about a show i've already watched.
@@Trabsol When I say talk about I don't mean the mondain conversations people have about a show's plot. I mean people using it as an example of excellent writing, recognizing it's significance and it's revolutionary role in the landscape of television. Shows like The Sopranos, a show also known for revolutionizing tv, for example, still gets mentioned more in articles, discussions, essays, ... LOST doesnt really, at least in my experience.
I've watched the entire series twice. It got better the second time during the god/devil era, first time round was a tad confusing.
Probably time to watch it a 3rd time now aha
@@RemyUFOThere have been alot of good shows, even revolutionary shows since, you can't keep talking about the same show forever. No matter how important it might be.
It's not so much about people literally 'talking' about it, as it is about recognition. And yet a show like The Sopranos, which is older, is still mentioned and celebrated often (as it should be). When is LOST ever mentioned or celebrated in that discussion? Hardly ever, right? At least in my experience. And both shows played an absolutely pivotal role when it comes to revolutionizing television. I'd say more so than a show like Breaking Bad. Yet I'm sure the legacy of that show will remain steady. I feel like LOST has slipped away from peoples consciousness, yet not that long ago EVERYONE seemed to be captivated by it for 7+ years. Another great example is FRIENDS, it remains super iconic and is celebrated widely and frequently, almost 20 years after its airtime. Why do I get the feeling that that doesn't happen to LOST? Is it just me? I'm genuinly curious.
However, I do believe that LOST will get a huge revival, like some older shows have gotten over the years mainly because they're made available on popular streaming services.
Every other series just dance around the charts but Friends just stays there... its an amazing sries and my favorite of all times
It's fascinating how the dynamic changed around 2015 - everything before was timid but after 2015 the searching went wild! Really curious what might have been the cause for this shift.
Ive gotta say, seeing Friends still holding on after all these years is a serious feat.
Lost foi absoluta por 7 anos, mesmo tendo acabado, uma série que entrou pra história
é o Beatles das séries em importância
@@diegonexus3082 verdade
Nunca assisti, era boa?
@@raciociniologico2526sim
@@raciociniologico2526 Lost é poético e filosófico. Tem seu declínio como toda série praticamente, mas é uma viagem magnífica.
Friends always there and its amazing how "the O.C." was number one for so many years.
Love how the vampire diaries got such a large fan base even after the final season
As a fan of the very first episode, seeing The O.C. briefly being #1 is so satisfying.
One of my favourite shows ever.
Californiaaaa, here we coooome ❤
Loved it
I was so suprise (and glad at the same time) to see it stay on the top even 7 years after the show ended
Love season 1,2, and the first half of 3. When Marisa dies it’s over for me.
Lost was a masterpiece❤
From season 1 to 3, after that it was a jelly
Most of GOT searches were to help viewers remember character names, and who is in what house, and who is related to who
The fact that TWD and GOT were the only thing people talked about for 2 years and these tv shows were top 1 for years is nuts!
I love TWD and GOT 🖤
Both shows would’ve been fckin *_PERFECT_* had they not fcked up the endings, TWD didn’t have a terrible ending, they just dragged it out far too long.
@impulse15yrago18 TWD is technically still not over. It has to tie up a loose end with a spinoff show (Rick & Michonne), and has another two spinoff that are completely unnecessary 😂 The first is airing and I can't bring myself to watch it
@@aaronmoen7402The Negan and Maggie spin-off is honestly good 🤷🏾♂️
i dont think the spinsoff of TWD are unnecessary.... i think at the end of the megan/negan & Daryl & Michonne/Rick all will find together for a big final, because in everyshow is the same enemy.... CMR :)
Winter is coming 😅😅 The ending was a shame but overall GOT is a great show.
Greatest❤
