- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2019
- 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.

Would be much better to snort lines rather than watch them move ;-)

Drugs are so over. It's all about the DATA now. The music is great and it's like watching a horse race. Without the cruelty.
I have to watch these videos on 2X speed
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
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. ✌️
@@luukverhoek4243 nah people too soft… don’t get offended by dumb little stuff that no one is trying to hurt u by… imo that’s y older shows humour was better
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
I feel like those shows aren’t as popular as people think, they just have really loud fanbases
@@Bruh1 exactly just because the show has fans doesn’t mean it’s popular
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.
Who else gets emotionally attached to certain bars and gets upset every time they drop a place
You need to see a psychologist, or a priest, or both..
ActuallyFabio It’s a joke bro, who hurt you
Brendan Berney I get what you mean, I was rooting for Roseanne
I was rooting for big bang theory the whole time. Was surprised and hyped af when it reached the first place. I had no idea it was so popular.
Breaking bad
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
What a joy to watch! A real treat, thank-you for putting in the time and effort you did to produce this; fascinating.
I assumed F.R.I.E.N.D.S would dominate the whole of late 90's and early 2000's but now I find out it never even had as many viewers as CSI? Shocking revelation indeed.
Its must be jsut America. Never heard somebody watching CSI, or just like me before sleep just turn on tv.
Boss Killa Same with Supernatural and yes, The Office. If they did this for people under 40, I think this list would be different.
Dean Winchester yeah, supernatural was só popular. Where’s Supernatural in This list??

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.
@@qwertyuseradmin and the walking dead
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.
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.
Me: looking for the office the whole time

devastating how much TWD declined after 2015
after glenn was killed off it just went wayy downhill
@nikhil. s Show was boring after the first couple seasons. “Guys the disease everyone is infected!” **proceeds to never talk about the disease again** its like a soap opera with dead people.
Devastating? Really? uhm... ok.
How many zombies can you see get decapitated before the premise gets stale?
Haters gonna hate. It was pretty good till the end.
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.
So no one gonna talk about how the simpsons was only there for like a second
Postmalone Pat yep I was thinking the same it’s longest ever cartoon and is always on TV
And where is the nanny??
I was just thinking the same!

I felt so bad, the Simpsons used to be my favourite show 😂
Imagine how much these statistics will change in 2020 because of quarantine
Truuee
I made a similar video recently where you can still see the most popular TV series in 2020 despite the corona virus.
Wtf. The statistics would be the same. Numbers might differ
Imagine how they will change in 2021 when they can't film shows in 2020
The walking dead will rise
The early 90s actually had good wholesome television.
Very interesting, thank you for the video.
Had no idea ER was that consistently popular.

Omg I was literally abt to comment the exact same thing ahahha
simpsons too 😄
are you a robot?
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.
@@QuantumLeap89 Watch it again. Binge it, you might be able to better follow it.

Ramiro Most adult swim shows are like that, R&M just happens to be the most popular
Ramiro Every other year > every year just because of the fact that they have more time to make more quality content
such a good video! thanks
The fact that The Walking Dead is still one of the most top watched shows when it lost many viewerd just goes to show how many of us still loved it
Sorry but after Glenn was killed and the season with the lion king happened it became genuinely stupid and there was no character investment anymore. I hear it got better but that season lost most people

How did The Office never appear on this?
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.
I love how you can tell when the new season of GOT came out lol

I worked at Comcast in 2019, the amount of people that signed up for HBO before game of thrones season 8 came out was incredible. It’s sad how hard it fell off.
the game of thrones fall off is truly remarkable since it was literally the biggest thing in pop culture for years and it all fell apart because of 1 season, at least house of the dragon is good lol
I'm just surprised that so many people watch Young Sheldon and HIMYM, The Office & Brooklyn Nine Nine didn't even appear.
Not to forget parks and recreation... Seems people didnt really enjoy sitcoms in that time as much as today
Ikr, that’s so weird.
Was really expecting Parks and Recs, Office
I think that's a mistake ....
Young Sheldon means shit to me, but HIMYM is one of the best sitcoms ever made.
The Simpsons: Hi
Also The Simpsons: Bye
Same with prison break
The Simpsons did the Simpsons meme of the bar on fire
What’s with South Park
Sten Stienen Where is?
I honestly thought the simpsons were a huge deal in the early 90s but I guess they weren't the biggest fish out there at the time
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.

That was cool-thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Absolutely mind blowing to me how The Office didn't even make an appearance...
Mike Smith I know when 2005 came I was expecting it
Sitcoms don’t really have a massive viewing audience......just shows how successful Big Bang theory and friends is
It’s more popular now than ever lol. I think at the time (like me) ppl didn’t like the idea of a show in the style that it’s presented but once u watch it you realize how much better it’s style makes it
Also Simpsons in late 80s early nineties.
Since it’s about humor most people (like me) don’t find it funny and it’s hard to watch
So everyone watches Young Sheldon but no one talks about it. No memes, no posts, nothing
@Hulk Smash Plays ok star. My condolence that you grew up in such a family, society where they could not teach you how to talk to a stranger. Do not give up, you can learn etiquettes all alone too.

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.

It’s rise and fall, and it’s ending bringing Frasier was epic.
Game of Thrones has been my favorite show since the day I started it. I have watched the entire series 4 times. Twice on my own, once with my dad and once with my sister. 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.

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?
Never expected "Married ... with Children" NOT being in the top ten at all back end of the 80ies, beginning nineties.

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

It’s interestig to see that how in the 80’s and 90’s most of the TV series were produced by a bunch of TV channels, and how this changed when internet and streaming sites became in the mid 00’s.
This is a perfect example of how having the full season of something release at once because for stranger things at the start it sky rockets to practically the top but then goes right back down because everyone has already watched it at once
It was there for a split second there on 2016 😂😂😀
Honestly i thoght it would be much higher
I guess it works for making a lot of money for the company in that year but becomes much more forgettable in the long run than something that you watch weekly for 5 months or so
@@advogadododiabo6940 I believe this is one of the reason why Netflix has started releasing new season by parts (Part 1 and Part 2).
They really would benefit more if they don't release it all at once.
Look at what Disney+ is doing. People got mad at first but, since the shows are good, they eventually loved the weekly episode release.
That's the problem I have with Netflix shows. I used to love binging a show in a few days but now I want to experience it for longer and talk to people about it. With stuff like the Mandalorian or Better Call Saul I'm able to talk with friends/colleagues/strangers about it for weeks/months. Conversations about Netflix shows last a week or 2 at most and then everyone moves on. Even if you spread out your viewings, other people won't so it disappears after that week
@@neszi3 I still hate waiting to watch mandalorian but it is nice being able to watch it every week
Love how Game of Thrones just YEETS itself into the high end of the charts when it first appears and then just sits its ass at the top for 8 years...
T C goes to show how good of a show it was
@@ohyeahyeah9996 the show sucks. Go watch breaking bad
welp when no one shuts the fuck up about it for 8 years it’s bound to happen
@@Blazin_Tundra gotta agree. GoT stayed afloat because of its source material. Otherwise the writers were incompetent.
@@ohyeahyeah9996 Goes to show that it was the *best*
i miss Marriaged.... with children... give Probs to the Wonder years... i grew up with the wonder years... i learned a lot of this...
Only the graphics on the video, but how exciting to watch! What would that mean!
1987-1997 was a show called “Married with children” the Bundy family. I cannot believe that’s not on this top.
same. I loved that show
I was waiting for that one too.
I was surprised to
FOX was not the big network it is now, even in the 90s. The network aired prime time specials about cop chases and alien and moon landing conspiracy theories for ratings.
Or Sex in the City.
Really? Young Sheldon is in the list but The Simpson's and HIMYM are'nt? Did I live under a rock in the last two decades?
@Some One How I Met your mother
some one Who still watches The Simpsons?
The Simpsons were there for a second in 1996 @ 2:18 but I would have guessed that they would have been way more popular in the 90s...
some one the simpsons were on it for a little bit then dropped
some one I was expecting HIMYM on there as well, but as good as the show was and still is my favorite, I realize that there were so many prominent shows that came out at the same time that targeted a wider audience:(
I was surprised the office wasn't even there.
The witcher in 2020 tops
It wasn’t that popular when it was airing it didn’t gain a lot of popularity till it’s last season
@Gerry Buckets well duh its a trash show
@Georgio Khalil appearently it was never even close to the best show and you don't understand how numbers work
@@justynjmsr8684 its one of the most streamed shows on netflix tf
7:17 The fact that GOT held the top position for so long only to flop like hell in an instant really shows how badly the creators f’ed up.
That 1988 lineup is NOSTALGIC
