- Опубліковано 28 лис 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.

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
Can't believe I just spent 8 minutes watching lines move...
Would be much better to snort lines rather than watch them move ;-)
@@Joel_Knox watch them move into your nostril would've been a better thing to say

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.
2018: “Game of Thrones kinda sucks now. Let’s stop watching it.”
2019: “Well, it’s even worse now, but I gotta at least watch the ending.”
there was a one year break :D
@@cotillion just started watching i'm in episode called. “Lord Snow”
THE MANDALORIAN
zentazym1 in 2018 they were stopped
@@sp1nks248 Okay does this have anything to do with the comment lol
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.

07:33 Watch 'Stranger Things' rise....First two Seasons were Great. The third went over-board.
@@amolghadigaonkar2114 but when it comes the third season was when stranger things becomes one pf the most popular shows in the world
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.
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
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.

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.
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.

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.
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

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.
These info graphics are great because they remind me of how much I don't want to go back in time.

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.
It would easily be my all time favorite show if it weren't for seasons 7 and 8
Lol. Nothing to do.
@CluelessBird101 Tbh the show started going downhill before that. Season 6 was really iffy.

Ramiro LMAOOOO..... you’re right
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
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.

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.

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

Young Sheldon means shit to me, but HIMYM is one of the best sitcoms ever made.
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
Same with the simpsons
It’d be interesting to see a graph like this that includes both international audiences and rewatch numbers. While they apparently weren’t popular at the time, shows like The Office and Peaky Blinders are cultural phenomenons today, and whilst I don’t speak for the whole world I remember here in Australia during the early to mid 2010’s, as far as tv shows were concerned all anyone really talked about was Walking Dead, GoT and Breaking Bad

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.

2004 to 2008 when Lost dominated the television. One of my favourite tv shows ❤
Very curious, what is the bg music? But, wondering that for awhile. Thanks for the video.
Surprised I didn’t see How I met your mother or the office
Emilio Braune they all really blew up when they hit netflix
Or that Stranger Things didn't rose higher.
But that's advertisment/marketing at work : making us believe what we are watching BIG. When numbers, well... don't add up.
mattis chastan stranger things never stayed up because they release the entire season at once so it shoots up then automatically drops back down til the next season drops
Same with me im so surprised that young sheldon have fan mor than himym
Or glee
Didn’t expect to see the Mandalorian grow so fast
*I mean, this is the way*
I have spoken
This is the way
this is the way.
NO I HAVE SPOKEN
Don't you agree?
Love ya Data 🎈❤️
Glad to see the sopranos up there, was a little surprised not to see the wire
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.
And how i met your mother jajajaj
That 70s show , Was in top #40
I thought I would see malcom in the middle
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
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.
Cosby Show dominated the 1980's
it's beautiful how we can see exactly when a game of thrones season come out
Yea
Goes to show the results long term story telling can get. Even with the drop off in quality it still did incredible ratings because people were so invested.
yeah coz of nudity.
@@gamerboi8092 never seen it right?
And when the Mandalorian came out
6:54 Stranger Things "hello, ok bye"
xDD
Not surprising considering the binge watching model that Netflix uses
It comes back at the end. :)
@@john8314 yeah , and comes back strong
Even though it’s a cringe show with bad CGI, it got really popular.
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.
ER held that top spot for quite a few years here and stayed on the list for a huge amount of time.... Great show that is still in syndication!!!
Top. Educating, entertaining and I love the acting, the portrayed images, the various cases.
@@byealex7607 Agreed 100%
Was surprised that supernatural was not in that list loved that's series
