Most popular/successful television show of the last two decades (i.e. since 1985)? (1 Viewer)

[Silverstone]

Yeah, I'm not going to go with statistics but The Simpsons, Seinfeld and Friends would have to be up there alongside Cheers.

Other personal notables include (based on the fact a show must be popular to been main stream ridiculed and parodised)
- Fullhouse
- Party of Five
- Dawson's Creek
- 90210
- Melrose Place
- Sesame Street
- Baywatch


And if we talked about all time shows... there's only one answer

Dr Who.

FullHouse - Probably up there in Guilty pleasure factors, and wholesome family stuff.

Party of Five - had its audience, but only went as far as maybe 'Felicity' and not that well.

Dawsons Creek - peaked with seasons 1 and 2, and faded so fast.

Melrose Place - not as popular as...

90210 - There was mass amounts of fans in places around the world - by the millions per country. In Singapore, i remember seeing on the news, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS rampaged the streets to see the cast of 90210. They were SWARMING.

Sesame Street - See prior post.

Baywatch - Billion viewers a week with seasons with Yasmine, Pamela, David, etc = wow. Shitty show, but !
