I miss LOST....
ReplyDeleteI even miss Phil.
Yay for HIMYM!
ReplyDeleteHeroes at #4? Really?
ReplyDeleteNope, no surprises
ReplyDeleteAww Lost I will forever love you
ReplyDeleteLOST BABY.
ReplyDeleteA lot of more recent shows here. Though I suppose that isn't surprising.
Dunno how they came up with that but happy to see LOST on the top.
ReplyDeleteThe only one that surprises me is Gossip Girl and that is only mild shock since it has such a rabid following on this site and his been around for a long time now.
ReplyDeleteIn its first season Heroes was the most watched show in THE WORLD.
ReplyDeleteSo it should not be too big of a surprise really.Although if this was about overall quality I would be SHOCKED to see it in the top 10 in the last 10 years! XD
Every time I see Patrick Fischler on any show I always say aloud "PHIL!" XD
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but Gossip Girl? really?
ReplyDeleteLost and Grey's are on there, so I'm happy!
ReplyDeleteMad Men? Breaking Bad?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it boggles the mind how quickly they destroyed that show.
ReplyDeleteGossip girl, glee, heroes????????????? really??????????????
ReplyDeletethis only show 2 things. imdb is crazy or we really only have crap shows on the past 10 yrs
3 and 4 surprised me...
ReplyDeleteand the absence of bsg
It goes to show that a good concept is nice, but not enough. A series needs a good showrunner too. One that knows how to pace a series!
ReplyDeleteLost is in first,so i am really happy.
ReplyDeleteHalf of this list is invalid.
ReplyDeleteHIMYM :)
ReplyDeleteGossip Girl? Seriously? I wouldn't have listed that in the top 10
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a list of the best/favorite/popular shows, just a measure of page hits which can have any number of causes. For example, Glee might have tons of page hits due to people looking up guest stars and such.
ReplyDeleteLMAO, no.
ReplyDeleteFor a second I thought I read best shows, but that would have been a huge joke with shows like Glee or Gossip Girl. People like crap, so I'm not surprised by this list.
ReplyDeleteThe Sopranos? The Wire? Breaking Bad? The Shield?
ReplyDeleteI'm not too surprised by any of these, and I expected to see Lost at the top.. the only one that kind of surprises me is Gossip Girl.
ReplyDeleteHey there's no accountability for taste.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet my sweet ass if they did that with movies Twilight would be on that list.
That was the only thing that honestly surprised me.. I cocked my head to the side and said "Huh?"
ReplyDeleteHey! Glee is a great show, well, was... in season one... the first half... maybe
ReplyDeleteyeah, now it's pretty much crap.
And honestly, I have never seen an entire ep of GG, I fell asleep when I checked a s1 episode. Not really sure what is about.
Where are Friends and The Big Bang Theory I wonder...
ReplyDeleteWhere is NCIS?
ReplyDeleteWell, I do consider the IMDB boards the place were faith in humanity is taken to the back alley, shot point blank, and stripped of its sneakers.
ReplyDeleteFriends went off the air 8 years ago. This list is largely driven by people interested in where the actors came from or where they have moved on to since then. Longer running shows with big casts tend to have an advantage.
ReplyDeleteThe average NCIS viewer isn't even aware IMDb exists.
ReplyDeleteI beg your pardon..I think i have to disagree with you on that one..
ReplyDeleteLove your comment! :)
ReplyDeleteHm.. But can this list really be used as a popularity ranking? I've visited imdb lots of times for shows and movies I didn't watch. But it's an interesting list
ReplyDeleteHow did Glee make this list but not The Wire?? Its beyond me and quite disheartening..
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree. I know IMDB exists, I just don't care. :-p
ReplyDeleteJust happy about Lost (no surprise at all), but I can't believe Glee and Gossip Girl were more viewed on their site for the last 10 years than some other great shows, with so many fans, like Friends, The Sopranos, The Shield...
ReplyDeleteAlso I'll be always a little sad that a show like Flashforward isn't on any list at all...
My best guess is that since its based on how many page views there are per show it may be less about popularity and perhaps more about seeing who the guest stars are, or clarifying something like that. To me it doesn't make sense either for pure fan base.
ReplyDeleteWow - neither Smallville nor any of the Stargate Series made it, nor FRINGE! I'd think they'd get hits if only for longevity. I wonder what TV.com's list would be in comparison...
ReplyDeleteok, correct me if I'm wrong, but no Fringe (admittedly, I don't watch this show, but all the hype from the critics and fans and...). And how the hell does Glee make it? and heroes?
ReplyDeleteThe typical NCIS viewer doesn't visit sites like imdb, as proven by the fact that it isn't on that list. Same apparently goes for all the very popular CSI type shows. Obviously that doesn't apply to all the viewers. That isn't meant as any sort of insult. It is like Jini says below, they just don't care.
ReplyDeleteActually, I did use IMDB when I was watching The Wire. There were so many characters I had to keep checking to see who was who.
ReplyDeleteI really was just giving you a hard time,but i meant it in a nice way,i forgot to add the smiley face at the end..... :D
ReplyDeleteSorry!
Lost, Hero and Glee, God Lord, i can't believe.
ReplyDeleteIt makes complete sense for fan base. Gossip Girl has one of the LARGEST fan bases (yes, they're not as outspoken as the Supernatural fan base or as rabid as the Lost fan base was), and its proven when you look at the DVR numbers and the fact that the episodes are always on top of the iTunes chart the day after. Gossip Girl used to be a GREAT show. One of the only teen dramas with wit and class...now many of us (like myself) watch just for Chuck and Blair.
ReplyDeleteAs for the list...excited to see LOST, HIMYM, and Dexter!
Guys, this is the top 10 MOST VIEWED on IMDB
ReplyDeleteIt's not somebody's opinion.
Boy do people have garbage taste.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that quality shows like Arrested Development, Breaking Bad, The Wire and Firefly don't get more views.
yay for grey's, true blood and Gossip girl!
ReplyDeleteLost and Dexter OK... and maybe also True Blood... but what about the others? Are they serious?
ReplyDeleteWhere are "Friends"?
