What are the most popular TV shows?

Answer 1

A little vague, depending if you mean most famous as in the most watched or the show the most people know of but not necessarily watch.

If it's the latter, then the answer can't possibly be known without doing extensive research, if it's the former, famous in which year? which decade? what genre?

The closest thing to you answer is to check the provided link.

Answer 2

There isn't a singular "Most Popular" TV show since ratings vary from week to week, month to month, year to year. Then of course are you referring to Network, Cable, Syndicated shows... are you speaking of the Summer season or during the Fall seasons when all the new shows appear.

Also you have to factor in location, the most popular in America, the U.K., Australia, Botswana? It's very hard to determine the "Most Popular" with something as generic as a 'TV Show' when there are and have been thousands of TV Shows through the years and from around the world.

Now, having said all that... American Idol holds the record for the most consecutive spots at Number 1, but that's only for 8 years so it's not necessarily THE most popular.

The best thing you can do is visit the provided link each week and view the Nielsen ratings each week. Naturally of course these are the numbers for America only.

Naturally the numbers will change from season to season but currently, at the end of the 2011-2012 season, the most popular shows (i.e. number of total viewers) are...

1. Sunday Night Football: 20.74 million
2. American Idol Performance Shows: 19.81 million
3. NCIS: 19.49 million
4. American Idol Results Shows: 18.33 million
5. Dancing with the Stars Performance Shows: 18.24 million
6. Dancing with the Stars Results Shows: 16.08 million
7. NCIS: Los Angeles: 16.01 million
8. The Big Bang Theory: 15.82 million
9. The Voice: 15.77 million
10. Two and a Half Men: 14.64 million

As of 2014, the most popular television show in America is the Big Bang Theory.
The most popular t.v shows on ABC Family right now are Pretty Little Liars and Switched at Birth.
