The Most Hyped UP TV Episode in Television History - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I need help with this. I'm trying to find out if RHODA"S Wedding in 1974 was the MOST HYPED UP EPISODE in TV HISTORY. I think I remember hearing that but I'm not 100% sure. If Anyone knows that would be great.

TJL · 03-31-2004, 08:39 PM

Some others worth mentioning:

The final episode of "M*A*S*H"

The episode of Dallas when they revealed "who shot J.R."

That's a very subjective statement. I don't think anyone could really say for sure. As TJL suggested, the last episode of M*A*S*H was hyped an awful lot, if I recall correctly the National Enquirer was offering $15,000 or so for a copy of the script. And the last episode of Cheers or Seinfeld? Both very hyped.

I'm sure the episode of Rhoda with Rhoda's wedding was hyped, most TV weddings are, but I highly doubt anyone can help you prove that it was the most hyped up ever.

I swear i remeber hearing that Rhoda's Wedding received the most huped or was the most watched episode of ALL TIME.

I don't doubt that you may have heard it. Saying that a particular episode is the most hyped episode of all time is, of course, more hype. I just personally doubt that any one episode of any one show can truthfully claim the title of "most hyped up" episode ever, that's all.

Gotta be Seinfeld's finale. At least that wins for most hyped up let down.

Do you know if TV guide had it on the front cover?

Who Shot JR?

or the finales of Cheers and Seinfeld.

I also heard somewhere numerous times that the finale episode of "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper" got VERY hyped and got HUGE ratings.
I do remember a big deal about it.
But I wouldnt think it was the biggest of all time.

Hangin with Mr. Cooper??????? You got to be kiddin me

Mr. Television · 04-01-2004, 12:15 AM

Hangin' with Mr. Cooper wasn't hyped. ABC aired it in the summer. I even forgot to watch it.

Amen to that...And Cheers is def. on the list there...And it was a pretty big thing when Shelley Long left Cheers in 1987.

treky · 04-01-2004, 04:05 AM

the most hyped shows were:

final episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore show"

"The Stivics go west"-"All in the Family" episode when Mike & Gloria left.

the Who Shot J.R.? episode of "Dallas" (ironically, the final show of "Dallas" didn't get any hype)

final episodes of "Cheers" "Seinfeld" "MASH" & "Newhart"
final episode of "Family Ties"

and next month, you can bet "Friends" & "Frasier" will be on that list.
In fact, I just read on another site that they're going to realese the "Friends" finale on DVD just 5 DAYS!!! after it airs! TALK ABOUT OVERHYPE!!!!!
