I can already guess what half the board is going to say. These posts are getting old already. Move on to different topics.

Why dont we have a POSITIVE thread for once? Wow, what a change that would be!

American Idol

American Idol has never managed a #1 finish in overall ratings. In the 18-35 demographic, yes, but overall ratings no.

I believe it has always been in the top ten (maybe top five) and this past season one of the weekly broadcasts averaged #2 overall for the season.

I'd have to say Seinfeld, personally. I've just never understood the hoopla surrounding that show.

according to TV Guide, AI was #1 last season, so that gets my vote

tvfan0101 · 07-13-2004, 04:14 PM

Fair enough. I'm looking at two different sources and getting two different answers. I think the problem is that one list is the total viewers and the other is the household rank. Either way, American Idol was darn close to the top so let's say it counts.

That being the case, add American Idol as a #1 show I think is overrated.

Mr. Television · 07-13-2004, 04:20 PM

Friends, American Idol and 60 Minutes.

it's probably like 89-90 and 93-94 again. I know some sources that say Roseanne was #1 in 89-90, and others that say Cosby was #1 that season. And in 93-94, different sources say 60 Minutes and Home Improvement were #1.
