yay for "Roseanne" (12) and "The Brady Bunch" (14)

JulieSomoski · 09-03-2007, 10:54 AM

Wow, thanks for doing that! Very interesting to look at. I'd say the most interesting thing of it all is That's so Raven, a Disney series, ranks number 4.

Buffyboy323 · 09-03-2007, 12:46 PM

Even before I opened this thread, I had a feeling The Facts Of Life and Three`s Company would be the top 2. Those boards are always very active.

This is an interesting list. You can really see how diverse SO is. There's something for everyone on that list. Thanks for posting Adam.

interesting to note that while friends was one of the most successful sitcoms of all-time, it is ranked as low as 25 in terms of the number of threads being made on that post on S.O. also interesting is that frasier isn't even on that list

Adamantium · 09-03-2007, 04:00 PM

What surprised me was "Happy Days" being so high up on the list. I didn't realize how active that board is.

And for the record, "Frasier" was number 30. It just seems like you do top 10 or 25 lists, so that's why I only listed the top 25.

"That's So Raven" surprised me at first. But once I got thinking about it, I realize we have a hard-core fans of that show and it makes sense to me that the board for the show would have a lot of posts in it.

ah, i see why frasier wasn't on the list. i'd presumed it wasn't ranked at all but as you said you only listed 25 sitcoms

When I first came here HD was one of the most active boards on SO. It's slowed down a lot since then though.

I'm surprised at "That's So Raven" being so high up, but not suprised at all about Three's Company or Happy Days. The Facts of Life being number one? Well, that's just a fact of life.

freshprinceofLA · 09-03-2007, 09:58 PM

wow I'm also very surprised about that's so raven I did not know that much people like it. WOO who's the boss? is at 16 in the top 20 glad to hear it!

OH Nuts! · 09-05-2007, 12:56 AM

Thx for great info!! But......Lucy so low? What a blow

SBTB Geek · 09-06-2007, 04:15 PM

I'm not surprised about Raven. There were 4 trolls flooding that board a few years ago.

FOL @ #1 and rightfully so--one of the best sitcoms ever. Underrated even.

Furienna · 09-06-2007, 05:27 PM

The only board out of those twentyfive, that I visit regularly, is "The Cosby show". And I haven't even watched most of those shows. They don't all come to Sweden, you know. Oh, well...

Classicshowsgurl15 · 09-09-2007, 08:48 PM

Woo hoo! Who's the Boss? is 16. Yay!! I'm glad that the Happy Days board is active.
