The most popular shows of all time that people can't stop talking about - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I had a little time on my hands so I decided to conduct a little survey. I scanned the message boards to see which shows were getting the biggest responses from the most people. In general, these may not be the shows that people would watch the most, but the ones that people love to talk about the most, which in turn only serves to enhance their popularity and make them more desirable to watch. So here they are. The results may surprise you since they certainly shocked the heck out of me. The shows are arranged in this order:

rank/name/ (number of threads/number of posts)

All totals are as of today.
