Where To Watch
Can you name the top show for each TV season?
These top-rated shows might surprise you.
From September to May, new episodes of our favorite TV shows debut in primetime every week. When it's all said and done, one is crowned the winner in the Nielsen ratings.
Thanks to syndication and reruns, a lot of shows that originally failed to chart high in the ratings are now more popular than ever. On the flip side, some shows that peaked at number one are now largely forgotten.
Let's see if you remember the most popular shows in primetime's past. We'll give you a season. You guess which show ranked at the top. Good luck!

I got half of them right. I'm too young to have ever watched some of them, and as for the rest, the "most popular show" for a given season was rarely the show I actually liked watching.
You got 6 out of 10 correct
You might have been tripped up over a few questions, but that okay. It means you watch all of the popular TV shows, not just the ones at number one! Got 1-6 right but messed up on the final 4.
