This Week's Guest Host: Eileen WildeThe Search for The Simpsons
What is the most popular TV show according to Web users?
Well, it's not some flash-in-the-pan like Survivor, Millionaire, or the beyond boring Big Brother. They may rise quickly to the top, but their reign is short (Survivor's numbers have plummeted since the final episode).
No, the answer is: The Simpsons!
Although the new season hasn't even begun, The Simpsons remain solidly on the Lycos 50 at #27 after 37 weeks on the list.
Here's a breakdown of last week's Simpsons-related searches with the percentage of all queries (sans searches for just "The Simpsons") received by each:
33% Simpsons sounds
25% Simpsons pictures
13.6% Simpsons wallpaper
10.4% Simpsons episodes
7.7% Simpsons screensavers
7.3% Simpsons quotes
3% Simpsons movies
Bratty Bart, once the star of the show, has been eclipsed by his fumbling father: 33% of Simpsons picture searches are for Homer. Homer sound clips are also popular, including queries for his famous "D'oh!"
Even Krusty the Clown and Mama Marge beat out little Bart.
Other famous Simpsons: Jessica Simpson (singer), and O.J. Simpson.
