1. The longest
So, the moment of truth. Which series can be considered the most long-playing? The answer was found no less than in the Guinness Book of Records. The American series "Guiding Light" or, as it is translated, "Guiding Light" about the life of a priest from the suburbs of Chicago. The series started in the middle of the last century - in 1952 and ended in this century, in 2009. At the time of closing of the project the series already had 18262 episodes. And these are only TV series! The project started as a radio show in 1937, that is, before the release of the screens it was broadcast for 15 years.
2. The most linguistic
"The Game of Thrones, of course, we couldn't ignore. After all, the series is discussed, discussed and discussed, it is confused, revised, re-read, penetrated and composed of memories. And what noise did the ninth episode of the third season make? All social networks moaned about the loss of faith in people. But that's not what we're talking about now. And about the language, the characters of the film speak - Dothraki. Obviously, there is no such language in real life. It was invented specially for the series by professional linguist David Peterson. He made up a dictionary of two thousand completely new words - about as much as the vocabulary of the first-grader.
3. The most popular science fiction genre
The series "Doctor Who" - it is not about robots, not about space travel and not even about life in the future. It is about the time traveler, the Doctor, who is incredibly intelligent, erudite and eccentric. His place in the Guinness Book of Records is due to his exceptional success. First, it is the longest science fiction series - since 1963, filmed more than 800 of his episodes. Secondly, judging by the series's worldwide sales on CD, TV ratings and downloads from iTunes, Doctor Who was voted the most successful science fiction series in the history of cinema. The series isn't over yet, so it's sure to have records. For example, the number of actors who played the main character. Now they are 11.
4. The most popular
Popularity is subjective in many ways. However, one cannot argue with an expert opinion. And experts claim that the most popular series of the decade is Dr. House. And I don't want to argue. All the more so since the Guinness Book of Records still holds the record. The series about a brilliant doctor with a bad character for 9 years of broadcasting watched by more than 80 million people in 70 countries around the world. However, after the 4th season, the popularity of the TV film began to decline.
5. The most stylish
Here, many people probably thought about "Sex and the City" and Sarah Jessica Parker, who managed to take his title of fashion legislator out of the show in ordinary life. She is still considered an icon of style, although from time to time she allows herself to dress completely unpresentable. However, the fashion record belongs to the series "Gossip Girl". After the end of filming, the stylists of the project calculated how much money was spent on the wardrobes of the heroes, and received a staggering amount of $ 20 million! Some dresses were taken away by actors, and the rest of the collection of thousands of dresses, skirts, shirts, and trousers will be sold at auction. The money will be used for charity.
6. The most honest
"Fool me" or "Theory of Lies" with the magnificent Tim Roth in the title role claims to be the most honest series. According to the psychologist Paul Eckmann, whose book is based on the film, 80 percent of the events taking place on the screen, took place in real life. And he can be trusted because Professor Eckmann is a recognized expert in the theory of deception. He consults well-known politicians, entrepreneurs, and even security research institutes, telling them how to accurately identify the liar. However, according to the same professor Eckmann, the remaining 20 percent of what is happening on the screen - a complete nonsense. But there is more truth.
