Okay, so I wanted to figure out what TV shows were all the rage back in 2011. It’s kinda fun to look back and see what everyone was watching, you know?
First, I fired up my trusty old browser. Seriously, this thing is ancient, but it still works!

Then, I typed in “popular tv shows 2011” into the search bar. I mean, where else would I start, right?
My Research Process
- Opened the browser.
- Searched for “popular tv shows 2011”.
- Scrolled through a bunch of websites. A lot of them were just lists, which was kinda what I was looking for.
- Noticed some websites that I visit often also appears.
- Jotted down the names of the shows that kept popping up. You know, the ones that were on, like, every single list.
It took a little bit of digging, going through different pages and stuff. Some sites were better than others, of course. Some were all flashy and annoying, while others were super simple and easy to read.
After a while, I started to see a pattern. Certain shows were definitely more popular than others.
Finally, I had a pretty good list of the shows that were, apparently, super popular in 2011!
