BEST OF THE BEST

 One of the reasons for creating this blog is that I've watched countless number of TV shows. But even the number of episodes I've watched can't compare to the number of episodes of the world's longest-running TV show. And it's not even "Santa Barbara".

The world's longest-running TV show is "Guiding Light"

Its life began on radio in January 1937, continued on television from 1952 and ended in September 2009. Over the decades, 15,762 episodes were shot. It will take 164 days, 4 hours, and 30 minutes to view the entire history.

By the way, the series is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest-running series released on television. It tells about the life of a priest from the suburbs of Chicago. In the film, you can see Christopher Walken, Ruby Lee, Maura Sorvino, Joan Collins and others.

Also, it is impossible not to say about the most popular TV series of our time - "Game of Thrones". According to the world's largest movie database, IMDb, the rating of this series is 9.5.

This is an American fantasy television show based on the series of novels "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R. R. Martin. Game of Thrones takes place in a fictional world that resembles medieval Europe. The series simultaneously features many characters and develops several storylines. There are three main story arcs: the first is dedicated to the struggle of several influential houses for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms; the second is a descendant of a deposed dynasty of rulers, an exiled princess who plans to regain the throne; the third is an ancient brotherhood that protects the state from threats from the north.

The first episode of the last season was watched by a record number of people - 17.5 million people.

But what can we say about the people who play in these very series? It is extremely difficult to name the most popular actor, because it is impossible to objectively evaluate all these talented people. However, I can tell you about the highest paid one. According to Forbes statistics, the highest-paid actor of 2020 was Dwayne Johnson. For the year, he received $ 87.5 million thanks to a collaboration with the film company Netflix. He starred in their new film, Red Notice. This success was also achieved by cooperation with the Under Armour brand.
