Trope Overdosed

Feeling bored? Here's a challenge. Find a page on this site that doesn't reference at least one of these series.

Being Trope Overdosed indicates how popular a series is among The Contributors. The longer a series has been around has an effect. It's not hard to use a lot of tropes when you're a Long Runner.

Not to be confused with Overdosed Tropes, which are the same but inverted.

Trope Saturated (on more than 4000 pages)

 * Avatar: The Last Airbender - Pretty impressive for a 3-season, 61-episode TV show without that much in the way of supplementary material.

This doesn't mean that these series are actually better, just that more tropers watch them and add examples. Or possibly that one really, really crazy troper watches it and adds examples. Or possibly that the show just happens to have a really, really high trope quotient while a show you don't see on here doesn't.

A brief note on methodology. To determine a work's ranking under Trope Overdosed, you can take the "related to" number of the page related to a series that has the most references.

Listings here are alphabetical. If you are wondering what the previous statistics were, there is now an archived page.
