Feeling bored? Here's a challenge. Find a work 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)

Trope Overloaded (on more than 2000 pages but fewer than 4000)

Trope Overdosed (on more than 1000 pages but fewer than 2000)


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.

  1. Go to the page
  2. Under "Tools" on the page menu, select "What links here"
  3. Count the links

Listings here are alphabetical.


  1. Or 14. It didn't start with a whole new cast each season until the 7th season.
  2. between TOS (3), TAS (2), TNG (7), DS9 (7), VOY (7), and ENT (4), the franchise clocks in at thirty seasons
  3. It's worth mentioning though that Valve has decided to stop doing episodic games, so the likelihood of there ever being an episode three is close to nil
  4. though not necessarily the one from the original arcade game
