Line 9:
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 [[Trope|tropestrope]]s when you're a [[Long Runner]].
 
Not to be confused with [[Overdosed Tropes]], which are the same but inverted.
Line 21:
* [[Buffy Verse]] - Which makes sense considering [[TV Tropes]] has its roots in [[Buffistas.org]], a ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''/''[[Angel]]'' community. Two shows, lasting from 1997-2004, each with a comic book continuation and the limited series ''[[Fray]]'' as well as a Spike spinoff comic. <!-- Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Fray -->
* ''[[Digimon]]'' - Seven anime series and a separate film, five manga and at least thirty video games, almost all within their own [[Alternate Continuity]], and all spawned from the [[Spear Counterpart]] of ''Tamagotchi''. <!-- The pages for the seven anime series, X-Evolution, V-Tamer and Next -->
* ''[[Discworld]]'' - Tons of books in a setting where Stories (and thus many [[Trope|tropestrope]]s) [[Theory of Narrative Causality|are a law of nature]]. <!-- Discworld and all of the books' pages -->
<!-- %%% -->
<!-- %% Doctor Who and related shows/books are listed under Whoniverse -->
Line 36:
* ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' - 40 years worth of shows and movies with only a break in the 90s.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' - [[Disney Animated Canon]] mega crossover video game series. Also has one of the most active shipping fandoms '''ever'''.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' - A [[Long Runner|long running]] and very popular [[Video Game]] series with over a dozen titles, containing at least one [[Alternate Continuity]], several manga as well, and is [[Trope Maker]] for many [[Video Game]] (especially game puzzle) [[Trope|tropestrope]]s. A few games in particular are overdosed in their own right. <!-- all the games, the manga, the TV series, the American comic book -->
* ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' - Over 1000 short subjects lasting from [[The Golden Age of Animation|1930]] to [[The Dark Age of Animation|1969]], [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], dozens of TV projects, [[Long Runner]], [[Cash Cow Franchise]], and nine feature length movies. <!-- The spinoff shows and movies, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E Coyote And The Roadrunner, all of the shorts with pages, The Looney Tunes Show -->

* ''[[Power Rangers]]'' - [[Long Runner]] children's [[Sentai]] series. Helped by its nature. Each year, the cast, story, props, sets, and costumes (and all associated [[Trope|tropestrope]]s) are scrapped and they start clean the next season, making it less like "one show" and more like "17 separate but closely related shows".<ref>Or 14. It didn't start with a whole new cast each season until [[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|the 7th season]].</ref>. And yes, each of the seasons from ''[[Power Rangers Zeo|Zeo]]'' on has its own individual page. <!-- All of the individual seasons and the Non Serial Movie for MMPR. -->

This doesn't mean that these series are actually better, just that more tropers watch them and add examples. Or possibly that [[Entry Pimp|one really, really crazy troper]] watches it and adds examples. Or possibly that the show just happens to have a [[Troperrific|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.
 
For those who want a perfectly accurate count, though, check out [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12928508360A54177000&page=1#1 this] Python script. Correct usage of it will allow you to determine exactly how many wiks a franchise with really complicated cross references (such as ''[[Final Fantasy]]'') has. Note, however, that this page doesn't list exact numbers. We only care about the thousands digit. If you're making a change based on Python data, be sure to mention this in the "edit reason" box.
