Are you willing to say that Jerry Springer is one of the greatest tv shows of all time? Because they make a lot of money and are very popular...

Great does not equate Fame.

Jerry Springer doesn't make half as much money as 1/16th of the shows on tv and neither do the "actors".
Battlestar Galactica was one of the greatest tv show. it was the most watch tv show when it was on. and i could list fifty other show. i could even list about twenty reality tv shows that make more money and make the ppl on the tv show more famous.

Jerry Springer is not really popular doesn't make alot of money and noone but jerry is famous. so the show isn't famous it doesn't make money and therefore not famous and not grea. bad example for u to give.

Jerry Spring used to get more ratings than Oprah... for quite some time.

I don't know any recent figures, though.

Hell, they even made a movie about the Jerry Spring show and an opera.

That shit was famous for quite some time. Why? Because people like that shit... it's entertaining. But does that make it the greatest? No. Billy Joel is the greatest, even better than a TV show, because he's Billy Joel.

nuff said.

None of this matters, because Billy Joel's genius is greater than truth and reality.

He's that good.

Alright, for one, Jerry Springer is still fairly popular and alot of people know about him still.
For another, by the logic that 'he used to be' equates to 'was great then not now', MJ is not the greatest either by your standards. Linkin Park would be last I checked, as they have (last I checked) sold more albums than any other artist this side of the year 2000.

But no, popularity does not necessarily make greatness. Hell, all these guys could be forgotten in 20 years, and strangely some other band that gets very little attention could last in huge great fame for centuries. Many of the greatest painters, after all, weren't nearly so popular as they are now until after they died. Some were pretty popular in life, granted, though usually not AS popular, but not all even that.

Same goes for most things. Think about it, Abraham Lincoln is popularly (though not universally) hailed in U.S. Legend as one of the greatest americans ever and great makers of what a president should be. Was he popular during his own time? Hell no. Not even all the north liked him. It took years long after his death before he was thought of so highly.

Who knows what really even makes any of this stuff so well remembered or great. The Roman Empire is remembered as one of the greatest Empires/Governments in history. Europe and elsewhere STILL look back to the days of the Roman Empire as a golden age of lasting power and civility and such. Yet, there were many other empires before and during that time that lasted much longer, some that even covered more area. The various Chinese Empires lasted longer with greater conquest and about as much innovation. Egypt and Persia lasted a hell of a long time similarly. The British Empire for a few centuries was on top of the world and Ruled more land than any other Empire in History (I think, i could be wrong about that one honestly, but it was alot). Still though, for many, its the ROMAN Empire that is the ideal.

Nothing's great post. It's exactly what I said about superiority. Much like Greatness the actual meaning is questionable as there's no clear definition on how to figure it out. That makes it open to discussion and often heated debates.
