Fanpop's Top Five Fan Spots

Fanpop is a newer social networking site which allows users to create 'spots' for whatever they are fans of. A Fanpop spot is essentially a mini fan site. Fans have the ability to upload videos and pictures, share links to favorite sites, write articles, start forum discussions, among other things. Obviously, most fan spots are created to feature pop culture topics (movies, television shows, actors and actresses, etc...), but these Fanpop spots are not limited to these topics. Thetop five Fanpop spots, as one would imagine, encompass these pop culture interests.

The Office (US) Fanpop Spot
"One big happy family at Dunder-Mifflin office in Scranton, PA."
The most popular fan spot on Fanpop is dedicated to the U.S. version of the television show, The Office. I am sure this comes as no surprise to fans of The Office, considering its sleeper rise to cult hit status on NBC. The Show: A documentary film crew is sent to a paper manufacturing and sales company in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to film the daily lives of its employees. The Office on NBC is based on Ricky Gervais' original British comedy by the same name. The Fan Spot: The Office (US) fan spot features fun and addicting attractions like 'The Official The Office Finish the Quote Game' forum discussion and fan picks, which are user created polls, debating who Pam should end up with or which Office employee deserves to be fired.

Heroes Fanpop Spot
"Although unaware of it now, these individuals will not only save the world, but change it forever."
Coming in at a close second to The Office (US) Spot is the fan spot devoted to devotees of, yet another, NBC hit, Heroes. The real shocker about the Heroes fan spot being number two on this list, is that it is not the number one spot on the Fanpop network. If you consider the huge internet following Heroes has established, by all accounts, it would be assumed it would have the strongest following on Fanpop. The Show: Heroes follows the story of a group of ordinary humans, who have discovered they have been born with super-human abilities; ala X-Men style. The Fan Spot: Interesting content on the Heroes Spot includes an interview with Tim Kring, creator of Heroes, and nicely blended pictures of the Heroes main characters.

Grey's Anatomy Fanpop Spot
"You can check us into Seattle Grace Hospital anytime."
ABC finally scores a Fanpop hit with the Grey's Anatomy Spot, coming in third on Fanpop's most popular spots list. The Show: Grey's Anatomy is an ABC dramedy about a group of medical interns at Seattle Grace Hospital, namely Meredith Grey, the show's title character. The Spot: Many fan music videos and fan picks debating who fans would rather have treat them at Seattle Grace Hospital, with intern Christina coming in the lead so far.

Scrubs Fanpop Spot
"This is the reason why your headache didn't go away: That's actually pronounced analgesic, not anal-gesic. The pills go in your mouth."
In what is turning out to be a 'Best-of-NBC' listing, the fourth most popular fan spot on Fanpop belongs to the NBC sitcom, Scrubs. When talking about cult television shows, Scrubs is definitely a show that tops almost any list. The Show: Scrubs is another medical show that followed three friends as they started interning at Sacred Heart Hospital, and continues to follow them in their personal and professional lives. Fans obsession with Scrubs stems from the show's oddball comedy, which usually features fantasy daydreams by the shows main character, J.D. The Spot: Fans love to debate and discuss Scrubs series finale, which is featured in fan picks, links, forums, and soapbox articles.

House MD Fanpop Spot
"The cure for the common medical drama."
The final fan spot in our Fanpop top five listing features another, highly popular, medical drama, House MD. The Show: Brought to us by FOX, this medical drama takes a slightly different look at the genius doctor character. Gregory House is a brilliant doctor, who happens to be an egotistical, Vicodin addict, that seems to be able to solve any medical mystery thrown in front of him and his team of students. The Spot: Fans enjoy discussing the shows upcoming season in the forums, while debating who has the best accent in the fan picks; Hugh Laurie, a British actor, comes in the lead with his fairly convincing American accent.

These are the top five most popular Fanpop spots, according to the membership numbers of each spot. If you do not see your favorite show or obsession featured on this list, the only thing you can do is to sign up at Fanpop and create your own spots. Warning: Once you become a user at Fanpop, it becomes a highly addictive hobby, which is probably a good reason there is a Fanpop Fan Spot on the site.
