I'm not sure what you mean but I think the most popular type of television show is the reality television show. I think people prefer things that are real yet entertaining as opposed to the sitcom or drama.

I personally prefer the history channel and food network. Still reality in a way.

I think TV genre that has most series and variation is Crime. There are Law and Order, CSI Vegas, CSI Miami, CSI New York, NCIS, Dexter, Criminal Minds, Bones, and many more. Foxcrime is a channel for all crime TV series, and most of cable TV most popular genre is crime genre.

I dont really like it but i think that the most prevalent tv genre is sitcom. It is still most common, but I must admit that most of them are re-runs.

The most popular genre is "junk". About 90% of television fits into this.

TV genres do come and go through the decades.
Westerns were quite big in the 50's, believe it or not.

A genres monopoly of channels at any given time really boils down to profit and ratings.

We would all like to think that ;crime' and 'police dramas' are at the top of the list and they certainly are on the crown, but I would have to say that the 'reality' genre takes the cake.

When the networks realized that they could create these shows with a much smaller budget, they just took off!

Sure people complain about them, but rating never lie.

 
It was fair to choose no best answer
Next time... you might want to be a little more specific on your questions if so that you get the answer you want.
