Yeah, that's always been the debate... Production order vs. original airdate.
Some series, like Firefly, needed to be released in production order, and were. Some, like Star Trek: TOS or Sliders, should have been released in production order because of the changes that happened in the first episodes, and weren't. But for the majority of classic sitcoms and dramas, it doesn't really matter which was used, because there was no major story-arc to interfere with.
But this "most popular" thing... it's a new one on me, and one I hope to never see again.
