Thousands seems like a very conservative estimate tbh. The show had millions of viewers and she was on it for over a decade, and it's worth noting that most of it was before Nexflix and Marvel stuff took off, so the selection of nerdy shows was a lot more limited. I'm a little biased :hyperflush:, but ask a group of nerds in 2010 to name a woman on TV that they're into and I could almost promise her name would come up.
