I'm just gonna say that I was somewhat aware that the show existed (albeit vaguely, mostly because of the movie from a couple years back), but I was totally blown away at how huge the fandom was at the time after browing Fanlore a while back.

Makes me wonder how popular it would have been had it aired today...

The fact that the show itself hits almost every fandom and fanfic kink, particularly the ones very popular at the time like hurt/comfort and epic guy love, and then ratcheted it all up to about five times higher intensity than most shows would ever go, was probably a big contributor to the size of the fandom.

As for the show's popularity...well, it may seem funny in 2014, but back in the day, it was considered one of the most violent and edgy shows out there. I think the moral guardians regularly had conniption fits over it.

Well, the remake movie was mostly played for laughs and gay jokes, so I don't know...

Buddy shows are still popular, like the Hawaii 5-0 remake, so maybe it would work. :-)

I've read things about how at the time, the show was really popular and "made friendship cool." Like, it was cool to have a best friend and have people refer to you as Starsky and Hutch.
