I was inspired by this graphic of the IMDb ratings for all the episodes of the Simpsons and how it shows the decline of the show.


I wanted to see the same graphic for more shows, and the pandemic has given me lots of free time and a messed up sleep schedule so I made a little program to generate that type of visualization. You can try it out at http://redd38.com/imdb if you want.






Disclaimer: I just did this for fun. If it doesn't work in your weird browser, I don't care.

edit: it's working again now!

Cool. Thanks. I'm actually surprised that some of the shows I thought turned to crap didn't fall off that much in the IMDB ratings.

So s6 is the best with twelve greens....but with the first bad episode of the series.

"Another Simpsons Clip Show" Marge is reading a romance novel and the family reminiscences about old loves.

Pretty cool, but bad data in equals bad data out. It ain't like regular people Simpson fans went to imdb and voted.

I'm sure it's all a bunch of non fans watching seasons of the show and then running to imdb to rate the individual episodes

Yes, Its much more likely that its incels such as yourself. That's how any movie that would pass the bechdel test has a negative imdb user rating before even being released.

Very cool. I looked up HBO's Succession and saw that it goes from yellow to green starting about the 5th episode of season 1, which may explain why so many people love it but also why so many people can't get into it.

Edit: I like how you highlight the top-rated and bottom-rated episodes. Strange that the last episode of MASH only rated an 8.8, even though it's the most-watched broadcast of all time.

Edit 2: I looked up Happy Days which "jumped the shark" in the 3rd episode of season 5. Sure enough, it's definitely greener before that!

Really cool. Wife and I are planning to finish True Blood because we never watched S7. It's a silly, ridiculous show but a guilty pleasure. Man, people really hated the series finale.

I made some updates today, the shows that didn't work previously should work now. It also handles episodes without ratings now. I changed the coloring some too, and now you can hover over an episode to see the title and click on it to go to it's IMDb page

One yellow and I wanted to see what episode it was because I figured I knew which one... just found out if you click on it that it sends you to the IMDb episode /mindblown

Stranger Things has just one bad episode, and everyone knows what it is.

Justified with a few just barely yellows but the last season is the best rated. One of the few shows that just got better over time.

Plus all the season finales are some of the highest rated

I think IMDb shut me down. Hopefully it's just for a day, I've got it storing data in a database now so it's not making so many requests to IMDb


edit: it's working again! I added season averages to the bottom too

Top Gear...good god season 23...

Why didn't they just let it go after 22? Recasting something like this should have been grounds for a public flogging.

Some interesting ones:

Two and a Half Men: http://redd38.com/imdb/?title=tt0369179
Absolutely tanks after the 8th season

2 Broke Girls: http://redd38.com/imdb/?title=tt1845307
A phenomenal number of episodes are tied for worst rating, very little variance in the ratings in general

Scrubs: http://redd38.com/imdb/?title=tt0285403
Terrible last season, but worst episode is a clip show right in the middle... clip shows are always the worst

Top Gear: http://redd38.com/imdb/?title=tt1628033
As WoMD said, season 23 is impressively bad

Here's a fun one...

Saturday Night Live: http://redd38.com/imdb/?title=tt0072562
This shows the last decade or so has been better than the decade or two before that

In the last 14 season there have been 13 episodes rated 8.2 or higher, Justin Timberlake is in 5 of those 13.

So, it's weird. The Dinner Party on The Office was not well received originally, but now it's considered one of the best. Is that taken into account,

Back pre streaming, tuning into your favorite weekly show only to be slapped in the face with a clip show was infuriating.

And that episode, the only mildly yellow one, is fantastic.

People hate on Fly but I always loved it.

Another cool one - http://redd38.com/imdb/?title=tt5753856

Bright green all around for Dark.

What a masterpiece.

Friends was one of the worst with this.
