Love this. You can really see how some series took a while to get their feet under them.

Star Trek: TNG http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0092455

Deep Space 9: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0106145

Enterprise: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0244365

Or in each season

Game of Thrones: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0944947

Or took a while to hit their stride, then left right after the peak Seinfeld: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0098904

Had a story arc: B5 http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0105946

Or were clearly failing:

Andromeda: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0213327

Sliders: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0112167

Futureama: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0149460

Or are experiencing a revival

I wish this could be correlated against ratings data.

And or course: Dr. Who http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0056751

edit:

Also Law & Order http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0098844

and Law & Order SVU http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0203259

and Law & Order CI http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0275140

and the Stargate series

Funny thing: all star treks except TOS end up higher than they started!

I just worked by way through TNG and DS9. TNG took a while to get it's legs...in today's environment it wouldn't have lasted past season 2. But then it became great television for the rest of the run.

DS9 started pretty solid, and became one of the best written pieces of sci-fi TV quickly for a long time.

The 'Red Wedding' episode of Game of Thrones was the best single show rating I could find - 9.9! http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0944947 The 4th episode of True Detective was 9.8. http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt2356777 Check out this outlier on Dexter's last season lol http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0773262

Breaking Bad episode Ozymandias (s05e14) has a rating of 10!

Nostalgia wins, for the Simpsons at least. I sometimes feel this way about TV in general (early stuff is better). Example (circa 1967-1968): http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x12sekq_the-prisoner-arriva... BTW, I was born in '84 and not 1884. ;-)

I think with regards to the Simpsons it's just that it was better quality pre-2000 or whatever. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096697/reviews?ref_=tt_urv you can read through the reviews and see several good points about it.

Interesting that for each season of Breaking Bd, episode 4 is the worst rated.
