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: h…

Your Enterprise link goes to TNG again. And somehow I was sure Andromeda kept going for 7 seasons, it was just so bad I wasn't even keeping track anymore.

It's quite weird;used to remember that the recent highlight in a rather dull decade "Steal this Episode" was being rated higher.

11% 1 star ratings with a pretty remarkable demographic distribution. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2966850/ratings

In general an alternate IMDB algorithm probably would give a truer image if you clip of the extreme ratings 1 and 10 before averaging, thereby getting rid of most fanboy/rage votes.

This is great! Here's a few interesting ones I've come across: * The Wire ( http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0306414 ) Known for being a slow starting show, this is visible with the season trend lines. * The Shield ( http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0286486 ) Season 4 is such a massive outlier. * Seinfeld ( http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0098904 ) Held very steady until the last season.

And, of course, Breaking Bad: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0903747

This is most impressive one I found too

IMDb does do some type of weighting to the votes, but they don't release their method.

Oh my, I could spend hours with this!

'Sopranos' has the same 'Season 4' problem as 'Shield':

The massive drop in Twin Peaks after the murderer is revealed:

The awful last season of 'Dexter':

And that's how you do a last season (Six feet under):

Fixed, thanks.

Andromeda really only had five seasons. I think it went episodic in Season 3 or 4 after blowing its load on the major story arc (putting together the federation^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h commonwealth again). It was never a great show, but fine to put on in the background while I was doing other stuff. But then it got really really bad and I don't even think I ended up finishing it.
