flatluigi posted:i've always really wondered the demographics of people who go and rate stuff on imdb. is it like, integrated into something people use to watch tv on or do they really have roving gangs of dedicated raters that judge every tv episode they ever watch That does also raise the interesting question about nostalgia given that those early seasons would have to have been rated retroactively rather than reflecting how people felt about them when they originally aired. They get the added benefit of hindsight in how well an episode has aged vs. people making a snap judgement based on their immediate reaction. I was curious and looked up those two "bad" rated episodes from the first 10 seasons and they were both clip shows, which makes total sense from a nostalgia perspective because like, that's just useless filler to someone who can just watch any episode they want any time they want thanks to DVD releases and streaming. Memento posted:I assume that 3.9 is the Lady Gaga episode? Yeah, I looked that one up as well when I was checking the other two since I was pretty certain it was gonna be that one. I haven't even seen that episode (I haven't watched The Simpsons in years) but it's infamous enough that it was pretty easy to guess what the lowest rated episode in the whole series was gonna be.

The 4.6 from last season was an episode in which Bart goes full incel “girls ruining itchy and scratchy”.

Memento posted:I assume that 3.9 is the Lady Gaga episode? Yup, season 23 episode 22, "Lisa Goes Gaga". The other rating in that colour is s30e18, "Bart vs. Itchy & Scratchy". I do not know what exactly made that so hated but the synopsis on wikipedia contains the word "feminism" so i simply refuse to attempt to read the internet discourse about it E: beaten harder than the dead horse of The Simpsons E2: to be fair the clip shows were pretty disliked when they aired, so it might not 100% be about nostalgia streaming Angepain has a new favorite as of 01:17 on Apr 8, 2020 |

I once walked through little Italy in Manhattan and counted at least four different restaurants advertising “the best cannoli in the world”

There's a bunch of weird poo poo with the underlying IMBD reviews though. Like Blowfish is the best rated ep in Season 2? Season 1 was good? Narrator: it wasn't

There are a surprising amount of weird functions and graph styles. I especially appreciate matplotlib.pyplot.xkcd() By the way, I found a screenshot I made a few years ago. It's the interface of a large commercial PBX and it has a graphing function. Someone got it into their head that what graphs needed were 3D. And animation (?).  I have no idea how to read this.

To be fair. Every time someone goes in blind and watches the Simpsons for the first time the general consensus still is that the show starts to take a big dive in season 9.

IMDB's been around for... exactly 30 years (fuuuuk) and although the ratings probably don't go that far back, there are plenty of shows or movies that got reviewed originally 20+ years back too, so it would be quite interesting to compare the original scoring with current. I've actually duf hrough their dataset (you can download some databases dumps) but the scores they expose are already aggregated.

Why would anyone include clip show episodes to reruns? Does syndication actually demand this?

Der Kyhe posted:Why would anyone include clip show episodes to reruns? Does syndication actually demand this? Simpsons clip shows had enough original material in them as well that they're worth watching. In actual answer to your question, probably they do demand if you're syndicating a show you play them all and in order.

I'd never heard the phrase "alligator tears" over "crocodile tears" and when I heard it in You should be sad by Halsey, I googled it to see yeah, some people use it. Then, since I was curious, I looked to see if anyone else did something similar: At risk of drawing a causative relationship where there isn't one, the song did come out on January 10th (and then the album was released the 17th).
