Let's all agree to continue to celebrate Betty White's legacy every year on her birthday, as long as this world keeps spinning. In honor of this TV legend, today's graph celebrates Betty's IMDB roles (acting + self credits only) over the course of h
Ringing in the new year with a chart celebrating one of my all-time favorites - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend! I wanted to create a visual representation of the show's beyond-impressive 157 original songs, so I decided to pick one image to represent each one,
As a follow-up to the recent Nielsen Top 10 Shows by Genre graph that I made, I also wanted to look specifically at the genres of the #1 Nielsen shows (primetime broadcast network only) from each year. Here are the results! You can still see the sit
Taking a look today at the shows with the most total Emmy wins for Outstanding Comedy Series; the color key here indicates the networks represented. The first graph displays the shows with the most total wins in this category, and the second view sh
This latest graph takes a look at TV shows that won an Emmy for either Outstanding Comedy or Outstanding Drama Series AND also won 3+ major acting Emmys in that same year. There have been ten total instances of this happening since 1970... here they
After making seven graphs (one for each decade!) of Nielsen Top 10 data by genre, I decided to combine all the data into one giant view... here is the result (you'll need to swipe to see the top / bottom of the graph, as this one was too big for just
It's time for the LAST in the series of Nielsen Top 10 genre graphs that I've been doing! I started with the 50s and now am finally up to the last completed decade - the 2010s. For this graph, I split out Sports vs. Reality into their own categories
In honor of the latest episode of @inmyqueuepod (which I had a blast joining for a discussion of all things Friday Night Lights!), I decided I was was overdue for another FNL graph! There's a ton of fun game-related data around FNL to dive into, but
Netflix's new version of #TheMole is such a blast - if you haven't yet watched it, it's a fun reality TV diversion that has a cool detective element to it as well! There's tons of data that can be looked at with this show, but I wanted to take a look
With this summer of Big Brother (US) over, it was time to take a look at the (newly updated) single season competition records (HOH + Veto) across the show's history. Michael from #BB24 impressively ended up tying the single season competition win re
Yes, chef! Has anyone else been watching FX's The Bear? I finished it a few weeks ago, but it's stuck with me (all those kitchen scenes especially!). The very frequent use of "chef" and "yes chef" as the restaurant staff address e
I'm finally getting back to my Nielsen Top 10 genre graphs, by decade... and it's time for the 00s! The comedy drop-off in this decade is staggering (especially compared to the comedy / sitcom domination of the 90s!), and there was a huge rise in bot
Dork confession time: I have been wanting to make this graph for ages! I loved watching 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?' on PBS growing up, and I always thought the final round in particular (where the final contestant runs around putting mar
Hello, 90s! This is my fifth Nielsen Top 10 Data by Program Genre graph... and I'm way too much of a completionist to stop until I've caught up to the present day! The 90s starts off fairly similar to the late 80s with total sitcom domination (but a
I've been wanting to dive into more data around representation and television (both in front of the camera and behind it), and a recent tweet about Better Call Saul inspired me to look at some data around writing credits across both Breaking Bad and
It's time for the 80s, y'all! This is the fourth in the series of Nielsen Top 10 decade graphs that I've made, and I'm so excited that we're finally in the 80s! Here's what immediately stands out: - For the first time across all decades thus far, o
Breaking up the work week with a completely fun and random look at how many times per episode "Zoinks!" was exclaimed on the original 'Scooby Doo, Where Are You?' cartoon television series. Interestingly, the "Zoinks" counts star
Rutherford Falls... I've been meaning to watch it forever, but when I saw the cast & creators were coming to @atxfestival, I accelerated it to the top of my watch list! I'm so glad I did - it is packed with a mix of both humor and depth, with gre
