Two Years of Stats:

Overview of Data

• I got this data mostly from IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes

• Disclaimer for stats nerds: There are limitations to the data that I’m not really going to go

into since this is just for fun— just know that this is more of an exploratory analysis of

general trends, I didn’t test for statistical significance or anything like that and it is a

somewhat small sample size when it gets broken down by genre and network/streaming

service, for example

• You watched 49 shows, spanning from 1999 (Freaks and Geeks) to 2024.

• From 14 different networks or streaming services

• They included eight major genres [of course every show is classified as multiple genres but

these were the major ones I landed on and consolidated a bit so they didn’t get too niche]

(in order of most shows that fit the genre): Drama (19), comedy (12), crime (6), action (4),

romance (2), fantasy (2), sci-fi (2), family (2)

What are your favorite and least favorite genres?

• Comedy favorite for both of you (but Presley rates them higher)

• Worst one for Andrew is family, Presley’s worst is a tie between family and romance
