The TV show that I chose for this project is Modern Family. ABC first started airing the show in 2009, and has aired 168 episodes throughout eight seasons as of October 4. The rating Modern Family received from IMDb 8.5 out of 10. I started with an analysis of the Episode Ratings for Modern Family (ignoring seasons). For the 168 episodes of Modern Family the average rating was ȳ=8.0304 stars out of 10, with a standard deviation of 휎=0.3469 stars. The minimum rating received by an episode is 7.3 stars out of 10 and the maximum rating is 9.5 stars out of 10. By using the median, any outliers in the data can be excluded, the median rating was 8 stars out of 10. Quartile 3 was 8.2 stars out of 10, while quartile 1 was 7.8 stars out of 10, resulting …show more content…
Since Episode Rating is a numerical variable and Season is a categorical variable a side-by-side boxplot was the graph used (Figure 5).
FIGURE 5 is a side-by-side boxplot displaying the 5 number summary for each season of Modern Family.
Season 1 has the smallest range with the episode ratings ranging from 7.8 to 8.8 stars out of 10. Season 6 has the highest range of Episode Ratings due to the outlier of 9.5 stars out of 10, the range is 7.4 to 9.5 stars out of 10. Season 3 has the smallest interquartile range, 0.3 and Season 5 and 6 have the largest interquartile range, 4.75. Season 1-6 have 24 episodes, season 7 has 22 episodes and season 8 has 2 episodes as of October 4th.
The second bivariate analysis is an analysis of the relationship between Episode Ratings and User votes.

There is a slight upward trend between User Rating and User votes. This suggests a possible relationship between episode rating and the number of

In the first season the episodes were getting roughly 1200 votes, in the fourth season the votes per episode reduced to roughly 800 votes, the most recent episode of Modern Family only got 172 votes. After looking into the viewership by episode it appears that the viewership has dropped from roughly 10-14 million viewers to roughly 7 million viewers per episode. Another interesting finding was that episode 136 (season 6, episode 16) had the largest number of User Votes, 3588. The same episode also had the highest rating, 9.5. There is no clear reason why that episode had the highest rating and largest number of votes. After examining the episode it is not a finale and had no real major importance and had roughly 9.32 million viewers which is less than Modern Family was getting in the first season. Episode 168 (season 8, episode 2) has the smallest number of votes, 172, but this episode has a rating of 8 stars, which is not the lowest rating. The episode had no real significance and got about 7.41 million viewers. Episode 88 (season 4, episode 16) got the lowest rating out of all the episodes, 7.3 stars, but it had 816 views which was fairly average. The viewership for the episode was roughly 10.62 million and there is no standout reasons why this episode would get the lowest rating. Those are a few interesting

8. After nearly two years in hiatus, the television show came back on the air due to popular demand.
To start off, Modern family is a show that started that in 2009 that falls within the genre of American sitcoms. Blending the idea of sitcoms with a family orientated plot, this show has been very popular among television audiences. As the title claims, the show tries to portray modern families. The family is made up of an older white male, and a younger Colombian trophy wife and her son from her first marriage. There is also another family consisting of a hard working dad, an over controlling mom, and their three children. Lastly, there is a family which consists of gay co-parents and their adopted Vietnamese child. While these family structures appear to be modern, the gender roles presented within the structure suggest something different.
To better understand this graph, 1 thru 7 in x axis represents the number of people. Each dot represents on the iterations of each number. For example “1” on x axis, there are 5 dots, which means there are 5 customers who are single. “7” on x axis, there are 3 dots, which mean there are 3 customers who have 7 people in the house. From this graph it could be concluded that majority of customers are couples living in a household (15).
The black line is so much more variable than the red line because the black line represents the annual average temperature and the red line represents the 5 year running average temperature.
uack, quack! If you’ve ever seen the new hit show “Duck Dynasty” you may find yourself thinking its duck season. A&E’s latest show has taken America by storm. The season three primer of “Duck Dynast” gave A&E it’s highest ratings ever. The show doubled in viewers from its second season to the third. It’s the second most watched show on cable behind “The Walking Dead” bringing in 8.4 million viewers. The show was the most talked about show on Facebook in 2012. The season 3 final beat American Idol in the ratings. The show’s growth will only go as far as America’s love for hairy, godly hillbillies, which at the moment seems to be growing everyday.
Television shows have changed dramatically during the last 50 years. What was funny or popular 1, 5, 10 years ago, is now obsolete. The innocence of popular television shows from the 1960s has been overtaken with shows that would have been risqué. This will be demonstrated by describing the difference between “Leave It To Beaver” and “Modern Family.”
This boxplot displays this information in a graphical format. The box represents the lower quartile of $30,250 (25% of incomes are less than this value), the median of $42,000, and the upper quartile of $54,750 (25% of incomes are greater than this value).
"Seinfeld" was always present in my home during its nine-year run on Thursday nights as "Must See TV," and the social
There are several shows that portray both social and political messages. While answering this question, I can’t help but focus on shows that have exhibited what the “American” family should be like. The Cosby Show, a social message, is an American sitcom--the show focuses on the Huxtable’s, an upper middle-class African American family living in Brooklyn, NY. I think the show set the standards for how African American families should live, although many of us don’t live that way.
Throughout time, media has been used to reflect society. One popular method of doing so is television. Many people rely on television as a source of entertainment and history. From shows from the 1950s to now, culture and society have been shown in its truest forms. Looking back at the shows from the past gives one a good insight on how families acted in different time periods. One can analyze different shows in different decades to see how family dynamic and trends have changed over time. To get a grasp of the how the perception of families changed throughout time, I choose 5 decades and watched an episode of a popular television show at the time. I watched the 1950s show “The Honeymooners” to start off with because it shows the dynamic of a white, heterosexual, cisgender couple. I then watched “Good Times” from the 1970s to show an African American, heterosexual, cisgender couple and their family. Next, I watched the 1980s show “Growing Pains” to illustrate a white, heterosexual, cisgender family. I choose these 3 specific shows to get a baseline of three different family dynamics (White, African American, family, and couple). I then compared specifically “Good Times” to the 1990s show “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, and “The Honeymooners” and “Growing Pains” to the 2000s show “Modern Family”. Please note that homosexuality and non-cisgender will not
I recently told an employee of mine that The Blacklist has been fun to watch through its first two episodes of its fourth season. I have always been a big fan of The Blacklist, considering it was the first show I reviewed for SpoilerTV. This may be why I am overly critical of each and every episode, however, I rarely, if ever, belittle the show (even during what I thought was an unsatisfactory and imperfect season three). I find solace in ratings, for some reason, which is why I tend to list them in the beginning of my reviews. I find they are an important indicator (although the current system is a tad outdated) of a show 's progress.
Sitcoms have been one of the most popular and influential television genres for years on end. From some of the oldies like I Love Lucy to some of the more recent ones like New Girl , this genre succeeds in appealing to all people through eye catching drama, witty comedy, and lighthearted romance. Almost all viewers are guilty of singing their favorite theme songs or throwing out some popular catchphrases from some of their beloved characters on the show. The television show Friends, which aired in 1994, is still one of the most watched sitcoms in history. Even though the show ended in 2004, reruns still play on T.V and Netflix has even added the show to its database because of its undying popularity. Even a bit older than Friends, Full House aired its first episode in 1987 and its last in 1995. This shows popularity and influence prompted a continuation of the show, Fuller House, that is currently in production more than twenty years later. Both sitcoms of Friends and Full House demonstrate how the sitcom genre, along with the sub-genres associated with it has had and continues to have a tremendous influence on pop culture.
