Level 52

Dec 23, 2021

Because I wanted a children's show on here, I was originally going to do Sesame Street. However, it only has a rating for the first season, so I went with the second-longest running children's show, that is to say Spongebob Squarepants.

Also, note that not all seasons have ratings.

Level 74

It's interesting how most of these TV shows start off decently, spike upwards for a bit, then taper off (and perhaps make somewhat of an increase down the road, but never fully recover).
