Futurama seems harsh but I think the Simpsons, as with the much two phases of Arrested Development, is one where the variable quality makes it hard to plot on a chart. The AD continuation is so much dumber and nastier than the original three seasons.
the Simpsons is really tricky because of the variability - I guess I tried to average it out? otherwise we'd have to start splitting off different phases of shows
I think the Simpsons, ultimately, has now been on air so long that can reasonably just grade it by the 60 per cent of it that is 'bang average reliable sitcom where the characters are largely one-dimensional' versus the 40 per cent of it that isn't like that.
delighted to see no entry at all for the LCD of Mrs Brown's Boys. some 80s update and a glaring admission:
Blackadder moving from bottom left to top right
Yes, Minister edging upper right quadrant
The Young Ones right lower quadrant
People Just Do Nothing upper right quadrant
