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

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.
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.
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).
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).

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

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.
Family Guy, an animated sitcom about a New England family and their everyday dilemmas, is a way for viewers to see the comedic side of a dysfunctional family. The Griffins consist of Peter and Lois, the patriarch and matriarch, and Meg, Chris, and Stewie are the children(Family Guy). Every character is different from the next character. They are also weird in their own way. The television show itself displays feminism, structuralism, and gay and lesbian criticism. Each character in the show also displays those criticisms in a certain fashion. Family Guy can be offensive to viewers with its satire, and the way the show delivers its message can make the family and the other characters in the show seem dysfunctional.

Season 2 was the #1 television series in the p-12-34 demo for summer 2010 and posted increasing growth every week
The overall ratings of the show are what makes the audience want to watch it. If the show has a bad rating nine times out of ten, the viewers aren’t going to watch it. Reign has a rating of a 7.6 on a site called IMDB, and that stands for Internet Movie Data Base. On this site, there were 35,075 people that voted. It has a rating of an 8.4 on a site called TV.com and only 470 people voted. It also has a rating of a 7.8 on a site called Metacritic and only 77 people voted. Some of the voted were bad and some good. There were only 22 votes that were based on critics. These are fair ratings, so the audience would take the time to watch it and maybe watch it again. The overall rating is the most important factor when choosing a television series to watch. Bad ratings equal fewer viewers. In summary, the rating of the television show is the main reason why
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.
