Best TV Shows of All Time Graph

This chart mashes up data from multiple rating platforms to reveal the top-rated TV shows of all time. It’s a goldmine of insight into how powerful aggregation and social proof can be.

Marketing Analysis

Every platform tells part of the story. By combining ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and others, this chart creates an “ultimate truth” that feels objective and trustworthy. It’s using consensus as persuasion—the more sources that agree, the more credible it feels.

Why It Works

• Aggregation simplifies decision-making
• Visual color coding instantly shows winners
• Familiar brands (IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes) borrow trust
• “Top” lists trigger curiosity and competition

Examples

• Rotten Tomatoes’ “Certified Fresh” badge drives movie ticket sales
• Yelp aggregates reviews to build restaurant trust
• G2 ranks software tools across sources for credibility
• Wirecutter curates the best products using blended expert/user ratings
