Milestone #5

Milestone #5

I'm almost done with the G's, thanks to a vacation, and we're at 500 shows. 

The 1950s went from 12 to 14, while, mostly due to Get Smart, the '60s almost doubled, from 10 to 19.  The '70s didn't even budge, still stuck at 11.  The '80s at least went from 69 to 73.  The '90s approached 100, now at 95, while the '00s passed 100, now at 106, still maintaining that roughly one-fifth of the total average.  The '10s of course dominated, now at 180.

Of the former Big Three, NBC maintained its lead, at 80 shows.  The BBC has 63 shows, and ITV 89.

As for the grades, the bottom remains the same: no F- or F+, one F.  D-s did increase from one to three.  D's went from seven to eight, D+s from 23 to 27.  C-s increased from 46 to 56, C's from 52 to 71, C+s from 87 to 105.  B-s went up dramatically, from 96 to 123, while B's more modestly went from 62 to 73.  Grantchester added to the B+s, now 26 rather than 20, but there are still only 5 A-s.

It's still true that there's at least a series or two that I want to watch all of for each letter, but I can't always predict what I'll like or dislike.
