S31E52 Young Frankenstein
I’ll start off the evening with an expanded show-our premiere of a film for which we have gotten many requests- Mel Brooks’ 1974 homage to the classic Universal films- “Young Frankenstein”!
The host Svengoolie talks about various horror movies while showing the movies, one per episode, and gives an introduction to them and performs an act during the commercial breaks. One of the constant tropes is that he will ask a question, then cut back to the movie in a way that looks like the character is answering that question. He also does a deep dive on the early careers of the major actors, and also what has happened to them since then.

Each point is an episode, plotted chronologically. The colored bands mark season boundaries. Look for upward or downward trends to see if quality improved or declined over time.
Vote count shows how many people cared enough to rate. High votes + high rating = beloved classic. High votes + low rating = notorious stinker. Low votes + high rating = hidden gem.
Episodes plotted by rating vs. vote count. The vertical line marks the rating threshold (7.5). More votes = more engagement. Toggle above to compare against global or show-specific median.
A simplified view: one point per season. This smooths out episode-to-episode noise to show the overall arc of the series.
Did each season build momentum or fizzle out? Green arrows mean the finale rated higher than the premiere. Red means the opposite. Longer arrows = bigger swings.
Some seasons are reliable bangers. Others are hit-or-miss. Each dot is an episode. Tightly clustered dots mean consistent quality. Scattered dots mean a mixed bag.
