Quality Charts (56k warning)

Since I am a nut for statistics, I have, over the past few days, compiled charts detailing the quality of animation for various companies over the years, as according to user votes on IMDB and TV.com.

Procedure:
The quality is based on user votes from both IMDB and TV.com, according to new shows that came out in specific years for animation companies. If more than one show came out in a year, all show scores were averaged into one score.

Notes:
  • I am note trying to prove something. I did this out of simple curiosity. You can come to your own conclusions.
  • I used IMDB and TV.com because I trust user votes over professional critic ratings. Since both sites had great differences in many cases, I also included an average of the two scores in the charts that had both data lines. If you know of any other sites that have rate animated media as such, tell me and I'll be happy to update a chart if you feel I need to.
  • Since every now and then a show was missing from one site or another, there are some small errors here or there, but I feel these charts are fairly accurate.
  • There is no bias in this.
  • Some of these charts can be hard to read. If you would like me to simplify a chart, go ahead and ask.
  • I did most of the biggest names in current animation. If you want me to measure a company I haven't already, feel free to ask.
And now, the data:

Sure there is. Going by TV.com, Naruto is more popular than Family Guy, Spongebob, Heroes, Hannah Montana, and 24, and we all know that's not true based on the ratings they get. Most people on the internet will migrate more to the "nerd" shows rather than the "mainstream" shows, so it's not a very good source to use since it's pretty unbalanced.... though I find it a bit funny those charts say Disney was "bad" in the 90s and better in the 00s, which people seem to say the opposite here.
 
Let me clarify: There is no bias on my part, which is why I used both TV.com and IMDB. Like I said, if you know of any more user-vote sites, feel free to tell me.
