TV.com was a user-generated website in which TV shows and movies were rated and reviewed. Even though it no longer exists, there were bad things about it.

Bad Qualities[edit | edit source]

  1. Since Summer 2020, this site stopped letting users log in or join. By April 2021, it was losing lots of features. And by June 28, 2021, it was officially removed from the Internet.
  2. Many of their movie and TV show ratings were inaccurate. For example, they gave positive ratings to terrible SpongeBob SquarePants episodes like "Stuck in the Wringer", "Pet Sitter Pat", and even the two most hated episodes: "A Pal for Gary" and even "One Coarse Meal" (often considered the very WORST of SpongeBob).
  3. They didn't let you delete your account, and you could not delete ratings submitted either. Yet if your review had been deleted by the moderators, then the score would be deleted as well.
  4. Certain users were trolls. One user for example praised Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, and other terrible TV shows while considering CatDog and ChalkZone pure scum.
  5. Many users there were from other rotten websites like TheTopTens, and thus would have the same periphery hatedoms as those sites, such as Barney & Friends, Frozen, Dora the Explorer, and many more.
    • Speaking of Dora the Explorer, since around August, September, or October 2017, the show's profile from the site had been deleted and was never recovered. Therefore, if you saw a user rate and/or review Dora the Explorer and then went to its page, it didn't exist. But also, the show had a rating average of 4.9/10, while almost all of the reviews (98% of them) were negative. They also rated Barney & Friends as a 4.6/10, and again, almost all of the reviews for the show were negative.

Good Qualities[edit | edit source]

  1. At least there were still good users, ratings, reviews, and overviews for shows. Out of those, the overviews were done by true experts.
  2. They still gave a good score to Frozen (7.8/10) despite some of the hate from periphery haters.
  3. Notoriously terrible TV shows and movies more often than not got the terrible ratings and reviews that they deserve. A good example is Foodfight!
  4. While you couldn't delete your ratings and account, you could still delete or edit reviews and change scores.
