Anyone notice the significant drop in MWC's overall rating on IMDb? It now has 8.3

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092400/

Not long ago (less than a year) it had an 8.6, a year or so before that it had an 8.8. A three point drop in less than a year is very unusual. Anyone know if they've adapted a new rating system or something?

Modern Family has also gone down from 9. something to 8.8 very recently.

I have no idea if they changed something in the rating alorithm, but it's kind of strange.
Both have a very low rating from imdb-stuff members - but I don't think that their rating has more weight than the others.

I guess its IMDb rating hasn't really bothered me because I thought it was hovering around the 7.5 mark.
I assume some very stupid people gave it a low rating.

Take solace in the fact that the rating with the most votes (over 40%) is 10.

Hi Marriedaniac...

I have to wonder if any change in ratings could be
1/ due to a faltering economy... More people canceling their Cable or satellite service
2/ reruns of the show not being aired lately

We are talking about IMDb ratings though, not TV ratings: http://www.imdb.com/

Hi Shoe Dick....
Are you saying that people in the US who Watch Television do not vote on the
Internet?

Sure they do, but why would lower TV ratings make people give bad ratings on IMDb?

Down to 8.2 now

I just gave it a 10. Didn't affect the 8.1.

gave 10 too, still 8,1 HALP!

I've already voted, so I can't again... maybe signing in with fb will let a duplicate vote in?
