And to be clear it isn't all his fault. Like I started by attacking his list credibility, which is gonna put him on the defensive. Like I gave up when he started veering off heavily into "wow I picked poor choices if I was doctoring the data" cause we were so off the point I was getting at at that point it felt like a lost cause.

The difference a random Joe has is the method of creating the list is less biased

Like it's not as if I'm automatically conceding the point entirely if Joe Schmo comes in. It's I'm not discarding their list as nonsense.

That being said, through reevaluating the causes of discrepancy between the lists, I think doing this by each network, is probably the more accurate way to do it because like Nick or UPN would probably be an extreme outlier in the 90s which would skew the whole batch pretty heavily. And the only network my list reaches close to enough coverage on in that regard is Fox, and even that one isn't sufficient.

So SEP was right but he wasn't very effective at conveying why. But yeah, I concede!

Actually no that literally was conceding the point to SEP (his point wasn't that there was more in the 90s, just that different lists are going to be in wildly different proportions because of higher concentrations in certain areas), there.

If you'd actually read the arguments instead of just blindly supporting the poster you like more like you always do you'd know as much

Now that being said, even if you were to normalize SEP's to my selection's proportions, and extend them out to 50 each, you'd still get a pretty different tale from mine. It'd be about 60% even on both sides.

So I think I'd probably change my argument to "Non-children's programming in general is a lot better in this regard from the 90s vs Today" or "Broadcast TV programming" since uh, yeah, that's mostly what mine is on both sides.

Angle has a lot going for him as a character unlike a lot of wrestling characters you could potentially list.

He has this goofy nerd side that usually shines through when he's cutting promos, which is done up to the point that you could call being uncool a legit character flaw of his

But when the time is needed to get serious, he can focus entirely on The First I, Intensity, and immediately become a no nonsense dangerous and credible threat.

I'd say he's somewhat damaged by some inconsistency in his writing. In the early parts of his career, like his first year or so, he was basically too ridiculous sometimes, and in the later parts of his career in WWECW and TNA, when he was basically The First I all the time.

8.2/10

like, if their '90s list would have more TV shows with black characters than your '90s list (because it contained more nickelodeon shows than adult sitcoms), would it be fake by default?


Uh, no.

Do you actually not understand why a list created with this topic in mind, specifically from the mind of a person who has been arguing a topic for an hour, who is specifically working to reach a quota of 30, would contain some amount of bias in favor of their point? Like I can accept I'm wrong, just do it with a method that doesn't have an extreme selection bias like that.

Also my bad on Clueless I literally just remembered it as all blondes. Hated that show.

If you had an actual process for creating your list that wasn't inherently biased yes I would accept it.

Taking what you remember of my list, naming the first 10 shows that come to mind to fit the quota, when you've been thinking about shows that fit criteria you're arguing for the past hour.

Like how do you not see an inherent bias there. Boggles the mind. This isn't being stubborn or trying to win an argument it's just basic common sense.

I'm just saying if you actually looked at every show, your list would be a lot longer and it'd be less skewed in favor of the point you're making

Like I'm not saying you're outright lying to win an argument, just that half assing this when you clearly have examples of each side on your mind is a very easy way to have an inaccurate list that's grossly skewed in favor of your point. Those are the ones you're thinking of at the time.

If your list isn't actually exhaustive it's cherry picking

Going into this discussion, you were primed with this as your goal, so of course you're going to immediately remember more shows that fit the criteria you're looking for on each end, and if you're specifically working to reach a quota then yeah, those other shows that would balance it out don't come into play

My point is better because it's actually a correct sampling of what I've watched made by scouring every Wikipedia page.

Yours is just what you remember from my list combined with what you remembered to append to others. Not really an accurate sample.

Like it's kinda damming when you copy 14/18 of my shows with black people and add like 7 of your own, and like 7 from the other side and add one. I have extreme doubts your list is particularly accurate. Just the mindset you generated the lists with, really, combined with the fact it took you 5 minutes when it took me literally hours.

Yeah that's definitely a better way to do it

Well, how large would your show list be, though. Like I seriously doubt if you name 30+ shows from each without cherry picking that you're getting it anywhere near single digits.

Like there becomes a point where you need more, but 47 and 31 shows are actually plenty to get a margin of error within like 25%, which is still a range that can't catch both of those so I mean yeah.

This wouldn't be accepted in any sort of official study, but like I'm not lying to you here. When the margin is that ridiculous high you don't really need all that many samples to be reasonably confident there's a statistically significant difference. Pinpointing the difference, obviously you need much more, but just to be pretty sure there's a notable difference the number you need goes way down if it's far off enough.

Like basically, if you assume the wikipedia page is right and that 1710 television series came out in the 90s, a sample size of 47 would in a range of around +/- 14% of being accurate to the entire sample assuming I'm remembering this crap right (very possible I'm not!). 30 would put you at around +/- 18%, so I mean, even assuming both stats are skewed in the most favorable way it'd be 72% vs 47% which is still a pretty significant difference.

It absolutely is fair when the totals are 47 vs 31 when the percentages are that off, actually.


Not really, no. That's pretty dishonest. Hell, I could give you a list by adding 10 shows to the 10s and taking 10 shows away from the 90s and suddenly they're within about 15% of each other.


No, I'm telling you it actually is, mathematically speaking. Yeah it's not a lot but the margin of error actually decreases by enough even at this sample size that you know if the percentages are that far off it's statistically significant.

This is if you assume my random sampling is actually random, of course. Which yeah, if you think I actually care enough to doctor the data to that extent then we don't really have anything to argue about since you're not going to trust me in general.

But I mean when the difference is 90% to 33%, you'd basically have to be accusing me of doctoring the data outright to not think that means something. One shows 90%, one shows 33%. If you know anything about standard deviation you know that matters assuming pretty much any random set of shows.

By the way, I made up the lists. My list of black representation in TV series for 10s vs 90s came out to

19/47 for (4 of those being all black comedies) for the 1990s
vs
29/31 for the 2010s (only all black show I'd name really is Empire. Blackish & Luke Cage don't really count imo) (should be 29/32 cause I forgot literally The Big Bang Theory)

So uh, yeah, when I say "it's obvious if you watch TV" it is quite obvious if you watch TV. I suspected SEP's list might not have been representative when literally BBT and Vikings (obvious reasons on the latter, and with BBT actually standing out for it on the former) were on it. Obviously, this is just a sample of shows I've watched, but it's large enough that I think it's fairly conclusive evidence that I am in fact correct on this.

List if anyone is interested:
