The intent of this re-naming is to make our menus and page titles clearer to all users, and to standardize naming across the multiple places users view IMDb including desktop computers, mobile phone browsers, and in our Android and iOS apps. A more consistent, easy-to-navigate experience is our goal.
We will rename our Top 250 Charts for Movies and TV to "Top Rated Movies" and "Top Rated TV Shows." The "Bottom 100 Movies" Chart will be re-named "Lowest Rated Movies." All of these Charts are generated by users' ratings, and we hope the new names reflect that.
Our current MOVIEmeter Chart will also be split into two new lists, one for TV and one for Movies, and renamed as "Most Popular TV Shows" and "Most Popular Movies" to better reflect the composition and purpose of the new Charts.
The re-naming will not apply to Charts or titles on IMDbPro.
As we always enjoy hearing from our users, please take the time to share your thoughts regarding these changes by commenting below. We look forward to reading your feedback.
Thanks for using IMDb!

IMDb Charts
Box Office
Most Popular Movies
Top Rated Movies
Most Popular TV
Top Rated TV
Lowest Rated Movies
However, regardless of how carefully IMDb defines the criteria for these lists, there will be people who complain that a specific film or TV program does not appear on these lists.
IMDb currently also provides these lists:
Popular Movies by Genre
- Action
- Adventure
- Animation
- Biography
- Comedy
- Crime
- Documentary
- Drama
- Family
- Fantasy
- Film-Noir
- History
- Horror
- Music

It would be helpful to indicate in the "Top Movies by Genre" section on the Charts page (http://www.imdb.com/chart/), that additional information is available by genre. Maybe this phrase would be sufficient:
Each Popular Movies by Genre page provides links to additional genre related charts.
= = =
Being able to assign a tag to a list is a poorly documented feature. It appears that such a tag can only be assigned when the list is created.
= = =
Three or more years ago, IMDb also provided Top Movies and Most Popular Movies by gender. These lists were manually created. It would be useful to be have this information available again along with adding Top Movies and Most Popular Movies by IMDb demographic group:
- Males
- Females
- Aged under 18
- Males under 18
- Females under 18
- Aged 18-29
- Males Aged 18-29
- Females Aged 18-29

2. When I followed the links, I saw that it ranks only current shows, which is okay, but how can it ranks shows which haven't even debuted yet (e.g., Netflix's /Jessica Joens/ and more to the point, shows you're not even taking votes for yet, e.g., 2016's /Vinyl/?
With aberrations like this, IMHO such a list isn't worth following.

Until IMDb implements a "Lowest Rate TV" list like their Top Rated TV, this Advanced Title Search will give you similar information.
Lowest Rated TV Series With At Least 5,000 Votes
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?at=0&num_votes=5000,&sort=user_rating,asc&title_type=tv...
You may find these two searches entertaining:
Lowest Rated TV Series With At Least 1,000 Votes

They should revamp the whole entire site? Certainly you could just create your own more easily. Then it will be just the way you want it. There's no reason they should redo the whole thing so it's how you like, though. That's a little nutty, don't you think?
There is nothing in the mission of IMDb that says they aim to open up people to anything...so to say they fail at it is odd. That said, just using the database opens me up to things I otherwise wouldn't notice, pretty much daily. So I see no fail there.
Odd post. However, if you have suggestions for change, perhaps you should post idea threads about them. This thread is an announcement of name change of the chart, not discussion of changes to the chart or site in general. You imply they changed it, but the name was changed so people understand it better. There was not change (though they change things all the time around the site) implied in the message here. But if you want change, you should indicate and explain in "idea" threads as needed. Your comments are kind of lost in this announcement thread.
Good luck!

IMDb fan

The list is ranked by a formula which includes the number of ratings each show received from voters, and value of ratings received from regular votersand 15 others currently rank higher following that formula.

At the search bar, change "all" to "advanced search," then choose "Advanced Title Search."
You can choose from a wide variety of search criteria including setting the votes at whatever number you choose. There's no need to keep changing the pre-set lists based on requests. There will always be someone to come along and want it higher/lower, etc.
This thread is solely about the fact they re-named them so users might realize the list is based upon votes by users and not some just made up by someone or by staff. It's to hopefully end the "you forgot this title," and "that title doesn't belong" debates.

For instance I made my own ranking of Series aplying the formula with a minimal of 25.000 (like movies), the result is pretty good, I got a very similar order, with the difference of shows like Lost or TWD have a best position due to their greater amount of votes, and shows as the guy says above, are in lower positions. The only problem of my order is that I don't have the real number of the rating, I only have "8.1s, 8.2s, 8.3s, etc". I can add fake decimals accordying to the order, for example if I have 10 shows with 8.5 I can order them by giving decimals: 8.46, 8.47, 8.48, (...), 8.54. My ratings will be more accurate, but still not the exacts numbers that IMDB have.
So that's why if I say, "Hey, I think 10.000 will be more accurate", or "15.000", closer to the movies rating" is for advicing the IMDB own rating, in my case.
I really think 10.000 or more is better. In my ranking Lost is in 30 position. Prison Break and other well known series has a TOP 50 rating. In this 5.000 minimal ranking they aren't even in TOP 50..

In the right hand column there is a list titled Top Rated TV Shows by Genre followed by a list of the Genres. Clicking on one of these will allow you to see only the subset of the Top Series that have that Genre attached.
You can also 'roll your own' listings at the Advanced Title Search.

I really dislike how, like movies, the chart is now limited to only 250. IMDB used to be my most used tool in finding tv shows, because I could look at the top rated TV shows and not have it limited to 250 selections. Please, please bring back the ability to view ALL top rated shows with more than 2000 votes.

it's a 6 episode tv mini-series. not a film.
Ben,
This thread is an announcement is about the title of the page being re-named. No one's individual vote matters...the lists are based on how users vote. What you'd need to do to get higher on such a list is to be thought of as being better than titles above when voting. They re-named the charts to make it clear that it's based on votes, not staff favorites or Ben's favorites and the titles included would not be something a debate over it would change. I thought it was a good theory...I guess people still aren't connecting those dots?

The TV shows ratings are NOT true to form. The highest rated show that I found was an episode of the Showtime series Dexter. Season 4, episode 12 was rated 9.8 out of a rating system that had a maximum score of 10. Dexter also has several episodes that rank higher than 9.5. stated as highest ranked TV shows.
