Our teams have been working on a few new features and Charts on IMDb (like the new Most Popular TV Chart, for instance) and as part of that effort, we’re re-naming several menus and Chart-page titles.
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.

There were so many posts here when the TV list rolled out, about which shows IMDb left out, it was clear users were not understanding how tbe titles were chosen. I think this is a good change!
Thanks!

Providing both a most popular and top rated list for both movies and TV should reduce the confusion for these lists.
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
Refine By: Highest Rated Action Feature Films With At Least 1,000 Votes
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?genres=action&title_type=feature&num_votes=1000,&sort=u...

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:

1. I'm not sure I was aware of these lists before the renaming as I didn't use them, but I was led here today by your front page announcement, "IMDb Launches Most Popular TV Show Chart Ranking the Week's Hottest TV Shows."
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.

Was looking for Longmire on your list but I didn't see it. Its the best thing on TV and has been for the last 4 years. Looking forward to more seasons and The Longmire Posse is trying very hard to see that happen. I'vee used this site before to vote on both the Longmire show and its cast. I am not alone in my wanting more Longmire, we need this show.

Hi Hailey Shannon,
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:

"Top 250" is a strong brand, at least in my mind. If I'm right, people will probably keep referring to it as such. If you want to use the list for promotions or anything like that I do think you should keep this name.

First of all till now the great work and i would like to congratulate the whole IMDb Team...
my favorite portion is top 250 movies, and the actions you are about to take will also good for any kind of user. (i hope so)
just one suggestion is that keep it simple and user friendly not a complicated. (hope you like my suggestion).
thanks & regards,
IMDb fan

Gotham and Workaholics are missing from that list along with american horror story, the goldbergs and how to get away with murder, in my opinion besides that the list was awesome, helped me choose some new shows to binge.

Because
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.

Why is it the only show that is ranked like that? I can't find any other shows that have a higher rating overall but are lower. I'm pretty sure you're right but just saying

Just like the Top Rated Movies list doesn't include documentaries, I feel like the Top Rated TV Shows list should not include documentary TV series like Planet Earth or Cosmos.

The minimum votes should be 10000, 5000 is too low and includes too many shows that are liked a small sect rather than a wider variety of audience

You can create your own version of the list via "Advanced Title Search."
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.

Please delete one of the Dragon Ball's and Dragon Ball Z's from top rated movies. You have Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z both listed twice. I assume one is the Japanes Version, however it is still the same show and you would not do this for movies.

They have created the Top Rated TV Shows chart.
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.
