  1. Castle is obviously the best show in 2012!! Glad all of my favourite shows made it onto the top 25 list!

    ReplyDelete
  2. Awesome! Interesting stats and I love them. And wow, the site has definitely grown since 2007. I think I discovered it some time in 2008, but I can't remember exactly.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Amazing summary! great work

    ReplyDelete
  4. Damn as a math teacher I really love articles like that :p ! with graphs, stats and everything! It's so great that this site is so popular because it really is the best!

    ReplyDelete
  5. The data here is already inaccurate. It doesn't seem viable to add House to the 2012 list when it's not part of the 2012-13 season. When I see the years here, I feel it should be implied that it's for that television season. And so the data should represent 2011 season (into 2012), and 2012 (into 2013). House should be on the '11 rather than the '12 as a result since it ended last season.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Thank you. Hope you found it interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Do these stats include those of the Android App?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Your comment is very inaccurate :)

    House was airing in 2012. It had 14 Episodes in 2012.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Not all of them. Things like videos and polls votes etc do. Just reading of articles do not.


    The android and other smartphone apps are only about 0.5% of the traffic.


    NOTE: All access via the mobile site eg m.spoilertv.com is included

  10. Thanks @twitter-43689057:disqus that's very kind of you.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I found it interesting that the most liked people are also the people who are the most active users. Clear correlation between the two. So the sheer volume of comments counts.

    ReplyDelete
  12. yep, it certainly helps to comment more :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Brasil one of the countries that most come here... That's cool!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wow very interesting stats. I'm a little suprised that HIMYM moved up the rankings table but other than that it seems to make a lot of sense. Shows that had big story changes such as Castle, Greys, Dexter have moved up and shows like TBBT and PoI with increased support have started to really show up.
    I would be intersted to know which 5 shows dropped off the rankings table to allow GoT, Dexter, TBBT, PoI and Revenge on.
    This is my most visited site and I've really enjoyed commenting more this year. I looked forward to a spoiler filled 2013 with everyone here. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this site to us and congratulations on the yearly stats, they look amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  15. What a great way to end the year,congrats! :) I can't wait to see what this new year brings us,hopefully all good things! A little sad to see Fringe fell to 9th place,and wow,i made a list,ha! :D

    ReplyDelete
  16. I´ve only discovered this site this year, but I enjoy it, so keep on the good work:)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks @twitter-95718308:disqus very kind comments.


    The 5 shows that "dropped" out were.


    Smallville, The Good Wife, Nikita, 90210 and Chuck

    ReplyDelete
  18. Nice summary! :) You guys are like my morning paper, I am here everyday couple of times :/ :DDD Not commenting much, but still... Keep up the great work! :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. I´m sad to see Fringe go down so much. (I was surprised not to see Supernatural as nº1 or closer to the top too).
    Also, Great to see the growth of the site. I don't even remember how long I've been here (as a lurker for very long before I even started my very iregular ommenting) and it is very good to see not only how much people come here but all the improvements to the site!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thanks Elen for the kind comments, they are much appreciated.

  21. Good job Andy and everyone else !

    And good job to Fringe, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, True Blood & Dexter (and the other shows, I guess ^^) for being so addictive, and thus very popular on SpTV.

    Btw, I should really ask how to use the SpoilerTV video player and the Image database (I did get the email regarding their use when I started contributing, but I didn't do it right away and now I don't have it anymore). It's kind of like when you're supposed to know someone's name, they know yours but you totally forgot hers/his, and after a while it becomes so embarassing to ask, so you don't. I've always found Youtube's player to be easy to use and very efficient, but for some other websites it's not as simple. And if it brings money to Andy (I've noticed a 'persistent' ad a week ago, it's got to be worth $om€thing), then I should start using it.

    And holy crackers, I had no idea that a thread I opened (Happy 25th anniversary, FOX (poll 1/3 : sci-fi / fantasy) was popular ! 14,425 views, 465 'likes', 173 tweets, 37 G+1 : that's nice, thanks everyone ! Also, there is a vivid Dark Angel fanbase that found out about the poll o_O : it wins by a landslide (41.18%) against shows like The X-Files (19.13%) or Fringe (14.02%), that's pretty impressive (or given that you could choose up to 5 shows, it means the majority of people have seen Dark Angel). A good 2013 resolution for me will be to try and write more of these 'popular' posts.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ha, no worries.


    As for the Image Gallery and Video player, don't worry too much about it. Your posts, like our reviewers and recappers don't really need to use. We try to use them for our stand posts such as Episodic Promotional Photos, Sneak Peek and Promos.

    For articles about shows, YouTube and Photo uploading to Blogger directly makes most sense.


    Congrats on one of your articles making the Popular Posts list :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Great summary! It's so nice to see how popular the site is;)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Interesting read as always.....

    It always surprises me how much I comment since I thought I had cut back! XD
    I bet I would be in the top group of "Disliked" too! XD

    KRIKE!
    That Thrones speculation post had a few visitors to it I guess!
    Now I feel the pressure of making next year's better..... Bring on Season 3 and then the casting speculation for The Red Viper!

    Thanks to all visitors (even the banned users since their ignorance both saddens and ammuses me) and to all the posters... and most of all to Andy who some how manages to go on despite his Van Percy-less Gunners letting him down. XD

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ha cool. Looking forward to your Season 4 GOT post :)


    It's strange that whilst Disqus have a dislike button there are no stats for Dislikes lol. That would be a funny table to post ;)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Love everything about Castle news so thanks for all that you do to help my obsession!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh great !!!! Thanks thanks thanks so much for this article !

    A great job as always for the best site ever :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Happy to see my beloved Castle, still so popular ;)

    ReplyDelete
  29. A bit surprised by The Good Wife and Nikita, would have expected them on the list in place of Desperate Housewives and Private Practice.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hey, DarkUFO:
    Just out of curiosity, what's the difference in the stats for browser usage from 2011 to 2012? (particularly between Chrome and Firefox)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks for posting the numbers. Really interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Firefox was 36% in 2011
    Chrome was 22% in 2011

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow. That's a bigger jump for Chrome than I thought. Thanks for the info.

    ReplyDelete
  34. YES! Look at all the Castle lovin' up there! GO CASTLE! :D

    ReplyDelete
  35. No worries.

    Yep, Chrome is really gathering momentum. Most people hate IE and Firefox has become a little sluggish recently. I used to be a big Firefox users since version 1 but since Chrome was released I've not looked back ;)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm surprised Supernatural fell all the way to number 5 in the most popular shows table, though I think season 7 disappointed a lot of people. It is good to see Castle at the top, though... not that it's a surprise on this site haha ;)


    Everything looks great, by the way! I love how everything is so organized. Good work this year, SpoilerTV.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Woo! Australia represent!
    Great to see the site doing so well this year. Lets hope it does even better next year!! And although I don't watch it, we'll done to castle for doing so well in all the stats! Maybe I should get into it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. yay Greys is still rocking!!
    That was a lot of info, yall are awesome to break everything down!

    ReplyDelete
  39. castle 4ever! people ! castle the best thing in the whole world!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. While I don't understand all the numbers, graphs and such, I do understand that Castle came out big, over all and that's great. It is my favorite current running show after all. ;) Thanks for all the great work on this... :D

    ReplyDelete
  42. Not in the top places I'm afraid. We only cover the top 25/30 I'm afraid.

    ReplyDelete
  43. huh... the same six people... interesting... I'm really liking Lizzie's name on there though!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Switched at Birth is no where on here!!! I'm so out of the loop... :(

  45. "Surprising to note The Walking Dead so high up considering it has a very short season compared to other shows."


    short doesn't always mean bigger man.... think about it....

    ReplyDelete
  46. even on top! Don't you have a "real" life?? ;)

    Oh ok cheers anywaysxx

    ReplyDelete
  49. Why no "Most Popular Promos" and "Most Popular Promotional Photos"?

    ReplyDelete
  50. We don't have that level of detail in the stats for those I'm afraid

    ReplyDelete
  51. What do you mean? Can't you check the article views on Blogger?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yes but we have thousands and I don't have the time to do them all manually. We use our Google analytics to compile the stats for us. Those stats are not recorded

    ReplyDelete
  53. And why are the stats from promos and promotional photos not recorded?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Photos are on a different server and promos are recorded differently.

    If I had the stats I would have posted them. I don't have them so I didn't :-)

    ReplyDelete
  55. No, I have to be the mos 'disliked'! I say a word like DREAM and I automatically get creamed in negativity XD

    ReplyDelete
  56. Cool stats! Glad SpoilerTV is SO popular!


    Yay for Once Upon A Time and Fringe being "a popular show"!

    ReplyDelete
  57. It's not so surprising to find Castle on the top, but it's interesting to see how are other shows. I found SPOILER TV last year. I told my friends about it, because here, in Czech republik, we ALL love Castle, Bones, TBBT, HIMYM, but I and my friend(and family) learnt about new shows thanks to you! So thank you and congratulations! You are the best even in non-English-speaking country!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Me too,i'm always getting down votes by those gremlins!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Thanks tereza, that's very kind of you
