Distribution
The dataset, typically provided in CSV file format (e.g.,
person_of_interest_episodes.csv), is small, weighing approximately 8.79 kB. It contains exactly 103 valid records, reflecting the total number of episodes produced. Crucially, all fields across all records are verified as 100% valid, with no missing data points or mismatches, ensuring high usability.Usage
This resource is ideal for comparing and contrasting US viewership data with external metrics, such as fan-generated IMDb ratings, by joining the data on common fields like Title and Air Date. It enables analysis of trends in audience size over the five seasons. Furthermore, it allows users to investigate the correlation between specific directors or writers and fluctuations in audience engagement. It is a solid resource for anyone interested in the production metrics of a major network television series.
Coverage
The data covers the entirety of the show’s run, from the series premiere on 22 September 2011 up to the finale on 21 June 2016. All five seasons and 103 episodes are included. The demographic scope for the quantitative metric is strictly focused on viewership within the United States.
