Wouldn't it be fair to say that Metacritic's way of averaging reviews and giving a total score is a superior system to Rotten Tomatoes, in that Metacritic does not simply categorize things into negative/positive, but rather, a true numerical value? So in other words, Metacritics system seems more accurate and less prone to accidents (also, rotten tomatoes lacks a middle-ground for reviews; there is no "mediocre"), and is thus superior -- would anyone else agree, or am I missing something? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.23.6.222 (talk • contribs) .
According to the current page, there are only 43 films that have garnered a 0% freshness rating, but this is not true. There are 43 action/adventure films that have garnered a 0% freshness rating. In reality the number is much higher, with more than 120 in comedy alone. Did the person who originally wrote that make a mistake or am I just missing something?
For several days now, the average critics reviews rating (example: 7.00 out of 10) has not been available for TV shows. I've searched but have not found information on whether the score details for TV has been removed permanently or temporarily. I've brought this up at MOS:TV. Pyxis Solitary (yak yak).

It is worth noting that clicking on the critic score now displays the Tomatometer score and average rating of "Top Critics" by default. You must now also click on "All Critics" to view the average rating for all reviews. I am sure this will cause confusion in future editing. Οἶδα (talk) 05:40, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Jeff Giles here. I appreciate the longtime shout-out on RT's page; it's given me numerous smiles over the years. Just sticking my head in to say thank you, and also to note that as of 5/16/24, I've been dismissed and my nearly 19-year tenure with Rotten Tomatoes is over. I did write the majority of the film CCs (and all of the ASes) between probably 2010 and 2024, but that won't be the case going forward.
Thanks again!
I edited this page to change a statement that was likely to become outdated, however the tag for that is still there. Can someone remove it? IHaveNoIdea25 (talk) 14:04, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
