Scored from 156 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2010s (3,236 peers).
Summary
An animated comedy series following Gumball Watterson, a 12-year-old blue cat, and his adopted goldfish brother Darwin as they navigate life in the suburban town of Elmore. Alongside their genius little sister Anais and their loving but chaotic parents Nicole and Richard, the family stumbles through everyday situations that spiral into absurd, reality-bending misadventures at school and home.
Released in 2011, The Amazing World of Gumball is an adventure, animation and comedy television series. Its comedy subtype is Goofy.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,235 2010s television series, not against the whole corpus. 156 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 181 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Amazing World of Gumball lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2010s (3,236 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 156.
