Finally, when you observe me on Twitter, you’ll know I used to be going to exclude this chart from the article, however I assumed I’d embody and add some caveats.
The largest caveats are that we’ve included restricted sequence and season 1s for this chart.

For instance, Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? is labeled as a season 1 regardless of the actual fact there was by no means an intention to convey it again, and it ought to be a restricted sequence.
Nevertheless, whichever method you chop and alter the parameters, there’s no denying a steep drop-off within the second and subsequent seasons of reveals.
