I am going to have to agree with @
YoungForever:here. This table grossly overstates the same content we already have of episode ratings. Additionally, it provides absolutely no support for mobile devices given that it extends beyond what the HTML code can handle.

Exactly. There was a huge discussion over 5 years ago about this
here of which I was a participant. I don't remember much about it besides that someone was creating rating tables for shows. I'd have to discuss with Alex on where this stands now.

Spectacular timing, given that I performed
this only yesterday! I absolutely support the removal of the ratings tables for The Goldbergs, Chicago Med and Bob's Burgers. I've tried to see if there's a way to fix the x-axis issue over the past several years, but to no avail. I do see the benefit in the template for particular series, such as at
List of Game of Thrones episodes#Ratings, but this wider usage of them for longer-spanning series is too much. --

I have found more pages with the graph, especially those with major accessibility issues:
I believe this is getting out of hand. It adds no new content and repeats the same content there is already available on episode summaries. The graph could potentially be used for season pages as it reduces accessibility issues. However, its use on episode list pages, the cons outweigh the pros. This includes the unnecessary table added right underneath the graphs. This doesn't make sense to me.

That's a given. One thing is for sure, the bar graph and table are unnecessary. If the trend is necessary to demonstrate, then there should be sources that confirm such trend and perhaps a line graph would be more appropriate.
