[Request Name]
Suggested Shows Based On Others With Same Listings

[Description]
I think it would be really useful to have the ability to get a list of recommended shows based on people what other people watch who share the same other shows as you.

[Comments]
While I am not positive on the best algorithm to implement, I am sure if there is interest, I can help with this part. Perhaps some sort of metric can be calculated with how many other shows are in common, and how many people have that commonality, and create a top 10 suggested list.

Great idea. It would make it much easier to find new promising shows. Smile

About the metric, I think folks at piperka (http://piperka.net/) could help. They run a similar themed website but keeping track of webcomics.

I was going to post a request for this also.

Definitely would like to have shows suggested, especially new shows as it can be hard to know which new shows are worth watching.

Don't know whether I should put this as a separate request or if it's related, but if there were some sort of show tag/analysis algorithm like on last.fm new shows could be suggested to you based on the tags they have e.g. Sci-fi, Comedy.
New shows could then be tagged and suggested to users on this basis.

Think the site is great.

I think this would be an outstanding feature. I have often ened up finding out about a show or how good a show was, but it is 2-3 seasons later. I then have to acquire all the previous episodes before I can start watching so I can see it in order.

I would greatly enjoy such a feature but am all too aware of how complicated it would be to implement.

Many sites already offer this functionality but do so using a ratings system. I.e. each item is rated by the user. So a simple first step would be to allow the user to assign a rating (1-5 stars) to each show.

Netflix has actually had opened up its dataset and invited anyone to try and come up with better recommendations than they do themselves. http://www.netflixprize.com/

So there may be some academic papers out there about research into that. If so they would provide insights into how MyEpisodes might implement this.
