50% of shows, by definition, have to be below average.

Only if you are using the Median as your measure of "average". And even then this will not be true if you have an odd number of shows. But seriously I keep hearing this "rule" stated; and it's not true.

Let's say, for example, they play a 4.5, 4.5, 5.5, and then a perfect 10. Well you can find the "mean" of this by adding up the scores and dividing by 4. You get 6.125, and three-quarters of the shows fell below this mark!
