Yet another update:
Animated: The Simpsons > American Dad > Futurama > Family Guy ≥ South Park
Drama: Heroes > Criminal Minds > House M.D. > Lost
Comedy: The Daily Show > The Colbert Report ≥ The Office
Reality: THEY ALL SUCK.

N is the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible.
and

ne is the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets.
fℓ is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
fi is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
fc is the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.
L is the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.
Found Functions: Math found in the real world.
This was my previous “calculation” for TV shows I enjoy. Here is my 4th update:
Animated: American Dad > The Simpsons > Futurama > Family Guy ≥ South Park
Drama: Heroes > Lost > Criminal Minds > Skins > House M.D.
Comedy: The Daily Show > The Colbert Report ≥ The Office
Reality: THEY ALL SUCK.
Changes: I added Lost and Skins to my list.
30 Rock and SNL still will not show up on this list. I don’t find those shows funny or exciting to watch.
Love is like Pi
Hooray for Math! (via pile)
You take the number of Followers
Divided by the number of people you are Following
Example:
Followers: 210
Following: 43
The math: 210/43 = 4.88
There’s no award or shame that comes with this ratio. It’s just something to know.
