Code:
(r2 − r1) (r2 − r1)
m1r1 = α____________ and m2r = α__________
|r1 − r2|3 |r1 − r2|3
if we employ Dr A.H. Thripshaw's formula for the deterministic value of entertainment proto-cromulence, we can see here that
α = Gm1m2 measures the strength in numitrons between the claimed value of viewership and the number of times per hour they get up to go to the bathroom, do something else, or switch to Mannix. This is an older formula, and since then all programs are logically assumed to be Mannix, whereas a theta intrusion into the mix would mean a reboot or reruns of Then Game Bronson or Manimal, which television scientists have worked repeatedly to prevent from occuring.
The α value may be substituted for Canukitroids north of the 49th parallel in the western hemisphere, where magnetic duractance and the transmitting power of the CN tower hold sway, however it should not be attempted in timezones east of Atlantic Standard Time as the volumetric constant would lead to sinusoidal deplenation and proof-negative that persons living Medicine Hat did not like, as was previously thought, reruns of Night Heat.
Or as they say in Yellow Knife, "Tᐦᐃᐢ ᐃᐢ ᖧ ᒧᐢᐟ Cᐊᓇdᐃᐊᐣ ᖨᐣg ᐁvᐁᕒ ᐤᕒᐃᐟᑌᐣ᙮ " But we have all been there, I daresay.
However a closer look at the equation reveals a problem. While Canadian broadcast values and the results of obsessive non-objective datamining may provide a value for r2, and thus a stable, elastic system with known parameters into the second progression, and this of course follows standard Newtonian, relativistic and Golden Globe nominee scientist Lee Marvin predicted results according to the respective theoretical work taken by the US Bureau of Standards during the Light Entertainment Conflict of 1947-1969. There were many mistakes made in this attempt along the way, some of them catastrophic resulting in the removal of the Dumont network in this and most other timelines, and the introduction of the Beverly Hillbillies as a comedy show and not the docu-drama that would have caused much needed societal change that cultminated in Max Baer's successful presidency 1976-1992 and the subsequent elimination of nuclear weapons and poverty.
While the formula can handle one show with relative ease, the addition of tie-ins and spin-offs creates a chaotic orbital pattern known alternately as the Three Body Problem or the Archie Bunker Universe where the predisposition of the viewership is inverse to the mental-intestinal discharge of ardent fans. This situation was barely avoided by Star Trek in the 90s by the staggering of series, but the current situation at Paramount Plus has left the current situation for chart-prognosticators and dowsing rod enthusiasts without hope or clue.
