K8 the GR8

I’ve put together a formula to rate the irritation level of children’s TV shows.

I haven’t done this because I don’t like children’s TV shows, don’t get me wrong… 

I’ve done it because I’ve been in the sityation before where I wake up and can’t get to sleep for the distraction of the TV which is babysitting my child while I snatch a lie-in.  This is not nice with a raging hangover or preceeding a sleepless night, so I need something to tell me which are the shows that I will most likely be able to sleep through.

Because I’m such a nice person, I’m going to share my results with you so that if you find yourself in this position in the near future, you’ll know what to do.

Here is the formula, in case you’re wondering.

!!!= Irritation Level
T= The predictability of the plot (scale 1-10)
V= Volume =10.  This is constant as we all know small children think they’re deaf.
a= The amount of action in the show(scale 1-10)
x= The amount of cheesy lines and/or canned laughter in the show (scale 1-10)
Z= Hours of sleep needed.
