How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first entry, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total episodes. Try the full series against the shortest season.
Season 1 tested with 13 before 16 episode orders locked. Later years returned to 13 to close the story. No webisodes enter the rows. Only CW broadcast season episodes are counted. That gives 5 entries for full 4 season coverage. Anissa episodes count the same as Lynn ones in the method used here. The finale aired as one hour but follows totals.
