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 3 was cut to 20 by the 2007 strike. Season 15 was ordered short to close the story at 10. Evolution revival stays out because only original series episodes count. No webisodes enter the rows. Only CBS broadcast season episodes are counted. That gives 16 entries for full coverage. Reid episodes count the same as Morgan ones in the method used here. The finale aired as one hour but follows totals.
