This year December 31st is Saturday. It means that I’m lazy in the morning, procrastinating all tasks and doing whatever is absolutely useless. So I compared two major TV channels in Lithuania, what are they offering for their beloved viewer on New Years Eve. I just took all movies (and some full-length animated ones) they’re showing, did check their IMDB ratings and used some formulas everyone knows to determine, if anyone should watch TV.

Metric	LNK	TV3
Count:	8.0	9.0
Rating sum:	36.6	47.0
Rating average:	4.6	5.2
Maximum:	6.6	7.4
Minimum:	3.6	3.3
SqDev:	6.1	10.7
Median:	4.3	5.4

First of all, you may end up in terror, as both TVs have sub-4 rating movies. Generally speaking, this is very very bad. On the other hand, average is terribly low as well, though TV3 might have slightly better status. If you get up early in the morning, you may watch ‘Chicken Run’, which is quite good animated flick. You’re saved if you have cable or satellite TV, or if you’ve got enough booze to erase all memories :) I just wonder, how could major TV channels get so much crap…

And this is the proof:
