As it relates to television series, the hook index is the average number of episodes one must watch before they are committed to watching the rest of the series. For instance, Breaking Bad may have a hook index of 3. Meaning, you have to make it through episode three in order to really stay with the series (mostly because of the icky bathtub scene from episode 2.
Parks and Recreation has a hook index of 6. Because it was so similar to The Office, views drastically declined in the first season until the last episode (6) where "Despite the low rating, "Rock Show" received the best reviews of the season and convinced some critics that the series had finally found the right tone."

The Fuck Index (TFI), also known as The Google Fuck Poll, is a DIY poll like the Gallup Poll, but available to "we the people". It best used for measuring the relative popularity of key politicians, past and present. It is tested by doing a "Fuck <enter name>" on a Google Search, and reading the totals. Currently Obama is at 23 million hits for "Fuck Obama", whereas "Fuck Bush" has dropped to less than 2 million.
Democrap: Boy, I am so happy I voted for Obama, he's beat Bush 10 times over on The Fuck Index.
Repube: You used the Google Fuck Poll to get that? You Jackass! How could you people be so stupid! The Fuck Index is not a good thing. It means ppl think Obama is 10 times worse than Bush.
