Biggest surprise to me, that Leverage was on the Democrat side, but not the Republican side. Seems like a pretty apolitical show to me.

Of course, as others have pointed out, doing this in July when there are re-runs and few people watching makes any conclusions suspect.

I would love to see a list of all the primetime shows during sweeps, and which audiences they appeal to.

Like I’d love to see how many democrats watch all the FOX shows even though they “hate” Fox. It’s not like Fox has any real conservative TV shows on their network.

Me too. From this TiVo press release, they seem to be intimating that Nielsen doesn't capture this kind of data. I would be curious if that's actually true. And, if it's not true, then I would love to see the data points that Nielsen collects with respect to the viewer's political ideology and what programs they watch or don't watch.

I think what would also be interesting would then examine what kinds of products are being marketed to programs with heavy GOP/Conservative viewers and then to the heavy DNC/Liberal viewers.

I would also love to see the breakout on Letterman, Nightline, all the evening news broadcasts and the View.
