[Mandingo Conservative]

Note in the body of the article how the usual leftist / communist propaganda that urban liberals have higher educations vs I guess the illiteracy of us moonshine swilling Bible thumping hillbillies! I don't watch any TV BTW.

[Frantzie]

ALL of TV is crap and propaganda anyway. I canceled over a year ago. All the networks and hollywood support the muslim plus have saudi shareholders and partners.

Mad Men is trash that smears Christians and wasps circa 1950s or so. Just like Desperate Housewives. All the men are creeps and the women are sl*ts. Nonsense for idiots.

[Army Air Corps]

Moreover, if you're a liberal viewer in a major city (which typically correlates with higher education)...

I am willing to wager cold, hard cash that I have a much higher level of education and old-fashioned common sense than does the snarky twit who wrote this pile of tripe.

[max americana]

NCIS went lib 2 years ago, especially after the Palin jab. Medium went libtard as well, especially after the “drunk war vet” episode. CSI is a sinking ship after Peterson left.
How I Met Your Mother features a horndog character who in real life is a flaming homo. Glee is disfunctional crap. Mythbusters became an Obama ass-kissing show.

I just DL episodes of warehouse 13, Burn Notice, and Chuck (with Adam Baldwin). Heck, Cheaters’ entertains me at 3 in the morning LOL.

[nomad]

I don`t watch much TV, but the little I watch is educational,not too much of the Hitler(History) Channel anymore but anything else that deals with science, technology, and natural history(except eco-crap).Every lefty I know watches pop culture garbage.

[DustyMoment]

. . . . if you're a liberal viewer in a major city (which typically correlates with higher education) . . . .

Nope, I didn't see any bias or prejudice here!!

Threw mine out in ‘88. Haven’t missed it.

[ForGod'sSake]

I had NO idea I was so behind the times. The ONLY show on either list I’ve EVER watched is Beck. I feel so, so, well, left out. Tried to watch Friday Night Lights once because it was supposed to be about Texas high school football. Little did I know that was just a loosely applied “premise” for the show — PUKE! Friday Night Emoting would have been a dead on title. Thirty minute ha’s ha’s and one hour soap operas? No thanks! I guess my illiterate red neck is showing.

[TeachableMoment]

I don’t think ANYONE should be watching prime time TV, and especially if you are a Christian. The shows and the ads are filled with immodest images and stuff people just don’t need to have parading before their eyes at all.

You are what you eat! Those shows are just doublepluss not good. Having said that, I about cried when they canceled Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles, so I am not up on a high horse here, heh.

Why would an excerpt begin well into an article and start with “moreover”?

[winner3000]

(Likewise, left-wingers have a stronger affinity for certain veteran crime procedurals, including “The Closer” and “Law & Order,” as well as anything that appeals strongly to women.)

I have a much simpler explanation. Republicans don’t watch shows that attack or demean Republicans or Conservatives! Many of the shows that are mentioned as liked only by Democrats, routinely do just that. If I had to write the summary of this article, I would say that shows that allow Conservatives to enjoy them without feeling attacked, are much more likely to succeed. It would also say that despite knowing that, many “well written” shows don’t give a crap, and cannot help themselves but to attack and demean Republicans and Conservatives, and are rarely super-hits!
Is it any surprise that super-hits are shows that are liked by both Republicans and Democrats? Just the fact that there are so few shows that do not drift toward the left politically, means that Republicans have fewer choices, and that those choices are therefore much more likely to become hits.
DUH!

[Question Liberal Authority]

I hope that some day I will be educated and sophisticated enough to watch Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami.

Not sure I understand the methodology. The Good Wife rates 124 with Dems and 119 with Pubbies. Yet, it's not on the Republican list. Desperate Housewives rates 116 with Republicans and 116 with Democrats, yet it's said to be a "Republican" show. Republicans are supposed to be into cookie cutter crime dramas because they give NCIS a 115 instead of a 109, but Democrats watch Law & Order SVU and they're all smart and sophisticated. And Republicans are into dopey sit-coms because 2 1/2 men got a 112 instead of a 105, but liberals watch 30 Rock and Community. Plus quite a few of the shows bolstering the author's argument aren't even on either list.

[Lazlo in PA]

I note they cherry pick some top notch shows but they seem to leave a few out:

A mother sells drugs and ruins her family. This is a comedy show.

A drug addict nurse spends day stealing drugs and cheating on her husband. She is the hero.

A drunk/high/sex addict writer sleeps around and exposes his hedonism to his 14 year old daughter and ruining his marriage. This is a comedy. Seems very intellectual.

I should become smarter to enjoy this style of entertainment.

[ConservativeStatement]

I can truthfully say I have never heard of the majority of these shows.

[eclecticEel]

Occasionally I contemplate getting cable again, then spend a week or two on travel and get to see what’s on TV at my hotel room - and I realize I’m not missing much.

[VADoc1980]

Of the "Republican" ones I've seen:

Glenn Beck - Like it

Modern Family - Like it

American Idol - Like the auditions in the beginning, hate the actual singers later in the season

Survivor - Hate it

Dancing with the Stars - Hate it

Desperate Housewives - Love it, wife got me hooked.

The Bachelor - Hate it

How I Met Your Mother - Like it

Two and a Half Men - Like it

As you can see from this list, my three hates are all reality shows. I don't hate all reality shows, just the really popular network ones. I love shows like Deadliest Catch, Man vs. Food and Man vs. Wild.

Now, of the "Democrat" ones I've seen:

Countdown with Keith Olbermann - Hate it

Brothers & Sisters - Hate it

Law & Order SVU - Love it

I'm kinda surprised that Law & Order SVU isn't more popular among conservatives. I know they take shots at conservatives like they did in tonight's episode (talking about militia groups stockpiling guns because they fear confiscation), but I think that compared to a lot of the crap on tv, it's pretty good.

I'm also surprised that Family Guy isn't on the list. I suspected South Park wouldn't be because it's on cable, but I guess Family Guy's ratings are worse than I thought. I really like it.
