Libruls and conservatives favorite/non-favorite t.v. shows

[Oblivion]

Shamelessly stolen from gaf:

LIBERAL-DEMOCRAT FAVORITES:
– The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report (Comedy Central): As you might expect.
– 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation (NBC): Literate media-savvy comedies score high among Dems in general, notes Experian-Simmons senior marketing manager John Fetto. “Sarcastic humor is always a hook for them,” he adds.
– The View (ABC): Shows that skew female tend to do better among Dems, while male-friendly shows tend to do perform higher among Republicans.
– Glee (Fox)
– Modern Family (ABC): Last year, the progressive Glee and Modern Family scored surprisingly strong among both political leanings. Among conservatives this year, the shows still do fairly well, but have dropped out of their top ranks.
– It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX)
– Treme (HBO): GOP Kryptonite. Not only a Dem favorite, but so unpopular among Republicans that the report scores the show with a “*” because not enough conservatives in the study group had actually watched it.
– Cougar Town (ABC)
– The Late Show With David Letterman and The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson (CBS): Dems favor late-night programming, with one big exception that we’ll see below.
Also in the mix: The Soup (E!), Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Adult Swim), Raising Hope (Fox), Saturday Night Live (NBC), The Office (NBC), Project Runway (Lifetime), Shameless (Showtime), Parenthood (NBC), Conan (TBS).

CONSERVATIVE-REPUBLICAN FAVORITES:
– Swamp Loggers (Discovery) and Top Shot (History): Gritty documentary-style work-related reality shows on cable index really strongly with conservative Republicans. Swamp Loggers is particularly polarizing.
– The Bachelor (ABC): They also tend to gravitate toward broadcast reality competition shows.
– Castle (ABC): Ranks fairly high among Dems, too.
– Mythbusters (Discovery)
– Only in America With Larry the Cable Guy, American Pickers, Pawn Stars, Swamp People (History): If you’re a Republican candidate looking to raise money, put ads on History.
– The Middle (ABC): Does well among libs, too.
– The Tonight Show With Jay Leno (NBC): “Did you hear about this? Yeah, this is true: Jay Leno is the late-night choice among conservatives… “
– The Biggest Loser (NBC)
– Hawaii Five-O, NCIS, The Mentalist (CBS): Popular crime dramas — except the left-wing Law & Order franchise — tend to draw a conservative crowd.
Also: Dancing With the Stars results show (ABC), Man vs. Wild (Discovery), Auction Kings (Discovery), Wheel of Fortune (syndi), Top Gear (BBC America).

CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN LEAST FAVORITES:
– Weeds (Showtime): Female-centered drama, lots of drug use and a morally murky antihero help make this show the lowest-ranked series among righties.
– The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report (Comedy Central): But not disliked equally. Republicans prefer Colbert between the two (maybe some pretend he’s being serious).
– South Park (Comedy Central): Aww, South Park is an equal opportunity offender! But, again, media-darling sarcastic comedies tend to be a turn-off.
– TMZ (syndication)
– General Hospital (ABC)
– Family Guy (Fox)
– Dexter (Showtime): Again, that antihero thing…
– Jersey Shore (MTV)
– The Walking Dead (AMC): Really? But it’s about the Apocalypse!
Also: Divorce Court (syndi), The Big C (Showtime), Let’s Make a Deal (CBS), Bridezillas (WE), My Fair Wedding With David Tutera (WE), Don’t Forget the Lyrics (VH1).

LIBERAL DEMOCRAT LEAST FAVORITES:
– Swamp Loggers (Discovery): What are they doing on this show, feeding Nancy Pelosi to alligators?
– Dog the Bounty Hunter (A&E) and COPS (syndication): “Question authority.”
– The Ultimate Fighter (Spike TV): Conservatives can make their own “cut and run” jokes…
– The Price Is Right (CBS): Annnnd a budget-crisis joke.
– CSI: Miami (CBS)
– Kitchen Nightmares (Fox): Odd. Who doesn’t like a clean kitchen?
– Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family): Not popular among stalwart Republicans either.
– Ghost Hunters (Syfy), Ghost Adventures (Travel Channel) and The Haunted (Animal Planet): Libs don’t believe in an afterlife? Or just don’t believe in shaky night-vision reality shows that claim to prove an afterlife?

Also: Operation Repo (TruTV), Swamp People (History), Hardcore Pawn (TruTV), River Monsters (Animal Planet), Deadliest Catch (Discovery), Only in America With Larry the Cable Guy (History), Storm Chasers (Discovery), Billy the Exterminator (A&E), Deal or No Deal (GSN), Forensic Files (TruTV), Dirty Jobs (Discovery).

CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN LEAST FAVORITES:
– Jersey Shore (MTV)

Finally, conservatives say something I agree with!

(also I'm dem but can't stand Glee or 30 Rock... I do like Stewart/Colbert though!)

[Timber]

I'm not sure what a "swamp logger" is, but it sounds highly homoerotic.

[Timber]

Urban gays go "cruising;" repressed, closeted backwater republicans go "swamp logging." I'm sure that's what that is.

How is it possible to hate this?

[Cheebo]

Glee is awful. I can see why its on the liberal list though. It's basically aimed at librul teen girls.

[demi]

Glee is on there cuz of teh gays

[Human Snorenado]

Glee is fuck awful and Mythbusters is awesome.

[Great Rumbler]

I'm proud that conservative Republicans have Family Guy on their hate list. My people.

[Cheebo]

I'm proud that conservative Republicans have Family Guy on their hate list. My people.

Though probably not for the right reasons, they probably don't watch it because Seth MacFarlane is a very public liberal who appears on political shows all the time. Not because is a awful show.

[Mupepe]

Seeing Seth McFarlane on liberal panels is cringe worthy.  I have never seen him provide anything insightful.  He's a blight on the liberal community. 

[Cheebo]

The worst was when he was on Keith Olbermann's show (remember when he was relevant? lolol). He was on Countdown all the time. Olbermann + McFarlane was so painful to watch.

[Ganhyun]

Its a ridiculously stupid show about people who run logging operations in swampy areas.

[Human Snorenado]

Also,  I find it kind of disturbing that apparently there needs to be 2 shows about people who hunt pesky hogs, because just one wasn't enough to satisfy the demand apparently?

[Robo]

Very disappointed in the absence of Hillbilly Handfishin' in all of these lists.

[Timber]

I knew it!

[Robo]

And I don't know how anyone could dislike Dirty Jobs.

It is disturbing.

What else is disturbing is that apparently you and I agree on something.

[Great Rumbler]

And I don't know how anyone could dislike Dirty Jobs.

Liberal Democrats hate ordinary, hard-working Americans? Big surprise there.

[Don Flamenco]

so basically, they all watch a bunch of patronizing crap, aside from a few decent shows on the list.

pshaw, we probably both agree on a lot of sports related shit seeing as how we're both from the Atlanta area I think? 

But yeah other than that no.

[chronovore]

Glee is awful, and I'm librul

Glee is awful, and I like musicals.

[etiolate]

NO Mad Men on either side.

The two party system fails again!

[Timber]

I have bad memories of Moulin Rouge because it was one of those movies that girls made you watch and you just had to weather it. But I think that if I were to watch it now I would probably cream myself.

[Mr. Gundam]

Glee is awful, and I'm librul

Glee is awful, and I like musicals.

Glee butchers musicals and only exists now to sell a new themed album every week. The show started off well but I gave up on it long long ago.

[Phoenix Dark]

Glee seems so fucking forced. I've watched it with the lady and good lord it makes me want to break something

[Madrun Badrun]

you refer to your mom as the lady?

[Phoenix Dark]

No, my girlfriend likes Glee. I'd imagine my mom would be repulsed by the gayness
