Republicans vs. Democrats TV survey results: Lefties want comedy, right wingers like work

 In a report prepared exclusively for EW, the company calculated some of the favorite — and least favorite — TV shows of political partisans. (Specifically: the report measures which shows among the survey group were watched by the highest concentration of self-identified “Liberal Democrats” and “Conservative Republicans.”)

In the findings, “sarcastic” media-savvy comedies and morally murky antiheroes tend to draw Dems. While serious work-centered shows (both reality shows and stylized scripted procedurals), along with reality competitions, tend to draw conservatives.  Those are a few of the findings from an annual research survey by Experian-Simmons that measures the consumer preferences of various political ideologies.

It's not 100% accurate, but it's close enough.

Interesting. That must explain why Mrs E sits around and watches "Everybody Loves Raymond", episode after episode, back-to-back.  :whatever:

Sorry, but goofball shit like "Swamp Loggers" and "Deadliest Catch" don't trip my trigger. But then again, I'm not a TV fan at all....

It's mostly junk -- I don't watch any of it, but they're not polling us.

I wonder how much of that is that most of the current - as in within the last 10-15 years or so - of sitcoms are just as uninteresting, stoopid rehashes of the same idiotic templates to other conservatives as they are to me?
