TV Preferences

From a comment over at Chicago Boyz, the TV preferences of Democrats and Republicans.

It may be important to read the fine print. Some shows score well with both, just better on one side. The original post was about differences in Dem-Rep blogger attitudes. Also interesting.

It's a bit dated - Dec 2011.  So I raised my sons on sarcastic humor, probably because I was still a liberal when they were born and only gradually moved across the spectrum over the next decade.  A liberal time-bomb waiting to happen in my poor babies, who were trained to be secret liberals!  The guilt is overwhelming.

I have long claimed that this style of humor is endemic among liberals, and haven't liked the quality in myself.  I didn't expect to see it borne out in this way, though.  Funny thing is, I don't dislike that humor in the boys.  I think it's hysterical.

For the rest, I don't understand most of it, not having a TV.  Of what I have associations with the rest, I don't want to watch any of it.  Reality shows, dangerous work shows, and Dancing With The Stars to be a good Republican?  Ouch.  OTOH, I can be true to my culture and avoid The View, so that's okay.
