Cable Favs for Dems and GOP-ers


How goofy. None of the results match up to anything I like. I prefer The Daily Show, Myth Busters, The Shield, Dresden Files, and nothing on A&E.

Democrats like Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.” Republicans like “South Park,” according to Nielsen Media, which has been looking into which cable shows are the most “engaging” among self-identified Democrats and Republicans. “Engagement” means the amount of attention paid to a show per the average viewer.

Channel by channel the results are as follows: Discovery: Democrats, “Deadliest Catch,” and Republicans, “Cash Cab”; FX: Democrats, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and Republicans, “Damages.” Finally, on the SciFi network, Democrats, “Tim Man,” and Republicans, “Doctor Who.” One Bipartisan winner: A&E’s Benjamin Bratt drama “The Cleaner.”
