re: ‘Duck Dynasty’ vs. ‘Modern Family’: 50 Maps of the U.S. Cultural Divide

I've lived and worked in both big cities and rural areas. I don't think either have a lock on intelligence. There are plenty of smart and dumb people in both areas. There is a more simplistic view on life in general in rural areas, which is understandable. It's a slower pace of life, and in general the population is more homogeneous. And I think they just relate more to Duck Dynasty than Modern Family, though Modern Family seems set more in a suburban setting than a big city. I've only watched it a handful of times though.
