You got it. These folks put Clinton's arse in the shitter this past election. But hey, keep on overlooking these folks in 2020.

I think both of those shows are terrible. What does that mean?

Ed O'Neill is the main character (best known for playing All Bundy).

I don't watch TV much. I followed the last two seasons of South Park but that's about it.

This show played every morning at breakfast time in the hotel lobby when I was in Istanbul. The Germans and the Turks loved it.

Urban barista areas love their scripted reality, agenda/propaganda driven pushing tv shows, which is all you need to know about the leftwing nutjobs and those other < 1% of the population.

Modern Family? Well it is about an older guy whose wife dies(?). He remarried a Colombian woman who has a son by a previous marriage. One of his sons who is a gay man in a dedicated gay relationship who adopted an Asian baby. His daughter who is in a more or less normal relationship with three kids.

It's a pretty good show on the whole.


Oh, It's about a dysfunctional family.

I get it now.

What was the methodology for determining this? When I first read this I thought "Nielsen ratings" but their list doesn't even come close to comparing to Nielsen's (ex: Sunday and Thursday Night Football were numbers 1 & 3 with Big Bang being #2).


Also, rural Alaska is about as rural as it gets with vast stretches of complete wilderness. Having some level of colorization there strikes me as misleading.

Ha. You don't think the ratings for the Kardashians are higher in the urban areas than rural areas?

What? I don't have a problem with it. Gay people exist and a stable home with gay parents is probably better for a kid than most homes in America.

Actually, they are quite functional. It's the point of the show.

So people in the country watch shows about the country, and people in urban areas watch shows about living in a city?

This is basically saying that people in rural areas respect people who work hard for their living. While people in urban areas prefer things that are handed out and given to them and don't respect the working man.

Go figure.

Sounds like a show that normalizes moral decay of the family unit.
