Republicans Love Them Some South Park

  • 19 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

We forgot to post this yesterday, but here’s an interesting story that is a fun break from the catfight of politics.

From Nielsen Wire:

Do politics play a role in TV viewing?

Yes and no, according to Nielsen IAG, which recently released data showing which cable programs are most “engaging” among self-identified Democrats and Republicans.

“Engagement” refers to the amount of attention paid to a television program by the average viewer.  Nielsen measures TV engagement by questioning a representative panel of viewers about their recall of specific telecasts’ content.

Nielsen’s analysis found that the cable programs that received the highest overall engagement scores – meaning viewers were most engaged in the shows’ content – also received the most bipartisan support, drawing high engagement scores from viewers of both parties, as well as from viewers who identify as political “Independents.”  

As might be expected, however, several programs had clear partisan bents.  On Comedy Central, for example, Democratic viewers paid the most attention to “The Colbert Report,” while “South Park” was the network’s most engaging show among Republicans.

Check out the list of TV shows on the Nielsen blog site or our abbreviated selevtion after the jump, and then comment below on which shows captivate you (and remember to say which Party you call home).  

HIGHEST BIPARTISAN ENGAGEMENT (CABLE SERIES)

1. The Cleaner

2. Real Housewives of Orange County

6. The Hills

7. What Not to Wear

HIGHEST REPUBLICAN ENGAGEMENT (CABLE SERIES)

1. South Park

5. Doctor Who

7. Rock of Love With Bret Michaels

HIGHEST DEMOCRATIC ENGAGEMENT (CABLE SERIES)

1. The Colbert Report

3. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

7. I Love New York

  1. I like the Colbert Report more then South Park.  I wonder where “Family Guy”, “Simpsons”, “King of the Hill” and “American Dad” fit into this?

  2. (R) favorite show of those listed, not on your poll: Dr. Who

    Perhaps you should go back and review the article, I don’t think you understand the methods and what they were attempting to illustrate.

    Typical dems, skewing polls and results to their benefit.

    If McCain wins in November, it will be due to dem racism.  All the dem finger pointing at Republican racism is nothing more than projection.

      1. You are aware that Most Dangerous Catch and Ax Men aren’t fantasy shows, right?

        Some people actually go out and work hard for a living.  They’re called Republicans.

        1. “Some people actually go out and work hard for a living.  They’re called Republicans”

          More vacation than any other President, plus he’s intellectually lazy.

          Sell stupid somewhere else rsquare.

  3. It certainly has its creative and funny moments. But in the overall, I find it cruel, juvenile, and violent.

    Just like the Republicans who watch it.  What a telling fact.

      Just like the Democrats who stage them.  What a telling fact.  

    1. Doctor Who and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  I enjoy South Park when I catch it,  but it really goes over the line in the bad taste department.  I guess it would fall under a guilty pleasure.
