    Hahaha, no way that would be a top program. It would be boring. You really think the crew on deadliest catch is dealing with "everyday problems"? When was the last time you risked your life on the ocean? But if you want to just say this us popular and this isn't based on your opinion, go ahead. Some people on this board do the sane thing....

    So Hollywood is evil? Are we morally bankrupt because of weed and sex without marriage? I see nothing wrong with either of those things. Luckily we've progressed since the thirties.

    Are you sure? And what do you base that on?

    By what is popular on TV now. You really think a show about some rural farmer and his generic, white, christian family would be a hit? Why? So people could watch a show about how they wish all American families acted? I mean I guess with all the super right and left wing media I guess it has a chance. There are networks entirely dedicated to church stuff and they survive. But I guess that would be paid for through the church

  • See "Duck Dynasty". See Christian, white family make duck calls, hunt, and be very funny.

    See a huge, blockbuster hit.

    See woodpecker crack his beak.

    Also, completely fake.

  • Anyone who thinks any of these reality shows aren't staged may be Retarded.

  • Fake and staged are two different things.

    The family is very real, very genuine. We were just on vacation there, and met several regular

    folks around town who say the Robertson family has been who they appear to be on TV,

    in real life, behind the scenes, for decades.

    The show? Of course it's scripted to a point. But it's also based on real things that have happened.

    Like Si taking his scooter to go to the deli to get some tea. It really happened. The owner is the son

    of the woman who works at the hotel we stayed at. Read the books, talk to real people, Logic.

    There is nothing completely fake about the Robertsons, or the show. In fact, Si is the one character

    who doesn't have any scripted lines in the show.

    Calling "completely fake" is total nonsense.

  • No? Not becoming a citizen and sucking off the government Is the right thing to do? Your parents must have sued people for money because that shows a real skewed moral compass

  • A cursory glance over Google reveals that all of the sons grew beards and put on for the show. It is quite fake.

    Cal, you just happen to vacation in Monroe, Louisiana?

    What is popular on tv, pray tell, that supports your bizarre anti white narrative?

    These are the most watched shows of the 2012-2013 season. While most feature ethnic characters I can't imagine what exactly leads you to believe no one is watching generic white people

  • Woody would prefer a black, gay couple raising a white baby with aids who was an atheist.

    ... uh.... I never said that...

    My point was some boring, generic family would not be a hit TV show. Generic = white in America. I guess I would have been better off without saying white. Especially with "black culture" guy and Cal "I am the real victim" on this board.

    Duck Dynasty is not a generic family. They are rich. They have personalities. The directors have scripted and put together what their audience wants. Could they do that with some random farmer's family? I guess. But it would get really unrealistic very quickly if they were to try to keep it entertaining.

    Why is Duck Dynasty so popular? Probably a lot of reasons. You have people like Cal that seek out news and media that agree with his conservative views. By watching a TV show that expresses some of these views, maybe it makes him feel better? Maybe he feel like he is fighting the liberal "man". Who knows. I am sure the producers have picked up on this section of their viewers and have made sure to keep the christian conservative angle going.

    Then there may be the Jersey Shore, Moonshiners angle, where people watch to make fun of the subjects on TV. They can look down at the "rednecks" and laugh. I am sure the producers are in on this too.

    Next I guess would be people that aren't there for the first to, but find the show genuinely entertaining. From what I have read, the guys on the show have interesting personalities. They're good guys. This could be why. I mean, that is one of the reasons I liked Rob and Big and why the Fantasy Factory is a good show.

    Is there some burning desire to see conservative Christians on TV? To watch a family on TV that people believe there family is like. Maybe. With catered news groups and websites I would not be surprised. The point I was trying to make is that you can't just take the conservative christian part of the mixture, the good ole America family part, and put that on TV and have it be a hit. Generic suburb family or generic farmer family would not get this many views. There is more to it than that

    Why would I want a baby to have AIDs?

    Do you contribute to these threads at all? It doesn't look like it.

    Is just the baby an atheist, or the couple too? It sounds like just the baby.

  • You keep saying "black culture guy" but have, as yet, failed to produce any evidence to back your assertion that black culture promotes anything good, wholesome, or healthy. So until you do ill just take that insult as an indictment that since you can't prove your point you're going to try and make me out to be a racist. It's a go to move for all people who hate an unsavory statement, but yet, can't disprove it.

    Woody needs to get out in the country and do some real work. Step in some cow shit brother.

    and then what, i will find jesus?

    The point of working hard in school was to get a good job, not manual labor. That isn't to say I don't like doing work outdoors now and then. When your dad has a bad back, and you are the only male on both sides of your family in the area, you are busy over break. I come home for summer break or whatever and I am digging out stumps, putting down mulch, etc.

    not gonna step in shit though

    I have said that a handful of times since that god awful thread that apparently was too much for Heck. I guess I can't blame him. I am never going to prove something to you that you don't want to be proved. That thread was awful. How you worded what you said was awful. It was painted in a terrible light. I am not going to open that shit up again. Pretend like this means whatever you want it to. Pretend like you "got me". Idc.

  • Heck ran off because his ideal narrative did not fit reality. Of course I painted it in a negative light. There is, when you bother to look into the facts, no way to paint it in a positive light. For a guy who's always on about how facts prove everything and opinion counts for nothing you're awfully good at shying away from facts you don't like.

  • I don't care a whit about "getting you" or anyone else on this board or anywhere. Statistics do all the talking that needs to be done. You can either accept them or try and spin them away, and pretend that every negative statistic is the result of pre conceived prejudice.

  • I could be wrong, but weren't your statistics just someone misinterpreting correlation and casual relationships? The only conclusion you could draw between higher crime rates where there is a higher percentage of blacks is that black culture is bad. And it became very racist when you started using Africa as an equal example to black culture here.

    It is a fact that murder rates increase with ice cream consumption. So ice cream causes people to kill? It is one thing to present facts and statistics. It is another to analyze them correctly

    I know... I said I wouldn't reply. We'll see how long this lasts.

    Loved Rob & Big.

    Fantasy Factory can be pretty painful to watch sometimes though (I haven't in a while, maybe newer episodes are better).
