I watch an equal amount from each list. I wonder if I could use that as a convincing argument that I'm a middle of the road non-partisan type?

It doesn't surprise me that Mad Men scored low with Republicans, considering how bad the show makes them look.

Does anyone else think it's ironic that "Lie to Me" is on the Republican list?

Not surprised a lot of CBS shows scored high with Republicans. Those ratings need to come from somewhere. Only thing I watch regularly on the Republican list is American Idol.

Of course most of my favorite shows on the list have been in ratings limbo. Damages and Friday Night Lights are being kept alive by the DirecTV 101 network, and Community is being out-rated by friggin Outsourced.

I certainly didn't expect "Modern Family" to be on the Republicans' list.

Strummer - Outsourced isn't up against Big Bang Theory.

True Q, but NBC has treated their Thursday lineup so bizarrely the last year or so. I am not even sure what they are trying to do with Parks & Rec after greenlighting Outsourced for a full season.

I would miss Parks & Rec

Who the fukc cares.

Maybe if we all stop analyzing every single thing as a 'Republican' or 'Democrat' point we can start feeling like AMERICANS.

Which is really what this country needs.

Well said NYadgal

A little civility in political discourse might be nice but when a former president is described as the Devil you have nowhere to go but up.

DADT was put in force during a democratic administration.

Not sure what DADT has anything to do with this, but this was not the first time I saw a list like this. In the early aughts I could have sworn Time or Newsweek had a similar list divided this way. Everybody Loves Raymond was high on the Republicans list and Will & Grace and the Law & Orders were high on the Democrats list.

But honestly, isn't this country mostly non-registered, identifying Independent voters?

Despite what people think, I am a registered Independent.

The increasing polarization of our political system is starting to alarm me a bit.

It's the polarization within society in general that alarms me - and I don't necessarily just mean American.

If you go by that list, I'm 100% republican (I've watched at least a few episodes of 7 shows on the republican list and haven't seen more than a few minutes of anything on the democrat list)... uhh ohh.
