You actually WATCH that garbage? PLEASE say you heard it on da street!
I saw a clip of it on YouTube.
I have sometimes wondered if tv ratings go along with the blue state/red state dichotomy. I wonder if Oprah does much better in the large metropolitan areas and I have wondered if the advertisers value the viewers from the blue metropolitan areas more than viewers from smaller communities. Ophrah, the View and many other tv shows reflect the values of liberal metropolitan areas. Yet there are large areas of the country that are socially conservative but the tv programming does not seem to reflect this. What gives with this? Does one metropolitan viewer equal two rural viewers in value to the advertisers?
I once saw a tv documentary about the Beverly Hillbillies show. The actress who played grannie said that one year any show that had a tree was cut off. The network was concerned with “demographics”. Even though the Beverly Hillbillies was still getting high ratings, the show was dropped. I seems that what she was saying was that the network did not want any rural themed programming. I don’t know what this was all about. I know that not all comsumers are created equal, people who are of a younger age group are valued more by advertisers than older consumers, so it may be possible that advertisers value urban viewers more than rural viewers. This could explain why the values of many tv shows go against the traditional values of the country.
