After Friday’s devastating massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the spokesperson said that Nugent would definitely not be returning to the Discovery Channel.

I’m with you. Seriously considering dumping cable.
Fine. Glenn Beck needs more programming for Blaze TV.
Get rid of cable or satellite tv. Get an antenae for some local junk if you must . Internet service can provide all you need, plus the ability to be selective in what you watch, Netflix Hulu etc.
I suggest they cancel any shows about Chicago until they clear up the 436 murders for 2012. Maybe Obammy will cry a little for Chicago.
That would be tough for me to do, but I have been thinking about it too.
Wang Dang Sweet Poontang. Discovery will pay for that.
DO IT! I did it in 2006 and its great. Why do conservatives
financially support the media industrial comples which
openly despises them and actively works to destroy their
philosophy.
At least try it for a while..
Im still waiting on the media to call Jamie Foxx an accessory to murder for last week telling the SNL audience that killing white people is “Great” not a peep from the media.
Obama won’t cry for them because even though they are dead they still voted for Obama in November
Nugent raises the averaqe IQ of Discovery’s programming above their target audience. That’s bad for ratings.
So, why is Nugent being punished? He didn’t harm anyone.
He didn’t have any viewers either. When people don’t watch your show, it gets cancelled. I laugh at all the threads about this show. Such interest in the cancellation but zero interest while it was on. That is the reason it was cancelled....a dismal amount of people watching. Breaking Amish and Hooney boo boo have incredible ratings in comparison. Perhaps we could have Honey Boo Boo using a weapon. Perhaps that will make you guys happy.
Yea so why are the canceling the American Guns show? It had good ratings for that network.
Don’t hurt yourself trying to think of an answer.
You’re foolish to think this has to do with ratings. It’s an agenda. And your smart ass answer about Honey Boo Boo shooting a gun? That would be more productive than what they really do on that show. Uneducated morons and their teen pregnant daughter and useless father, fat mother.
That show adds more to the cultural rot than a gun.
Oh wow. In 1968 did they have a tv show about guns that nobody watched too? The show barely get a million people watching. Heck Hooney Boo Boo had six million eye balls.
Because Honey Boo Boo and Ancient Aliens are so much more redeeming?
Sorry but that is what people are watching...honey boo boo. It is not my fault. I wonder how many episodes of American Guns you watched or even if you knew it was even on. I had no idea and obviously nobody else did either. The network gave it TWO seasons to get some eye balls and it failed. Money is the bottom line when it comes to watching TV shows. You can jump up and down saying differently but that is the bottom line. Now you should be pissed at the American public for not watching the show.
More h3ll to pay.
You guys? The comment I made was regarding the fact that they said his show was cancelled after the Sandy Hook incident. If it was cancelled only because of ratings, why mention Sandy Hook? This article makes it seem he was cancelled to punish him.
Perhaps you need an attitude adjustment. What say you?
Have you tried antennae? You won’t get Discovery, but each station usually has 3 different broadcasts simultaneously.
