There are significant differences between liberals and conservatives as far as which entertainment TV shows they find appealing, according to a joint study between Hub Entertainment Research and the Advertising Research Foundation that tested twelve shows. While “Friends,” “Fallout,” “NCIS,” and “Suits” held equal appeal to viewers on both sides of the ideological spectrum, not surprisingly, “Late Show With Stephen Colbert” and “Saturday Night Live” had the most skewed likability scores. ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” was the other show whose appeal was significantly greater among liberals than conservatives. “Yellowstone” and “Love Is Blind” were the two shows tested that held greater appeal for conservative viewers. “These results suggest many entertainment shows have differential appeal for liberals and conservatives,” said Mark Loughney, Hub Research Senior Consultant. “Appealing characters and strong relationships form the foundation for popular series among all viewers. But content creators aiming for wide appeal should also consider whether their programs contain implicit biases against viewers on the political right or left. In addition to considering potential demographic skews, creators should also consider the political values of their target audience.”
