What is a better show, Nick TMNT or Duck Dynasty?

[Andrew NDB]

According to the ratings, Duck Dynasty is: its season premiere garnered 11.8 million viewers while the series premiere of TMNT only garnered 3.9.

What say you, the followers of all things Turtles?

[dkram230]

Hmm... I'm not sure this poll will tell us much. Both shows are targeted at much different demographics, Nick TMNT was essentially a brand new show while Duck Dynasty was already going on its 2nd or 3rd season, and this forum itself is probably going to be a little biased. That being said, "Of Course, TMNT!"

[alliance]

its a bunch of hillbillies shooting sh*t.. ofcourse its gonna draw attention of americans..

I choose tmnt

[Donatello19]

I have never heard of "Duck Dynasty"...nor do I ever intend to watch it...so, TMNT.

[Zachatello00]

I think the more pressing question is, which is better, peanut butter or apple juice?

These shows are completely different from each other. Why compare them?

[Jester]

^ has never actually watched Duck Dynasty.


I agree with the consensus that both shows shoot for different demographics. It's like literally comparing Turtles to Ducks...

I actually like both. I was reluctant about DD, but my wife fell in love and dragged me along for the ride. All in all, though likely very VERY scripted, a fun and very funny show.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, both shows are different for sure. I like Duck Dynasty, though Mom watches it more than I do. Still, I'm not voting in this poll because I honestly don't understand the meaning of this topic. Duck Dynasty was going on before Nick TMNT premiered, so it's kind of moot to even compare them.

[Jester]

That's true too. Duck Dynasty is on it's 4th season. More than enough time to gather a fan base excited for the new season.

Maybe comparing season 4 of TMNT to season 4 of DD would yield more accurate comparisons.

In fact...let's compare TMNT season 1 to DD season 1. Doing so, using the logic of the 1st post, makes TMNT the winner because the pilot of DD only garneres 1.81 million viewers to TMNT's 3.9.

Yea, maths!

[CyberCubed]

What the hell is duck dynasty? I have never heard of it before.

[Jester]

You sir, are missing a very fun show.

[NinjaMan]

Tmnt for me.

[BabyTurtles]

what's Duck Dynasty??? :-?

TMNT gets my vote by default I guess :D

[InsaneZane]

You're asking a bunch of TMNT fans if they like a bunch of ZZ-Top wannabes better than their favorite heroes-in-a-half-shell? :trolleye:
Not only are reality shows extremely over rated but this one specifically is just packed with American stereotypes and half-baked quotes

[NinjaMan]

what's Duck Dynasty??? :-?

TMNT gets my vote by default I guess :D

It's a show about rednecks who own a duck caller/signal company. They're a family owned business who have made a ton of money. They eat road kill and do typical redneck stuff lol. My wife watches them from time to time.

I think you're blending Duck Dynasty with Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo.

[NinjaMan]

I think you're blending Duck Dynasty with Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo.

Nah honey boo boo is beyond rednecks lol but duck dynasty did have the episode where the mom explained how they eat road kill

[RaphAndDonnie]

Turtles, definitely. I've watched Duck Dynasty with my parents and it's just...bleh.

[Shark_Blade]

I have never heard of "Duck Dynasty"...nor do I ever intend to watch it...so, TMNT.

This...

Duck Tales is better I guess, eventhough I've never heard or watch this Duck Dynasty. Sounds like chinese Kungfu ducks like Kungfu panda.

[CyberCubed]

So we're comparing some dumb redneck hick show with hillbillies to TMNT?

Are these families all inbred as well? I'm sure at least one of them married their cousins. Damn hicks down south.

XD why are we comparing that too TMNT?
TMNT is a cartoon show...shouldn't that it be compared with other cartoons?

is Duck Dynasty on Nick?

LOL I guess Andrew comparing the season opening ratings is what makes them comparable to him lol. Duck Dynasty is on A&E I believe.

Whooooooooooa, buddy. If this doesn't show people what a piece of sh*t you are, I dunno what will.

Just when I thought you couldn't be more ignorant, you post this tripe that's far dumber than anything Si Robertson has ever uttered.

If you've never seen the show, stop spouting off your ignorant, just plain stupid thoughts.

Gotta love internet anonymity allowing you to spout off like this about a whole region...

EDIT: Andrew...are you just trollin' the forums creating threads you know will self destruct?

You know I'm not talking about the whole south, just those select areas where the hillbilly white trash live. Just like in NY where I live there's a gangster criminal element scattered around.

I don't know why reality shows like that get so many viewers. Are there actually people out there who enjoy watching these people do disturbing/ridiculous things?

It's really not like most reality shows...it's actually very mundane and ordinary, not disturbing/ridiculous. I swear it's mostly scripted because it almost plays out like a sitcom disguised as a reality show.

[Roseangelo]

Ratings aren't an indicator of what is a "better" show. Doctor Who is obviously the best show on TV right now (well, when it is on - and IMO, but my opinion is the only one that counts so that makes it a fact) and it will never be a ratings juggernaut.

[Jester]

(IMO, but my opinion is the only one that counts so that makes it a fact)
I laughed inappropriately too long at that... :P

Andrew, when I saw this thread title, I totally thought it was a CyberCubed-created thread.

[InsaneZane]

Hi! I listen to every stereotypical thing I hear on tv and read online. I have no capability for original thought at all. I'm one of the biggest racist hypocrites that you'll never meet because I'm too busy trolling the internet 24/7. I'm a virgin, porn-loving nerd who lives in his momma's basement and hates on everything I possibly can. I eat spam and drink hot air so I can blow it back out of my fugly face a.k.a. @$$hole (since I use both parts of my anatomy for the same thing: taking $#!+s and shoving in long cylindrical objects such as hotdogs)

You might as well be saying this^^

Ouch. You guys are harsh.

And for the record, porn is what's keeping the world from descending into World War III. Let's not say things we can't take back by attacking pornography. Seriously.

This. both are good and totally different. both are aimed at a completely different demograph.

Damn Zane...Damn

[Refractive Reflections]

Are the results/opinions really that surprising since we are on a TMNT forum? The lack of depth in Andrew's question in creating this thread, makes me question how sincerely he wants to know. :lol:

good point, to be fair I said nothing wrong about porn...
I said he was porn-loving and I have no idea if thats true or not, just felt like it added to his uselessness.

I also called him a nerd and thats not fair to all the awesome nerds out there,
I myself am a geek of sorts (thats why I'm here)

I'll admit it, I was flaming him cuz he dissed my southerners
I shouldnt have said that about porn or nerds, but everything else still applies

(Hey, look ... I can take it back)



Damn Zane...Damn

Muahhahahahaha :tlol::tlol::tlol::tlol:

[BubblyShell22]

I can't blame you for reacting that way, Zane. Sometimes, Cubed can be very annoying and insulting.

[Leo656]

I think he's a performance artist. It explains a lot if you take that perspective.

This question confuses me.....

good point, I bet he gets off on all the negative reactions after he posts.
He's gotta be extremely fake.

Well rednecks DO tend to live in southern states. That's just how it is.

I have nothing against country folk myself.

[CyberCubed]

I see this thread is almost as successful as Andrew's previous thread about it being time for a gay turtle.

[Jester]

They were successful in showing you in a brilliant light.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Duck Dynasty is just too dumb imo, so Nick TMNT FTW!

[Shark_Blade]

So someone voted Duck Dynasty.


Seriously? :P

[Jester]

I'm debating it...just because the poll is so (predictably) one sided

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Why not have a poll of what is better, TMNT or Survivor or American Idol?

I'd rather watch a show about overgrown turtles than a "reality" show.

[Leo656]

I see this thread is almost as successful as Andrew's previous thread about it being time for a gay turtle.

There was a lot goin' on in that thread actually. Some good conversation and debates and such.

This one's pretty weak by comparison, but it's having its moments. None of them have anything to do with the thread topic, but that's fine.

[DonatelloNinja82]

I have never heard of this show. So obviously TMNT for me. Sounds like a reality show? I don't like reality tv much. I don't have cable, either, and even when I did I didn't watch anything but cartoons.

[BubblyShell22]

I'm a sucker for reality TV but only certain shows. Now, if you were to ask me which is better comparing TMNT and The Amazing Race, I would have a harder time choosing because I like both. But for this, it's obvious that TMNT is better.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

I love how many people never heard of this **** lol
Like... you could just walk through a WalMart and see their giant display for everything their stupid bearded faces are on.
It's like TMNT in the 80s and 90s how they were on everything.

And I'm really pissed that I have seen people online who ASSUME that ZZ Top are associated with these Duck Clowns... And I think I have heard their songs used on this show's TV promos... grr

[DonatelloNinja82]

I'm tunnel vision when I go to Walmart. I want to go in and get out. Toy section or grocery section are all I really go to. I have not seen any of the displays. Of course now that I know about them, I am sure I will be on the lookout. :P

[InsaneZane]

And I'm really pissed that I have seen people online who ASSUME that ZZ Top are associated with these Duck Clowns... And I think I have heard their songs used on this show's TV promos... grr

I didnt say they were associated, I said they were wannabes:

You're asking a bunch of TMNT fans if they like a bunch of ZZ-Top wannabes better than their favorite heroes-in-a-half-shell? :trolleye:

I love ZZ Top, but the DD guys grow their beards so long... the comparison is inevitable and unavoidable

[BubblyShell22]

You know, I don't think DD is half as bad as Porter Ridge on the Discovery Channel. Mom's watching it right now, and these guys are so dumb, it's not even funny. I had to leave the room because I couldn't stand their stupidity. Hell, one guy even has a pet bear. He better hope that thing doesn't attack him some day.

[Jester]

And I'm really pissed that I have seen people online who ASSUME that ZZ Top are associated with these Duck Clowns... And I think I have heard their songs used on this show's TV promos... grr
The opening theme of the show is Sharp Dressed Man...

[Jeff]

I voted for Duck Dynasty because my vote, like this post, is a joke.

[Aaronardo]

Duck Dynasty is a boring, stereotypical show, and I never saw what was so funny about it. Even when I WANTED to laugh at it, I didn't laugh. I just moaned.

TMNT on the other hand has every likeliness of a great show. The comedy, the action, the acting, DAT PLOT. Well, you get the idea.

TMNT all the way. Duck Dynasty is just a dumb show that I just don't see what is so funny about.

[pannoni1]

You can't use your imagination on reality TV, and that's what makes us improve. I've never see an episode of Duck Dynasty and unless by accident won't see one. Now, if Duck Dynasty started to incorporate elements from that old NES game with the Zapper, then I'd might reconsider.

Honestly, Duck Dynasty isn't my cup of tea, so I avoid watching it at all costs.
