What is a better show, Nick TMNT or Duck Dynasty?
 
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 09-03-2013 03:46 PM

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!"

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

I choose tmnt

Donatello19 09-03-2013 04:00 PM

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

Zachatello00 09-03-2013 04:00 PM

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?

^ 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 09-03-2013 04:51 PM

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 09-03-2013 05:02 PM

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 09-03-2013 05:10 PM

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

Jester 09-03-2013 05:11 PM

You sir, are missing a very fun show.

NinjaMan 09-03-2013 05:11 PM

Tmnt for me.

BabyTurtles 09-03-2013 05:24 PM

what's Duck Dynasty??? :-?

TMNT gets my vote by default I guess :D

InsaneZane 09-03-2013 05:49 PM

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

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.

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 09-03-2013 05:57 PM

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

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 09-03-2013 06:27 PM

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.

Considering I live in the south, I take offense to that.

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 09-03-2013 11:44 PM

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.

I know, I laughed uproariously when I sent my lawyer to serve her with the summons for stealing my material.

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

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^^

Leo656 09-04-2013 01:11 AM

Ouch. You guys are harsh.

EDIT: That was so vicious I had to get out the ol' "Double-Barrel".

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 09-04-2013 02:27 AM

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:
