Gov. Chris Christie's appeal rises above polarized nation

I lean more toward Deadliest Catch, Bering Sea Gold, Ax Men, Ice Road Truckers,... Oh, and I do like Alaska State Troopers, all though I haven't watched it since I moved home from Kansas.

I like Deadliest Catch, Axe Men, two gold shows (cannot remember names, Yukon Gold?  Jungle Gold?), Ice Road Truckers, but Christine isn't into Alaska State Troopers or I'd watch it too.  I get claustrophobia when I see people diving under ice, lol.

I like the Stargate SG1 stuff, Warehouse13, Eureka, Sanctuary, Fringe, Vikings, but I haven't seen any Breaking Bad... wish I had seen that from the beginning.  Christine likes the Touch series.

I like the various gold, auction, lumberjack, ice road trucker, and deadliest catch shows, but my favorite by far is Duck Dynasty.....

No PB, it's *Longmire,* not Whitmire. It's available on Hulu.

I normally hate cop shows, which I imagine is why Christine doesn't like Alaska State Troopers, but it is not like any cop show I've been forced to watch by evil men in my life, lol. It is really good (for what it is, you know).

Vikings is SO great and I've now watched the series twice and am looking forward to next season now that they're going to reup. OH! Another good one is Mountain Men. I started watching it because my cousin's best friend is on it, and now I really like it.

What the heck is Duck Dynasty?? It sounds like a cartoon!

Race drivers and crew members are required to wear nomex clothes once they get above the local track levels..

Ricey, Duck Dynasty is on A&E about a family in West Monroe, Louisiana that makes duck calls and associated things for a business.. It was started by Phil, who was a quarterback in college and saw a flock of ducks fly over and quit on the spot and started hunting ducks.. Terry Bradshaw was his backup.. After years of making duck calls and things for deer hunters, one of his sons took over the business with other relatives and friends as workers.. They made and sold DVDs for duck, and deer hunters until A&E put them on TV and the rest is history.. Almost all of them have long beards.. The weekly shows end with the family at the dinner table with Phil saying the blessing.. A&E asked them to cut out the prayer at the end of the show and the family said "we will quit right now if we have to cut out the prayer". They still have the prayer! :-) Uncle Si is the biggest part of the comedy part of the show.. He is actually retired from the army and spent time in Viet Nam.. They are all millionaires from the business and show.. The wives are all "city girls" except for Phil's wife who was one of the local girls from LA..

Are we supposed to stay on topic, Eric? Phooey!

I just found one on Netflix that cracks me up. "Outrageous Fortune" It's filmed in New Zealand and their expressions are priceless. One example is they call a toilet the "gobler".

Don't know if it's anywhere but Netflix, but Melissa, you should check it out.

Oh, and ugh, I like Chris Christie too.

Topic, schmopic. As long as we're having good conversations, I don't care.

Nor do I , darlin!

Well, I might have to check out Duck Dynasty... might be entertaining!

There are a few books written by Phil and Willie Robertson telling thier story..   Wal Mart even carries them..  LOL
