In
yesterday's post, we shared the data on which popular TV shows North Carolina residents surveyed would cancel first. Today, we look at that data by
region of the state, and there are significant differences.
- American Idol has a lot of haters in the Southern region, where 19.4% of respondents would tube that show. That's a sharp contrast to their neighbors to the north, where only 1.8% of Coastal residents would get rid of the show.
- The Coastal folks don't like 24 much. They were the most likely region to pick that show to cancel, at 8.8%. The Southern region disagrees again, where only 2.8% would cancel 24.
- The Charlotte region wants to vote Survivor off the island. 24.7% are done with that show. Only 8.3% in the Southern region feel the same...most of them continue to give the show the immunity necklace.
- Speaking of islands, the Southern region also had 19.4% of folks wanting to get rid of Lost, putting it in a tie in that region with Idol. Charlotte has the most Lost fans, with only 6.5% choosing to cancel Locke, Kate, Jack and Sawyer.
- Nobody got too worked up about canceling E.R. (Now it could be because most people thought it was canceled years ago, but that's just us talking here...). The North Central region had 7.1% in favor of taking the show off life support. In contrast, the Western region had nobody (0.0%) give their votes to snuffing out E.R.
- CSI didn't have many people eager to investigate it, either. The Charlotte region at 3.9% slightly edged out the Triangle (3.7%) and the the Coastal (3.5%) region. The North Central folks came in lowest, at 0.9%.
- Everyone saved their animosity for Desperate Housewives, which might just prove that the brightest stars also flame out most brilliantly. The Coastal region kept their powder dry from other shows and used it here, with 40.4% saying they are tired of Wisteria Lane. The Southern region of the state was kindest, coming in at 25.0% who were no longer mourning the passing of Mary Alice.
With the American Idol finale going tonight, we may head to the Southern region, where we're confident it won't be showing... But hey, that's just us...

I would say lose American Idol this show has become the downfall of television.
No wonder Desperate Housewives has no fans...on the season finale, a housewife hangs herself after her lover finds out she's on the pill (!!). No lover, no life...right?
Can The Bachelor be a part of the next survey? Duke Med grad Andy proposed to Tessa in the season finale, but there is no hope for that relationship. The finale capped off the tenth miserable season of The Batchelor. Half of the "phenomenal" forced relationships have ended up in shambles. Even if the next batchelor (which will be better than the 10 previous ones, the producers will promise!) is from my alma mater, I'd prefer to watch REAL relationships grow...like that of Kate & Jack (or Kate & Sawyer?, Claire & Charlie, Juliette & Jack?).
Just don't cancel Lost - I have 6 episodes on DVR that I need to catch up on before the season finale at, oh, 9:00 tonight!
We probably won't ask this question again next time Anonymous, but it's cool that you watched the 10th season of the Bachelor all the way through even though you didn't like it...
I think a lot of the reality shows that have been around for multiple seasons need to go. Since American Idol has become so popular, if people were as talented as Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood they would've already auditioned for the show. There's no need to continue the search when the best talent should, theoretically, have already been discovered. Survivor isn't too exciting anymore either. How many different things can they do to make the contestants uncomfortable? I think the Southern part of North Carolina and the Charlotte area got it right!
Alright, Southern Region-after a LOST finale like that, how could you ever want to cancel the show?
I had read that five people were going to die on the finale...but 13 was way better (or is it 12, now that Locke came back to life?).
