I mean, some of them seem like obvious winning choices for those concerned with faith and spiritual messaging. But "Iron Man 3"? "Shark Tank"??? Others are interesting choices and, of course, they got a couple episodes of "Duck Dynasty" into the mix. Several others I'd never even heard of, but that doesn't mean much anymore.
