Manliest TV shows

Note: This list is for current television shows as of this December of 2011. You may add other television shows that have previously been cancelled in the comments section.








Lately, the stereotypes of men on television shows have been very immature. Although I appreciate the humor of "The Simpsons" I believe that Homer would be a bad role model for men in this modern era. Sitting on your fanny and watching sports while your wife does everything for you is not considered the least bit manly.
In other shows such as sitcoms, they manipulate women and consider this activity of bedding any dim-witted doll manly. This is the saddest of the forms of unmanliness as it degrades the act of chivalry towards women.
This is why I have created this list, which serves the purpose of entertaining a mans mind without losing any brain cells. Hopefully while watching these shows you will learn some lessons and care about the characters.
Starting with numero uno.

1. Mad Men

A popular show that examines the lives of advertising executives in the '60s. With a plot that makes you think and the historical wardrobe of the 1960's, you can't help but get mixed up in the mysterious, seductive world of business men. I like the character of Don Draper, who is dark and complex in his ways. He may even be the coolest character on television. Yet the manliest may still be...

2.Parks and Recreation

Sure the premise might not technically be manly. Its scary how much it resembles "The Office". Yet there is one character you may have heard of from this program. Ron Swanson. A libertarian who enjoys brunettes, breakfast foods, and hunting. He hates the government yet works for it in the Parks and Recreation section of the town of Pawnee. He may not be the main character of the show. Yet for thirty minutes a week you sould watch it, just for those 2 minutes of Ron Swanson awesome super mega explosion of masculine manliness.

3. Hell on Wheels

 Shady characters, horses, angry natives, and gun fights. How much more manly can you get. A western that follows a manly cowboy who's name will quickly escape you, that drops into a partying train construction town. The town, "Hell on Wheels" is full of out-laws, whore houses, and town drunks who create interesting stories within the town. A good show, if you ask me.

4. The Walking Dead

Focusing on how people deal with a zombie out break, the show strangely encompasses a large amount of drama instead of b-movie violence that is seen in most of the zombie movies and tv shows. The sherrif Rick Grimes is in a comma. He wakes up in a hospital and finds it completely trashed. Corpses surround him and he knows that he now must find his family. A gripping tale of what it means to be human, and when all else is gone what do you really live for.

5. Man Caves

When you here those two words mentioned you imagine some plump man eating pizza with his friends, playing the x-box on some 1000000 inch wide screen tv. This show will punch you in the nards repeatedly until you know what a real man cave is. Hosted by a ex-football player and a manly carpenter this show shows you how to build awesome theme man caves like a Corvette cave or a basketball cave. It shows you these things and tells you how to make them. Besides proffesional sports, this is a must watch show for any man.

The 7 Manly Skills

As stated in many different types of media (poems, books, blogs, movies), one of the most rewarding passages of life is from boy to man. Sadly this transition has been transferred to the more lethargic idea of eventually getting off of your lazy arse and finding a job. There is no more modern rite of passage, wrestling a bear, assembling machinery, and travelling in the woods to get in touch with your inner spirit. All of these are simple, don't involve any organized religious ceremonies (although bar mitzvhas and baptisms are still manly), and can be accomplished only with the knowledge of the 7 manly skills.

1.SOCIAL SKILLS

2.MANLY KNOWLEDGE

3.CREATIVITY

4.ATHLETICISM

5.SURVIVAL SKILLS

6.DIY SKILLS

7.PERSONAL SKILLS

Social skills involve being able to know how to be a charismatic, polite, chivalrous gentleman. This skill has almost been completely erased from the modern era, as men are becoming more primitive in their social abilities. Belching at the table, drinking as much as possible, and speaking with numerous "uh's, duh's, and um's, will give you but the stink eye.

Manly knowledge is my favorite. You must possess the talent to name every tool in your workshop, know who Bhanbhagta Gurun is, and know how to kill an animal in 20 different ways. You should know lots more things about gladiators also. They are cool.

Creativity can range anything from guitar playing to wood working. Creativity will boost your charisma and confidence as you will, after practice, posess incredible talent. Creativity also gives you personal entertainment in hobbies such as modelling.

Athleticism means one of those moments where you are challanged to a sport and wish you knew more about it and was more fit and healthy. You need to possess reflexes and agility, strength and speed. This will help you the next time you toss the old pig skin around with your friends or attempt to tackle in a game of mud rugby.

Survival skills will help you in a worst case scenario such as a hurricane. If you have a bug-out bag, extra flashlights and a bunker your pretty much set. But I'm more edging towards survival in the woods where you go all Rambo and skin a deer or yell out "Wolverine" and jump over a lake while holding that same deer.

DIY skills are so ridiculously reliable. Instead of paying a car mechanic to repair your car you can save money by doing it yourself. This ties in with man knowledge as you will have to have knowledge of the anatomy of a car and be able to re-install a broken window.

Personal skills help you by teaching you how to help your self. Once you move off to college you may have trouble growing a perfect moustache, getting a girl, or cooking. These are all things that will make you wish you knew how to do yet maybe did not have the neccessary materials to learn how to do this.
