In addition to cancelling its popular “American Guns” reality show, The Discovery Channel confirmed to Raw Story on Tuesday that firearms enthusiast Ted Nugent will also not be returning to the channel in any form or fashion.

Speaking to Raw Story in remarks specified as “not for attribution,” a spokesperson admitted that “Ted Nugent’s Gun Country” didn’t do very well when it aired in October, even with fellow firearms fashionistas. Nielsen Ratings placed the viewership at about 864,000 people in all. But the network’s decision is not just about the numbers.

After Friday’s devastating massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the spokesperson said that Nugent would definitely not be returning to the Discovery Channel. . .

16. Welcome to DU, farminator3000!

Take a number!

Glad you're here! I nominate ted nugent for president and grand wazoo of Somalia. It's his dream country!

Total anarchy!
Pirates and warlords running amok and controlling everything!
No laws or regulations!
No government worth anything!
All the money in a very few select big-shot pirate hands!
Millions of poor, homeless, displaced, sick, starving and nobody cares - nobody even HAS TO!!!!
And guns of all kinds - everywhere and anywhere - limitless! All you can eat!
WOW!!!!!

Hey ted - have I got a country for YOU! And take all your little firearm-worshipping friends with you! Knock yerselves out!

[llmart]

[calimary]

17. Welcome to DU, frazee!

Good to have you with us!

ted nugent should consider the advice I always gave our kids: if you act like a jerk, you're gonna get treated like a jerk!

[frazee]

19. Thank you.

And I will check out your boy's band.

[bluedigger]

6. At last! More time for touring and composing new music!

[Auntie Bush]

11. I would never watch or listen to anything that remotely had anything to do with Nugent!

[ROBROX]

7. I WATCHED THAT PROGRAM

I do not own any of the gun they show or talk about since I am not a gun nut. It is interesting to watch the mechanics of assembling the guns like the car or other task related programs.

I do not listen to any of the other guys music. I be a dead head.......

8. "Discovery" channel

Just one of the reasons I got rid of TV.

Nothing but garbage.

[awoke_in_2003]

15. They used to be good...

now everything is "reality" shows.

[alp227]

21. Aww, you don't like even PBS or CSPAN?

[mrdmk]

10. Cannot watch the Discovery Channel nor many of its counterparts such as

Animal Channel and The History Channel because of cheap reality programming. Our TV line-up seems to be flooded with formulated Jerry Springer T & A and lets see 'who gets thrown-off of the island', shows. Having that idiot Ted Nugent on the Discovery Channel was a new low for a science based station.

A Ted Nugent story, I was at a concert back in the 1980's and Ted came onto the PA system with a backstage interview. He started talking about being a hunter and blowing away animals for sport. People in the audience began to boo. Being at a concert and the audience giving a quarter of their attention to the announcements for this or that, the question started going around, 'Who is this asshole?'

Poor Ted, a day late and a dollar short just did not get his day in the sun with his God giving gun in hand...

20. Discovery wouldn't last so long as a profitable competitor to PBS.

hence the reality shows. At least the PBS shows like American Experience, Nova, etc. are available on DVD/Netflix/streaming online. And PBS has the best daily evening news show in my opinion, the PBS NewsHour.

12. Kick to curb??

I would like to kick that big mouthed draft dodging lying sack of shit right back into the sewer he crawled out of!!

[LiberalFighter]

14. Nugent probably has poor target shooting skills.

Likely couldn't shoot the mole off of his dick. Let him prove he can.

[Tabasco_Dave]

18. Nuge can still make a living

Playing county fairs, Indian casinos and gun shows.

[budkin]

22. Good. Maybe he'll put one of those things in his mouth and pull the trigger.

We can only hope...

[Sherman A1]

23. Oh, I think this is all about the numbers

If the show had done well, it would still be going on. While it might be nice to see it go, it is all about not getting the viewers.

[Frank Cannon]

24. Well, he promised to be dead or in jail...

if the President were reelected. Maybe this is a sign that he's going to keep his promise.
