Reception

Doomsday Preppers has received varied reviews. Neil Genzlinger in The New York Times condemned it as "absurd excess on display," noting "what an easy target the prepper worldview is for ridicule" and "how offensively anti-life these shows are, full of contempt for humankind."{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/12/arts/television/doomsday-preppers-and-doomsday-bunkers-tv-reality-shows.html |title=Doomsday Has Its Day in the Sun |newspaper=The New York Times |first=Neil |last=Genzlinger |authorlink=Neil Genzlinger |date=March 11, 2012 |access-date=May 28, 2012 }} Nevertheless, "The program has been a ratings bonanza, with a 60-percent male audience, with an average age of 44."{{cite news |url=http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2018203926_preppers14m.html |title=Preppers do their best to be ready for the worst |newspaper=The Seattle Times |first=Erik |last=Lactis |date=May 15, 2012 |access-date=October 25, 2013 |publisher=The Seattle Times Company |archive-url=https://archive.today/20131025143921/http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2018203926_preppers14m.html |archive-date=25 October 2013 |url-status=live }} "Doomsday Preppers is the network's most-watched series".{{cite news |last=Raasch |first=Chuck |title=For 'preppers,' every day could be doomsday |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/11/12/for-preppers-every-day-could-be-doomsday/1701151/ |access-date=25 November 2012 |newspaper=USA Today |date=13 November 2012 |publisher=Gannett}} Brooklyn Bagwell, casting director for the second season, claimed it was the highest-rated show in the history of the National Geographic Channel.{{cite news |last=North |first=John |title='Doomsday Preppers' casting director aims to be prepared, too |url=http://www.ashevilledailyplanet.com/news/2771-doomsday-preppers-casting-director-aims-to-be-prepared-too |access-date=18 November 2012 |newspaper=Asheville Daily Planet |date=28 May 2012 |publisher=Star Fleet Communications}}

In response to negative comments, Jay Desai, who was featured in the show's first season, responded: "We don’t make it an obsession like some folks but we do spend a fair amount of time and money on it. ... you can’t always rely on the government or society to help you. The more people that are prepping minded, the better off we’ll all do."{{cite news |url=http://www.2012prepared.com/interview-with-a-doomsday-prepper/ |title=Interview with a Doomsday Prepper |work=2012 Prepared |year=2012 |access-date=May 28, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029193408/http://www.2012prepared.com/interview-with-a-doomsday-prepper/ |archive-date=29 October 2013}}
