I have NOT watched a modern sitcom since probably the NEWHART show at the INN

I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden there is this wonderful show called Duck Dynasty that is somehow all of a sudden suitable for family viewing.

Are there no references to gays ever? Is there not just one sarcastic line after another followed by can laughter? Double negatives one after another

Forgive me but I am not about to change my policy in regards to modern sitcoms because NY Post and some people say it`s a wonderful Christian family show, I just find this very hard to believe

Would this program be on in a the Billy Graham household? Would a Pentecostal Minister who does not allow modern sitcoms in his home to unpacck the tv from the attic to make sure his family sees Duck Dynasty?

In my opinion Christians should not be watching any of the Hollywood modern movies or sitcoms

But wait a minute, now there is a tv show called Duck Dynasty that every chiild and family should view, because its so family oriented with great Christian values for all

Yes I add sarcasm

My brother tried to tell me I should start watching BIG BROTHER just because a nice Christian girl from Facts of Life.. Lisa Welchel or something like that needs money

No thanks

First, it’s not a sitcom. It’s an unscripted “reality” show. And the family gathers at the table and prays at the end of each episode. Once the producers even let “in Jesus’ name” slip through.

You really should watch the show. It’s about a family business, men being men, God, and guns.

Cynical much? Sounds like you could use a vacation.

It's not all of a sudden. DD is in it's 4th season but the msm has just now found it. It's as far away from Hollyweird as you can get.

The only time I remember anything GLBT is the one episode where Miss Kay hired a photographer to do a family portrait of her, Phil her husband of 48 years and their two dogs. Phil sort of rolled his eyes at the guy but that was about it. Maybe two sentences.

There is no canned laughter because it doesn't need it. At the beginning, the producers would bleep a word until Phil told them to stop it because no one was cussing. If the producers suggest a plot, they won't do it unless it's what they'd normally be doing.

Yes, I do believe Billy Graham would approve. Phil is a born again Christian and speaks at churches. All the sons are married. Alan, the oldest, is a preacher. Willie and his wife adopted two minority children and are foster parent advocates. Jase claims he saved himself for marriage. Uncle Si, a Viet Nam vet, is addicted.... to tea. At the end of every episode, family and friends gather around the dinner table as Phil says grace.

This is one show parents don't have to cringe when the kids are in the room. This is one show kids should be watching. Phil and Kay's grandkids are respectful, say yes sir and no sir and there's not a potty mouth in the bunch. It's all about good wholesome family values and togetherness. Heck, The Andy Griffith Show is controversial compared to DD.
