Duck Dynasty kicked off its fourth season last Wednesday and they did it with a bang, raking in the highest ratings for any cable reality show in US history.
Yep, last Wednesday a whopping 11.8 million people rocked up to see what was going down in the bayou at the Robertson’s household.
You just know that kind of success has got to make miserable the dainty, little, progressive crowd who are trying legislatively and culturally to peel America away from the pro-God-and-country values that the cast of Duck Dynasty showcases with hairy-chinned hilarity.
Indeed, without a sex tape; without shoving transvestites down our throats; without lauding rank, familial dysfunctionalism; or parading feral children of the corn, or mocking God, or having sex on camera for their grandparents to see, or selling moonshine, or being naked and afraid, or having their children yell, “F--- you!” at their parents during church, America has voted with their time and with their cash that they would rather watch the Duck Commanders move through their day than watch the cultural chum slick that Hollywood dishes up, ad nauseum, et infinitum.
In contrast to the cultural-coarsening bilge that Hollywood and Manhattan churn out with predictable regularity, the Robertson’s are unabashedly pro-God, pro-guns, pro-hunting, pro-family, pro-self reliance, pro-capitalism, pro-charity, pro-America, pro-military and pro-respect for elders, and the show platforms that when you live like that, well … life tends to smile on those who honor such time cherished truths. Plus, they're laugh-out-loud funny.
That’s gotta hurt, eh, progressives? I mean, nearly every thing you and Tinseltown champions and lauds – this show is not. In addition, nearly everything Obama legislates, as the “Hope & Change” our nation, according to him, “needs” -- this show subtly screams against.
From a cultural standpoint this is very telling and muy encouraging to me. It appears as if millions and millions of Americans have a massive appetite for good, clean fun versus the self-destructive mayhem the societal deconstructionists are trying to foist upon us.
So, what does this cultural phenomenon mean? Well, it could mean that maybe, just maybe, our nation’s not, as it appears, going to hell in a hand basket.
Also, could it be that we’re finding our way back to God and traditional values via the squawk of a mallard call blown by Christian long-beards hiding in a duck blind?
God works in mysterious ways, eh?
Congrats to Duck Dynasty for their success and thank you, A&E, for having the cojones to put such a quality show on your channel amidst a lot of opposition.
I don’t have cable or satellite TV anymore (kicked DirecTV out last August) but I do have Netflix which is carrying the first season or two of Duck Dynasty. What a great show!! Absolutely love it. Going to have to find a way to see the current season online somewhere. Guessing Amazon Prime (which I also subscribe to) will carry the new episodes charging a buck or two to watch them. Money well spent IMO.

I have only watched one episode of the series out of curiosity when I happened to surf and hit the channel, I just set my DVR to record the new shows
*rme*
Folks are obviously hungry for “traditional values.” The GOP needs to run more “Traditional values” candidates. By the way - Rand Paul is NOT a traditional values guy...he is a libertarian wackjob. While he does have some good ideas, if he stays a “strict” libertarian he is an anathema to most traditional values.
It is so much fun to watch, I can’t remember enjoying a show as much. Good for them,
Si sticks in my craw...
That said, I love the freshness and the unadulterated respect shown by these characters. The show screams of love and truth. Uh, maybe a few white lies.
A&E has an app for iPad & it shows Duck Dynasty.
How do I get EWTN without subscribing to 200 other channels I don’t want?
The libs have to hate a family that can love God AND life at the same time.
Look for major Prog efforts too destroy these folks...upto and including an Obama Executive Order.
I think you can get full episodes of certain shows on line EWTN has a very good and logical website.
Uncle Si is a bonafide lunatic. Love it!
He’s my favorite.
And just think that most of TV was like this not that long ago.
AMC has run some “Rawhide” episodes and most of these episodes had a moral lesson in the story line.
Much different from the tripe coming out of the studios today.
Naturally!
