I had mixed feelings about the show.

I came to the conclusion that I love it.

Though it may not do much for the brain, it does a lot for the soul. The humour is a little silly sometimes, but these people are NOT, by any means, stupid hayseeds.

It is a feel good show - it gives us a glimpse into a family life that so many may be starved for. That’s why I think it has struck such a chord with the people.

Bingo. You touched on what I was thinking when I mentioned “city slickers” enjoying the show. I moved from my home of 45 years, Seattle, about two years ago to a 12 acre farm/forest in central KY. I expanded it to 32 acres last summer. I’m living what they do on that show. It’s like a corn farmer watching a reality show about corn farmers. A little bit, anyway.

Except I shaved off my beard last weekend. It was coming between me and my wife.

Which is why GLAAD and the left are now desperate to destroy it.

A&E wanted another "Honey Boo-Boo" and found out that the rednecks they wanted to make fun of made them look dull, petty and soulless.

It sort of feels like The Andy Griffith Show with modern and real people. Duck Dynasty is comfortable. Andy Griffith himself was/is a Liberal, but the show wasn't.
