A&E had the competition ducking for cover Wednesday, as its redneck reality smash “Duck Dynasty” kicked off its new season with a whopping 11.8 million viewers — the largest audience ever for a non-fiction cable series.

Yep, they are so dumb they turned a duck call business that the father did into a million dollare business... what have you do lately? lol and oh that praying to Jesus stuff much make your head explode...
You never seen it?
I watched about 4 minutes of that this crap over a year ago....This is one of those show that leaves ya feeling really stupid just by watching it...
This many viewers proves ya got millions with not a flipping thing to do but gawk as senseless bull sh*t.
#82 applies to that and 99 percent of other senseless cow flop they broadcast on the TaVa.
Hard to believe people could sit there and watch this cheet...There are hordes of the easily amused ignorant out there.
I did nothing to denigrate their entrepreneurship or their faith. I said that “reality shows” are the height of fakeness, and this show is no exception.
He was actually quite gracious about the whole thing but joked that he was "facially profiled"
As for Phil and Si? Seriously their combined knowledge of the woods and survival skills would likely be far above most Freepers. It had to be. Their parents were very poor and hunting and fishing was the only meat source they had growing up.
Duck Dynasty sure beats The Simpsons, Southpark, The Osbournes, Bevis and Butthead, and other so called family entertainment by miles.
One friend of my dad we hunted with a lot was a real character. His idea of a belt for his pants was a piece of rope. It didn't matter if it was hunting or at work he wore the rope as a belt. To look at him you'd think he didn't have a cent. He could walk onto a car lot and pay cash for any new van he wanted to use for camping. He was also the one who one afternoon after my dad spotted a young coon going into a log decided that we should catch it. LOL He finally got the coon. And the coon was not pleased about it either. :>} The guy could build a fantastic mislead, make knives, or paint very detailed pictures on canvas.
Another friend of my dads we back country fished with had a habit of pushing his luck with bears. He got into some rather now comical situations.
They said, “Good luck”.
If it had been an Obamaton, they would have Gloria Allred on the phone by now.

Humor goes a long way in teaching folks a lesson.
I read his recent book and he was talking about his sons when they were young and impressionable.
A couple of one of boys decided to go play baseball with some mailboxes and Phil got wind of it. When the boys came into the yard with the car, all of them got 3 licks, even the boys who were not his sons.
Told them they either took the licks or they would never come back on the property.
He was driving home from hunting on Halloween night and in a small town some boys standing at the county courthouse proceeded to start throwing pears at his car. It was an 55 Plymouth wagon and built like a tank.
Dad decided to put some fear into them. He stopped and got out then started string up his bow. They scattered for safer places. He had no intentions of harm though.
About 20 years later he was at work in the lunch room and was telling the story to a co-worker. Another guy sitting at the table said yea we thought you were gonna kill all of us LOL. He was one of the kids.
My dad made me behave he expected me to and there was punishment if I didn't. But he was also one to give me freedom many kids never experienced. When I was about 14 he'd take me to the lake and help me set up camp, launch the boat with an old open faced Evinrude 7.5 hp motor, and leave me there with the dog and a rifle for up to a month in the summer. He'd come up at least every other day to check on me bring ice and some food etc. That was in the early 1970's. Our nation sure has changed.
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, stand for nothing, be nothing.
It doesn't work.
The left are bullies and bullies always find a reason even if they have to invent something.
Aesop knew this three thousand years ago, perhaps that is why they quit teaching him in school.
Hey, “when you don’t know.........do it quickly”, isn’t that the way Obama Care was passed!?!?!
DD is very entertaining and I’d rather follow the Robinson Boys than those hideous Kardashian’s.
He sure was gracious and un-Baldwinlike. He laughed it off instead of calling in the ACLU or Sharpton for the press effect. Refreshing.
The right is represented with class... Allen West, Sarah Palin, etc. and they are still eviscerated by the msm/left. Heck, even gwb has more class in his little finger than zero has in his entire body and he was mocked/derided beyond reason.
I don’t care what progressives say about DD or about conservatives. They are brain dead idiots and their opinion is worthless to me.
The family doesn’t seem to have an monster ego like most in TV. They do seem like real people...good show...:O)
One of the funniest things my dad and I did was on a family camping trip. We had the place on the lake to ourselves all week. By the weekend it was getting kinda full. We had been calling in Young Hoot Owls at night all week into a tree above our camp.
The kids were after me to call the owls up. I figured with as many campers and lights going it wasn't gonna happen. So I said OK let's go up into a field about 500ft from the campground to the edge of the woods and I'll try there. I started calling and they didn't come to where I was. They all went to the campground about a dozen of them. A young Owl about half grown also can sound like a monkey. Imagine a tree full of them in East Tennessee LOL. You never heard a campground quieten down so fast LOL. A few yelled what is that? Some packed up and left too LOL. It was priceless and no one was ever the wiser except the family.
