A&E contract precludes the clan from doing another show for a certain period of time.

Since A+E suspended the number one character of the show, that's evidence that they wanted to destroy the show, thereby the Ducks are free to fly.

Hard to enforce a “non compete” of any kind when you are the party that cancelled the contract. Certainly I don’t know the ins and outs of this, but I would be shocked if there is not a way around it. Even if the show had to slightly change the name…… where there is market demand and a product available, no legalese can prevent the two from meeting.

The Robertsons don’t have to break the contract A&E will.

All the Robertson’s have to do is ... nothing.

If A&E just wants to film them doing nothing with Phil constantly there :) then they are welcome too. A&E can’t force the Robertsons to do ANYTHING funny or entertaining. So if A&E wants to have a season 5 of just watching them make duck calls without saying a word, then let them.

A&E breached their side of the contract by denying Robertson freedom of speech.

Robertsons need to sue A&E for breech of contract, and then buy what is left of A&E like they bought that winery.

In the meantime, they should bring in another network to film the whole process.

If A&E loses DD, they will simply go back to the irrelevant Arts and Entertainment of the past.

It might be a lesson to any other group that hits it big - in the contract: “Furlough one, furlough all - See Ya!”

Maybe they could start a spinoff — Goose Dynasty.

I remember when Showtime canceled Stargate SG-1 after five years and replaced it with a truly ghastly show about promiscuous gays*. SciFi picked SG-1 up and, although the switch from SHO to SCIFI resulted in the show being toned-down a bit, it went on by its 7th season to become the top rated SciFi show in the entire world (per TV Guide). At went 213 episode and two movies.

* The gay show collapsed
