A&E has placed Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson on indefinite hiatus following anti-gay remarks he made in a recent profile in GQ.
"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty," A&E said in a statement. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."

This is the best I can do. I hope that gives you a good overview of the article.

“Duck Dynasty” season four finale means the fans now wait for the next “Duck Dynasty” season to roll out, but is the show going to be renewed? It would be ludicrous for the “Duck Dynasty” series to go off the air after it has gained such a popularity among all age groups. What are the Robertson folks feeling about another season of their family life displayed on film?
According to Reality TV Magazine on Nov. 1, season four might have seemed a bit too short for the fans. The fans aren’t wrong, the season was shorter than normal for A&E’s most popular show. “Duck Dynasty’s” Jase addressed the short season recently on his Facebook page:
“Season 4 seemed a bit shorter than usual because…it was. However, we added another season to the filming cycle so actually there will be more total episodes when all is completed. The success of the show can be attributed to your support.”
This means the Robertson family will grace the TV screen with new episodes of “Duck Dynasty,” according to Jase anyway, but what about A&E and the rest of the Robertson family? A&E is advertising a special “Duck Dynasty” Christmas special on December 11 at 9p.m. ET.
Does tht mean that there is another year of DD with Phil in it?
These guys should find another network to put their show out there.
If the "contract" allows A&E to fire one of the family, it should also let the rest of the DD family take off with all of their property.
A&E probably has a "morality" clause in the contract that says homosexuals have to be treated like they aren't preverts.
LOL! Seems like a prefect South Park or Family Guy episode...
That’s exploding!
I would think Phil is in season 5. What are they going to do cut him out of each episode that has already been filmed. I hate A&E it is disgusting full of Viagra and Trojan commercials and now there is a show where they run around naked.

I don’t watch TV because I choose not to support the Communist propaganda/agenda. If I am not mistaking, if a person subscribes to a satellite or cable package, there is no way to pick and choose, and by default a subscriber is funding the sodomites at A&E, the Al Gore channel, etc.
Another example of the liberal government political correctness running over peoples beliefs and 1st amendment rights. This is there attempt to force those of us to fall in line with what the government tells you to believe in. Through political correctness they punish those who disagree by impacting your business livelihood and liberties. In this case, if you don’t believe in ‘gay rights’ or you will be punished. I wonder how long it will be before they make it a crime for the church to preach the gospel? Oppression and tyranny in the making brought to you by the government and liberal media.
Watching the counter spin so fast, it could double as a ceiling fan!
If this is true and not staged, then the entire family should refuse to do all future shows... find some way out of the contract or... perform in a manner that the network won’t like.
And, then they need to move to another, more welcoming, cable network.
Bye, bye A&E.
Here in the Philippines, Duck Dynasty is on the History Channel, via my G-sat satellite dish.
Just as I started typing this, there was a promo for a Duck Dynasty Christmas special.
Somewhere on the internet I read that the program is number 3 in cable ratings.
It sounds like we will not be subjected to what A&E is doing.
Now that is amazing - never seen anything like this in my 20+ years on the Web.
If it’s not reported anywhere else, the examiner is just making it up. Sick sleazy website
I didn’t know that. However, I know that I didn’t read it there originally, but I did do a search and this came up first so I used it.
Good song
since they are his own beliefs, then why is he being muzzled???
