A&E ran a bunch of "A Duck Dynasty" shows on Sunday. I finally sat down and watched a couple of them.
First, it is hilarious. You got these "ZZ Top bearded guys" with beautiful wives, a successful business and a wonderful sense of humor. Uncle Si is the greatest "TV uncle" since Uncle Charlie in "My 3 sons"! That fellow SI is a superstar!
Second, Grandpa Phil, the man in the middle of the controversy, looks like the kind of guy that you want to go hunting with. His wife, Miss Kay, is exactly the kind of woman you want cooking your next holiday meal. She loves dogs and spoils her grandchildren.
Third, the brothers, or the guys who run the business, are funny and treat their employees very well. Wonder how many people watching this show wished that they had a boss like "brother CEO"?
Fourth, I saw the Christmas play episode. We enjoyed the family putting a Nativity play at church and treating their friends to food and gifts.
There are a lot of people like the Robertsons in the south, probably everywhere else too. They are good family people who contribute a lot to the nation, from creating jobs to keeping our traditions intact.

Not to pick nits with the author of this piece, but it’s the South, not the south.;-)
Puhleeeze.
Those guys are nuts...and naturals at comedy.
Amen brother.
And Phil is a genius.
And fresh REAL honey with biscuits???? Yeah I am with Jace.
Sort of like watching the Three Stooges and I Love Lucy combined with a twist of wholesome family values and a touch of religion. You know they’re really not that dumb and just putting on a show but you just get sucked in anyway and yeah they are naturals.
Hey! He’s right, ya know. Southerners know ... doncha know ... :-) ...

I want the 15 minutes back I spent watching the first 15 minutes. I listened to the rest while I did some work on the computer. It didn’t get better.
I have nothing against the show or the people on it, but watching a bunch of people just living their lives and doing stuff is a piss-poor way to try to entertain or educate myself. Maybe it’s because I live on my own 32 acres and can enjoy the same sorts of stuff they do without ever leaving my property, from turkeys to deer to squirrels. Maybe “city slickers” can let their inner outdorrsman live vicariously through their show. I dunno.
Right on brother, it’s the South! I love the South but I am not from there, I am from Texas! :D
They stand for faith, family, free enterprise and guns. Everything that liberals hate.
I recently discovered it, too, (before the controversy.) I really like it. My favorite is Uncle Si. My favorite episode so far is the one where Uncle Si bought a poodle to fetch his ducks after he shot them!
Lighten up man. It’s good clean fun. We don’t get much of that on TV these days.

I DO own a DVD called The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. But that is also a documentary. I can get into that.
I consider reality TV to be the professional wrestling of the 21st century. Everybody knows its not real, but nobody sez it.
Jace’s and Si’s talking head parts crack me up. I mean snort through my nose funny.

So, bread and circuses are what you ^require^. Sad.
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.
I remember those lol! His are ones that you have to catch. He is so witty but the wit can zoom by you sometimes.
