Duck Dynasty

I think the thing that really made me want to give the show a try was when I saw that Phil (the father) was told by A&E to "stop praying and bringing up God on TV" and he said NO. He basically told them that he doesn't care if they take the show off of TV or not but his expression of his faith is not negotiable. I really appreciate that they stand up for their values instead of their "fame". they were successful before the show and they would be successful without it.
I don't think some of these reality shows are any more drivel than some of the fictional shows on TV lol (some of which I love also hahaha) with that said there are A LOT of truly TERRIBLE reality shows (teen moms, toddlers and tiaras... HONEY BOO BOO. YUCK).

LOL I read an article (can't find it now lol) where jase was talkig about how certain situations are presented to them but that they don't go along with it unless they want to. He then went on to say that there was an episode where they were in a golf tournament and A&E wanted them to wear "knickers" and he was like "um NO... I do not wear knickers" "but A&E wants you to" an his response was "SO?" LOL "I don't wear knickers!" Lol
Their one liners and (as the article said) deadpan improve is HILARIOUS!
I am not as sensitive to it but other than a short prayer at the end I don't find that there is that much "religion" in the show. I din't feel that it's "in your face"... Not like they go around trying to convert people or anything, it's just part of who they are
As Jase says "it's God, Family, and ducks... In that order" lol

I love it.
I love that they are all about family. I love their priorities in life.
My mom side of the family (mom's mom & dad...aka my maternal grandparents) were from West Monroe. Vacations in my family consisted of going and staying with my great aunt and uncle in their tiny little house. No air conditioning. An outhouse (I kid you not!). 140 acres of pasture full of cows, a very cranky Brahma Bull named Black Bart, a couple horses, and piles of manure. There was also a fun old barn to play in, chickens to gather eggs from, and a rooster who's goal in life was to shred the skin off your shins. We slept on the floor, usually in the screened-in back porch. We woke up early to homemade biscuits, fresh eggs, and bacon/sausage from whatever pig's time had finally run out. Then us kids were sent outside to play. Lunch was sandwiches, and if you didn't grab one and run back out, you found yourself shelling peas or snapping beans......or plucking feathers from your soon-to-be fried chicken supper.
As it is, they lived just a few miles from Mr. Phil and Mrs. Kay. So maybe that's an added reason why I love the show.
With all the cruelty and hatred and intolerance in the world, I just seem unable to find fault with a show that showcases a family that loves one another, has worked hard to build a booming business out of hard work and sacrifice, is kind to others, engages in lots of charitable work and activities...I could go on. For me, I think we have plenty of shows about murdering people, sexually abusing/assaulting children, and being hateful to others. I enjoy the laid back ease of watching Duck Dynasty and Swamp People.

We also love it. There's not many shows (especially reality ones) that we can watch as a family. But this one fits. I too love the they have their priorities straight and will not give when it comes to their values. Si, Phil and Jase are our favorites. My hubby now quotes Phil with the trademark "naw ".
Skittledoo: my man actually doesn't shave or cut his hair all the winter months because "it keeps him warm".
I also love the fact that Phil, Jase, and Willie all have highschool sweetheart wives. We got married young also and it irritates me when people use being married young as an excuse for why they divorced. It can be done and last forever.

I agree on all counts!
I love Duck Dynasty! And their older show, Duck Commander (a little more serious). I've been watching since the series premiere and have said since then that I can't ever remember laughing SO hard watching TV. I love Jase... and Phil and Si of course!
My mom saw the commercials and always thought it looked so stupid, despite me telling her for ages that she would love it. She saw the tail end of an episode one time and totally got why I loved it so much. LOVED Phil. She quoted him for like a week, when he's in the boat with his grandkids and says that they should go to Walmart and pick up a personality.

This is a good summary of why this show is so successful.

I think it's a nice show to watch when I want to watch funny and mindless T.V. I wouldn't say it's the best show ever. I'm not really a fan of rednecks or anything they generally stand for. Just not my thing. Although I wouldn't change the channel if it was on. 
opcorn:
I'm surprised it is so popular, but I'm surprised Miley Cyrus is popular, so strange things happen.

I'm just glad to see a show where the husband isn't just treated like a mindless boob who can't function without a nagging wife. Like Everybody Loves Raymond... don't get me wrong, I do watch the show sometimes and laugh but UGH I am always annoyed by the portrayal that men are idiots and wives are nagging ninnies and they just argue all day.
Phil and Kay have apparently had their hard times where Phil was a fool who wasn't very nice but eventually they worked themselves out and now I just love the way they love each other. You can just see it in the way they look at each other. Love it
