Related: About this forumI was curious what shows MAGA love and found out they love the show Duck Dynasty

Ducks dont like Duck Dynastyor they wouldnt if they watched TV. If ducks formed a political action committee, their lobbyist would waddle over to the nearest congressman, pound his wings on the desk and quack about how wrong it is for A&E to feature a family whose wealth was built on the death and suffering of so many flighted friends. Its disthpicable! hed say.
But judging from the shows ratings, he wouldnt get very far.
Duck Dynastyfocusing on a colorful Louisiana family that eats together, hunts together and makes duck calls togetherhas been a runaway reality hit in its first two seasons, breaking all sorts of time slot records and even, some weeks, becoming the most watched show anywhere on TV, cable or network.
Who wouldve thought that a bunch of ZZ Top-bearded, self-described rednecks could helm a hit TV series?

"And they didn't go in hoping their story would be picked up by Michael Savage, I take it."

(3,967 posts)As rincewind pointed out in their post above, the DD family are frauds. If I remember, when that came out, their show nosedived, but since I don't watch idiotic reality shows, I don't know if it got cancelled or not. And quite frankly, I don't really care.

(5,493 posts)Phil Robertson, the patriarch made comments that were homophobic and racist to GQ Magazine and the brass at A&E Network went ballistic.
Comedian Bill Burr said it best. Whats wrong with the president of A&E? A 72 year old duck hunter, with a beard down to his crotch, that lives in a cabin on the Bayou in Louisiana, and shoots beavers for breakfast, doesnt have progressive views on gay marriage? im shocked. Burr added-Im not saying hes right. Im saying that if Vegas was taking odds, Id bet my house, my car and everything I own that hed say it!!!
