I just read that "Duck Dynasty" is a favorite show of many people. I am curious. Has anyone seen it? What night (s) and network is it on? Is it just all about duck hunting or what?

I'd never heard of it until the other night when I saw previews of it. I have no intention of ever watching it. It looked ridiculous but then, alot of shows do to me so . . .

It's awful. Most of the reality shows I see on A&E or TLC focus on hillbillies. Duck-callin', moonshinin', swamp-dwellin', alligator-huntin', hog-slaughterin' hillbillies. And Honey Boo Boo.
I don't get it.

I don't even know who Honey Boo Boo is. The Double Divas show is RIDICULOUS!! The ladies are funny, but a show about HUGE KNOCKERS?!? RIDICULOUS!!

I kinda like the reality show, "The Saturdays." Brit girl band members...they all seem like lovely, caring girls and good friends. Most of them have eye candy for boyfriends/hubbys too!

For starters, Duck Dynasty isn't about duck hunting at all. It's about a family that sells duck calls for hunters. One son took his grandad's duck call business and turned it from a small local shop & turned it into a multi million dollar, world wide corporation. ALL of the kids in the family have college degrees. The dad was the starting QB ahead of Terry Bradshaw in college. In fact, Bradshaw even says that if Phil Robertson hadn't quit football, he would have never been #1 and never been drafted. Phil was THAT good, but football season interferred with hunting season.
They all still live a reasonably low key life, in the same small town, with the entire family working in the business. It also happens that Phil Robertson is a lay preacher. So their show has no cussing, no boobs, no vulgarity, no alcohol, the small children are very seldom seen at all, and the show ends every episode around a huge dinner table w/ Phil saying a prayer. Every married couple on the show has been together since high school (15 yrs +)
yes, they are redneck cajuns. But so far not a single complaint listed here actually has anything to do with the show. I'm not particularly a fan, but the Southern stereotype bitching gets old. I have watched the show with hubby from time to time. And while I think they do silly useless stuff, they are still a FAR cry from the Honey Boo Boo's of reality tv.

I will say that maybe I "get" some of these shows because I am from the South & I do know folks that are often a lot like some of the "real" sides of what we see on tv. I think Honey Boo Boo plays up the idiot stereotypes too much. But shows like Swamp People (gater hunting) and Duck Dynasty I do "get" because I can relate to the people thru people I've known along the way.

That's interesting stuff about Duck Dynasty, I didn't realize all of that. I've watched a couple times, just because it was on at the time, but not my cup of tea.
