The wives hunting was funny. They reminded me of when I took my wife hunting and sitting still and being quite was impossible for her. Then when we were leaving I caught a buck breaking across a field and shot it. She about crapped her pants when the gun went off. She didn't enjoy watching me clean the deer either. LOL

Overall I give the show a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.
John and Kate plus 8 I gave a -10 on the same scale.
I really don't like reality TV.
Pretty much my sentiments. Reality TV, as a whole, is really just awful.

I watched maybe 6 episodes of DD and found it amusing, at best.

Some of the nonsense that's been spewed about the Robertsons on garbage like MSNBC has been far worse any anything Phil said, but you don't see people wanting to censure them. We just do like decent people do and don't watch.

See how easy it is? Too difficult for liberals to figure out, I guess.

A&E finally woke up and realized that gays are 3-4% of the population compared to at least 50% of population who agrees with Phil and supports the show. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. Political correctness don't pay the bills.

This show attracts a coveted market, men, ages 18-47, and an older demographic of double income no kids, over age 50 crowd. Makes advertisers drool.

And also the evangelical crowd as well. Duck Dynasty is a rain maker.

I guess A&E decided the "Show Tunes" crowd was not worth bending over backwards for...smart move.

I agree. I've only seen bits and pieces of some of them. I think the Kardishians offend me more than Robertson and I've never seen either show lol

I've never seen the Kardashian show, either, and that bunch is extremely, excrutiatingly offensive.

Yes, a smart move financially to bend over for the crowd who actually watch the show.

Hm. I'd have to say that both are more than a little offensive. Labeling Duck Dynasty viewers "evangelical" or those protesting (I'm assuming GLAAD since they were the original protestors until Jesse Jackson seized the opportunity to look like he's still relevant) a "Show Tune" crowd.

Both are negative stereotypes.
