A&E takes away Duck Dynasty suspension

December 30th, 2013


Let me first start off by saying I’ve never seen an episode of Duck Dynasty. I’ve maybe seen three minutes of it in passing at my family’s house but it was more like background noise. I have nothing against the show necessarily but when I watch TV, I’m watching something else, usually sports. There’s not a single current TV show that I keep up with.

Furthermore, I have not read the interview by Phil Robertson but I know people were up in arms about whatever he said.

The show is one of the most popular in a long time. You can’t go into Walmart without seeing t-shirts and DVDs on it. It’s so popular that A&E eventually caved and took away the suspension.

A&E needs the show way more than the show needs A&E. The Robertsons were already succesful millionairs before the show was aired.
Seeing as Tyler is mack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt, many local residents tend to be conservative Christians and probably agree with Robertson’s comments. Plus, they’ve had speaking engagements in the Rose Capital, wich makes me think more and more people are excited to know they’ll still be able to watch the show and not have to see without the star of the show.
