Duck Dynasty

[MrMoJoRisin63]

You have no clue of which you speak. Duck Dynasty basically sets a new record for every show. The season 3 finale beat American Idol. You realize that that A&E is cable and Fox is in every home, right?

I have every idea what I am talking about. But thanks anyway

'Duck Dynasty' finale ratings drop; new 'Atlantis' to follow 'Doctor Who' special: TV Talk | OregonLive.com

Incredibly, reliable source. Whereas I've heard and read, that their weekly show was seen more than the "Breaking Bad" finale.

I'll check oregonlive.com for proof.

 

[RobBase]

Me too. Get that shit off the air.

That show sucks anyway. I hope it gets cancelled.

Ratings are already dropping it's just gotten old at this point.

A&E doesn't need them. They're one show. Without A&E he didn't get that interview in the first place.

And if you think the demographic for that show matches the demographic of the network you're crazy.

Duck Dynasty's Success: Why An A&E IPO Makes Sense (DIS,EAGLU,CMCSA,DISCA,AMCX,SNI,)

A&E Television Network (AETN) premiered its fourth season of Duck Dynasty August 14. The one-hour episode garnered 11.8 million viewers, the highest number ever to watch a non-fiction cable show.

A+E Networks, the holding company, is owned jointly by Disney (NYSE:DIS) and Hearst Corporation. The show's runaway success increases the value of A+E Networks immeasurably.

Disney and Hearst acquired Comcast's (Nasdaq:CMCSA) 15.8% stake in A+E Networks in July 2012 for $3.03 billion. The deal valued it at $19 billion. Slightly more than a year later Duck Dynasty has blown the doors off cable television.

'Duck Dynasty' finale ratings beat 'American Idol' | Inside TV | EW.com

A&E’s docu-soap phenomenon shattered previous ratings records for its Wednesday night finale. The episode following the Robertson clan to Hawaii delivered 9.6 million viewers and a 4.3 adults 18-49 rating.

That rating makes Duck Dynasty the highest-rated show last night — and not just on cable. The number is bigger than CBS’ Survivor (2.9) and bigger than Fox’s American Idol (3.3). As you can see, the fight wasn’t even close.

Duck Dynasty, along with AMC’s The Walking Dead, represent small-yet-growing number of cable shows that can overthrow the heavy hitters on broadcast. Season three of Duck Dynasty averaged 8.4 million total viewers (up 95% versus season 2) and 4.8 million adults 18-49 (up 92%), making it cable’s top-rated reality series this year, and the No. 2 original series overall behind only The Walking Dead.

I totally get that you guys are emotion driven religion phobes. Cool. But don't be dumb fucks out of fear. Say you want to see Phil suffer because he offended your fragile feelings. Man up and be honest. Otherwise keep your emotional bitch tit BS off the boards. Clogs it up.

and exactly what would change if the show were taken off the air?

30 minutes less of garbage polluting the airwaves and peoples brains, sure it would be replaced by more garbage, but it couldn't possibly be worse than duck dynasty

Seriously, dude, you won't be hurt either way. I don't watch that "Honey Boo Boo" show or whatever it's called. Use your remote properly and no worries.

They're better equipped to lose one show than take the fallout to the rest of their shows. They were taking fallout the second he said what he said. They're an entertainment channel. They don't want their shit to be about politics. It's pretty simple.

 

[NickVT10]

I think they did the right thing. That's just the way things are in this world we live in. He should have known better.

Because of sensitive wimps who if your opinion is different than theirs then you are a monster.

As far as him knowing better, its that he just doesn't care. They asked what he thought and he told them. If people get offended it doesn't phase him a bit. He is comfortable with who he is and his beliefs so things don't bother him like that. If other people were comfortable then his remarks wouldn't bother them either.

If it's so simple, prove it with math. Elaborate on this fall out. Give me all the scenarios you are predicting. I assume you mean they'll lose viewers? Sponsors? Which ones? Have you compared DD to their other shows? I have. And if they're better equipped to lose DD, why haven't they cancelled it?

Looking forward to your research.

He doesn't research. That's the thing. He just rides fences until the fence ends and then jumps on another one.

So I post content and you post speculation. I see how it works now. I heard / read that The Jetson 42 episode was the number one cartoon ever.

I guess seeing how popular these shows are just makes me sad, a little that americans are so pathetic that 1) these people exist, 2) these people manage to get a tv show, 3) people actually watch the garbage...its downright depressing

 

[redseat]

ACTUALLY.... they don't need A&E... The reason they got the show was because they had money and A&E wanted to get there share of the pie. Do you really think if the Robertsons (or whatver there names are) weren't making money A&E would even have considered giving them a show?

 

[757Hokie83]

I think its funny that the governor of LA, Palin, and other supposedly knowledgeable people are outraged and trying to defend and support the guys right to free speech....do they not understand what the right to free speech actually means?

 

[RoboticDreams]

So I post content and you post speculation. I see how it works now. I heard / read that The Jetson 42 episode was the number one cartoon ever.

I'm assuming, I guess. If you could find, credible, such an unbelievably obscure website as scripture, you might cross reference it and find the other end of the spectrum.

Sorry I was so mean.

 

[jdwills126]

If you don't like the show turn it off!

Hypocritical idiots getting their Jimmies all rustled up. Phil Robertson has the right to state his beliefs! And if A&E wants to censor him so be it but they cut their own throat to do so! It's a business and everyone saying A&E did the right thing must have said the same thing when Alec Baldwin blasted gays, Bashir stated someone needs to defecate in Palin's mouth, and Bill Maher just running his mouth!

If people don't like what he said stop watching, fuck political correctness! I don't agree with Al Sharpton and what he says is asinine. I don't start a letter writing campaign I stop watching MSNBC.

 

[$500 Million]

I would love to see the Duck Dynasty family tell A&E to shove the show up their collective asses.

That may very well happen, but I can't see the folks at A&E caring much, if we've learned anything over the past 15 years of reality television it's that there are thousands of people and families that will line up to whore themselves to any network for the right price. Reality TV "stars" are the most replaceable commodity in entertainment.

 

[redseat]

Didn't know A&E was partially owned by ABC

Now the Robertsons are saying they possibly will walk away from the show, we shall see.

 

[_Xer0_]

i have never watched 1 second of Duck Dynasty and NEVER will.

reality TV is absolute bullfuck.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

what is this bullfuck you speak of ....... :confused2:
