Duck Dynasty

Wow. You mean they weren't born with beards and they actually own clothing that isn't camo? I'm shocked.

Haters gonna hate.

Shoot, I never attempted a beard until this last fall...I must be fake too.

^^ exactly!

I don't really care if it's fake or not, it's just entertainment and I enjoy the show. shrug

 

[HoughMade]

Wait, wait, wait...

...the next thing your gonna claim is that all is not as it seems on:

...the real housewives of wherever
...the bachelor
...shipping wars
...bridezillas
...cake boss
...keeping up with the Kardashians
...mob wives
...pawn stars
.........

Thanks for sharing this. I am always amazed at the level of indignation some of these bloggers exhibit over a TV show like DD. there are bigger issues in the world!

Not to mention DD is very entertaining

Seems like some people just can't stand the idea that someone else's amusements don't live up to their standards, especially if that someone else disagrees with them politically. Like, um, they have to search for things to complain about the other guys when their own guys beclown themselves so embarrassingly.

OK, I can live with questions in the back of my mind about some of these programs, well, stretching the truth just a little bit, but please, please don't tell me that Hogan's Heroes doesn't accurately portray the operation of a German Prisoner of War camp!

Hell they show these pictures on the show, I'm not sure what the big deal is? People out here that farm and work outdoors in the winter usually grow a beard in the winter and shave it off in the spring, it keeps you warm... Sounds like another blogger that thinks wealth distribution should be mandatory? Like others have said, they put on an entertaining show the whole family can enjoy, and honestly, I can relate a lot more to them than about any other show out there!

Dumb article.

i thought it was all like "half scripted" or "pseudo-scripted".....they set the guys up in funny situations and then the billies go at it...right?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yeah, they've really uncovered the scandal of the millennium. Those pictures are, what, 10-15 years apart? I mean nobody, absolutely nobody, has ever changed their dress, their "look", their outlook on life over the course of time--how can these guys possibly keep the facade going.

Yes... believe it or not, I don't look like this anymore either...

 

[JeremiahJohnson]

Of course it's scripted. Willie has answered dozens of times for the press that the situations are scripted and the family discusses ideas for what situations are typical for their personalities and in keeping with their lifestyle. It's entertainment.

Watch the old Duck Commander episodes (warning it's a real duck hunting show about killing and eating ducks). Watch Buck Commander (warning - again - it's a real whitetail deer hunting show about killing and eating whitetailed deer). Those shows - as are ALL hunting shows - are "scripted" as well. However, the dead ducks and dead deer are real. The meals are real. The people are real and they are enjoying making a television show around their lifestyle - hunting.

DD is no different. A family enjoying making a television show around their lifestyle - running a business and going to church.

It's a free society folks, if you don't like the show - don't watch. If you don't want the products they produce - don't buy. Simple.

I did detect a little class envy in that article.

Exactly, but so cares, I find it funny. Would it be entertaining to watch them BS and put calls together all day, not really..

That's good thing, right?
