"Duck Dynasty's" Ratings Are Down Dramatically from Last Season
1/16/14


Fans no longer give a quack about "Duck Dynasty".

TV Line reports that 8.5 million people tuned in for the fifth season premiere of "Duck Dynasty" on Wednesday (Jan. 15), down from 12 million viewers who watched the fourth season premiere.

In the highly sought after age demographic of 18-49, only 4.2 million tuned in.



Phil Robertson created a huge uproar back in December with his comments about homosexuality in a GQ interview. Turns out that all of the following controversy did not help the ratings.

Huffington Post has always been criticized by the right for lying, so I don't know if this is true or not.

I think the fact that A&E "outed" the family says volumes. During the suspension, other networks expressed interest in the "hillbillies". A&E released these photos (which had already been released w/o fanfare) to show how phony the Robertsons are.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: ALL of Reality TV, except for a few like Cops, is 100% fake.

I feel sorry for anyone who took this family 100% seriously.
