One-time Hit "Duck Dynasty" is Canceled at A&E

"Duck Dynasty" is approaching its last (duck) call.

The Robertson family, the stars of the A&E docu-series, said the show will end in April during a short video announcement after Wednesday's season premiere.

In a statement accompanying the video, the cable network said: "After five years, 130 episodes and one of the biggest hits in the history of cable, the Robertson family and A&E jointly decided that Duck Dynasty, the series, will come to an end after this season."

The statement says "Duck Dynasty" (Wednesday, 9 ET/PT) will end after the current season. New episodes will run through Jan. 18, resuming March 1 with seven more episodes, including the finale on April 12. Although that will be the end of the series, A&E says a series of holiday specials will follow.

After its premiere in 2012, "Duck Dynasty", which follows a Louisiana family that hit it big in the duck-call business, became a TV and cultural phenomenon. By 2013, episodes were drawing more than 10 million viewers.

However, ratings for recent episodes are just a fraction of the earlier numbers, with original episodes from August averaging under 1.5 million viewers.

"A&E's 'Duck Dynasty' To End after 5 Seasons"

Actually, Duck Dynasty aired 11 seasons over five years (2012-2017); it would run two seasons per year.

I don't know why this is listed as a reality show. It is not. It's a situation comedy that is scripted.

Svenfan, I have no time for jabs like these. It's clear that you are making that post only to bully me. Stop with your jabs, please.

Svenfan said that Duck Dynasty was a scripted situation comedy and not a reality show, when in actual fact, it is a reality TV show. I think he was just joking, but when I pointed out the "5 seasons/years" fact on this thread's title, I just took Svenfan's post as a "jab" which it really is, and a bad one at that.

Svenfan1234 · 12-28-2016, 07:49 PM

It is a situation comedy.

I am serious. You seriously need to stop harassing people. I was just pointing out that I wondered why this isn't in "Current Sitcoms" or whatever.

Duck Dynasty is officially a reality show.

Whether anything portrayed on it is or isn't scripted is debatable, as w/ any reality show.

JamesG I think you are right. Duck Dynasty is a reality show. And this is right. James28 should never call someone "Jab". That's an insult.

Svenfan, if you think it's situational comedy, I don't see any section in sitcomsonline that said that..
