Week 6 BOC: Duck Dynasty

On Wednesday night the season 4 premiere of Duck dynasty was a raging success. The show came in with 11.8 million views and casted a all time record for the A&E. They pretty much are only going up!

"The season four premiere of “Duck Dynasty” grew by 37% in total viewers, 29% in adults 25-54 and 26% in adults 18-49 versus the record-setting season three premiere" I think that this show is so popular because there is nothing else like it. What else show has high class family oriented redneck hillbillies. People love the fact that they are crazy and wild but then have fancy cars, and hot wives. The families aren't perfect but they don't try to be unlike other reality shows. "“Duck Dynasty” was also the most social show on television Wednesday night. According to Bluefin Labs, the series had more total activity across all major social media platforms than any other telecast on cable or broadcast for the night by a huge margin."

 
Here is a chart of the fans that have tuned in since day one, it has only gone up! This show has a lot to offer cable TV and the advertising world. There will be a lot of spinoffs, merchandise, commercials, magazine ads all about the infamous "Duck Dynasty". Personally I find the show to be hilarious because when I'm watching it, I don't feel as if I'm watching trash TV such as Honey boo boo. That show is a disgrace to American television. I think Duck Dynasty is just getting started and there is a lot more to come from the Robinson family. I was reading an article and thought this question was interesting,

"Duck Dynasty – Have the Bearded Boys Helped Increase the Numbers of Duck Hunters?

Well, that’s the million dollar question and unfortunately it’s too soon to tell. Certainly there are those who work in State Regulated Fish and Game Agencies that might hear of stories about hunters who retrieved those dusty duck hunting caps to revisit those frigid duck blinds of their youth only after watching A & E’s wildly popular reality series, “Duck Dynasty”. Or there are those who’ve been seen trading hikes into the mountains with their scopes and rifles for waders, shotguns and duck calls."
