I'd never watched the show until I saw a couple of the Duck Dynasty guys on The Tonight Show with Leno. They were pretty funny so the next night me and the wife watched a show... and then another... and another. We quite literally laughed to tears, even my wife was laughing till she teared up.

If you haven't watched any of it before, its not so much about duck hunting as you would think. Oh they do hunt all kinds of things, and fish every chance they get, and eat everything they kill... but the episodes are usually about all kinds of other funny things. Most things solved in true RedNeck fashion. "Oh we need to get rid of this old camp trailer, well shoot boys, we need a new duck blind, lets go drag that down to the swamp and stick'er in a tree!" LMAO

The people are charismatic, I love Phil the older father of the kids running the company. There is a well grounded individual. His outlook on life is really neat, that kids today don't even know where their burger meat or milk come from. He's always trying to teach grand kids the "outdoor way", heck even schooling his own kids (in their 40's) about simple things like their failed attempt to harvest some wild honey.

Very little cursing, I think I heard 1 beep out of a dozen shows which is major annoyance of my wife and other shows we watch. The guys are all religious in a southern baptist sort of way, they take it seriously but its definitely amusing to see them all in church in full camo (seriously!). Also, and I love this about the show, they always end an episode around a dinner table putting aside any personal issues and give some life moral that really makes alot of sense.

Anyway if you haven't watched a few episodes, you might want to catch it. Its hands down my favorite show on TV now.

Yup that is one funny show, the best one I seen was when their mom went shopping for a couch and the doughnut eating contest between Willie and his Uncle. Here is a link to the show about the couch and doughnut contest.

Its a good break from some of the others that are on

BUGGER...I can't watch it out here in Oz...like Radar, I will have to wait until it finds its way Down Under.

I checked out a few of their videos on YouTube...they are crazy down to earth genuine sorta guys...I like them.

DVR it every week just incase I miss a new episode.

If you have watched the Duck Commander Video's and their Outdoor Channel show sponsored by Bennelli you will see what accomplished duck hunters they are but you can see their "character" comning through even in the hunting shows.

Duck Dynasty is an intentional charicature of their Redneck sides ( Except for Si - he is the real thing) but they pull it off very well. Jase's dry humor cracks me up. All of these episodes bring out belly laughs but if you are looking for past episodes on line check out the frog hunt on the golf course and Sadie's first date.. priceless.

My favorite line from Sadies date show - Wille gives the boy a duck call as they head out the door on the date and says, If he is going to have his lips on something I made I would rather it was a duck call than my daughter.

Also watch for where she turns it around on Grandpa Phil and asks how long he and Grandma waited to kiss...

looks like I'm going to have to start watching this.
