I did it. I finally watched Duck Dynasty. Jumped on the bandwagon! Over the long weekend, my fiancé and I took a road trip up to Meridian, Idaho to visit some extended family. And over Thanksgiving break, he and his family watched this constantly. The show seemed weird and didn't appeal to me at all. But when he asked me to give it a chance, I agreed. Just because I love him. And you know what? I laughed pretty dang hard! Those men and their relationships with each other are hilarious. And the best part is that I have never seen my fiancé laugh as hard as he did when we watched this show. It was so entertaining.
I'm not going to be a true follower of this program. Aside from how everything seemed to be staged and planned, the show was great. It made me laugh, and I just can't help staring at their beards. Their morals and values represent pure patriotism and what it means to be American. I liked the fact that every episode ended with a family prayer and dinner. I believe the Robertsons' values are just what some people need to be reminded of. Family is everything. And these folks understand that.
I'm a fan.
I was the same way, Whitney! Hesitant at first, but it really is hilarious. And I always love the endings too :) No matter how cheesy or staged they may be. And I love, love, LOVE that there is no hesitation in mentioning God - and it's pretty frequent! I wish more media was like this, but Duck Dynasty topping the charts is a pretty good start.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I fell in love with this show over the summer, and although I don't watch it week after week, whenever I do I laugh the entire time! They are so hilarious and the relationship between their family is so strong. They all love each other so much and they put God first. I also love that when their show was under fire for things they said, they never backed down against their beliefs. They are Christians and they are proud of it!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this show and kept track of all the hoop-la when the patriarch of this clan said stuff that a lot of people weren't happy about. I really admire them for their values, and am impressed they stick with them despite Hollywood and money and such. It's impressive. Maybe I'll give it a go!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny. Soooo many people I know LOVE this show. I have seen it a few times, and there are some pretty funny parts, but I don't know if I would go so far as to say I'm hooked. ;) I do really appreciate how family-centered the show is. I think a lot of shows could and should be a lot more like that.
