Faith, family and ducks: Behind the scenes of 'Duck Dynasty'

FOR THESE REALITY TV STARS, ‘holding Hollywood's hand’ presents a challenge as they endeavor to share Jesus.


WEST MONROE, La. — Hollywood, meet the real Robertsons.

A&E’s hit reality series “Duck Dynasty” has made celebrities out of Duck Commander Phil Robertson, his wife Kay and their bearded, camo-clad sons Willie, Jase and Jeptha, not to mention “Uncle Si,” Phil’s younger brother.

As the network portrays it, the series — whose Season 1 finale drew 2.6 million viewers — follows a Louisiana bayou family living the American dream as they operate a thriving duck call and decoy business while staying true to their family values.

For the Robertsons, those values relate to the grace and salvation found in Jesus.

But for the show’s producers, the family’s strong Christian faith seems to be an uncomfortable storyline — one frequently chopped in the editing room.

“They pretty much cut out most of the spiritual things,” Phil Robertson, a one-time honky-tonk operator who gave up his heathen lifestyle in the 1970s, told The Christian Chronicle. “We say them, but they just don’t run them on the show.

“Hollywood has run upon the kingdom of God, and there’s a rub there,” said the Duck Commander, a tenacious personal evangelist who has brought hundreds of souls to new life in the Ouachita River. “Well, we have to be as harmless as a dove and as shrewd as a snake in the way we deal with them.”

The entire Robertson family is active with the White’s Ferry Road Church of Christ, which meets just a few miles from the Duck Commander/Buck Commander warehouse in this northeast Louisiana town of 13,000.

“They have been consistently evangelistic,” White’s Ferry Road minister and elder Mike Kellett said of the Robertsons. “Jase and Willie were both in my youth group years ago and were reaching out to the lost as teens.”

Other White’s Ferry Road members include duck call makers John Godwin and Justin Martin and secretary Linda Hammit, a former missionary to Tanzania with her husband, Ryan.

Godwin has lost 35 pounds since ripping off his shirt in a scene in which a skunk sprayed him. In an impromptu interview at the warehouse, he said he grew up “kind of knowing about God.”  

But when his wife, Paula, pushed him to go to church, he resisted.

“I don’t want to be around these holy rollers,” he recalls telling her.

Then the longtime paper mill employee met the Duck Commander. Godwin decided he’d go to church and maybe stock up on “duck calls” — hunting tools used to emulate the sound of ducks.

“Boy, I got way more than that,” he said of his conversion to Christ.

NO BEARD FOR ‘REPLACEMENT WILLIE’

Phil Robertson and his oldest son Al — the clean-shaven member of the clan who describes himself as a “Jacob in a family of Esaus” — both serve as White’s Ferry Road church elders.

After 20 years in the pulpit, Al Robertson recently stepped down as one of the 1,200-member congregation’s ministers.

He left to help run the family business, which has exploded with growth since “Duck Dynasty” premiered last spring. This year the company expects to sell more than 150,000 duck calls.

“I’m the replacement Willie,” said Al Robertson, who doesn’t have an official title.

While still preaching some, he’s filling in the gaps for his CEO brother as Willie Robertson meets the demands of running the company and taping the show. Each episode takes about a week to film.

Willie’s wife, Korie Robertson, is the daughter of John Howard, also a White’s Ferry Road elder and Duck Commander employee. Korie’s grandfather, the late Alton Howard, wrote gospel songs and sold more than 3 million church hymnals used in Churches of Christ.

“It’s a total mission and ministry,” Kay Robertson said of “Duck Dynasty,” which launches its second season Oct. 10.

Despite the spiritual material cut out of the show, the duck diva said, “We’re so blessed for what we can get in there. That’s really unknown in today’s TV on a regular, big TV network like that.”

‘GOD-FEARING, FAMILY-ORIENTED PEOPLE’

“Money. Family. Ducks,” proclaims the tagline on A&E posters promoting the show.

Except that the “Money” part has been scratched out on the posters seen at the newly opened Duck Commander store, where hundreds of fans who show up at the warehouse can buy “Phil for President” T-shirts and catch a glimpse of the world’s largest duck call.

“They give us these to pass out,” Al Robertson said of the posters. “We ‘X’ out ‘money’ and write in ‘faith.’ What’s interesting is, most people get it, and they think A&E did that.”

People enjoy reality television for many reasons, including the shock factor, said Jim Miller, director of the mass communication program at Harding University in Searcy, Ark.

Television producers know that reality often needs to be altered to make interesting viewing or overemphasize certain stereotypes, the professor said.

“That explains some of the tension the Robertsons apparently feel with the producers of ‘Duck Dynasty,’” Miller said. “I think people are especially interested in ‘Duck Dynasty’ because the Robertsons’ family and friends are outrageous, unpredictable characters. Yet they also are relatable and likable. They are God-fearing, family-oriented people who enjoy life.”

By taking advantage of an opportunity to be “salt and light” in the entertainment media, the Robertsons gain a voice and a presence in a culture-shaping industry, Miller said.

“The challenges they face deal with compromise,” he said. “For example, does the opportunity to influence a segment of culture in very broad ways as TV personalities outweigh the disappointment they may feel with the producers cutting out ‘in Jesus’ name’ at the end of every televised prayer?”

Equally shocking to the Robertsons: In the first two episodes, the producers bleeped out words said by Willie and Korie to make it appear that they cursed. The family complained. As Al Robertson explained, “We don’t cuss.”

Jase Robertson, slipping his beanie off his head before praying, alluded to the tension as he shared communion thoughts on a recent Sunday.

“It’s a slippery slope when you’re holding Hollywood’s hand and you’re trying to accomplish something,” he told fellow church members, “when deep down all you want to do is proclaim that Jesus is Lord.”

‘HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY’

In the first season of “Duck Dynasty,” the Robertsons waged war on beavers disrupting the water supply and hunted bullfrogs on a golf course.

The Robertson women sold some of the men’s prized possessions in a yard sale, while their bearded spouses hatched a plan to build a luxury duck blind in the sky and tried to suck bees out of a honey-filled hive with a portable vacuum cleaner.

Amid the humorous misadventures, a few glimpses of the family’s faith survived.

In one episode, Kay told Phil that it was his Christian duty to babysit his granddaughters. In another, Phil urged one of his grandsons to find a woman who knows how to cook, lives by her Bible and loves to eat bullfrogs.

In still another episode, Si said that he always travels with three things: a gallon jug of iced tea, his plastic cup and his Bible.

One scene found Phil relaxing in his easy chair, his Bible open on his lap, as he prepared to preach. “Duck Commander Sunday is basically a redneck rendition of fearing God, loving your neighbor,” Phil said on that episode. “We all sing church songs, everybody wearing camo, and everybody happy happy happy.”

WHO’S THE UGLY DUCKLING?

Al Robertson dares to be different.

He shaves.

He likens himself to Marilyn on the 1960s sitcom “The Munsters.”

“She was beautiful,” Al explained. “She thought she was ugly because she was around ugly people.”

He joked that he feels the same way about his brothers, who used to shave after every duck hunting season until the beards and camouflage became a permanent marketing tool.

“Really, it’s not that hard of an image to project,” Al said with a laugh. “You just have to let yourself go: Quit shaving. Quit bathing. Quit worrying about it.”

“Duck Dynasty” is based loosely on events in the Robertsons’ lives, but the producers change scenarios to fit storylines.

“In terms of people, Si is the most like he really is,” Al said of his uncle, whom he likens to Barney Fife on “The Andy Griffith Show” or Kramer on “Seinfeld.”

Kay Robertson agreed: “I’m telling you, Uncle Si has always been crazy. But we never thought he’d do that on camera.”

Si Robertson, a Vietnam veteran presented as single on the show, is married. He and his wife, Christine, are active members of the church.

Since Willie serves as the CEO, the show touts him as the responsible member of the family. That’s not quite the full truth, Al said.

“Willie is just as irresponsible as anybody, just to let you know,” his brother said with a chuckle. “And then Jase, they kind of have him as the wild man and all that, but he’s much more conservative in personality than he projects on the show.”

As for himself, Al said he wouldn’t mind appearing on the show in the future — preferably without a beard: “My idea was, jokingly, that they have me come in and demand to know why I’ve been left out of the family.”

TALKING DUCKS, SHARING JESUS

Even before “Duck Dynasty,” Phil Robertson developed a wide following for his powerful, revivalist-style gospel preaching. He talks about ducks. He shares Jesus.

As the show has gained popularity, though, crowds once in the hundreds have swelled into the thousands, Kay Robertson said.

Phil Robertson said he and his sons Al and Jase preach the same message of faith, repentance and baptism wherever they’re invited.

“We don’t have godly people and followers of Jesus owning the channel that we’re on or filming what we do,” Phil said. “So what you see (on TV) is a functional, godly family, but there’s not a whole lot of Gospel and Bible verses.

“However, the audience … can be reached in other ways than the TV show,” he added. “We’re going to be making a Robertson family tour. You’ll see the real family when you get us in some arena somewhere and it’s just us telling people the good news of Jesus.

“People just have to realize that there’s more than one way to skin a cat.”

This is my favorite T.V. show. I just saw on CNN that Phil had been criticized for owning guns and praying. My suggestion is that this person join the minority and watch some other program. I am 66 years old and was raised hunting and praying and still do both. I think the show is great and watch all the repeats. Don't cut the bleeps and let it be as the characters really are. I just retired March 1, but each episode would be discussed in my department the day after the program aired. I worked for Bridgestone and one of the engineers that I communicated with in Akron named his son after Jase. So it is not just viewed by us rednecks in North Carolina. Keep it on the air!!

Thank God for this family, thank goodness for A & E for sharing it. Not only is this one of the truly funny shows on TV but I like how close the family is. I usually despise any reality TV but I find this show funny and very relaxing. It's a good fit with the spiritual, mental, and physical attributes each one of us has and the humor that we need.

It has been great and I am sure drawing people into His kingdom. "Duct Dynasty", Relationships are sticky, Jack! The Lord is always at work, even in our mundane life. May the Lord continue to prosper your families and strengthen you in all you do. Thanks for such a funny and good show and also thank you Silas for your service to our great country in the past.

My family loves your show. I was especially impressed with the ending of the show where your family sits together for a meal and it begins with a prayer thanking Jesus for all that you have. Lots of people have the faith, but then are afraid to show it to others. It's a show that I'm not afraid for my twelve year old son to watch for fear of language, violence or nudity. We love you here in Canada and keep up the great work! Gd bless you all.

Thanks so much Robertson family for providing a TV show I can watch with my husband and children. To see men that love their wives, children that love their parents, and a family that prays together brings me peace. I would guess from the success of this show, that my family isn't the only one looking for decent, faith filled entertainment. Don't give up getting Christ's message out there Robertson family, we all need it!

Mr. Phil, Ms. Kay and Family - First and Foremost: THANK YOU for your sharing faith and inspiration. Our family finds Duck Dynasty refreshing. We live in what is quickly becoming one of the most liberal, UN-Godly areas of the union. The Washington - Baltimore Metro area is unfortunately becoming a depressing area in which to raise a family. However, we the people of the Eastern Shore (and the far western part of the State) still hunt, fish, trap, crab, farm and appreciate God's blessings and family values. In an area controlled by liberal media it is refreshing to sit down as a family and look forward to time to laugh and be provided with (even though edited) good television. If y'all ever wanna hunt some Yankee ducks, we'd love to have ya.

I love this show for many reasons, one being that it shows how family's should be, which is respect your elders, go out and be with what God gave us, which is nature and all the it holds, but mainly the Christian beliefs!! Love listening to Phil talk about your Heavenly Father.

I enjoy the show because of the family values that are displayed. It's one of the only shows that I can watch with my 7 year old daughter after 7PM that is appropriate for her. She was born and raised in the south until a few years ago and I think she enjoys hearing the southern accent again. Keep making a good family show.

I am 67 and in chronic pain all the time, but when I discovered ur show, it was the first time I've laughed in a long time! My great- great grandfather made the ferry across Bayou D'Arbonne and our family name is White, so Whites Ferry Road. In fact, I live on Whites Ferry Road, so I bet yall pass my house going fishing. My favorite episode was about the fishing contest. My dad was a commercial fisherman and I was the motor girl. I did it all- toted fish up the hill-cleaned them u name it. In fact, the boat yall showed looked so much like Daddy's, I think I cried. It was a hard life for a girl, but had to be done. I luv your show, and my fervent wish is to come to your warehouse and possibly meet someone. Wanda Seward

We tought the kids some Phil-osophies backed straight from the bible. And talked about Willie's talk he had on Galatians 5. It was awesome to show the kids how you can love God and be crazy fun at the same time. Thanks for all you do and hope you bring your family tour this way!!

Laughter is crucial to your health! I love it...dissappointed as most that they have deleted "In Jesus Name We Pray"....Still, it is far better than any show in decades. A&E, Don't lose this show, and get more Christian Values released.....you will double your ratings.......Thanks all the same...its about time time someone put a show back on tv that has morals......

I love the new show!! Having been a dedicated duck hunter for over 40 years now, I would love to share a blind with the Robertson family and challenge Miss Kay to a biscuit & gravy contest. I may be a Yankee, but my daddy came from Kentucky. I use an old Paul Kingyon duck call and once had Buck Gardner tell me that I was one of the best duck callers in the country. I would love to try one of their calls but 17 years in U.S. Intelligence and 7 gunshot wounds have left me disabled and dirt poor. (never work for Uncle Sam). Keep up the great show, I need the laughs!

It is so wonderful to see a show that has values and prayer. I love how they end every show with food, family, and prayer. It is so enlightening to see that their are family shows still out there.

My granddaughter first told us she was hooked on Duck Dynasty. I did not realize until I started looking up and reading about the Robertson family that there is a lot of faith that the public is not privy to just by watching the show. It is too bad the producers choose to delete and/or not air the better parts that show Americans there is still love and faith in families. One of the things that struck me after watching the show a few times was how respectfull Phil & Ms Kays grandchildren are to them and other adults. That is such a breath of frest air. Keep going Robertsons, spreading your faith.

Our family has started to watch Duck Dynasty. We watch with our grandaughters and we are so thankful to the Roberston Clan for sharing their faith with us. The morals and life lessons are witnessed through prayer (which I particularly love at the end of each episode. ) Our grandaughters watch faithfully, laugh with Uncle Si but notice the strong family values that are portrayed in each episode. We live in Manitoba, Canada and there are many that also follow this show. Thanks to Phil Robertson and his family for sharing their faith in such a way. Our society is tempted by so many negative images and morallity that I felt compelled to write and let you know that many Canadians respond to this show. Continued Blessings Kathe

I am neither a christian nor a practicing Catholic .. I wanted to say that Duck Dynasty is an amazing show. As stated by many of those above ,the love and respect for eachother, family ,friends and your fellow human being shines through brightly!. It is probably the only 'reality' TV show that doesn't celebrate lies, deceit, misogyny and hatred. It is very refreshing to see the success the Robertsons have had with their business and more importantly their family.It may irk some that 'hollywood' is making the show less worthy however I still feel that the Roberstons are showing the 'real world' how families should treat eachother... That is a great accomplishment!.. I applaud their faith and respect.. Thanks for reading.. Fred

Duck Dynasty is like a breath of fresh air. I think people are starving for this kind of entertainment. I had watched several shows before I realized that no one's voice was getting bleeped out because of cursing. In today's world you just kind of expect vulgar language on every show. How strange it is to be "shocked" at not hearing any curse words. Ms.Kay is great. I talk to my dogs just the way she does hers. Keep up the good work Duck Dynasty!!!

It is truly inspiring to see a family standing up for what they believe in. Getting national TV to promote a family that is outwardly religious is quite an accomplishment in today's age. I've watched the show since the beginning and am truly impressed with the family prayer at the end of each show. I hope the Robertsons help the producers see that there is a large population of people that respect TV shows that honor their faith and promote Godliness, brotherly love and family values.

Love, love, love the Robertson family. The fact they share their love of Jesus Christ, family, and the simple way of life is so refreshing. I admire the teens for respecting their elders. Hollywood should wake up and realize the Robertson's faith in Jesus Christ is one of the most enduring parts of the show. When Phil ask the blessing at the end of each episode viewers are blessed along with the family.

Censorship only propagates ignorance, America is made up of all Faiths and Religions and even though some may disagree no Godly word should be omitted. Shame on you A&E!

I love Duck Dynasty. Its a great show about a real family and how they live. I think its great that they are so open with their beliefs in God and the church. I think its a bit unfair to edit out portions of the show that show their more religious side. People would watch the show regardless of their beliefs because the show is genuine and real. There is so much garbage on tv these days it is refreshing to see that there are still real people out there that aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in! God Bless Duck Commander!

Thanks to all the Roberton's who are willing to step out in faith to share Christ's love for all, even throught a very difficult venue known as Hollywood. God bless each and every one of you and your families. God is very "happy, happy, happy" with you all!

My husband and I are such avid fans of Duck Dynasty. Not only the show, but the nature of the families way of life. They live off the lands of Mother Nature. Their children are very well mannered, with "Yes sirs, and a lot of respect for their parents, and elders, unlike many kids of today. They are a very close and well knitted family, with lots of family love and loyalty. I would love for them to come out with book, we are so fascinated with this family, their way of life, the family love for god, and their country. Amazing people, they need to publish a book.

He, like Phil, is not the man he used to be, thanks to our loving awesome God. Would love to meet them myself. Am trying to download your church paper now.

We really enjoy this show and the Robertson Family. We had so many people coming in to work telling us about this show, so we watched it and it is addicting. We love the prayer at the end and the closeness of the family. Keep up the good work. It's so refreshing to watch a christian family.

I can’t get enough of them. They are blessing to lost and dying world. And I hope they keep going and changing lives for the better. That’s a fact jack

How refreshing & rare to see such a wholesome show on television in this day & time. I have to admit that my husband & I struggle finding good, clean shows that we can watch with our 9 year old daughter. She absolutely LOVES Duck Dynasty, as do we all, & we really enjoy all watching it & laughing together. It is so nice to sit down & watch something we all LOVE without having to watch it on my own first to make sure it's clean enough for my little girl. My hat goes off to the Robertsons for their ministry. Even if the producers cut out 99% of the religious aspects, the prayers said at the end of each show can't help but reveal the deep devotion to God that the family shares. Love the show & the family. May God bless!

This is the first real, family based fun, and rated "G" for my grandchildren to watch that'e ever come across our big screen T.V. I always thought if my husband passed on early that I would marry Barney Fife but since he's gone, I'll set my sights on Si. Ha!Ha! Not really. I'm 58 years old but the fun that you all have makes me want to take Estrogen the that will help me grow a beard and let Phil & Kay adopt me. I tell my grandhcildren all the time that I'm going to pack them off to Phil and let him give them a listen about not getting outside and being part of nature! Ha! Ha! Keep on keeping my family entertained becuase you're the best thing that's happened on T.V. so far.

Duck Dynasty is one of the very few shows I watch like this. Their honesty and just being themselves and living life is a nice thing to see. Most T.V programs are full of junk and bad language and this one is just people trying to do well and live the right way and they share their home spun, day to day lives with us. I love it. Thanks Robertson family for giving something decent and pleasant to see with lots of humor thrown in!

It does my heart good to know that they love God and are so involved in their evangelism. There is hope for television yet. Finally a show that makes me "HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!"

God bless the Robertson family for staying true to their values and spreading the Gospel. Uncle Si makes me laugh just by being him but Phil will make you sit up and take notice of his simple approach; live right, love God and serve Christ and hunt. I hope this show goes on for a long time...we need it!

Have to say i was really love the show but became disappointed when I started watching the second season and found the show coming off really fake.....until i did some research and now realize how and why it is done!! Too bad that the producers of the show cut a lot of the good stuff!! I am glad though that the family plan to go on tour and proclaim the Good news!! I also pray that fame and fortune don't ruin this God fearing family and that now with their fame they will realize they have more pull with the producers of the show to add the stuff they want in it~~~ Tks Tina

It is so refreshing to finally see a show with a family that loves God, & their family. No foul language and such respect for each other & their wives!!! I pray for this family's continued success & may they be instrumental in helping to show Hollywood & Washington that this country is still a God fearing nation that love family values & decent, clean intertainment!

I really enjoy the show; especially if I have had a rough day! I know I can watch some light hearted fun and get my heart lifted by laughter. I am especially tickled at all the funny ideas they have that don't turn out the way they planned. Even more inspiring is knowing they are a close family that loves God and makes that evident in their life and do what they can to share that love with other people so they can know Jesus, too! May God bless this show to be around for a long time and that many will come to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

I am a hairstylist and have been for 23 years and i know their hair would look great with some products in it to control their curls. Give it a try you might like it.

Your show is a breath of fresh Christian faith. My father was an elder in New J'ville, he died at age 47, known as a great man and christian, he laughed and joked and had fun. He taught us that being a Christian was not going around with a long face and wearing a cross, if you lived for the Lord, eveyone would be able to tell you were a Christian. He would say give me 30 min with someone and I can tell if they are Christian. Your family reminds me of our raising and it has been heaven on earth. thank you for the show...Melody

They are unique and its hilarious, but they are such good people. They are getting it right! Korie and Willie scuffled over career day & handled it in a Christlike way, IMO. They listened to each other, heard each other, cared about the concerns of the other & worked it out. Wonderful! I would love to see more of their faith in the story lines. These are earthy people, not stuffy, not judgemental, lets see these friendly, hard-working, good people who live what they preach teach us "yuppie kids" more of their spiritual side! We could all learn great things from the Robertson's!

I truly believe that this world would be a much better place if families like the Robertson's were allowed to be themselves on t.v. so that others could learn that welfare, poverty, drugs, drunkeness and hate do not have to be the standard of America. The networks are much to blame for showing people that this is how it is and the American people believing it and living as such. May God bless this family and make a way for their message to get out to the people.

I love this show because it is a show that a whole family can watch. This reality show is done without bad language. I really appreciate that. I applaud their family values and pray that the producers continue to showcase that.

My family loves the show! We record it and watch it as a family. Its hard to find shows that you can be sure are clean. I dont like the fact that the editors try and make them look like something they are not at times. We love them just like they are!! :)

My husband and I have just recently started watching DD and we can't get enough of it! We have watched all the past episodes that are available on demand more than once too! I love the Robertson family, their faith is inspiring! One of my favorite things is the ending prayer around the table. More families need to follow their example. My hope is that the producers will read these comments and realize that we all need and want more of this type of programming. Thank you Phil and Kay for your awesome family!

I have been watching since the 1st episode and now my entire family watches and we are HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!! I raised four boys in the countrty and have had to put a meal on the back burner to wait for them to get in from hunting. We love every show and watch over on DVR. Maybe Christian fans should insist on seeing more of the deleted scenes that bring praise, honor, and glory to the Father!! Keep up the good work and the Faith

Several friends kept telling us about DD and how great it is. We finally watched it last week and are hooked. We love the family dynamic shown and the obvious love for God. Especially love how they all come together at the end and thank God for His blessings. We have laughed at the crazy situations they get into and their redneck solutions to the problem. So refreshing to have a clean family show that the whole family can enjoy. Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you all!

I have grown to love all the Robertsons. I never miss the show. I watch the show over and over. They have Blessed me so much with their faith in God, and I just love some of the silly things they do. I had 3 sisters and four brothers growing up and we laughed and did silly things and tricks on each other and we still do them. I have 8 grandchildren and they tease me too. I respect Phil and Kay and thank you for you faith. I'll meet you all in Heaven someday. May God be praised.

I half paid attention for a while, but once I sat and watched a whole episode or two, I became jealous that I was a "late fan". It's easy to fall in love with the Robertson Family, neat story. Now hurry up and let us meet the rest of you and hear the whole story!!

I keep seeing comments about willie buying a winery,that doesn't clash with christian values,Jesus turned water into wine and the bible doesn't say you shouldn't drink,it says you shouldn't be a drunkard,there's a big difference.

My very favorite show. I can't count the times that I tell my kids over and over again that family is first. You will not always be friends but once family always family. So my fav part of the show is at the end when they all come together and thank God for each other, the day, family what ever. I truly believe the family that prayers together stays together. Thankis for a great show!!

My husband and I are raising two granddaughters. All of us LOVE the show! However, Maelee, who is 10, and proclaims her love for Si, will be very disappointed to learn that he is married. She told me, just two nights ago, "Mimi, I'd marry Si, if he'd just propose". I had to ask her what she'd do all day with Si after they got married, play her fiddle? After she thought for a minute, she answered: "no, not all day...maybe just half...I'd get tired if I played it all day...I guess we could drink tea,though". Don't ever change! A bunch of us rednecks here in Virginia watch and adore yer every move!!! When a young, upcoming fiddle player has a change of heart from Kenny Chesney to Silas Robertson: Hey! yer doing something right, Jack!

While the Robertsons are depicted as wild and crazy it is the praying and their beliefs that have kept my family and me watching. It the case of reality TV religion is very rarely depicted, so its refreshing to see. Plus we are country people and enjoy watching others enjoy some of the same activities that we do.

My husband, John Robertson, are retired seniors...have been married just 3 years as of 11/9/12. We found the show a few months ago and just laugh ourselves silly. We love all of them, but mostly that God is always in the show. Very definitely a 5-star program. Hollywood peeps need to take lessons. Would love to meet the "Other Robertsons"!!!

I love how the Robertson's live their life! As a christian who believes the exact same that they do, it's amazing to get to see people on television who live their life for the Lord. I love the Robertsons and I love Duck Dynasty, Jack! WHOO!

Not much on series television, but hope to make this a regular. Thanks for promoting the love of God in Jesus Christ. Teach on in word and deed.

My family and I love the show! My husband and I have two young boys and FINALLY something we can watch together as a family. The show is a great way to witness about Jesus, and maybe Hollywood will reognize this though the ratings. I think one reason we like the show so much is that we are a redneck family too! The show makes me Happy, Happy, Happy!

This our family's favorite show. It is one of the very few shows actually worth watching. These guys are hilarious and respect the fact they believe in God and aren't afraid of that fact. Also, whole family can watch because of lack of cursing and vulgarity. Awesome show, I hope they continue to see success. Don't edit out their religious beliefs!

I'm kinda behind getting on the bandwagon of this show, and not sure why because now I'm hooked. :-) I just realized this week that I went to Harding with Willie and Korie. I kept wondering why they looked so familiar...then when I looked them up in one of my yearbooks, it hit me like a ton of bricks. :-) Small world in God's family! Keep up the good work guys! Your show is hilarious, and most importantly, thanks for being lights in this dark world. God bless y'all!

One of the first things that appealed to me with DD was the fact there was NO cussing. How refreshing. This series keeps me laughing out loud. It saddened me to hear that they cut out "Jesus" in the script. Don't they realize this crazy mixed up world needs this? Be unique and keep Jesus in the scripts. AMEN!

My nephew told us about this terrific, funny show about these crazy rednecks from Louisiana. As my husband and I started watching, we noticed that God was mentioned quite often and the show ended in prayer with the family gathered around the table. That caused us to do some research about the family. Thank you so much for honoring our Lord and Savior by maintaining your faith and values in the face of what Hollywood calls entertainment. We love your honesty. Please see if you can get Si's wife to come on - I'd love to meet the woman who deals with him on a daily basis! You keep doing what you are doing, and the Lord will continue to bless you for your faithfulness.

My husband and I really enjoy the show. It is what the world needs today! I was amazed what I read about a lot of the relgious parts cut out of the show. I asked myself why do I enjoy this show so much? It is because of the warm love God fearing family. The Dinner Blessing is my favorite, so to me that means there should be more of their Love for Christ in the show.

My husband &I really enjoy watching the show! If it brings any comfort to you during the first 2 shows where cuss words were supposed bleeped out- we knew immediately that Hollywood had done that- just seen enough & knew the timing was off. Hopefully there enough smart ones around to know the difference. Looking forward to watching this week. Prayers God will use you in powerful ways!

I knew the Robertsons when they lived across the street from my grandparents in Junction City...Alan was probably 4 when I first met him...and Phil was not living the life he is today. The joy I feel in seeing the power of Jesus and the love of God cannot be described. Praying for God to bless all the family as they are in the spotlight, reaching out to people who do not know the Lord!
