I was wondering how they might spin the Duck Dynasty season.
Didn't have to wait long.

huge drop in duck dynasty viewers
Did Phil's anti-gay slurs hurt Duck Dynasty's ratings? Hit A&E show sees 28 per cent DROP in viewers for Season 5 premier
Wednesday night's Season 5 premiere of the A&E reality TV show attracted just 8.5 million viewers - a 28% drop compared to last season's opener
The shock data snaps a streak of ratings records and represents the show's first ever season-to-season fall in numbers
Among adults aged 18-49, the drop was 33 per cent, with just 4.2 million viewers tuning in to catch the redneck millionaires shoot ducks
The back-to-back episodes were Robertson's first appearance since he labeled homosexuality a sin and offended African-Americans in GQ

3. It's a really crummy show, even without the controversy. Will watch the honey booboo show without batting an eye.

9. Yes it could just be Duck Fatigue. Fake rednecks running around killing stuff only gets you so far.

17. I hate to say it for a cable show 8.5 million is still nothing to quack about
That's still pretty high numbers.
Time for a reality check from a better source.

Ratings: ‘Duck Dynasty’ Returns Down From Summer, On Par With Last Year
Duck Dynasty Ratings

It ranks as No. 2 program of night in young adults — behind only Fox's 'American Idol'

More than 8.5 million heard the “Duck Dynasty†call Wednesday, as the A&E juggernaut returned to strong but far from record-breaking ratings — less than a month after a firestorm of controversy engulfed the show.
This number is about the same as its recent Christmas special as well as its 2013 bow last February, but well below its record-setting fourth-season opener of last August.
>snip<
In other words, the "huge drop" is the same number as before, only lower than the all time record.
Basically, numbers haven't changed that much.
Yesterdays temperature was 40 degrees, a huge drop from the record high of 98 degrees in July.
Stupid, stupid DUmpmonkies.

Duck Dynasty is the new Rush Limbaugh show, it is toast every other week.

Those numbers are extremely good for a cable show. Almost every other cable show would die for those numbers.
Dummies are so silly.

Those numbers are over twenty times what Mr. Maddow gets.

Post the "slurs" DUmmies.
Oh, wait, he did not agree with LBGTQWERTY so therefore it's a "slur".
Got it.
You assholes still lost.
SUCK IT.

The DUmmies really don't pay attention to themselves or what they write.
The OP used the Daily Mail as the source, and the DUmmies lap it up because to them the post was good news.
When the Mail is a source for something they disagree with, it is 'rag' or 'unreliable' or sometimes with the more forceful DUmmies, a 'non credible' source.
I love it the way they can change their opinion on a whim.
