Its season premiere in August, attracted 11.8 million viewers, a cable record for a reality show.Īmid the backlash against A&E, many fans of the series appear to be expressing frustration over a broader sense of feeling muzzled in an increasingly intolerant climate. “Duck Dynasty” is easily the most popular show in A&E’s history. One commenter pasted a passage from Corinthians 6:9, which states, among other things, that men who have sex with men will not “inherit the kingdom of God.” “The Robertson family has never hid the fact that they were conservative Bible believing Christians,” wrote another. “While I do not watch Duck Dynasty, I applaud their belief in family, marriage and the Bible,” wrote another. “Nobody wants to see the truth, these people going against God and the Bible.”
