"Duck Dynasty" will NOT go homeless if A&E decides to pull the plug ... TMZ has learned, at least two other networks are salivating at the chance to pick up the popular reality show.
The owner of the popular Christian-affiliated Hunt Channel -- a guy named Merrill Sport -- tells TMZ, he'd pick up DD in a heart beat ... and would beam the show straight to its most loyal viewers: sportsmen and Christians.
He says, "We believe in the 2nd amendment and freedom of speech ... A&E needs to put on their big boy pants, and if they don't like the programming, they need to either let [DD] go or shut up and pay them."
Sports adds, "A&E is too scripted. [Hunt Channel] would let the personalities flow."
Rusty Faulk, CEO of the outdoorsy Pursuit Channel agrees, telling us Pursuit is 100% interested in grabbing DD if A&E takes a pass. Rusty adds, "We don't censor our personalities."
Has ANYBODY even heard of these cable channels?
They must be included in that "Nobody fucking watches these shows" cable package.
And in light of this recent scandal what a BRILLIANT idea to offer to structure a show around this bunch, that is less scripted to "let the personalities flow." Personally I think that if A&E had not carefully edited out all the racism and homophobia Duck Dynasty probably would have been off the air after only three episodes.
By the way before these critter killing lunatics get too excited they might want to read over the Dynasty dipshit's contract which apparently precludes them from having any new TV shows for a certain period of time.
By the way in case you missed it God happened to weigh in on this controversy a while back.
The Duck Dynasty guy who likened homosexuality to bestiality makes a living helping people trick ducks into thinking they want to fuck them.

Well put, and you can't argue with the word of God, right Phil? 
Maybe Sarah's friends at Fox will pick them up. It would be the topping to a Fruit Cake Channel.....
ReplyDeleteDrop them worthless sons of bitches. Who needs them.
ReplyDeleteThree networks. The Blaze TV has also made similar statements.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm sure A&E will gladly turn over their Intellectual (ha ha) Property they developed and grew - over to bumfuck channels no one has ever heard of. Personalities flow? Isn't that what bogus sportsman Sarah Palin is supposed to be doing
ReplyDeleteNo, that's her dead fish that 'go with the flow.' Sarah goes against the current, you know, because she is so strong and mighty since she turned her life over to Christ back when she was a teen. Pass the Kleenex..I need to cover my mouth while I laugh hysterically at this whole idiotic thing. And just when you thought the Palin family portriats were weird....this crew is odder than the Addams Family, but just as contrived for TV.
DeleteYeah, I'm sure A&E will gladly turn over their Intellectual (ha ha)
Delete+1
I thought Fox had already picked this show up last week. I imagine there is that standard clause that the show can't pop up anywhere else....but who knows. We are the laughing stock of the globe.....freedom of speech my ass. These grifters are the opposite of everything a good Christian stands for. The videos showing the family before just proves how fake all this is, and the ones with Phil preaching are even worse than the GQ interview. When you put this in perspective of the current status of millions of people esp veterans......losing unemployment, food stamps, housing...pretty much the basics and this disgusting millionaire family flaunting "christian" values. It is all beyond hypocrisy and they make me sick.

Leave Phil Robertson Alone! 1647 comments is a feather in her cap.
Now we will see the good Christian that comes from Brancy 2014.

DeleteI find them to be very uninteresting folks!
As in this DD guy and his family, Sarah Palin and hers and, Jerry Prevo head of the Baptist Church in Anchorage, AK. They are ALL about raising money and nothing more or less. Frauds all of them!
Two women for the four men? Must be related to the Palins.

ReplyDeleteLooking at that picture, I don't understand why anybody would want to watch a show about six dudes.
ReplyDeleteEwwww the guy on the far right is rubbing his crotch on the other guy's elbow. Doesn't look Christian to me.
ReplyDeleteChristians, no; FWB, yes.
DeleteWhy can't those two guys grow a beard like the other four guys?
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, I was working at vacation cabins, on Bristol Bay, where Todd and Sarah honeymooned.
ReplyDeleteI would see Todd out fishing every morning at sunrise. On the fifth day, I went over to talk with him.
I said to him, “you are staying in the honeymoon suite, you should be making love to your new bride and not out fishing.”
Todd replied saying he couldn’t make love to Sarah because she had gonorrhea. I said, well just get a blow job. He said, I can’t, she has pyorrhea. I said just screw her in the rear then. He said, I can’t she has diarrhea.
I said, I know it is none of my business, but why did you marry her. Todd said, I love fishing and she has worms.
I would think that was funny if I didn't think it was a true story.

Nope. I agree, DD would fit in some place else. And soon get the cheap crap they produce out of stores.

ReplyDeletePhil Robertson Isn't Going To Miss Any Duck Dynasty Episodes - Gets Raise
A&E might have acted like they were being tough when they handed down a suspension to Phil Robertson for his homophobic remarks but in reality nothing is going to happen to him at all and his raise with the network kicks in soon too. The new season of the show premieres next month. A&E doesn't want to change anything so he will appear in all the new episodes airing next month.
You and I realize they filmed these episodes months ago. Lots of people who watch the show probably think they were filmed the day before they air. They will call the network and ask how come Phil is on the show if he is suspended and then the network will explain that the shows are filmed months in advance and they didn't want to ruin the story line of the season by pulling his episodes.Those same people will then ask about story lines and complain that they thought the show was real. The other crazy thing is that A&E is already committed to a fifth season of the show and in the contracts everyone gets a raise and Phil is right there with them in getting a raise.
This suspension thing might have been good press but it doesn't seem to have actually done anything except generate more publicity for the already top rated show and ensure they get record ratings when the new season debuts.
I knew it!!!! They pulled this stunt either last year or earlier this year.
DeleteAnd then Snortin' Sarah Ginns up the BS level for them. A &E should just fire their fucktard asses.
No one in their right mind will watch that bs show. Except idiots like the payme family.
Suspending Phil while the show is on hiatus and the new season is 9/10 in the can is like telling him he can't go duck hunting when it's not duck hunting season. It's like disciplining a sassy kid by sending him to his room when it's already 15 minutes past his bedtime.
DeleteCongrats to the A&E marketing dept.. Sarah was wrong. This was a brilliant, zero cost marketing campaign.
And now you know why A&E did it. Win-win for the network. They get more eyeballs and make sure the gays don't get too nasty towards them since they "did something" about this idiot.

You aren't a redneck, PHIL, you're a rich dumbass running a scam for attention and money like the Heath/Palins.
DeleteWhy does anyone watch DD? What is the allure of these "so-called" reality shows? They are not real! They are all scripted.
ReplyDeleteYou either get to look down on them, and they take that all the way to the bank, or you get to feel like one of them, and they take that all the way to the bank. Either way, love them or think you are better than they are, they are rich and you are not.
DeleteYou assume that I am not rich? How is that claim valid? You do not know me.
DeleteYou migt be a Duck Dynasty fan if:
ReplyDeleteYou've ever raked leaves in your kitchen.
Birds are attracted to your beard.
Your wife's job requires her to wear an orange vest.
You clean your fingernails with a stick.
Your coffee table used to be a cable spool.
You keep a can of RAID on the kitchen table.
Your wife can climb a tree faster than your cat.
or there's a dead beaver in your sink.
DeleteOr you think that black folk in the pre-civil rights era were singin' an shuckin' and jivin' and weren't singin' bluez
Or if you think that only people who did not believe in Jesus started wars and killed people.
DeleteOr if you preach repentance, but when you beat up a bartender and a bartender's wife in Arkansas, bought your way out of the assault and fled to Louisiana-- never returning to ask forgiveness from the injured parties.
Bribing or buying your way out of trouble is not the same as Making amends and restitution. Unless you are a Duck Dynasty or a Palin.
DeleteSuch a minuscule percentage of the population even watches this show to begin with. I was barely aware of it until this "controversy." Just another example of how backwards this country is. As long as it's in the death grip of the fake piety exemplified by the reaction to this incident, it will continue to be a laughingstock.
ReplyDeleteI finally watched DD for the first time last night. A&E seems to be having a festival of their shows. Sorry, but there is nothing entertaining about hearing a bunch of guys talking dumb s--t to each other. The only appeal that I can think of is that people watching feel that they can relate-- "Hey, Ma, they talk just like us." The business of wearing those headbands, no matter where they go, makes everything look scripted and contrived. Fake fake fake. In a few years, when the show has run its course, they will shave off their beards and hopefully we'll never see them again.
ReplyDeleteThe other appeal is to feel smugly superior to the rednecks on the show. The same reasons people watched Honey Boo Boo.
Delete@8:59 I think that is (was) Sarah Palin's appeal, too. There are some people who don't like it when their politicians "talk down to them," meaning that the guy's intelligence makes them feel dumb. When Sarah speaks, she uses expressions like, "sticks to their guns," "circle the wagons," "flippin-unbelievable," which produces the same reaction-- namely people can understand her, she is one of them.
DeleteEveryone needs to remember that Sarah Palin is NOT a politician. She holds no office, left Wasilla in major debt when she was their 'acting' Mayor (she actually hired someone else to do the work!), quit the last one she had mid term (gov of Alaska), has held no private sector job in years (she quit those too, or was fired/let go!) -
DeleteSarah Palin is nothing more than a major 'flunky'!
"[Hunt Channel] would let the personalities flow." - yep. And how far would that flow go if say, one of the guys jumped up and started using his Freedom of Speech Rights and started saying how much he loved Obama, minorities, equal rights for woman, pagans, Rachel Maddow, and we must do something about Global Warming right now?!....Yeah, he'd be shut down so fast his beard would be slammed in the door.
ReplyDeleteYou might be a Palin if:
ReplyDeleteYour sixteen year old daughter delivers her baby the same time as her fifty year old mom.

The only way you can get your kid to obey you is to bribe him with popsicles.
If you continue to insult the father of your child, even though some day that kid is going to be able to read all of that hateful stuff on the internet.
If you claim to be a Professional Blogger but your blog is written by a professional ghost writer
If your mother thinks that the Duck Dynasty guy should be his freedom of speech and keep his TV show, but not Martin Bashir
If your mother uses a September 11 copyrighted image to raise money for her PAC
If your mother writes a book about protecting the Heart of Christmas but doesn't bother to go to church. For that matter, when she was in Israel, she didn't visit the birthplace of Jesus.
If your mother claimed to be pregnant because she was wearing a scarf but didn't "show." Then, at 8 months, expecting a special needs child, she went into labor, leaked amniotic fluid, never went to a hospital, gave a speech, flew for 12 hours, passed up a hospital in Anchorage with a neonatal ward to deliver a child in a small town hospital that was not equipped for special needs premature births. Yes, that's an even bigger miracle than the one that took place in Bethlehem.
Yes, there are probably many more. I hope that everyone adds to the list.

A&E’s Decision to Suspend Phil Robertson Is Not a Freedom of Speech Issue
ReplyDeleteIn America, the 1st Amendment guarantees freedom of speech which is the political right to communicate one’s opinions and ideas using one’s body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them. Also included in the 1st Amendment is freedom of religion which is defined as the right to choose a religion (or no religion) and exercise it without interference from the government so long as it does not encroach on other citizens’ rights. There is a minor controversy raging among conservatives and evangelicals over one minor television personality’s right to communicate his opinion based on his religion that the constitutionally challenged have determined is a freedom of speech issue. Whether or not one is inclined towards intellectual masochism by watching A&E’s modern iteration of the Beverly Hillbillies, “Duck Dynasty,” or not, A&E’s decision to suspend one of the show’s stars is not a freedom of speech issue.
The fact that Duck Dynasty’s patriarch, Phil Robertson, was able to voice his bigoted religious opinion and see it in print settles the argument once and for all that his freedom of speech and religion were not interfered with by the government. However, that has not stopped the right-wing from going berserk over A&E, a private entertainment network, exercising their freedom of speech in announcing to their audience that they cut a character from one of their fake reality shows; likely for some sort of breach of contract for damaging the entertainment network’s reputation as tolerant, and arguably supportive, of the gay community. What conservatives fail to acknowledge is that there are no constitutional free speech rights involved in A&E’s decision, except that Sarah Palin, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, and a host of bigots at Fox News are attacking A&E for exercising their right to freedom of speech.
It was certain that Palin, as constitutionally challenged as any 2-year old pit bull, would jump on A&E’s decision and claim the network violated Robertson’s freedom of speech. Her claim was particularly hypocritical after she pressured MSNBC’s Phil Griffin to fire Martin Bashir for exercising his freedom of speech..............

As the Tea Party continues their delusional preoccupation with destroying both the federal government and the black president, the faithful appear to forget that Barack Hussein Obama is sticking around until January 20th of 2017 before the swearing-in of a new (Democratic) president. That’s over three years distant. That’s about 1,100 more days of your favorite Kenyan still in the “White” House every time you turn on your TV. By the time Teapublicans are officially rid of Obama, he’ll be nearly 56 -years-old. Spouse, Michelle will be 3 days shy of her 53rd birthday. Elder daughter Malia will celebrate her 19th year on Independence Day of ’17 (that’s gotta piss off the righties) and even young Sasha will turn sweet 16, June 10 of 2017.
ReplyDeleteConsidering how disgusting and burdensome this last year has been, three more years seems like a long, long time. And for the radical right, that’s exactly what it is. For the duration, look for more of the same from the extremists’ opposition. I doubt there are enough Democrats willing to get off their couches to reverse the Teapublican majority in the House and I look for a razor-thin Senate margin for the good guys and gals. So, if history is any guide, we get continued flurries of nonsensical legislation out of the House; reasonable rejoinders from the Senate and possibly a veto or two if things get too wild and wooly.
My major concern is trade-offs to keep the government afloat, even if the numbers aren’t there for the Teapublicans. It all starts with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Billionaires, the insurance and pharmaceutical interests and clueless Republicans want to rip it to shreds. If they do, premiums will go even higher than they repeatedly have in the last quarter-century.
To hell with anybody who is really sick. To hell with women’s reproductive needs. To hell with covering pre-existing conditions. To hell with continuing to cover cancer, diabetes, heart and stroke victims after the meter reaches a certain point. To hell with insuring the young, minorities, unemployed and infirm. To hell with freebie preventative measures. To hell with expanding Medicaid. To hell with ACA. In short, to hell with a major percentage of the population, just as has ALWAYS been the case with the health care insurers and the druggie industry and, not incidentally, the modern-day South. And doofis gay-haters – (Hey “Duck Dynasty” quacks, how you doin’?), racists and bible-babbling hypocrites will have just enough votes to make life miserable for thinking and civil people.

ReplyDeleteI never watched this anyway. I don't know who they are. Could careless. But I know Scarah love division.
