Duck Dynasty's ratings fall for a second week.

Their season premier had 8.5 million, down from 8.9 million for the Christmas finale.
The second episode of the new season had 6.7 million viewers.

"Wednesday’s “Duck Dynasty” drew 6.7 million total viewers — off considerably from last week’s premiere haul of 8.5 million total viewers."

Phil's hate filled publicity stunt has failed.

1. unfortunately I cannot stop watching them....

I have never watched them. I don't own a television. But if I did, I would. You know. Stop watching them.

I was way ahead of the curve on this one. I didn't watch them even when it was cool to watch them, LOL. I only regret that now I can't stop, and thereby lower their ratings further.

2. The controversy got me to watch 1 1/2 Duck Dynasty shows ...

which was all I could take.

9. I watched a couple partway. I didn't even know what DD was. Then I stopped, the stupid

was just too great. IMO it's really moronic show.

[spin]

14. I really can't understand why this show is so popular. (n/t)

3. Duck you sucker!!

[Thinkingabout]

4. Great news, the market will remove them from the network.

I know, its Obama's fault and left wingers.

[former9thward]

5. What market?

Any cable show would kill to get those numbers.

6. They should add a black gay baptist skeet shooter to spice up things.

You know, see how they all react.

7. SHARKNADO!!!

Jump that, Sparkplug!

8. Good.

10. That duck jumped a shark. nt

11. Maybe because of these photos?

[Jenoch]

15. What's wrong with those photos?

I was not a DD viewer. I watched one show just to see what the deal was after the GQ story came out. J am opposed to Phil Robertson's homophobic comments.

I don't see anything wrong with those family photos.

[frylock]

16. the photos are fine. the fact that they're fake, plastic hillbillies may have been news..

to a lot of their fans.

[Jenoch]

17. I read somewhere that Phil Robertson

last shaved in 1988. The preppie golf photo was in the 90s. I don't really know how fake their 'hillbillieness' is because I only watched one show.

12. k&r

[City Lights]

13. Haha.

Hope this trend continues.

[Paladin]

18. Maybe that "Marry Girls At Age 15 'Cause They're Useless by Age 20" thing resonated, some.

Whatever the cause, I'm glad to see this miserable series doing worse.

19. Finger Licking Good

I suppose we can put ol’ Phil up on a cross now and stick a spear in him since he’s the new martyr for the Christian Right. Last year, it was the Chick-Fil-A Chicken being branded as the new saint of Christianity for standing up for all that is Holy Matrimony in the eyes of the Church. These folks want to be on the wrong side of history with their public criticism of homosexuality but cry fowl (pardon the pun) when their own bigotry is examined in a public light. Phil’s licking his fingers at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/08/holy-rollin-poultry-on-cross-chick-fil.html

20. Might have something to do with the fact that A&E is running it NONSTOP

.... I would imagine even the most rabid redneck fans would get tired of the reruns at some point.

[jmowreader]

21. Or people are just tired of watching boring-ass people

Season 4, episode 7: two of the Robertsons' kids go to the dentist, and a couple members of the family help clean rotten food out of a broken refrigerator.

Now let me ask you something: given the choice of watching two of the Robertsons' kids go to the dentist, or World Championship Paint Drying, which would you pick?
