Why 'Duck Dynasty' is more than just duck hunting

>>> some of you may be wondering why we took eight minutes out of our program to share some footage with a bunch of red neck duck hunters in louisiana. i agree it hardly seems like something this network would do, but for one you underestimate my co-hosts and my bosses who have been incredibly generous and open-mined when it comes to keeping their strange little conservative happy. for another, they realized and i hope you do too no that the story of duck kine dynasty is so much more than a story about duck hunting . the rocketsons are an oasis of hope in a vast desert of depravity. the american family as depicted on television is practically unrecognizable to many of us, whether it's the raunchy drunken idiots of " jersey shore ," the sad exploitation of "hoony booboo" or the gaudy materialism of "the real housewives," very few families today are people you would want your children around for more than a few minutes. we may be entertained by snooki's club hopping exploits or the well-heeled cat fights of beverly hills , but these aren't families we want to emulate. they weren't people we aspire to be. at least i hope not. the robertsons are simple, hard working, fun loving people who put faith and family ahead of everything else. they give back to their community. their kids say please and thank you. they don't cuss. they don't scream at one another. they don't get drunk and arrested, and i have only seen phil and miss kay make out once. believe it or not, they're still pretty fun to watch. you don't have to be a hunter to appreciate their values, although knowing your way around a frog pond might help with a few things but it's not to know that every wednesday night there's a family on television you can watch with your family. and i'm proud that we have a show, the cycle, that sees the value in that. thanks for indulging me, the trip was incredible will i special to me. i hope you enjoyed it too. that does
