10. Duck Dynasty

I have watched the show once. It was ok but nothing Earth shattering. I thought it was a silly show. As far as Phil's comments, as a gay man, I could care less what he thinks. I don't know why people are saying the show is done. If Phil leaves the show, they still have four sons to carry it on. When shows get so popular, eventually they fall. After four years of nothing but Duck Dynasty on the media, it was time for them to begin the fade. Look at Mad Men, Kate plus 8, True Blood and so many others where people could not stop talking about the shows, they normally fade out eventually. It was way past time for Duck Dynasty to stop being a front page story. I am not talking about their current story, but every time you turned on an entertainment type news show, there they were. It was getting overwhelming anyway. Glad to see them go down as a blip in our entertainment history.
