Duck Dynasty Season Premiere February 27 – And Here’s Why We Can’t Wait

The wait is almost over.  We're less than a month away from the return of our Duck Dynasty and most of us are going through what I've labeled DDDT's.  That's Duck Dynasty Delirium Tremens.   (Those shakes that junkies get) We need a fix, SOON.  And it's coming.  8pm Central on Wednesday, February 27th on A&E.  Willie, Jase, Si, Phil, Miss Kay, Mountain Man and Godwin are ready to unleash Season 3 and we're more excited than a deer dog in a petting zoo.  But exactly why is it that this show has captured our undying devotion?  Pastor Rob Sumrall put it best to me in his Rob's Ramblings where he wrote:

Duck Dynasty has become a cultural phenomenon.  Phrases like “Happy! Happy! Happy!” and “Hey, Jack!” have become common vernacular.  We can’t wait to see what crazy stunt Willie is going to pull.  We eat it up when Uncle Si spins his own Vietnam-inspired philosophical maxims.  We love it when Kay and Phil act borderline inappropriately frisky.  My wife, even though she denies it, has a mini-crush on Jase and his dry wit.  Each episode unfolds new adventures of clean fun and insight into the slightly bizarre Louisiana culture that the Robertsons are so proud of.

Pastor Sumrall goes on to write:

The show is really not about hunting at all.  I believe the big drawing card for Duck Dynasty is its emphasis on family.  Almost every episode has a “plot” that revolves around family relationships and the natural tension they create in life.  Whether it be sibling, marital, or parental, these relationships play out before our eyes where people act surprisingly decent and respectful.  I believe America is tired of the  ”Jerry Springer-ization” that afternoon television has wrought upon us.  We are weary of pregnancy tests that tell who the baby’s daddy is and sisters that sleep with their brother-in-law.  Most families don’t need to turn on the t.v. to see dysfunction played out; it’s happening next door or maybe even down the hall in their own home.  We are exhausted from relationships gone awry, and Duck Dynasty is like some funny, bearded, camouflaged oasis that reminds us that family can work.  The cast remind us that we can resolve our differences without screaming and yelling.  We don’t have to have a revolving door of serial relationships in our lives that leave us emotionally spent and hollow on the inside.  Phil Robertson and his family remind us that family indeed can work.

 

That's it isn't it?  It's FAMILY and FAMILY COMES FIRST.  So grab your family and join the millions of others Feb. 27 to see just what our West Monroe neighbors have planned for us.  Oh and a note to the Robertsons.  Thank You!  You're another reason why we're so proud to be from Louisiana. Or should I say, "Happy, Happy, Happy."
