'Duck Dynasty' stars call up a raiseA&E's "Duck Dynasty" is poised to continue its reign now that the cast members have reportedly hammered out salary negotiations. The series, which begins its fourth season on A&E tonight, is a ratings boon for the network, and the family at the center of the show is seeing the profits of their popularity.
According to reports, the Robertsons are now earning more than $200,000 an episode, which will be spread out among the nine adults and 11 kids on the reality program. The new agreement also keeps the Robertsons around for more seasons of "Dynasty," should A&E want to keep the ratings boon going. The series' third season proved just how popular the program has become, drawing 8.6 million viewers with its premiere and closing out the season with a record 9.6 million tuning in to the finale. The fourth season of "Duck Dynasty," which chronicles the Louisiana bayou family and their Duck Commander line of duck calls and decoys, kicks off at 10 p.m. tonight on A&E. |

@Sokman,
I love that show:
Don't watch NASCAR
I am black!
Have a MASTERS DEGREE
So in review:
Moronic–No, strike one!
NASCAR watching- No, strike two!
"Whyte"-no, strike three!
This is another one of those shows I always see advertised on Discovery channel and I think – W-T-F does this have to do with science or environment or ANYTHING discovery would normally be involed in. Why is there this show glorifying the cruel tor-ture of innocent animals, along with the Logging show (forgot the name) where the tree loggers are made out to be heroes, or MudMen or whatever other sh!t they come up with. It's boring, stoopid unoriginal television about people we wouldn't normally look at if we walked past them on the street. MAKE MORE INTERESTING SHOWS!!!
Your An Idiot This Show Is Not On Discovery Channel.
I want to build duck calls and hang with them for just one day. It's on my bucket list!
Got hooked last year. I think the editor should win an Emmy along with the writers for doing such excellent work;
This show is barbaric. Suffering succotash.
this favorite show of mine on tv now is Duck Dynasty. Men with beards and guns is good watching. Allah Akbar!
Alla Akbah!
IT'S A TRAP!!!
doc her
Love Phil and Si, love the show, nothing succeeds like success. Rock on, waterfowl slayers!
Mommy, why is Santa dressed in green and pointing a gun?
Did not like the season opener.
He spells like he watches BET
Another poorly scripted show
love the show..but its all about the money.....I thought they were millionaires on duck calls...well I guess you just cant have enough case......
Doesn't matter how much money they've made off duck calls. A&E is making billions off this show, the season finale episode itself was watched by 9.6 million viewers. You have to know you worth in this world. Right now someone is making $50K a year while the company is making $200-$350K off the work of that employee.
My wife and I don't watch NASCAR, but never miss Duck Dynasty. Shows like this with true values and laughter without vulgarity don't come along much any more. We enjoy it for what it is. We are what Phil call "yuppies" but we also get it!!
God fearing people may be making a lot of money but you sure won't hear ANY bad language on this show... FAMILY values top the list on this show. LOVE IT!!! 11 million watched the season opener.. not much tops that these days..
"God-fearing" people are buffoons, Carol; flocks of mindless sheep. God isn't all that scary if you just stand up to him. He's rather timid when you do that.
I gotta admit I love this show! The only thing I don't like about it is there are no duck tu rds to be seen on it.
Duck Dynasty is a stupid show for moronic, NASCAR watching whyte trash people.
It's pretty damn funny. What do you watch?
Great show. Good values. Willie has 2 adopted biracial kids. Research and watch before you speak. The show does not stereotype, only non viewers like you.
@Sokman,
I am the opposite of all you state, yet I find this show provides gentle humor without rancor or manufactured antagonism. it always ends on a high looking at the bright side of life. I watch this show and feel good without looking down on anyone because I have had a good laugh without cost to anyone's dignity or actions.
I was prepared to hate it, citified liberal that I am, but got hooked. They are funny, sarcastic and relevant. Get up off you high horse and watch an episode and you might understand why so many people like it.
