Duck Dynasty


OK, I've just about had it.  As you well know, dear readers, I am a fan of TV.  One may suggest I watch a tad too much TV.  Especially when it comes to Matlock repeats.  

NONETHELESS, I do have my standards, such as they are, and I am proud to say I draw the line at these ubiquitous "reality" shows.  An alarmingly large cross-section of this nation apparently disagrees with me because reality shows are proliferating at a truly scary rate.

So you can imagine how aggrieved I was when I read that Duck Dynasty's March 20th episode was one of the top-rated shows on ALL OF TV for the week.  The Capitalist in me is happy for this Horatio Alger-like family and the success of their duck calls, but the TV appreciator in me simply cringes.  A lot.
