'Duck Dynasty' Ratings Are Down Dramatically From Last Season



TV Line reports that 8.5 million people tuned in for the fifth season premiere of "Duck Dynasty" on Wednesday (Jan. 15), down from 12 million viewers who watched the fourth season premiere.

In the highly sought after age demographic of 18-49, only 4.2 million tuned in.

When Phil Robertson insulted black people and gay people back in December, creating a huge uproar in the media, fans passionately defended the patriarch, but the ratings haven't held up.

Could this be the beginning of the end for "Duck Dynasty?"

3. The real Redneck Bigots found out their heroes aren't real!

I think that people finding out that the Robertson family are nothing more then a Hollywood creation and not the down home bigot rednecks that they appeared to be...may be the reason that the numbers are down.

But, it'll only matter if viewership gets less through the season.
