*This review is of the final season of the series just being released on disc* It's amazing how popular "reality" TV has become. Networks discovered after their initial successes that they could produce these show for far less than the scripted series they'd been creating for years. As each new show became a hit more and more appeared. The sad thing is that many became tedious to watch but held on trying to stay on the air. What's nice is when one decided the time is right to leave before they hit that point. DUCK DYNASTY is one of the few that has chosen to do so.The series was about the Robertson family, a group that was in the business of making duck calls and founded by patriarch Phil Robertson. Sons Willie, Jase and Jep all worked in the business with Willie taking it to a whole new level. Their first foray into TV was with a small program about hunting and fishing that included small moments with their family. From that rose what we now know as DUCK DYNASTY.Each week we got to see what went on behind the scenes of this Louisiana business. At least that was a part of each episode. The majority of each focused on the family lives of each of the brothers and their father. Everything from their children to their mother's cooking to building duck blinds became fodder for the show. The best part was that there was humor in every corner of the program, not so much forced as created by the predicaments that they were in. Was it scripted? I have little doubt that much of it was, but not all. As we got to know the family it was easy to believe much of this really happened.All of this began just five years ago. It's become so ingrained in today's pop culture world you would think it had been on the air longer than that. We've watched kids grow up and get married, enter dance competitions, have surgeries, and more. The family members became celebrities that attended social functions and their political beliefs became common knowledge. Their focus on faith, perhaps one of the biggest positive and popular items in the show, was criticized and attacked by the press. But they held true to their beliefs and their popularity remained.Each episode began with an issue and ended with the family gathered around to eat a meal and offer a prayer. In the politically correct times we live in this was cause for consternation with many critics of the show. Their voices didn't matter in the end and the faith on display here stayed with the show until the end. And that end is now.Just released is DUCK DYNASTY: LAST CALL, THE FINAL SEASON. The series lasted 11 seasons (keep in mind a season and a year are two different items) and its popularity was beginning to wane just a tad. At one time the most watched cable series the numbers had begun to drop. And after filling the market with everything from books to bobble heads, the family decided to call it quits.Fear not though, that last season was filled with the same fun filled moments that the previous ones had offered. Jase and Willie campaigned against one another to be president of their neighborhood home owners association only to discover the amount of work that went into it. The employees get overly excited about a 3D printer. Willie and Jep must handle a teenage girl's sleepover when their wives are away on a mission in Africa. ZZ Top appeared in the final episode, appropriate since their song "Sharp Dressed Man" opened the series when it began. And my favorite episode involved Korie challenging Willie to come up with an inexpensive romantic evening that resulted in a homemade drive-in.All of these episodes and more are available on this DVD collection. The entertainment value is high as well as family friendly, something rarely found in a world of trying to be the next cool kid on the block known as series television. This group is not the local yokels that many would like to consider them. They are not the backwoods hillbillies many suggest they were. They were shrewd businessmen who say an opportunity and took it. They took a simple idea, one based in hard work and faith, and created a juggernaut that found many watching, buying marketed items and picking up each season of the series. If you are one of those people then you'll want to make sure to add this one to your collection as well.

Duck dynasty is my favorite because it is hilarious and funny. I like all the hunting skills. I also like how you people are Christians. I like Si because he is funny and always wanting to try new things. What is really funny is that Si likes to carry tea around . Si on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Si a 10 witch means he is the funniest of all. He is the funniest off all in the crew. Hey Phil how is the petting zoo. Ha ha ha ha ha. 😸😄😅😆🐖🐄🐏🐃🐂🐓🐐 🐾!!!

I never heard of this show until I see an advert on TV last week.At first I was unsure of the show but after a few episodes I've now watched 2 seasons in 3 nights and on the 3rd season as I type, its funny and very well made, the best part of this show is every person is funny and you have to love S I ... or the mountain maaaaaannnn.This show will keep you laughing and laughing, and time flys past so fast when you watch it be warned you will watch a whole season in one sitting if you download all of the seasons :) There is no shots of the animals being killed minus a snake and some fish, but it only shows the after shots, there is beavers also but you will learn why they kill them... some of this show is very interesting without meaning to be I think, great stuff.

By looking at the rating and reviews about this so-called show, I can but, once again, confirm the reality of how tremendously sick society has become. I cannot find a single positive argument to defend what this show tells, represents or encourages. I'm unable to find anything positive to say about its viewers. Anybody who enjoys this must be profoundly sick. In a world where the self-proclaimed dominant species destroys its own habitat and enjoy it so, where parents claim to love their children while they smoke on their faces if not straight into their fetal shapes, the inhabitants of Planet Earth waste their resources and precious time on producing and -strangely- enjoying a spawn like this. That is nothing odd, in the context of our actual society, dominated by American idols and master chefs, by insults on the news and pictures of the newest madonna tattoo.Still, from a rational and educated perspective, this whole business is deeply disturbing. I'll have to re-watch "God Bless America" to cleanse my brain.
