The Odd Duck: Beardless Alan Joins 'Dynasty' Show, Duck Dynasty turns to God

An important ingredient that I’m sure flies over the heads of progressives and is essential  to the success of this show is that the Robertsons are a God-fearing family.   

The popularity of the shows proves that there’s a need in the country that’s finally being met. 

I don’t think Libs can ever get it in a million years. 

CBN reports today Duck Commander, the Robertson family duck call business made famous by A&E's hit reality show "Duck Dynasty," is more of an empire.

But in the beginning Phil Robertson made his duck calls in his backwoods Louisiana backyard. And as the oldest son, Alan Robertson served as one of his dad's first employees.

"We made everything in there," Alan said, pointing into an old shed behind his dad's house. "There used to be an old band saw out back and I used to cut calls in half. I was little, I was 12 years old, I mean, OSHA, we didn't know what OSHA was in those days."

Alan then gestured toward an old red water shed with rows of nails stuck in it.

"This is kind of one of the last things left from the old days," he explained. "See these nails here - we used to hang duck calls on these nails."

Alan Joins Season 4

Although he's the oldest brother, fans of "Duck Dynasty" probably didn't know he existed until now. Alan debuted on the show's Season 4 premiere to a record-breaking audience. Nearly 12 million people watched, making it the largest audience ever for a nonfiction show on cable.
