Review:

A&E's Duck Dynasty has only been on television for a year and half, but it has become the most watched A&E series with the season three finale bringing in 9.6 million viewers. With the fourth season premier this Wednesday, A&E released the third season on a two-disc DVD set this past Tuesday.

Duck Dynasty stars the Robertson clan, where an episode typically centers on hunting, fishing, or duck call building, aka Duck Commander, which was founded by Phil Robertson. The third son, Willie, is the company's CEO and has turned the family business into a multimillion dollar company. Most of the employees are either family or friends, which can be a bit of a problem at times, especially during hunting season.

I don't care much for realty shows, but after hearing good things about Duck Dynasty, I started watching it towards the end of season three and I instantly became a fan. It is rare to find a series with humor and moral values. I was disappointed that ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man opening theme was replaced with a random country song. The special features are average at best, making it just over 25 minutes. I was hoping for a few interviews with the cast, but there weren't any. Overall, I enjoyed watching each redneck episode, which looked great on DVD.
