Duck Dynasty is an American reality television series that aired on A&E from 2012 to 2017. The series portrays the lives of the Robertson family, who became successful from their family-operated business, Duck Commander. The West Monroe, Louisiana business makes products for duck hunters, primarily a duck call named Duck Commander. The episodes are structured in a sitcom story format, unlike other reality television series, which has allowed it to have continued success in syndication.{{cite web | last=Rice | first=Hannah | title=How 'Duck Dynasty' Influenced Netflix's 'The Ranch' | website=TheThings | date=January 27, 2021 | url=https://www.thethings.com/how-duck-dynasty-influenced-netflixs-the-ranch/ | access-date=June 23, 2024}} The bearded Robertsons – brothers Phil and Si, and Phil's sons Jase, Willie, and Jep – are the poster characters for the show, though the main cast consists of family and friends of the Robertsons such as their wives – Miss Kay, Korie, Missy Robertson, and Jessica Robertson – as well as coworkers Martin and Godwin, beardless brother Alan, radio host Mountain Man, and the Robertson kids – Sadie, John Luke, Bella, Willie Jr, Rebecca, Rowdy, Mia, Reed, and others.{{cite web|url=http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/redneck-millionaires-built-duck-dynasty-duck-call-business/story?id=15961955#.T4H3ytl5nXo|title='Redneck' Millionaires Built 'Duck Dynasty' in Duck Call Business, Land Reality Show|publisher=ABC News|date=March 20, 2012|accessdate=April 8, 2012}} The family was previously featured on the Duckmen series, and Outdoor Channel's Benelli Presents Duck Commander and its Buck Commander spin-off.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/18/arts/mar-19-24.html|newspaper=New York Times|title=The Week Ahead March 19–24|date=March 18, 2012}}

Concerns
