Duck Dynasty debuted with almost 12 million viewers this week. On the hand,
Game of Thrones biggest audience was 5.3 million.
It's not going away, and I certainly HOPE it doesn't go away or I'm ****ed.

It's all about ratings and ad buys. I was upset that
Journeyman was cancelled a few years back but the numbers were awful. Meanwhile,
Two and Half Men repeats last year were getting 20 million viewers a week.
