The popularity of the Robertson family as seen through the
eyes of their show DUCK DYNASTY has astounded those in the TV industry,
including their home network of A&E. Where they were once thought to be
just another “reality” show, they’ve become such a phenomena that people talk
about them in the news and their products in stores are selling astronomically.
So where did they come from? How did their show come about?
That’s easily answered. They made duck calls and eventually
produced their own series of hunting videos that they sold as well and appeared
on the Outdoor Channel. The videos they shot included the homespun humor that
fans have come to know over the past few years as well as their devotion to
God. It was these same videos that caught the eye of A&E producers who came
calling and with the help of the Robertson family turned that show into what we
now have.
But what if you never saw those original programs? What if
you wanted a sampling of what they had to offer back then or to see what
started it all? That happened last year when during their season hiatus they
began to show a new series called BEFORE THE DYNASTY. With newly shot
introductions from the cast these short spots were highlighted featuring those
earlier shot programs, not in their entirety but in small dosages. Those
programs have been collected to form this video.
But don’t think that all of these feature nothing but
hunting techniques. It’s much like the show we see now but perhaps just a tad
bit less polished. The same as if you were watching a pilot for a show rather
than the finished product. The same cast of characters are there to be found,
the whole Robertson clan. And the antics fans have grown to love are all on
hand as well. If you love the show, you’ll love this as well.
Segments include a pair of NYC firefighters who win a trip
to go hunting with the Robertsons and a trip to Las Vegas for a business
convention. Both those and other episodes come up with just what you would
expect from this series. At just over 3 hours’ worth of shows this DVD offering
should keep fans happy while waiting for the next season to begin or the last
to arrive on disc.
The popularity of the show isn’t likely to disappear soon
but eventually like all other TV series the odds are it will end. That’s not
something fans will be happy with. It’s one of the reasons why DVDs like this
are worth picking up. If you love the show and want to enjoy it forever pick up
this and other seasons today.
