Overpassing Syfy’s "Sharknado" launched Twitter frenzy and managed to make its way to theaters all over the country, but ratings-wise? "Ducky Dynasty" brought in a whopping 10.4 million more.  Even surpassing, “Duck Dynasty" outdid in the ratings, from "Mad Men's" anticipated return to the finale of one of NBC's biggest comedies. Executive Vice President of the network explains the show’s success in the following; “The Robertsons represent a lot things we as Americans cherish,” said David McKillop, the general manager and executive vice president of the network: “self-made wealth, independence, three generations living together.”

What does this new success mean for the future? Will man start walking around with long beards? Is cameo going to be in next season? Or is duck hunting going to become a problem? With Duck Dynasty popularity raising what can we expect? If you have step foot in Wal-Mart you might have noticed all the Duck Dynasty products on displayed.  From shirts to microfiber pillows. There’s even an app called the Duck Dynasty Beard Booth. In the future we could probably expect more movies or even TV shows with rednecks or even with men who look like they need a good shower. Duck Dynasty could be the new theme for upcoming entertainment.
