Duck Dynasty stars receive big salary raises right before Season 4 premieres
Duck Dynasty new season premiered last night on A&E TV with a surprise episode Till Duck Do Us Part.
Everyone comes together to plan a surprise wedding for Phil and Miss Kay Robertson, setting up a special ceremony on their land, which the whole family attends.
Si Robertson distracts Phil and Kay by taking them on a “trip down memory lane” to different places that were meaningful in their relationship.

It was also reported that the cast of A&E’s runaway hit reality series Duck Dynasty has received big raises right before Season 4 premieres.
After prolonged talks, the Robertsons will earn approximately $200,000 an episode to be divided among the nine adults and 11 kids. This is about four times more than what the family banked previously. The new deal also includes additional seasons of the series, and series/cast options.
Talks for a new agreement began in early 2013 and initially delayed production on Season 4. Duck Dynasty eventually began production while negotiations were still underway.
The Season 3 finale of Duck Dynasty was the most-watched A&E series telecast in network history, grabbing 9.6 million viewers and 5.5 million viewers in the adults ages 18-49 demographic.

Duck Dynasty Season 4 will continue to show prayers and guns despite viewers’ complaints
Duck Dynasty Season 3 just ended and, according to a Facebook post by March’s Outdoor Adventures on May 9, people are complaining about how the A&E hit show presents praying and using guns all the time.
A&E network was asked to remove the show from TV.
Duck Dynasty Season 4 is scheduled to air late in 2013
With 9.6 million viewers for the season 3 finale that is highly unlikely. Duck Dynasty even beat American Idol in ratings for that night.
A&E went to Phil Robertson, patriarch of the Robertson clan, and asked if they could stop the praying and the guns.
Phil Robertson said: “If we can’t pray to God on the show, we will not do the show. God and guns are a part of our everyday lives. To remove either of them from the show is unacceptable.”
Fans of Duck Dynasty and of the God-fearing head of the family wouldn’t have expected any other answer from Phil Robertson.
So A&E caved and accepted Phil Robertson’s terms. After all, Duck Dynasty is the most popular reality TV show on cable these days. A&E signed the Robertson’s for another season of Duck Dynasty as confirmed both by A&E and by Willie Robertson.
Duck Dynasty Season 4 is scheduled to air late in 2013.
