I torrented an episode of Duck Dynasty, and although I found the show to be self-consciously scripted (or, rather, the producers were too heavy-handed in creation of "situations" for the family to be in), I found the family to be quite charming and likable. They're nice people. I guess a sizable segment of Americans are interested in shows about nice people, rather than Kim Kardashian's butt or gruesome-murder-and-graphic-autopsy-of-the-week on CBS.

I especially liked that they are God-fearing people and pray together at the end of every show.
