Wednesdays Duck Dynasty drew 6.7 million total viewers off considerably from last weeks premiere haul of 8.5 million total viewers.
While this wouldnt be the first Duck Dynasty season to suffer a ratings dip in its second episode, Wednesdays numbers do indicate a troubling trend for the A&E show. Ratings for last weeks season premiere dropped 28 percent from the Season 4 premiere in August, which amassed a record-setting 11.8 million total viewers during a period when networks were heavy into repeat mode.
