It only took five decades, but beleaguered "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson exhibited some of the traditional family values that he preaches.

Looks like Phil is back. I have to wonder if this whole thing was a publicity stunt from the start.

If it's season 5, he's supposed to be in that. They should've already done the shows before all of this.

"Duck Dynasty" family patriarch Phil Robertson will be back on the popular A&E reality show when new episodes begin filming in 2014, the network said in a statement on Friday. A&E had previously suspended Robertson after he was quoted in GQ magazine discussing homosexuality.

"A+E Networks' core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect," the statement read. "We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people's home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principles."

The statement went on to "reiterate that (Robertson's personal beliefs) are not views (the network) holds," but to note that " 'Duck Dynasty' is not a show about one man's views." It noted that the Robertson family often is seen on the show coming together "to reflect and pray for unity, tolerance and forgiveness."

"So after discussions with the Robertson family, as well as consulting with numerous advocacy groups, A&E has decided to resume filming 'Duck Dynasty' later this spring with the entire Robertson family," the network said. "We will also use this moment to launch a national public service campaign (PSA) promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people, a message that supports our core values as a company, and the values found in 'Duck Dynasty.'"

In the GQ interview, Robertson commented on homosexuality and racism. GLAAD issued a statement criticizing his remarks, while others, including former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, defended Robertson.

The announced suspension had no effect, since the show was already on hiatus so the Robertson family could participate in duck-hunting season, and most of the upcoming season had already been filmed. The rest of the Robertson family had announced they could not imagine filming the show without their patriarch.

"Duck Dynasty" returns to A&E on Jan. 15.

I don't quite understand the secondary uproar over his 'race comments.' Literally recounting his memories growing up in the poor south = racism? It's short sighted and doesn't reflect the big picture of racism in our country, but the assertion that these comments are "beyond the pale" is absurd. "I knew people who were happy" is not anywhere near "black people were all happy during jim crow." You have to want to trash him to spin it that way. idk

And he also said that it blurs right from wrong and acts as a gateway to beastiality, incest and [insert something bad here]

“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”

We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job. We just love ’em, give ’em the good news about Jesus—whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort ’em out later, you see what I’m saying?

Totally unrelated, but am I the only one as a non-American who expected Duck dynasty to be some kind of satire based looney toones spoof... I expected to much from America.

You didn't think anyone on TL was actually a fan of this show, watching it regularly?

I would say that every American who respects education and somewhat thought-provoking discussion thinks this show is a joke. I tend to think 90% of TV is a joke though, and only watch stuff on Netflix. A&E and TLC (and a lot of the non-history shows on the History Channel) lost all respect from most Americans. Their shows are just so bad and they continue to produce some of the worst readily available content on American TV.
