‘Duck’ flies higher after season low

“Duck Dynasty” rebounded from last week’s season low Wednesday night.

The A&E reality series posted 6.1 million total viewers, according to Nielsen overnights, up 18 percent over last week’s 5.2 million.

And it surged among adults 18-49, posting a 2.5 rating, up 25 percent from last week.

“Duck” was easily the night’s No. 1 program in both total viewers and 18-49s.

That lifted lead-out “Wahlburgers,” the new reality show that’s already received a second-season pickup, to a 1.3, up from a 1.1 last week and the No. 2 show on cable for the night.
