Dukes of Hazzard “The Beginning” DVD

Here’s the latest Hazzard Hype for ya. First of all, this DVD went from being released on March 6, to March 13, and now everything says March 20. We’re just happy to know it’s more or less in March, no warranties expressed or implied.

But wait! Before the DVD can be purchased, the ABC Family Channel will air the new movie on Sunday March 4th, 2007 at 8pm EST. Talk about advertising, this constitutes a 2-hour commercial for the DVD. Whether this will improve sales, or backfire, remains to be been.

The Sunday airtime, and the choice of the ABC Family Channel, conflicts with all the pre-release dirt we’ve heard so far. Like, the girl’s locker room scenes, the Dukes dressing in drag, and scenes of — well, we won’t go in that here. Our burning question for Warner Bros is….which way do you want it? Dukes as it was, or Dukes as the 2005 movie made it?

It’s our opinion that WB is trying to pull back the sleeze just enough to get broader sales, without losing any of the T&A audience from the 2005 movie. WB is straddling the road on this one.

Our forums are also holding the rumor that WB might be considering a new Dukes of Hazzard TV series. While we haven’t verified this, we wouldn’t weld the doors shut against the possibility. After all, The Dukes of Hazzard has been a big cash cow for WB, and they’re not above finding ways to squeeze the teat a little more. Unrated or not.

Either there’s juicy rumors running around in the Forums, or everybody’s digging the new format. Whatever the reason, we hit another new record tonight for most visitors online at once! 90 visitors online at the same time! Congrats to Mufn on a great HNet upgrade.

If we hit the triple digits on the Forums record, we’ll have to observe this feat with some commerative hoopla! Right after we recover from our coronaries.

And we’re not one to spill our own beans, but there’s cool new updates coming to the homepage, too! Oops, I wasn’t supposed to mention that. Shhh!!
