CMT is randomly airing episodes of “The Dukes of Hazzard” to fill in programming gaps as the Hollywood writer’s strike continues. There are five Dukes eps airing on CMT this Tuesday, December 11th, starting at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time.

More episodes will be aired on Friday, December 14th, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, including the fan favorite “The Ghost of General Lee.” Check your local listings, and visit CMT.com’s “On TV” and “TV Schedule” links to find future showings.

Now, if you think there’s no time for TV because Christmas coming up fast - don’t worry! There’s plenty of fun “Dukes of Hazzard” merchandise online to make gift-giving easy! Our continued favorite is the remote-control General Lee car, which now has working headlights!

A quick browse of “Dukes of Hazzard” merchandise finds shirts, hats, mugs, toy General Lee cars, DVD sets, backpacks, and more! If you’ve been good this year, ask Santa for Dukes stuff ! And if you’ve been bad….well, just buy it for yourself. Yeehaa!

HazzardNet has received official information that John Schneider and Tom Wopat are making concert appearances together in 2008! These cabaret shows are likely to sell out quickly, so we’re giving you the raw information as we have it.

We have confirmation that John and Tom are scheduled to perform at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, in Costa Mesa CA, on May 10, 2008. For ticket info and details, visit the link below, and scroll to the bottom of the page:

We will share other concert dates as they’re announced.

We also have unofficial information that indicates Tom Wopat will be attending the 2008 DukesFest in Atlanta, GA, June 28 & 29 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway!

Tom was unable to attend the 2007 DukesFest due to a touring commitment with the off-broadway musical production of “Chicago.” And while Tom always has an escape clause that lets him take a Broadway gig if it comes up, so far it sounds like he’s on board for DukesFest 2008! (Note, cast appearances are always subject to change - we’ll bring you the latest DukesFest news as it becomes available.)

While we’re talking about John & Tom - we’d better mention that their 1987 holiday movie, “Christmas Come to Willow Creek” is available on DVD. It’s for sale at most DVD retail outlets and Amazon.com. This is your big chance to see John and Tom together in a non-Dukes setting as bickering, truck-driving brothers rather than chummy, car-racing cousins. It’s not your average, sappy, Christmas special, so if you like a little angst served up with your eggnog, you’ll enjoy this flick. It gets mushy at the end, but hey, it’s a Christmas movie! Enjoy the fistfights until you get there.
