Oh...and YES! ( Belated) Happy Birthday Spike! I hope it was a good one!

Belated happy birthday Spike! It's good to hear you had a good one. I've been doing a lot of kayaking lately. On the sad side, I just heard that a 20 year old from Ohio was killed instantly when his neck was broke in a local Pennsylvania dirt bike race on Saturday. I go to that race track often but wasn't there Saturday. I'm glad I didn't see it. If I would have that would be something that would be tough to get out of my head. I've never witnessed anyone die in an accident.

Had a good birthday yesterday. Went to a park to watch the sunrise and see what creatures were out early, mostly red winged blackbirds but the surprise was fish swimming in the ditch that goes through the park. Never seen fish in there before. Then went mini golfing, flipped the rules to most strokes wins my putting was way off lol. Only complaint is I took advantage of Amazon Prime day and had a local Best buy match the price on a pair of Fitbits but apparently Fitbit is having a software issue at the moment so they're basically $60 paperweights at the moment. If they don't get the issue resolved in a week I'm returning them. On the weather front we were in a drought locally but the almost 3 inches of rain we got Sunday night-Monday morning really soaked the ground. Our tomato's shot up a few inches taller already.

Hmmm. Now I have made several posts in other forums, but I wanted to re-post the bottom portion of this since it does relate to the idea of a new series. Since we are talking about a remake, let's take a look at past remakes of favorite shows. Battlestar Galactica: Awesome and lasted 3 years longer than the original! The Bionic Woman: Flopped Knight Rider: Flopped. Although I did like the last few episodes, once they closed the SSC, and it was just the 4 core actors, and the resurrection of FLAG. But too little, too late to save the show. The Dukes of Hazzard 2005 and The Beginning: Flopped HARD Now onto a new version of the Dukes. I believe that it should be a mix of the old cast and new characters, such as Beau and Luke's sons, or even (and I know I will get hate mail for this) Coy and Vance's son's. That way they can call Beau and Luke "Uncle". I really liked the Charlie Daniels idea for resurrecting Uncle Jesse. As for a new car...Have you seen the new Dodge Challengers? (I know I'll get blasted for this too). But since the new Chargers look nothing like the original, I would be willing to see the new Challenger sit in. Now I have written synopses for at least 13 episodes of this series, which I am calling "The Dukes". Of course if it ever got made it would probably change back to the original title. If anyone wants to read the synopses, send me a message. Now on to the repost. I created a "teaser" screenplay, for a commercial to promote the new series. Here it is. Hi All, Don't know if you remember a while back I had posted that I was trying to work on a sequel series for the Dukes...Well a certain posting has got the creative juices flowing again. So I thought I would post my "Teaser" Commercial idea for the new series.... ENJOY!!! V/O Black Screen BALLADEER Do y'all remember Friday nights? EXT. HAZZARD COUNTY - DAY The GENERAL LEE jumps a dry creek bed. BEAU DUKE (V.O) YEEEEE-HAAAAA! The HAZZARD COUNTY SHERIFF CAR tries to jump and smashes into the opposing bank. Sheriff Roscoe steps out of the vehicle, shaking his fist. BALLADEER (V.O) Ooh. Looks like more business for Cooter. FADE OUT V/O BLACK SCREEN BALLADEER Welcome back Y'all; to Hazzard County. EXT. HAZZARD COUNTY SQUARE - DAY LOW SWEEP All is peaceful and quiet. The blast of the Dixie Horn fills the air. The GENERAL LEE 02 drifts around the corner being chased by a Hazzard County Sheriff's car. The General Lee 02 speeds out of the town square still being chased. BALLADEER (Chuckles) Y'all buckle up and hang on now, hear? The way I see it, the more things change, the more they stay the same...only in Hazzard County. ANNOUNCER: The Dukes return Friday night at 8pm EST. Please let me know what you guys think.

It was the new box set that only takes up about 3 of the original Season release DVD sets on a shelf, and yes 'sanitized' with no confederate flag artwork.
