The show that Rick left for was "Amanda's". He played the chef, Earl Nash, at Amanda's by the Sea - a hotel run by Bea Arthur's character Amanda. The show was based on the iconic British sitcom "Fawlty Towers", but was cancelled after 13 episodes. The show also starred Fred McCarren, who was Neil Bishop in "The Big Heist". "Fawlty Towers" famously (at least on this side of The Pond) only ran for two seasons of six episodes each (six episodes is the standard season length for British sitcoms), and they were four years apart due to the stars/writers getting divorced in-between. Here's the first episode of "Amanda's". I assume by the picture quality that it hasn't been released on DVD or repeated lately. Rick appears at just over eight minutes in.

I had no idea that 'Ol Red was that old of a song. I'm not much of a Kenny fan but I'll admit that Islands in the Stream was (and still is) amazing. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. As I recall it was number 1 on country and rock charts for a long time. One of the most successful songs in history.

I just found out something. A song I like. Blake Shelton sings Ol' Red, I just found and heard original. I never knew it was a Kenny Rogers song. 😲 Looks like the only change Blake made was "Ol' Red will have you treed by the morning sun" Kenny sings "Ol' Red will have you treed before the morning comes"

Do you mean Sonny Schroer 's other series?

Agreed…they should have had more episodes with Enos & Cletus together, especially once Rick Hurst’s other series didn’t last. But, at least Cletus was back in the reunion movies.

(20 years later )…Actually you did ask for the info, by your initial question. I love both Enos & Cletus, as both had important & integral parts in the show. I’m currently going through the series again, and have enjoyed watching Cletus episodes…especially since his recent untimely passing.

Roger I'm outta reactions. So... Here it is. 😲

Roger I knew. But everyone beat me to it. 😂

Hazzard life is a GREAT life!!

It appears in the dialogue too. In 'The Return of the Mean Green Machine', Vance says "See if you can get up broadside, close as you can." and Coy replies "Aye, aye, skipper." Skipper Ward Surplus was a nod to Skip Ward who was associate producer/producer/supervising producer on 116 episodes (I'm sure I've mentioned this before).

Julie was asleep and Bo whispers in Lizzy ear what happened and he afterwards says "Don't be mad if we was a ship she would've snuck it allreadry Lizzy." Cue LizzyJackson-Davenport

Daisy holds back a giggle and looks at Julie. Cue anyone.

Bo says "I think somebody should go to sleep and keep her eyes off of Tom now." Cue LizzyJackson-Davenport

"Ex-cuse me?" Tom says offended by Julie's statement. Cue anyone.

Julie says "Well bye then." Bo says "Julie Ann Duke are you flirting with Tom just now!" Julie says "Listen I'm sick not dead!" Cue LizzyJackson-Davenport

Kenny's version isn't the original, although it is the version I like best. Ol' Red was written by James "Bo" Bohon, Don Goodman, and Mark Sherrill, and first recorded by George Jones in 1990. Kenny's version came out in 1993 and Blake's version in 2001.
