The Dukes kind of have that timeless quality that The Andy Griffith Show had. And I think that both of them, AG already has been, will be around for a long time. For one thing, both of them are fun to watch. Nothing really bad happens and in the end the good guys win. I think a lot of people still like that, at least once in a while. Another thing is that the writers that made the show did a good job of not "dating" it. What I mean is that there isn't many references to things that happened during the time the show was made, so 30 years from now, it would appear, if you've never seen it, that it was just produced. Anyway, I guess long story short, as long as people keep remembering it, I don't care why! Yee Haw!
