James Best / Rosco P. Coltrane

http://www.dixiefilmfest.com/ Oooooooo =)

How refreshing to look at the TV/Entertainment section of my local newspaper on Saturday and see a blurb (with picture!) about how James Best will be getting the Harvey Award from the Jimmy Stewart museum. Unfortunately no pic with the Yahoo link, but.... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060811/ap_en_tv/people_james_best Congrats Jimmie!

Ok I was just wondering what that ment... I think I have the idea but I am only 50% sure on it. (Im having a Rosco moment)

Anyone know? or can post some? I'd really like it if so...

I like when he thinks Luke is Enos in that one vehicle in "Route 7-11. Roscoe:"Enos, would you quit making those weird sounds and talk regular english?"

When my dad was seven his mother died and she left my dad, and his brother and baby sister.(She was only eight months old). My grandfather was a alcohic as well, and when my dad and his brother was six they was sent to Richmond, Indiana to the Worley Children's home to live and they stay there till they was eighteen and sixteen years old.

I just have bought a dollar copy of "Bad Man of Deadwood" and at first I didn't see James in the movie. But he is Newspaper publisher and he has a mustache, he is quite handsome in the movie don't forget he was a great deal younger than when he started on Dukes.

I just watched "Last of the Bad Men", it was a pretty good movie for bein' so old. Jimmie was in it alot too, that's why I even watched it in the first place, He was the young kid that had never killed anyone, and he was always nervouse.But in one part of the movie he sang and played his guitar, he's a real good singer. But the worst part was when he finally got the courage to leave the outfit of outlaws and when he went to the Marshall, who was in on everything the outlaws were doin' , and the Marshall shot him. It sucked...plain and simple. Almost every other movie Ihave seen him in he gets kille, ex: Shenandoa when he plays Carter the confederate solider and he is figh…

OK, heres a place to give it up for Rosco. Anything that you thought was good of him or that he did well..... For me, I'd like to say Way to go Rosco for: Never giving up being smart enough to make all those contraptions and inventions to get the boys, They were awsome and smart, but never worked. (thats ok) these things don't need to have worked, just something you think Rosco should get props for.... since he never got it from Boss, or anyone else for that matter.

Does anyone here happen to know of a site where I can grab a few wavs from the show, particularly Roscoe's laugh and other various phrases? I've been less than successful so far in my searches.

One of Rosco's famous lines is, "Shame, shame, everyone knows your name." Does he say this line in either of the first two seasons? I don't recall hearing it when I watched the DVD.

Today is James Best's b-day! Happy Birthday Jimmie!

Tomorrow Mr. Best will be 79 years old.

she was in the ep THE RETURN OF HUGHIE HOGG and her name was Hortense Up until that ep the only sister he talked about was Lulu

Is James Best and David Hasselhoff related by some chance because they kind of look alike or maybe it just me? They both have that dark hair, and I have seen movies and tv shows where is show James Best pre-Dukes era. Well , certainly before 1979 and when he was in "Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair" he gives a great one-liner to the lady that is talking to him after church. Before I bought that movie I had never seen James Best being a Smart aleck in anything else much before that. But James Best when he was young was very good looking and he had that smile , and probaly our grandmothers went to see his movies when he was younger. Oh, I like his role in Hooper and that Hat i…

Jim's performance on the CMT awards tonight was a hoot! You could tell the fans really took to him doing the Rosco character. I laughed my posterior off!!!

I remember it like it was yesterday...hmm...maybe it was yesterday... nevermind...just kidding. I am now living in Hawaii, but I was a resident of Chuluota, Florida for about 6 months. During that time, I met a lot of wonderful people. One day my Landlady dragged me to the Taste of Oviedo fair. Not having much money, I was kinda reluctant to go, but she told me it would be fun. I agreed and accompanied her up past the food booths and back down. I had $15.00 in my wallet, but told her I only had $5. So we separated and agreed to meet in half an hour near the entrance. It was a hot summer day in Florida and I wandered around for a bit and I came across a large selecti…
