.......and the ZERO one looks as good as ever!

I’ve never been a huge fan of the Coy & Vance episodes…nothing against Byron Cherry or the late Christopher Mayer, they did the best they could with what the situation was. But, they were just sadly part of one of the dumbest & worst decisions Warner Bros. television & CBS ever made. And, I’m sorry but…even their “yee haws!” were cringe-worthy. However, one episode of their 19 episode-run on the show really makes me shake my head…”Coy Meets Girl”. It guest stars a young Michele Greene, who just a few years later got her stardom as ‘Abigail Perkins’ on the legal drama L.A. Law. But, Greene looks 25 when I think she’s supposed to be around 16 in the episode, and the whole thing has a ridiculous rip-off of The Wizard of Oz vibe…with Greene running around in her ‘Dorothy’ dress, braided pig tails, and little dog companion—while the ’Wicked Witches’ of Hazzard (aka Boss & the hijackers) are out to get her. Sorry, but this was not the writers best effort for sure…even during the Coy & Vance time.

Monoco Man, YOU ARE SOOO RIGHT!! ( and I think most everybody feels the same way!) It should've been called " Strange Visitor To Hazzard: The Duke Boys Jump The Shark!! "

The alien episode is the WORST episode of the show…unbelievably stupid! Dukes was not a show where that kind of sci-fi crap belonged! Definitely probably the most embarrassing aspect of the show.

I totally agree. Though I didn't watch it until it was a rerun in the late 90s sometime. I don't think I've seen it since then. I do love the other cast, but it's not the same without Bo and Luke. And no one other than Bo and Luke should be driving the General Lee. LOL. I feel like that is how it goes in a lot of places where everyone tells the higher ups how it shouldn't be and then they don't listen, and it lands it their faces. Sad it happens like that. At least it onl.y lasted a season and Bo and Luke returned. Though if we are going to question the writer's abilities here...what about "Strange Visitor in Hazzard"? That is one Bo and Luke episode I can't do or will ever understand. LOL

I actually did watch most of those episodes when they originally aired, as a kid…as I was so upset about Bo & Luke leaving, but I still loved the rest of the cast & the General Lee. However, since then I’ve only watched them once—when Season 5 was first released to DVD. I’m currently going through the show again, and decided to watch the entire thing this time. I fully agree, that their acting & deliverance of lines was not great either…but, they tried to do what was asked & expected of them. Gy Waldron also said though, that everyone tried to tell Warner Bros. & CBS to not try and literally copy Bo & Luke. They were too “cemented” in everyone’s minds, and you couldn’t just replace them. The new cousins needed to be their own new thing. But, as usual the studio, network, and execs refused to listen (typical admin). They think they know everything, but in reality don’t have a clue. The only changes were…the dark headed one (Vance) wore the yellow shirt & the blonde one (Coy) wore the blue shirt. It was a sad time for DOH…but, somehow it got worked out, as I will never forget watching the episode when Bo & Luke return…one of the happiest moments of my childhood, lol, and one of my favorite episodes!

I think I've only watched that season once and that was enough. It wasn't the actors' fault...if they got characters that weren't suppose to resemble Bo and Luke and try to have them act like them...but had cousins who were their own person with their own characteristics and looks, it probably would have been easier to accept. Still not Bo and Luke, but better than trying to copy them as if fans wouldn't know the difference. Sad for the actors who were placed in that role...but I also felt they didn't do that well of a job either as they always seemed to be reading off their lines. But they did what they had to do to get through it. It was definitely a great breath of fresh air when Bo and Luke returned from the circuit.

Skipper got them both right and Hobie got Spike right. R.P Droopy Cathcarte is the Sheriff from Osage County. Here's an easy one for Skipper that is not a Dukes question...although Denver Pyle was in the episode. I just watched "Divorce, mountain style" from The Andy Griffith Show. Who played Charlene Darling's husband and what is he famous for?

Yes he is. A true fan and friend.

I agree. Ducattti has the name and the rep and will probably do well but it will take time!

Even after all these YEARS The Dukes Of Hazzard still holds up.

Definitely!! Keep us up on it! It looks great!!
