Days of Shine and Roses....season 2
-- I think I'll start putting the season on here after the episode name. That way if somebody watches an ep in the future and wants to quote me and add comments on this thread it will be easier to find the ep.
-- Tempers start to fly between Jesse and Boss at the 32nd annual Ridge Runner's Reunion. After Bo made a comment the next thing you know Boss and Jesse are challenging themselves to a ridge running race and Luke said to Bo "Cousin, you just started World War III." During the race Jesse finds out that Boss's henchmen switched the water in Jesse's trunk for moonshine. To make matters worse, he's heading out of Hazzard County and into a Choctaw County roadblock.
-- I absolutely loved the old black and white film of Jesse and Boss. I don't know how they made it but it is one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. Even Bo and Luke wore ties to the reunion. It shows you how much they respected their elders.
-- Jesse's Black Tillie vs Boss's Grey Ghost...for car fans back then, seeing a Mustang vs Camaro race was epic....especially for a Mustang owner like me to see Jesse's Mustang win.
-- It looks like we have another out of town sheriff named Emmitt. This time it's Choctaw County Sheriff Emmitt "Spike" Loomis. (I live in Erie County Pennsylvania and our sheriff is Sheriff Loomis! Thankfully he's never pulled off any of my car parts)
-- When Jesse was practicing and tearing through the Duke's field Waylon said something I can relate to. "Ain't it funny how the most mature man can be turned into a little boy if you give him the right toy." lol That reminded me of a saying I read a few years ago "You're only young once but you can be immature forever."
-- I loved the old truck that the bad guys drove when they switched the water into shine. I had a 1963 Ford that looked just like it except it had a wood bed and a lift kit.
-- This episode is a blast. What a great way to start what many Dukes fans would call the greatest season of all. The show had hit it's stride in season 2 and at this point was destined to become the greatest TV show in history.
