  1. Just read on the 'Net that estimates show it should take in $30.6 million. I tried to go see it Friday night at the 9:40 showing here in town (Kingsport, TN), but all evening shows were sold out at the mall. Went to nearby city of Johnson City, and they were also sold out. I'm going to try and go in the next few days. -B.E.B.

  3. Interesting...thanks for the link! Probably won't put him in good company with Ben Jones or James Best... -Bart

  5. Loyal fans or not, the first movie apparently did enough box office $$$ to warrant a sequel. Point is, although the family was still stuck in the 70's, the "updates" to the plots weren't enough to destroy the original show. -B

  7. Yeah, I saw it. Taped it and watched it twice. As with most folks, I was skeptical about a Dukes movie. Not exactly on a list of things I though needed to be done. However, I actually got hooked when I saw the first trailer online. My first thoughts were, "This is going to be fun." Seeing the "Making of..." last night reinforced that. A lot of folks are saying that this is going to ruin the show and all that it stood for. Well, I have two things to say: "Brady Bunch Movie" and "Brady Bunch Movie part 2." In these, Greg has the hots for his sister (yeah, they aren't blood relatives, but still...) and he even kisses her. And then Marsha's female friend also has the hots for her. And you see Marsha undressing from behind a sheet. And let's not forget Katie Carry-All's (or whatever Cindy's doll's name was) underwear in the cake mix. You wouldn't have seen any of this on TV in 1970. And consider Carol's so-called ex-husband and his "mushrooms" that Alice found and put in his spaghetti sauce. Remember that scene? So, did these subplots ruin the original Brady Bunch show and what it stood for (whatever THAT was)? No! Did Nick at Night yank the reruns off the air because viewership plummeted (as some are saying will happen with CMT and The Dukes)? No! So lighten up, folks. As for all the original cast members not wanting to have anything to do with the moive (as someone has mentioned), I read elsewhere that John Schnieder was at the premier, and Tom Wopat even mentions the movie on his Web site and how it will help introduce a new generation to "The Dukes." -Bad Eye

  9. He wasn't portrayed as a womanizer for all 7 seasons, though. Point is, Boss Hogg and Roscoe may end up being more similar to the original characterization of their TV counterparts in those first few eps. B.E.B.
  10. 1. Ooops...Forgot Luke was in the Marines. 2. Well, SOMEBODY walked in on him. 3. I suppose... B.E.B.
  11. Much rather have CGI for some of the stunts than those lame cutaways to a toy General Lee and a miniature landscape set that anyone could build in their back yard. NBC used the same tactic with Knight Rider...the first few years, real cars were used for the jumps and other stunts, and then they went el-cheapo. B.E.B.
