You're welcome! It is great to see the three of them having so much fun together after all this time - they're all so charming and funny and they clearly get along so well, it's heartwarming to see :). They way they all teased each other was fun

I thought folks might be interested in this video Q&A from Dallas Comic-Con 2016 with Tom Wopat, Catherine Bach and John Schneider. It's almost 50 minutes long and I thought it was pretty fun even if some people got sidetracked by Smallville questions, heh. The video is here. Enjoy!

I Don't Understand the Negative Coy/Vance Attitude
auster replied to fairmont83's topic in General Discussion
But the ratings did drop when Coy and Vance replaced Bo and Luke, and the show never really recovered from that. The General was a big, important part of the show, but I'd argue that the real magic was Bo + Luke + the General and everything that deviated from that was just... inferior. I agree with whomever mentioned that Coy and Vance would've had a warmer welcome had they been their own characters instead of carbon copies Bo and Luke. And although I find it jarring, I understand why the powers that be let them drive in the General. -

Got another one. In Repo Men, after Ace (the second-hand car dealer) has set the boys up to be killed by the guys they're supposed to repossess the Rolls Royce from. The scene opens with Ace polishing one of his cars when he sees the General Lee coming and tries to run, but winds up locking himself in one of his cars. The boys climb out of the General, Luke with a blinkin' chainsaw (hee!) and Bo with a bow and arrow. Ace gets -- understandably -- nervous and starts babbling about him givin' up, as Bo systematically shoots out the tires of the car Ace's hiding in. Bo: "You can give up yet, Ace, we ain't done yet!" Luke: "And when [bo]'s done, I'm gonna saw this car in half." (dialogue paraphrased, but pretty close, I think) I love that scene. One does not mess with the Dukeboys. (And thanks to everyone participating in this thread for posting their favorite scenes!)

Got another one. In "The Late J.D. Hogg", Rosco tells Cletus to hold up the boys while he executes one of his plans (or something. Rather vague on the details, sorry). So Cletus stops them and demands they let him inspect the General Lee from top to bottom. And at one point, when the boys attempt to escape, Cletus is under the hood of the General while Bo is starting the engine. Cletus: "Where's the dipstick?" Bo: "You're under the hood, Cletus!" The funny of this scene is all in John Schneider's delivery; Bo sounds so unmitigatedly gleeful. I giggle every time I think of it

We already have a favorite quotes thread, a favorite episode thread, a favorite character thread, so I figured this one wouldn't be too out of place . Which DOH scene have you seen more times than you'd care to admit? A cool General Lee jump? An awesome fight? Come on, share! I'll go first. I'm very fond of the scene in High Octane where Enos is trying to lock up Agent Huntley, Luke smashes the bottle of "shine" (which is actually water) on the floor, and Bo lights up a match and threatens to blow them all to kingdom come. I don't even quite know why I like that bit so much, but I do. Another favorite moment of mine are the utterly non-plussed faces of Bo and Luke when they see Cooter driving Limo One behind them in Limo One is Missing. I like that one because it's funny So, what are yours?

Why are people so hard on Coy and Vance?
auster replied to LuvJessInDaisyDukes's topic in General Discussion
To me, it's extremely jarring to see either Coy or Vance in the General Lee. It's not their car! Get out of there! -
