I think its a simple fact of this: Its not that we didnt like Coy and Vance, its the fact that nobody could really replace Bo and Luke, No matter what! They started the show, and it only seemed right they stayed until the end of the seventh season. The fact that they walked off and were replaced, only meant that the actors replacing Bo and Luke really could never replace them at all, and thats where they went wrong. So inspite of their acting, it wasnt the same, and Ratings went down when Coy and Vance walked on, because nobody wanted to watch them, only because it wasnt really 'The dukes oh hazzard" anymore, it was an attempted to make the best of a bad situation. But WE're glad they came back, and the Dukes Of Hazzard was once again the same.
