Hello folks, First off let me introduce my self. My screenname is Good_News_Good_News......but it's pronounced..... Gooooooooood kneeeews......Goooooooood Kneeeeeeeeeews! I'm a fly fishing guide here in east TN that was 7 when the Dukes originaly hit the air. I never missed an episode when I was a kid, and I've watched them every time thery've hit the air over the years. First reruns I remember airing were on WGN out of Chicago. Then TNT/Spike, and now CMT. These days, when I'm not on the water fishing or taking clients fishing, myself and my son of 10months love watching the Dukes. As you can probably tell, Roscoe is probably my favorite character. He and Boss Hogg were so funny, and if you ask me.....they were very talented actors (James and Sorrell that is). I also loved our heros with Bo being the favorite of course, and Daisy always on my mind. However, the laughs I get from Roscoe and his scenes with Boss......They just always tickle me. Like a scene with Bo and Luke dashing out of the courthouse making and escape, Bo goes flying over the hood of the general like a New York Yankee into second base, his slide so smooth, and he and Luke are off. Out of the courthouse comes Roscoe yelling "FFFFFRRREEEEEEEEEZZZE! He takes to the air to make his killer hood slide manuever, only to catch his foot on the fender.....and he goes flying over the hood head first an into the road and oncoming traffic! ROTFLMAO Man they are funny. However, James and Sorrell both actually brought tears to my eyes in several episodes, showing the loving hearts of both characters. When Roscoe had to tell Jesse that the boys had drown. Now that was sad and you could really feel the pain in Roscoes heart. Well blah blah blah, this is probably boring you all to death. Let me get on with my questions. 1. How many episodes did James Best not act in, and who played the replacement? I've seen a few and each of them have had different "guest" sherriff. 2. How many episodes was Huey Hogg in, and we're they in several close seasons or spaced out over the entire run? 3. Overall, how many episodes did Coy and Vance appear, and did they ever appear in any episodes with Bo and Luke ? 4. How many shows did Cooter sit out, due to contract blah blah? 5. Noteable guest appearance happend often with the celebrity speed trap, but how many other notable actors appeared as henchmen characters. I noticed Robert Stack in an episode, also Richard Mull (Bull from nightcourt) was a reacurring character as one of the Baudry's. I suppose that's enough for now. Gueeet Gueeet Gueeet......and I'm out!
