I'm so low-tech.....I don't even know what that is....lol

You are definitely into the heart of the series. At that point in time when the shows were originally airing it was so popular that attendance at Friday night high school football games dropped because folks loved Dukes so much they didn't want to miss the show. Of course there was no way to record it back then. Also, by that point in time, the General Lee had become the most recognizable car in the world, on the way to becoming the most famous car in the history of the world....a title it still holds today.

Enos and Daisy's Wedding......season 7 Boss has 4 bags of money sitting on his desk at the bank and the armored truck is late. He entrusted the money to Enos because he and Rosco had to go to Capitol City to close a big real estate deal. Two robbers named Slade and Jerry broke into the back door and surprised Enos when he was reading his Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes comic book. They forced Enos to carry the bags into their car. Daisy saw him with the bags and tried to be friendly but he told her he was busy. Enos drove away with Slade and Jerry hidden in the back seat and Daisy couldn't see them. The robbers dropped Enos off on a dirt road and got away. The Duke boys picked him up and chased the robbers but they got away. When Boss and Rosco got back to Hazzard they were with an insurance adjuster and when Daisy told them what she saw, they thought Enos stole the 4 bags. When the boys came back to town, Rosco arrested Enos based on what Daisy had said. The Dukes bailed him out later. A Deputy Attorney General (AG) came to town and wanted to come down hard on Enos because the Governor was running for re-election and wanted to use this case to prove he was tough on crime. The AG even pressured Daisy to stick with her story or face prosecution. Back at the farm Daisy got the idea to marry Enos since a wife doesn't have to testify against her husband. The 3 Duke men didn't like the idea but she proposed to Enos in a rowboat and he sealed the deal with a kiss. They went to the courthouse and told Boss, Rosco and Lulu, who were happy and excited. The bad guys and AG found out about the wedding and were upset. Jesse gave Daisy his bride's wedding dress, Daisy's Aunt Lavinia. Enos forgot the rings at the ceremony so Bo and Luke went to his apartment to get them but saw Jerry and Slade leaving right after planting stolen money there. They chased them and when the General's tire got shot out, made a pit stop in tuxedos. The AG interrupted the wedding and then found the planted money and put Enos back in jail. The boys caught up with the robbers and captured them and brought them to jail. The AG apologized and the wedding was back on. Jesse saw Daisy in the dress and emotionally stated "You look just like your Aunt Lavinia". Daisy went outside to see Enos but he had a bad case of hives and wanted to postpone the wedding so they went back in the Boar's Nest and made the announcement. Waylon concluded "As for Enos, now personally, I think that boy could use some help."

I have great TV memories with my grandparents too. Dukes came out when I was 19. I had just bought some land but was still living with my parents who were real close to my grandparents, just one house in between them. My grandparents had an antenna good enough to get CBS but my parents could only get NBC so I watched Dukes with them and always stayed another hour and watched Dallas. Great memories!

I'm surprised they were running it in the winter but as long as they haven't spread salt lately I suppose they will be fine.

The first time I heard you describe it this way I remember how much I liked hearing it expressed like that and I have often thought of you when I have taken trips to Hazzard County.

Intelligent alien life is a certainty so I'm going to draw the conclusion that Strange Visitor to Hazzard is most realistic episode in all 7 years of the series. The only thing that wasn't realistic is when L'il Cousin shot the pistol out of Buck's hand by shooting it with his laser beam eyes. Everybody knows that when an alien's laser beam eyes hit a pistol it makes more sparks than that. This was an embarrassing mistake by the writers.....worst blooper ever. Seriously though, I know what you mean Hobie. I actually enjoyed it a lot this time because I gave myself a little talk and told myself to not take it too seriously. Because I did that, I had fun.

Strange Visitor to Hazzard.....episode 7 Bo, Luke and Daisy are driving around Hazzard County when Elton Loggins of WHOGG did a special report on all the UFO sightings around lately. Bo and Luke don't believe it but Daisy thinks there is something to it. Before sunrise the next morning, Enos was close to a hovering spacecraft in Skunk Hollow but didn't notice the little alien that got left behind. He went to town and reported the sighting to everybody. Two guys named Mickey and Buck were laying low in Skunk Hollow because they had just robbed a church bingo game in Greenville. Daisy, Luke and Bo showed up near them to pick crabapples. The alien had the ability to transport himself instantly to a nearby spot and he poofed himself into the back seat of the General Lee. Boss and Rosco showed with intentions of turning Skunk Hollow into a money making UFO tourist attraction. Not knowing the alien was in the back seat, the Dukes took him home and befriended their new "L'il Cousin". Enos came to the farm and they introduced him and they tried to hide him when Boss and Rosco showed up but Flash's barking gave him away. He poofed into a tree and then into a patrol car and the Dukes had to save him when he drove away. Mickey and Buck then went to WHOGG and locked Elton, Boss, Rosco and Enos in a closet and broadcast on the radio that aliens were preparing to attack the town because they wanted to rob it blind when folks left. Bo, Luke and the alien went to the radio station and L'il Cousin got knocked out and stolen because the bad guys thought he was worth money. They locked Bo and Luke up too. Jesse and Daisy got there and let the 6 guys out and Elton got on the radio and explained everything. Bo and Luke rescued the alien after he used his laser beam eyes to stop the car. They took him to Skunk Hollow after sunset and his spaceship picked him up with the boys staring at the stars. The other showed up and waved goodbye. -- Mickey was played by Dennis Burkley. He was Bubba on "Find Loretta Lynn" -- The actor in the alien suit was Felix Silla. He was born in Italy and was a circus performer and, in addition to L'il Cousin, played another cousin, Cousin Itt on the Adams Family. -- in the back seat of the General Lee when it was flying through the air, Waylon said of the alien, "You gotta feel sorry for him. He figures the whole planet is like Hazzard"

When you Wish Upon a Hogg.....season 7 Hughie Hogg comes back to Hazzard and the episode begins with 8 quick different scenes of his past Hazzard misadventures. He now brings a pretty assistant named Trixie and two thugs named Barclay and Norris. The gang is planning on scamming Hughie's Uncle Boss and taking over Hazzard County. The first thing they do is put a gas cannister in the General Lee when Bo and Luke are on their way to fish and it puts him to sleep and then the thugs hauled them away, leaving the General there. Daisy found it and told Jesse on the CB. Hughie showed up to Boss and Rosco who gave him a hostile welcome. He put a bug in Boss's office and left a mysterious box with him for safekeeping. After opening it, Rosco convinced him it was Aladin's lamp and when Boss rubbed it, Trixie showed up through thick pink smoke dressed up like a genie. She granted his first wish of putting Bo and Luke in jail, thanks to Barclay and Norris sneaking their sleeping bodies there. Boss then wished for a barrel full of money and got a chest full. Bo and Luke escaped and caught a ride with Daisy and Jesse in his truck, jumping over a moving train to get away from the thugs. The Dukes then turned the tables and caught them and forced them to reveal Hughie's scam. Blinded by greed, Boss signed over everything he owned to get the lamp. The Dukes caught Trixie and forced her to tell Boss the scam but it was too late since he had already signed the papers. Hughie left for Capitol City to file the papers while his gang put Boss, Rosco and Daisy in jail after Daisy helped the boys get away. They jumped Willow Creek to get away from Barclay and Norris. They saved Hughie's life after his van teetered on a cliff and he froze in fear. Boss kicked the gang of 4 out of town but kept the lamp. The episode ended with smoke coming out of the lamp again.

I like my buttermilk shaken, not stirred.

The Haunting of JD Hogg......season 7 Boss's Uncle Silas died. He was like a second father to Jesse. Silas had named Boss the heir to his estate on a tape recording 15 years earlier but made a new will a month before he died, making Jesse the executor and directing him to give the money to charity. A crooked lawyer named Larson conspired with Boss to destroy the new will but at the reading Boss, Larson and Larson's thug named Sharp where surprised when Jesse announced he had a copy of the updated will. Boss and Larson pretended they didn't know about it. Sharp ran Bo, Luke and Jesse off the road when they were going to the farm to get it. They called Daisy and told her to pick it up but Boss and Rosco got there first and burned it back at the courthouse. Larson and Sharp went to Summerville to pick up the $100,000 in inheritance money that Larson and Boss were going to split 50-50 at Silas's house. Daisy tried to stop them but was caught and taken hostage. The 3 Duke men hired local ventriloquist Mr. Winkle to set up a voice device and radio controlled gadgets before Boss got to Silas's house. They made it look like the house was haunted and made it sound like Silas's ghost was there. Rosco showed up and both he and Boss became convinced the haunting was real. Boss was so traumatized that he agreed to give the money to charity and even add 10 grand. Larson and Sharp showed up with their hostage Daisy and the money but then left as soon as they found out Boss changed his mind. The 3 Dukes in the General.....and Boss, Rosco and Winkle in Rosco's car......went after them. In front of the Boar's Nest they tried to stop them with the old moonshine nutcracker. It was supposed to sandwich the car between theirs but didn't work. It did distract them enough for Daisy to stop them. Rosco arrested the bad guys and the money went to charity.

Post Office (I sure wish my mail carrier would ride wheelies)

It's great to have you here mopardan. We hope to hear a lot more from you. Do you have a favorite character, episode, scene, vehicle? How long have you been a fan? Do you have all 7 DVD seasons? I didn't like Dixie either when I first saw it. I eventually warmed up to it but it took me a long time.

I'll take you up on that some day.

Hey Skipper, I see you were just checking out the Trouble in Conyers thread. Did you notice Conyers is mentioned in Sky Bandits? Also, Cooter mentions Conyers in the episode Uncle Boss.

Sky Bandits over Hazzard......season 7 An armored truck carrying 3 million dollars in cash from Hazzard to the Federal Reserve in Atlanta gets stuck and Bo and Luke help it out. Enos saw the truck drive away and spoke to the boys briefly before they left. Moments later, a lady named Kate, flying a helicopter, dropped bags of motor oil on the truck windshield and when the driver stopped her accomplices kidnapped him and hooked the truck up to the chopper and Kate flew off. She meets her partners, Taylor, Budge and Cleary at their hideout, Boss's old ice house. Boss is pretty worried because "for the first time ever" he didn't spend the money to have the cash insured. When Boss and Rosco go looking for the truck, Enos tells them he saw the Duke boys with the it earlier so they throw the Dukes in jail. When the 4 robbers stole another truck Boss and Rosco realized the Dukes were innocent but they didn't tell them. They purposely let them escape, knowing they had the skills to catch the crooks and prove their innocence. Hazzard folks heard about the robbery and started a run on the bank because they were worried about their life savings, including Miz Tisdale who needed her money for her sister, Beulah Mae's operation. The robbers struck for a third time and this time Daisy was there and got taken hostage and tied up with the 3 truck drivers. The boys found Dixie and figured out that a helicopter was involved. They borrowed ultralights from their friend Vern in Conyers and searched from above while Jesse, Cooter, Boss and Rosco stuffed themselves in Jesse's truck and looked too. The boys found the hideout and the other 4 joined them there. The 6 Hazzard guys overpowered the 4 crooks and freed Daisy and the 3 drivers.

Amen to that Cousin Hobie. We sure are a big 'ole Hazzard family.

Sittin' Dukes......season 7 Two bad guys named Hixx and Benson broke out of the Chickasaw prison. Hixx has a pet cricket named Herman and Benson is always mean to Hixx and has a plan to get revenge on his superior in the US Marine Corps, a guy named Sergeant Luke Duke who once put him in the brig. The governor put Big Ed Little in charge of the hunt and gave him jurisdiction throughout the state, including Hazzard. In the morning the convicts came to the farm and held all 4 Dukes hostage. After the Dukes gave them food and civilian clothes Benson forced Luke to take him to town for guns and ammo. Enos stopped them at a roadblock and Benson said his name was Jack Parker. Later, Enos recognized him when Little brought pictures to Hazzard. Benson and Luke went back to the farm and Benson forced Daisy and Jesse to take a white delivery truck on the road as a decoy so the police helicopter and cars would go after them. The chopper shot the tires out and it crashed down a hill in a ball of flames but Jesse and Daisy got out first. The search then began for the General with the boys and bad guys in it. Rosco and Little put Jesse and Daisy in jail, accusing them of being the convicts' accomplices. The chopper found the General and Benson forced Luke to drive into a forest fire to evade it. Little then put Lulu and Cooter in jail for trying to break out Jesse and Daisy and then he put Boss and Rosco in jail for arguing about it. They weren't there long before Enos let them out. The General made it out of the fire and Benson wanted an unrecognizable vehicle so he carjacked a car. Hixx then turned on Benson and saved Luke's life. The two bad guys left in the carjacked car, with the General and helicopter in pursuit. Enos and the 6 freed prisoners joined in but before they could get there, Bo and Luke had the convicts captured after jumping the General on top of their moving car. -- The diet that Boss keeps cheating on is a big part of this episode. It includes the scene where he moves in fast motion to hide his food from Lulu. When she fed him a meal he said that it wasn't enough to fill a cavity in his tooth, let alone his stomach.

Hobie, Hoss and Spike are all correct. They could have done so much more with the cartoon series. I guess we should look at the bright side of it. At least they did 20 episodes. That's better than none. Back then, you knew a television show was in the big time whenever they made it into a cartoon. I had fun watching them again and I'm sorry my reviews are all over.......they will be a nice thing to have around here if anybody needed to look something up.

My wife just found out that the hospital where she works is going to quickly convert their intensive care unit to an all covid unit because they just can't handle all the cases anymore where they currently are. This means she is going to have to wear one of those space suits all day and most of her work days are 12 hour shifts. I keep encouraging her to check into retirement. She has 41 years there. She likes her job though.....but not lately as much as before covid.

My wife is pretty mad because Dish Network has a dispute with ABC and has dropped them, for the moment at least. She has loved General Hospital as long as I have loved Dukes. I bet all the satellite TV and cable companies will all go out of business because of the internet. Other things are fading away too because of the internet, like cab companies, libraries, banks, newspapers, movie theaters. If a solar storm ever takes out all our satellites, we'll go back to the Stone Age.
