And thank you for becoming our latest new cousin!

Good question. I didn't see that movie. I've seen all Arnold's tough guy movies though.....well, the older ones at least.

He was the 7 foot 3 inch tall guy on Opening Night at the Boar's Nest who kidnapped Boss to get revenge. His real name was Kevin Peter Hall. He was in the Bigfoot suit on the TV show Harry and the Hendersons and was the Predator in the Arnold Swartzenegger movie.

If I edit a post that is months old will if stay in the same place or will it move up to present time? I'm not sure if I will mess with season one. I was just thinking of making it consistent since my reviews evolved a bit.....plus I'm always looking for reasons to watch episodes!

I would have never guessed 287. Well, there wasn't a whole lot little about Little.

It will be interesting to see how California is going to handle the major league baseball season too.

Amen to that!

It sure is great to have you here CHARGER UK. Tell us more about your love of Dukes. How long have you been a fan? Favorite character, episode, season, scene, vehicle (I'm guessing a certain 1969 Charger by your screen name). I'm partial to Jesse's truck and Miz Tisdale's dirt bike myself. We sure hope you'll be a member of our family for a long time.

Cool! Sorry I missed it.

Definitely too much fun to call it work. I am considering redoing season one.....maybe after the holidays. I guess I can still do that, right Hoss? I'd just hit edit and erase everything and then restart from a blank page? Have we always been able to edit old posts? For some reason I thought we couldn't edit a post after it had reached a certain age.

Opening Night at the Boar's Nest......season 7 Lulu Hogg is in charge of the annual charity talent show. Bo, Luke and Daisy are driving down the road and practicing singing "Fox on the Run" while Coltrano the Great is practicing his magic act with his assistant Flasho. Meanwhile, Floyd Malone just got out of the state prison after spending three years there when Boss testified against him in a hijacking case. His brother Bubba picked him up in a stolen car and let Floyd drive and the brothers are planning revenge on Boss. The Duke boys got run off the road by Floyd but declined a fight after seeing that he was 7 foot, 3 inches tall. Moments later Floyd almost runs Boss over in town but the General Lee got in the way. The boys chased the Malones but they got away. Boss didn't want to be Rosco's assistant for the show because he had a big real estate deal to close but Lulu said she'd stop cooking for him if he didn't. The Dukes started the show by singing, then Coltrano the Great took the stage with his assistant JD HoggO the Round. He put Boss in a booth and made him disappear. Boss snuck through a trap door in the floor and snuck off to his real estate deal but was quickly gagged and kidnapped by the Malones. Rosco got upset when he couldn't make Boss reappear. Luke figured out who took Boss by noticing the massive footprints. The boys told Lulu and Rosco while Enos was singing, humming and whistling. Rosco didn't believe them but Lulu did and stopped the whole show. The bad guys went atop a cliff but changed their minds about killing him and decided to ask for a million dollars in ransom instead. Bubba called Lulu with instructions so Jesse drove the Cadillac with Lulu and threw a bag of money out while driving down a dirt road. Bo and Luke snuck into the bushes after hanging on the side of the car. The boys snuck in the back of Bubba's newly stolen pick-up truck when he was picking the bag up and went to the hideout where Boss and Floyd were. The boys were overpowered and Floyd shot Boss and the brothers got away. Thankfully, Boss got shot in his thick credit cards and the bullet didn't get through. Daisy showed up with the General and the 3 Dukes and Boss caught the Malones and handcuffed them. The Hazzard folks then went back to the Boar's Nest. They looked through a window and saw Rosco, still frantic and upset. Boss decided to sneak through the trap door and into the booth. The others walked in and encouraged an emotional Coltrano the Great to try again, JD HoggO the Round reappeared. The series ended with a group hug with the 4 Dukes, 2 Hoggs, Enos, Rosco and Cooter. -- Kevin Peter Hall (1955-1991) played Floyd. He really was 7' 3" tall. He played Bigfoot in the TV series Harry and the Hendersons and was also the Predator in the Schwarzenegger movie. -- The General had a great suspension system. 7 years of jumps and for some reason the writers decided that this last one should be the first one where a jump ever damaged it. -- I love the scene on stage where the 4 Dukes sang. The boys played guitars. Jesse played the moonshine jug. Cooter played the washboard.

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.
