I sure have been hearing your name a lot on all these virus stories they have been doing on TV......Spike. My wife says their hospital is full so hopefully things will start to slow down.

It's a good thing the episode title didn't cause any international incidents. It was a sensitive time period back them. That would have been terrible if a Dukes of Hazzard cartoon would have triggered WW III.

The Dukes in Hollywood......season 7 A guy driving through Hazzard County stopped to take a log off the road and got attacked by two masked men. It turns out they were only actors from Hollywood filming a movie in Hazzard County. The big star is named Brock Curtis and the movie producer's name is Jason Dillard. Dillard is having serious money problems and since he has a 5 million dollar life insurance policy on Brock he is trying to kill him with the help of his assistant, Blake. They disabled the brakes on the car Brock hopped into and took off with, but thanks to the Dukes, the actor's life was saved. A helicopter filmed the unscripted rescue. Brock invites the 3 younger Dukes to Hollywood with their orange car. He wants them there for 2 weeks to be in his film.. A flirty Daisy likes the idea. Boss dresses up like Elton John and tells Dillard he wants him to make a film about his life. He wants Robert Redford to play him and Bo Derek to play Lulu. Rosco wants Burt Reynolds to play him. Boss forces the film-makers to let him and Rosco go to Hollywood because he claimed that they need to be the boys probation officers. After a Hollywood tour the Dukes, Boss, Rosco and Flash go to the studios where Blake makes another unsuccessful attempt on Brock's life. Boss and Rosco spent their time running from security guards who wanted to kick them out because Boss kept pestering people about a movie about his life. At one point, Boss put a frog head mask on and Rosco got in a gorilla suit to evade the guards. Jackie, the script girl told Bo about Dillard's financial troubles and after a search of his trailer and a phone call, the Dukes figured out what his murderous scheme was. Blake tried to kill the Dukes and after another attempt to kill Brock got caught after a car chase, ending near an active war movie set. Blake and Dillard were arrested and the Hazzard folks went home. -- Brock was played by Barry Van Dyke, the son of Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke. -- When Boss and Rosco crashed their bicycle into a harem set they thought they died and went to Heaven. -- When considering going to Hollywood, it was funny when Luke said "We ain't done no acting"

No More Mr. Nice Guy......season 7 The 4 Dukes head to the Capitol City Department Store because Daisy got a telegram saying she won a bunch of prizes for being the one millionth customer. When they arrive she receives a yellow classic Ford Mustang, fur coat, gold bracelet and 4 tickets to Mexico. Unfortunately, it's all a Boss Hogg scam. Senator Shaft is on his way to Hazzard to investigate a burglary ring and Boss gave Daisy stolen stuff to frame the Dukes. Boss's accomplices are Billie Jean, Stoney and Zack. Rosco arrested Daisy and Jesse but Bo and Luke got away. Boss had an accident with a skateboard and shopping cart and hit his head on the sidewalk and lost his memory. He turned into a nice guy and even freed Daisy and Jesse. Billie Jean and her thugs didn't believe Boss really lost his memory. Rosco hit Boss on the head and jarred his memory back. They tried to arrest Bo and Luke but they got away. Boss got kidnapped by the bad gang, receiving a hit on his head, losing his memory again. One of the thugs hit him in the car and he got it back once more. The 4 Dukes sprang to action to save Boss after the kidnappers called Enos to demand their stolen merchandise back. Enos teamed up with the Dukes just as the Senator was arriving. Rosco showed up and delivered the Mustang and stolen goods to the gang and they kidnapped him too. The Duke boys figured out where they were and rescued them from Stoney, while Daisy caught Billie Jean and Jesse caught Zack. The senator thanked the Dukes and Enos for stopping the burglary ring. -- Boss kept calling his sheriff Bosco. -- Stoney was played by former Oakland Raider NFL great John Matuszak. -- Classic scene when Rosco was in the Hazzard Hotel. He was looking for a diamond necklace Boss lost and wandered into a room where a big angry husband punched him. He went through a window, bounced off a trampoline into a dumpster. The truck driver then dumped the dumpster into his truck.

That is a good point Hoss. It must have been an error. They weren't shy about using other real places. The spelling hasn't changed since the early 80s has it?

The Dukes in Hong Kong Boss tricked the Dukes into thinking his Cadillac was out of commission so they would let their guard down. He had a hydra-boat rigged up under his car and took a shortcut through the water. Boss went to his acquaintance, Lo Phat Chow where he met pirate Captain Crikey. Boss made a deal with Crikey who sent his thugs to slow down the General Lee by capturing it in a giant net and putting the Dukes in cells on his ship, the Sea Scum. They escaped and swam to shore and got the General back. Crikey then took Boss, Rosco and Flash out to sea with intent to kill them. The Dukes rigged up a paddle/sail boat under the General. Just as Rosco and Boss were walking the plank above circling sharks, Flash hit a lever that sank the ship. The pirates swam to shore and the Dukes rescued Boss, Rosco and Flash.

The Dukes in Urbekistan In the middle of the Urbekistan wilderness, Coy, Vance and Daisy run across Debra Farr of London who is looking for her missing geologist father, who was last known to be searching for a legendary diamond mine in a valley. The area is so dangerous that even her guides ran away from the wild animals and men who dress like animals, known as the Urbeks. The Dukes found the mine with her, and inside, located her father, who had just dug up a basket full of diamonds. Boss and Rosco came in later and when the Urbeks showed up Boss ended up with the diamonds but lost them and the race around the world started up again.

The Dukes of India Boss called his friend the Grand Brazier and made a deal to slow down the Dukes so he could win the race. The Brazier hired guys to trap the General Lee in a tiger pit. Then we learn that Vance has a look-a-like, Prince Ahmad, they could pass for twins. Ahmad was due to be promoted to Sultan the next day and was the nephew of the Brazier. If he didn't show up for the ceremony, the Brazier was next in line to get his weight in jewels so the Brazier had Vance locked up, thinking it was Ahmad. Ahmad switched places with Vance but all 3 Dukes got caught and all 4 got locked up. Ahmad then used an elephant to free them all and they went to the ceremony. When they got there they found Boss disguised as the Brazier to get his weight in jewels. Boss and the Brazier didn't get away with their schemes. Ahmad ended up becoming Sultan.

The Greece Fleece While the Dukes were running out of gas on their way to Athens, Boss called an old friend of his, Big Nick Metropopolous. Nick was the boss of Gravias City. Nick used his lawman and framed the Dukes and threw them in jail. While the Dukes were escaping through the drain tunnels Boss and Nick were making another deal. Nick wanted to give Boss his niece's (Malina) dowery of gold coins in exchange for Boss marrying her. Boss agreed. The Dukes got recaptured and put back in jail. Malina came to see them and they told her Boss was already married. She didn't want to marry him anyways. Her true love was a man named Stavros. She helped the Dukes to break out and in the end, her and Stavros were the two that got married. -- I have to admit, this was an unusual plot for a kid's cartoon.

Robot P. Coltrane.......season 7 Two guys named Rance and Marv come through Hazzard with a delivery truck hauling a mysterious stolen item. The Duke boys helped Rosco catch them for speeding and he seized their truck and took it to Boss in town. When Boss forced them to show him the contents, out walked a robot and the first thing he did was light Boss's cigar. The robot's name is Bobby Joe and Rance was one of the engineers who developed him. He worked at Atlanta Robotics and had stolen the robot because he was fired and was planning on asking $200,000 for Bobby Joe's return. Boss bought the robot but Rance and Marv were planning on stealing him later. After the robot proved he could be a better sheriff than Rosco, Boss fired his human and put the sheriff's badge on Bobby Joe. The Duke boys found the bad guys hideout and grabbed the ransom note for evidence but got caught and tied up but eventually worked their way loose. Bobby Joe got the combination to the bank vault and Rance and Marv opened it and stole bags of cash while the robot pinned Rosco into the wall. Boss, Bo and Luke arrived at the bank and then the boys took off after the robbers. Jesse and Daisy freed Rosco by throwing water on Bobby Joe's circuits. The Duke boys caught the bad guys and Rosco and Enos arrested them. Rosco got his job back. -- According to David Hofstede's Unofficial Companion, Daisy and the robot were dating. Robert Shields was the actor in the suit and Catherine was dating him at time.

ROFL......ummmm.......woops! ROFL again. My mistake. In my defense, Flash was called a boy at first. I'm going to pay attention to see if Rosco is calling her a girl or not in these cartoons. Watching these cartoons is like watching them all over again since I don't remember too much about them. The Christmas one is the only one I remember well because I've seen it often. This London episode has been my favorite of the 6 I've seen so far. BTW Hoss, London Canada is just across Lake Erie from me.

The Dukes of London Boss and Rosco were stuck at a railroad crossing because a train had stopped. While there, Flash got out and met Regina, the Queen's Royal Bassett Hound. The two were look-a-likes and the next thing you know, Regina left with Rosco while Flash was left behind. The Dukes (of Hazzard that is) came along and picked Flash up but the Queen's assistant thought they had dognapped Regina and after a police chase they were caught and thrown in jail. Now, Flash was with the Queen and Regina was with Rosco but nobody knew the difference. Vance got one phone call in jail and called the Queen, who mistakenly thought he was a different kind of Duke and ordered the Dukes freed. Back at Buckingham Palace, Flash got away and the British press reported Regina was missing. Boss realized the dogs had been switched and called the Palace about a possible reward but while he was talking, Regina hopped in a double-decker bus and on the next stop, found Flash. The two jumped in a hot air balloon. Vance shot it down with an arrow and the two hounds ended up on a moving speed boat but Coy and Vance rescued them and then Flash and Regina were returned to their rightful owners. -- Hmmm, a sequel would have been nice.....a litter of puppies a few weeks later

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Duke.....season 7 A van hauling experimental, mind-altering medication developed by Dr. Debbie Davis of Genetic Research Incorporated is driving through Hazzard. It is on the way to Atlanta to destroy the medication because it has been determined that it is too dangerous. The van swerved to miss a vehicle and a vile popped out of the back and flew through the air and landed on a rock and into Hazzard Pond. Moments later, the General Lee came by. Bo, Luke and Daisy were on their way to the annual Hazzard Hayride and the General had radiator problems and needed water. While Luke was filling up his container he took a sip of the pond water and felt the chemical's effects immediately. He starts acting angry and the first person he insults is Bo. Meanwhile, two guys named Ben and Hurley open a savings account with Boss but are planning on robbing his bank later. Luke turns up the volume on his new-found badness, insulting everybody in sight. He then returns to the farm and insults Jesse too. Back in Atlanta they discover the missing vile but Debbie's boss, Mr. Adams orders her to keep the whole thing a secret to protect them and the company. Debbie is not comfortable with that. After terrorizing the citizens of Hazzard even more, Luke teams up with Ben and Hurley to be their wheelman for the robbery. They give him $500 for an incentive and he gives it to Bo for his half of the General Lee. Rosco found out about the upcoming robbery so Boss set up cameras to get Luke in trouble. The Dukes found the broken vile at the pond. They went to Atlanta and got no answers and broke in later that night. Debbie explained that the chemicals should wear off soon and Luke would recover. The Dukes figured out that Luke was in on a bank robbery plan so went to stop him but Jesse's truck got a flat. Enos came by and Bo jumped in with him and went to town but it was too late. The bank had been robbed and Boss had Ben, Hurley and Luke on tape. Rosco left for Atlanta to take the VHS to the FBI but Jesse and Daisy stopped him. While talking, Flash destroyed the tape when Rosco threw it in the back seat. Bo and Enos caught the robbers. Enos took Ben and Hurley into custody. Bo and Luke had a fight but the medicine wore off and that caused the fight and the episode to end. -- The wheelman's (who Luke replaced) name was Zeb but the credits listed him as Toby (unless I have him mixed up with someone else). His real name is James Bradford. Sounds like a job for detective Hoss. -- I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of this episode. Seeing Luke like that is not fun.

I just saw on the news that Erie County Pennsylvania reported 197 new cases today. We have had 9 days in a row of over 100. Before that we were averaging 20 or so. This is a pretty dramatic surge.

The Secret Satellite Coy, Vance and Daisy are in the Arctic, trailing Boss, Rosco and Flash in an icy snowy race. They caught up with them and they all heard on the radio that an American satellite had crashed nearby and there was a $100,000 reward for its return. An Eskimo boy named Kiko found it and Boss traded a bag of jelly beans for it. The Dukes then met Kiko and, after a blizzard hit, they ended up in his igloo for shelter and were then joined by Boss, Rosco and Flash. Russian operatives showed up and tied up everybody and took the satellite. The Dukes ended up getting it back but then Boss and Rosco stole it from them and also took the General Lee. When they ran out of gas, the Russians caught them but the Dukes and Kiko showed up on a dog sled and ended up with the satellite. The reward money was used to build a school for Kiko's poor village. -- This is episode #4 and the 01s on the General Lee's doors are still blue so I guess they will stay that way for all 20 episodes. -- When Boss gave the boy the jelly beans he said they were from the American President. At the time Ronald Reagan was in office and he loved jelly beans.

Our local news tonight interviewed the airport director and he said they will not even try to enforce the restrictions. I guess it's tough for the people in charge. Everybody criticizes and makes fun of your restrictions but if you don't make restrictions, people ask why you're not doing anything.

Since I had it in July I should be immune for awhile.....although they don't really know how long. The paranoid side of me would be a little concerned about possible long term side effects because new vaccines are always tested long term but this one won't because of all the pressure Big Pharma and politicians are facing. I have also heard that the movie "I am Legend" is something that is not all that unreasonable.

The problem is that was the microscopic little viruses don't have watches so don't know what time it is. How can you possibly obey a curfew if you don't even know the time? The latest proposal is to buy tiny watches for the little germs so they know when to stay away from humans. The latest plan is to poof 10 trillion digital dollars into existence out of nothingness (that our grandchildren will be responsible for) and use that money to fund development of watches small enough for them to read. The ten trillion is payable to the Hogg Micro Timepiece Company, Route 36, Hazzard County, Georgia. Hey, it's as good as plan as any.

So, when a vaccine comes out who here is going to get it right away and who is going to wait to see if there are side effects that weren't found in the earlier testing?

I was watching a Beverly Hillbillies episode earlier this year and the whole time the credits ran at the end there was a carton of Winstons in the corner for an advertisement. It was one of the old black and white BHs. Since it has been illegal to advertise cigarettes for 50 years or so I wondered if that was legal. I do wonder if they will make it legal to even show a cigarette on TV someday.

Welcome, Waylon Jennings......season 7 Waylon Jennings comes into Hazzard County driving a full sized semi that contains his mobile Country and Western museum with things more valuable to a redneck than the contents of King Tut's tomb. Two guys named Buddy and Jeb wave him down for an autograph but steal the museum and get away just before Bo and Luke arrive to untie Waylon. Buddy and Jeb were hired by Boss and they get away after the boys try to catch them. The boys go back to Waylon and before he can explain things, an exact replica of the museum comes around the corner. But, it's not a replica. It is the real museum and is driven by Betty Jo Page, hired by the insurance company to protect it. It was then explained that the first truck was a decoy just because it was possible something like this could happen. When Buddy and Jeb pull into the barn where Boss and Rosco are they are shocked that the truck was empty. Boss was planning on getting $100,000 from the insurance company for the return of the truck. Since he liked country music he would have felt guilty to ask for more, prompting Rosco to say "That probably is one of the most generous selfish things you have ever done." The truck went to town where Enos was assigned to guard it all night. Betty Jo started to suspect the Duke boys, especially after finding out they were on probation. At night, Buddy and Jeb knocked Enos out with chloroform and took the museum. In the morning Betty Jo put a bug on the General so she could follow it. Later, the boys found the decoy truck and Betty Jo found them so she definitely thought they were guilty. The boys then found the real museum but got caught and tied up by Buddy and Jeb. They got away when Rosco and Enos came to arrest them. Daisy found out that a ransom note for $100,00 was sent to Betty Jo. Her company wired the money to Boss and she went with him and Rosco to Eagle Rock Meadow to make the exchange. Bo, Luke and Waylon got there too but the bad guys got away with the money and the truck (museum not attached). Luke shot a dynamite arrow in front of them and a fistfight followed. 'Ole Waylon even got in on it. Buddy and Jeb got arrested and Waylon sang "Never Could Walk the Line" at the Boar's Nest. --Waylon even got to experience a jump in the General Lee. Moments later he got another one....over a raised drawbridge. -- The stuff in the museum was pretty cool, Hank Jr's steel guitar, Willie Nelson's cut off pig tail, Buddy Holly's motorcycle and, the latest addition, a picture of the Dukes with Waylon. --- What a great scene and story!....At the Duke farm, Waylon and Betty Jo sat down with the 4 Dukes for a meal. Waylon told the story of how his guitar was stolen just before his first professional gig. A stranger came along and helped him get another. That stranger was a feller named Jesse Duke --Does anybody know if the museum was footage of a real museum?
