  3. Cale Yarborough

    in Other Actors/The Townsfolk

    Posted

    I know Cale's death was posted in the NASCAR News section but it just seemed right to put it here too since this is his thread. What a sad day for NASCAR and for Hazzard County. He was Bo and Luke's favorite driver and it was so awesome to have him as the feature  character on 2 different episodes. We love you Cale and you will always be missed.

  7. Dukes Meet Bill Elliott

    in Role Playing - Original Characters

    Posted

    After all the corn dogs were quickly wolfed down and Jesse started to walk away, Bill called him over, talking loudly over the engine noise. Bill still didn't have his helmet on but he knew the race wouldn't start until he was ready. 

    "I just want to thank you Mr. Duke for your hospitality....and for your friendship. You and your family are a classic example of Southern hospitality and I'm honored to meet you all." 

    They smiled at each other and shook hands. Then Jesse's face turned serious, even a bit angry looking, even though he was faking it. "Don't get too used to it because in a few minutes we won't be friends. I will be cheering for the General Lee to beat you by a country mile." They both then smiled. 

    "Mr. Duke, I know this is a strange time to ask but why did you never have kids of your own?" 

    Jesse laughed "Well, Lavinia and I just decided that chasing those 3 around was more than enough. All 3 were a handful, especially Bo. Lavinia even nicknamed him Chase since she spent so much time chasing him around and watching him chase stuff around." 

    Bill laughed "Chase? Strange nickname but I kinda like it! Now if you excuse me sir I have a race to win." 

    Jesse laughed. "Ha! I should call you Chase since you are going to be the one chasing the General all race and eating his dust." 

    Bill returned the laugh and as he was putting his helmet on responded "We shall see sir. We shall see."

    Jesse wasn't on the crew and wasn't supposed to be getting  near the cars this close to the race start but that didn't concern him. He walked up to the General Lee, expecting to see his nephews behind the raised hood but it was only Bo. 

    Jesse caught the corner of Bo's eye immediately and he looked over at him. "Oh, hey there Uncle Jesse! I was beginning to worry you weren't going to make it. I thought you were going on a date with Miz Tisdale." Bo smiled like he had gotten away with something. 

    "Ha Ha. You are a funny one" responded Jesse. "Shouldn't you be focusing on the race instead of fantasizing about women. I'm starting to suspect you are the one with a crush on Emma. You are always joking about her." 

    Bo laughed and looked back at the engine, reaching his hand in and getting serious. "I am Uncle Jesse. I'm just making sure nobody has gotten under the hood and sabotaged the General. And right now Luke is getting some of Boss's overpriced corn dogs." 

    "Sabotaged!" said an alarmed Jesse. "Why, what happened?" 

    Bo responded quickly. "Don't worry Jesse. Nothing happened. I have no reason to suspect anything....."

    Jesse finished his nephew's sentence. ".....but it is Boss Hogg and big money is involved so better safe than sorry."

     

  12. Christmas 2023

    in Hazzard County Christmas

    Posted · Edited by RogerDuke

    We have Christmas threads for a lot of Christmases so I was a bit bothered that 2023 would go by without one in this section with the others . So, here I am singing Christmas carols all by myself. Can anybody hear me? Edit: I just noticed the other current Christmas thread is in the HazzardNet Family section. 

  21. Lack Of Female Main Characters

    Why not tweak the Dukes of Hazzard formula and have female versions of Bo and Luke Duke.  Just because the originals were men doesn't mean that a remake with women being the main characters wouldn't work.

    If having two women as the main characters in a show set in Hazzard County would bother some people, how about a new show with at least two female main characters, with the show being as light-hearted as "The Dukes of Hazzard" and set in a warm place.

    They could try that but even if it had very subtle ties to Dukes nobody would fund it. Hollywood is unforgiving and views the Dukes and Southern culture as evil and toxic. The bias against the South in Hollywood is terrible, despite how they virtue signal and claim to be diverse.

    And if there is a show set in Hazzard County that has more than one female character, and are not tokens, some conservatives will cry "Woke", especially if they are similar to Bo and Luke Duke in prominence.

    I don't believe that. If Daisy would have had a spin off show and was pursuing her singing career in Nashville with a bunch of female friends and few men were on the show, every Dukes fan would have loved it. Except for the fact Daisy was gone. Even then, I can say that I missed Enos being in Hazzard but didn't miss Enos. In fact I saw him even more because he got even more screen time with his own show. 

    But if you are referring to modern times, I know of no Dukes fan who would complain about wokeism....unless the show had a hidden agenda of bashing men and/or Southern culture. 

    Edit: just noticed you said "Hazzard County" and Nashville is not in Hazzard County so my example isn't good. But we could imagine Boss built a recording studio in Hazzard....nicer than the one in Daisy's Song...lol

  25. Trying to find an actress

    The actress was Lori Lethin who played Lori in 'Southern Comfurts'. Her line was, "Yeah, but necessity's the mother of intervention, ain't she?"

    Thanks Hoss. You always seem to come through. My wife and I were watching a modern Christmas movie and saw someone who looked like her. I can't believe that I couldn't remember that was Lori Comfurt....getting old I guess. I'm going to pull out that ep and show her. Thanks again.
