Nothing slips by Hoss. He has the eyes of an eagle and the brain of an Einstein. I was happy to see these pictures of "The Days of Shine and Roses" since I just posted a review on that episode yesterday.

Days of Shine and Roses....season 2 -- I think I'll start putting the season on here after the episode name. That way if somebody watches an ep in the future and wants to quote me and add comments on this thread it will be easier to find the ep. -- Tempers start to fly between Jesse and Boss at the 32nd annual Ridge Runner's Reunion. After Bo made a comment the next thing you know Boss and Jesse are challenging themselves to a ridge running race and Luke said to Bo "Cousin, you just started World War III." During the race Jesse finds out that Boss's henchmen switched the water in Jesse's trunk for moonshine. To make matters worse, he's heading out of Hazzard County and into a Choctaw County roadblock. -- I absolutely loved the old black and white film of Jesse and Boss. I don't know how they made it but it is one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. Even Bo and Luke wore ties to the reunion. It shows you how much they respected their elders. -- Jesse's Black Tillie vs Boss's Grey Ghost...for car fans back then, seeing a Mustang vs Camaro race was epic....especially for a Mustang owner like me to see Jesse's Mustang win. -- It looks like we have another out of town sheriff named Emmitt. This time it's Choctaw County Sheriff Emmitt "Spike" Loomis. (I live in Erie County Pennsylvania and our sheriff is Sheriff Loomis! Thankfully he's never pulled off any of my car parts) -- When Jesse was practicing and tearing through the Duke's field Waylon said something I can relate to. "Ain't it funny how the most mature man can be turned into a little boy if you give him the right toy." lol That reminded me of a saying I read a few years ago "You're only young once but you can be immature forever." -- I loved the old truck that the bad guys drove when they switched the water into shine. I had a 1963 Ford that looked just like it except it had a wood bed and a lift kit. -- This episode is a blast. What a great way to start what many Dukes fans would call the greatest season of all. The show had hit it's stride in season 2 and at this point was destined to become the greatest TV show in history.

Sorry to hear that Spike. I think I've only ever been to Bob Evans once.

10-4 breaker, you got Jesse Duke here. My 10-20 is out in the corn field gittin' ready fer the spring plowing. It's a little too wet today. Old Maudeen would likely get stuck.

True, but I've seen every Dukes episode several times. Life doesn't get more exciting than that.

Happy Easter everybody. Since my wife works in an intensive care unit of a hospital and could potentially be a carrier, we are being pretty strict about avoiding people. It will be a really strange Easter without family. I guess I'll have to drown my sorrows by eating extra chocolate.

Thanks Hoss. He was indeed a legend.

Double Sting -- Two guys come into town in an RV and rob the bank with Laurel and Hardy masks on. Before that their partner faked the plague and got the 3 Duke men, the law and Boss quarantined by Doc Petticord. Daisy hopped on top of the RV and before you know it was being held hostage. -- We started out with the General Lee's headlights on running down the highway. Yes, I said headlights! -- When Jesse bailed the boys out after a bar fight he said "I want to thank you boys for making my sunset years so stimulating." -- Hoss recently posted a picture of Doc Petticord walking away with a posted Quarantined sign. It might be in the coronavirus thread....which leads to another Jesse quote "One thing about a crisis, you sure learn what ain't important." -- We get to meet Sheriff Emmitt Hammerhand Ragsdale of Choctaw County. -- And we get to see the most famous jump in Hazzard history. Ragsdale does it right after the Dukes and then Rosco runs him him off the road causing him to flip over. Ragsdale gets out and says to Rosco "Your driving is substandard." Rosco responds "I didn't turn over." -- I couldn't believe how easy it was for the bad guy (plague faker) to steal the General. How could Bo and Luke be so dumb to just not pay attention? He then drove it to the bank robber's hide-out where Daisy was kidnapped. Hey....Cooter was hidden in the General's trunk! They wanted the bad guy to steal it...clever. --- great job by Arte Johnson and Avery Schreiber of playing the bank robbers. And what a fantastic episode to end season one.

My wife was watching an older movie called "She's All That" with Freddie Prinze Jr in it when she called me in the room after hitting the pause button. Halfway through the movie Freddie walks in his girlfriend's house and her brother has a plastic Dukes of Hazzard cup from 1981 on the table. My wife recognized it right away since I have the same one on my dresser so of course I grabbed it and held it up to the screen beside it. It's always so cool when something related to Dukes pops up when you weren't expecting it.

Congratulation! 8 years....what a great accomplishment!

We haven't had any price gouging problems in Pennsylvania. I think we have laws but I'm not sure. At least your gas is cheaper than ours. Last year we had the highest gas tax in the nation. I'm not sure if we still do...probably. Yesterday our governor announced all schools are officially closed for the school year. My grandson is a senior and won't have a graduation. That bothers me more than him....probably since he is my only biological grandchild.

My two favorites are What this World Needs Is a few More Rednecks and Simple Man. They are my number 2 and 3 all time favorite songs behind Hank Jr's Country Boy can Survive. Unless you count the theme to the Dukes as a song. That would be my number one.

Route 7-11 Jesse's old buddy Dewey Stovall losses money to a shady illegal mobile casino owner so Luke dreams up a scam to get it back. The boys take a job driving the 18-wheeler that the casino is located inside. The games are rigged but Luke rigs the rigging. That gives Jesse a chance to win Dewey's money back. -- We start right off with a roof cam on the General. I always back those up and watch again. -- The General was struggling at 150 mph so Cooter had to work on it. Can anybody remember if they ever said what its top speed was? -- One of the henchmen called the Duke boys hickabillies....nice combo. -- When Luke was being tested and backed up the big rig so fast that he squeeled tires Bo said "That looks like fun. Can I try it?" I always loved the Dukes confidence. It helped to make me a more confident person back then. --"In case you're wondering what's going on, well, so am I" --Waylon ..lol -- Jesse did a great job at playing dumb in the casino. Jesse "Im no good at dealing" Dealer "Just cut, my man" --When Boss's driver hit Rosco's car Boss said "How dare you leave your car where I'm going" -- I loved it when Jesse faded back to pass the purse full of cash. He positioned himself like a quarterback. --Dewey didn't learn his lesson. He headed right toward the next gambling hot spot at the end. Despite that disappointing scene it was a great episode.

Hey Hoss, Ray has a couple shows scheduled this summer. Catherine Bach and Tom Wopat will be at one. Can you post them here please?

If you don't hold it against me that I'm a northerner I won't hold it against you that you're a rocker!....just messing with you buddy. Charlie Daniels is my favorite and he can be a bit of a rocker....Southern rock that is.

And she's my all-time favorite female singer's sister....the Queen of Country Music....Loretta Lynn...who thinks the Duke boys are cute.

You've only gotten it once because we haven't been doing it but if it I would have kept up on them you'd have about a hundred.

It's snowing here right now and it's really starting to stick. It's been awhile since I've seen the white stuff. We've had a pretty mild winter.
