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.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news Joseph but I haven't been doing fan of the month anymore since there haven't been as many people logging in. I like the idea of starting it up again so maybe I could do a few starting on May 1. Unfortunately you haven't been on very long and only have 7 posts so if I start it up again you would not get it before other people. If you stay around as an active member I see a fan of the month award in your future in late summer. I hope you'll be around for a long time. You are a great Dukes fan and we enjoy having you here.

Money to Burn -- Every year Boss sends a million dollars in beat up dollar bills to have them replaced with new bills. He hates the idea of destroying money so he schemes up a plan to have his cake and eat it too. The plan really excites him when he realizes he can frame the Duke boys and get them thrown in jail while he's making a million dollars. -- There is a great chase scene to start things off. The General is going over some pretty big rocks in a creek before Enos gives up the pursuit. -- This is Cletus's first appearance in the series. He is the driver for Boss's Hazzard County Armored Car Company. -- From a distance the Duke boys hear an explosion when Cletus is attempting to blow up phone books disguised as a million dollars. Luke says "Are there any volcanos in Hazzard County?" Bo responds, "Well, not since Mr Puckett blew his stack when I brought his daughter home two days late after the hayride." -- This was pretty funny: Daisy tricked Rosco and Enos into chasing her in the General by wearing Bo's helmet. When they caught her Rosco said "I thought you were that no account Bo Duke". Daisy responded "Well, if you can't tell the difference between me and Bo, either you're losing your eyesight or I'm losing my figure." Enos chimed in, "You ain't losing nothing. Now, I got 20, 20, 20,20 vision." -- I loved it when Jesse was on the CB and told the boys "It looks like you might pull this off, God willing." Bo responded "With you and Him on our side, how can we lose?" -- What a great episode. It has a lot of twists in it and a fantastic ending that will sure surprise anybody who has never seen it before. The writers outdid themselves with this one.

Hey Bo, if you have time today after working on the farm, chasing women, fixing cars, running from the law, having donuts and beer at Cooter's garage, straightening the curves and flattening the hills, join us at the Boar's Nest for a buttermilk. 60 is kind of a big deal. Happy Birthday Cousin.

I've gotten so mad at video games before that I quit. Most of the time you cool off and come back the next day but sometimes it can last permanently. I'm not much of a gamer though. The new ones are just too complicated for a simplistic guy like me.

ROFL....If it helps, have her sign up for the HazzardNet. That way every time you're watching an episode she can log in and yell at me. That way we're all happy. You're happy because you're watching Dukes. I'm happy because I helped you watch Dukes. She's happy because she gets to blow off steam to the guy that started all the trouble.

To quote Rocky's manager Mickey when they unveiled the Philadelphia Rocky statue in Rocky III..."A definite ting ah beauty!"

Of course you have to be talented as well. That leaves me out.

Y Sorry but he is not on the HazzardNet. There used to be stars from the show on here....I'm not sure which ones. When I started Rosco was the only one still around. Meadowmufn would know who else has been here.

Wednesday is going to be a big one for Bo....60 years old! One of his fans, yours truly, turns 60 just 7 days later. His Uncle Jesse turns 100 next month.
