We love you MM and we're hoping and praying you get better. The June Fan of the Month Award is an easy one. Congratulations Meadowmufn. I believe this is the first time you've won it isn't it? Of course It's no secret that you should have been the Fan of the Month every month since you founded HazzardNet.
I know how you feel Dixie. It makes me sad that this old town isn't as busy as it used to be. I was just flipping though the first few pages of when the trivia thread started and missing the glory days and all my friends here who have left. I really don't want to join facebook but am seriously considering it. I'd only use it to talk to fellow Dukes fans. As much as I love HazzardNet and am still loyal to it I can't stand the silence anymore. It's just getting too painful.
It's been two and a half months since Susan logged in so I assume she is not going to finish this so I'll continue it myself unless anybody objects. I'm the type of person who doesn't like to leave something undone.
That makes me want to dig out his book and read it again. He sure is an interesting man who overcame some obstacles in life and through hard work and determination became a household word. Unless you're really young everybody knows who you're talking about when you say the name Cooter. The same could be said for all the main stars. The Dukes of Hazzard was so popular its mark on television will live on a long time. The best example of that is "Daisy Dukes". Today's teenagers might not recognize Catherine but they know what Daisy Dukes are.
It's good to hear from you Dixie. I've missed you. I'd be interested in doing a role play if you want to. Did you see you one I was doing with Susan? You could take over her spot if you want. I doubt she'll be back and I'd hate to see it go unfinished. Please keep posting. I still have hopes that folks will come back and get more involved again.
I'm not sure how many of the stars weren't happy with the move to California. I bet you're right about Ben. I'm sure Sonny liked Georgia better since he was from Valdosta. I remember an interview James Best gave where he wasn't happy with the move.
I get what you're saying but I'm fine with Kwanza. If anybody tried to take away Fourth of July because its offensive to British people or St Patrick's Day because it's offensive to folks who aren't Irish then I would be mad. People should be permitted to celebrate their culture as long as they don't take away somebody else's right to do the same. That's what was so outrageous about taking Dukes off the air. It took away the freedom of others to enjoy it.....especially innocent Dukes fans who did nothing wrong. I don't celebrate Kwanza because I don't want to. People who don't like the Dukes because of the flag should just not watch it if they don't want to. Taking freedom of choice away from the folks who wanted to see it was just plain wrong.
Comparing Hogan's Heroes with Dukes is something I hadn't heard before. It is a good comparison and makes a lot of sense. Many of the founding fathers in America owned slaves and nobody here is proposing that we rewrite history to boycott them and pretend they never existed. People are smart enough to consider the way the thought process of society at that time worked. After the South Carolina tragedy some people forgot that which caused the knee jerk reaction to happened. It looks like we are returning to sanity and society is once again learning that the Dukes of Hazzard is good. Things like this move slow but at least we appear to be heading back to the right direction.
