hazzardboy7, We've had a few folks on here who's favorite character was Boss Hogg but I don't think any of them are actively posting now. It's nice to have someone here who holds Boss in such high regards. He was such a vital part of the show. So vital in fact, that the show's very existence depended on him. I never met Sorrell either but he was certainly an amazing man and an unbelievably talented actor. When you throw three veterans like Sorrell, Denver and James Best into something and combine them with three fresh exciting newcomers....add to that supporting actors like Ben Jones, Sonny Shroyer, Rick Hurst and Peggy Rae, almost any show could succeed. Dukes succeeded beyond any of the (so called) experts expectations because of Guy Waldron and all the writers, producers and stunt people....and it was the kind of entertainment people wanted. Because everybody loves the four members of the Duke family so much, we sometimes forget how vital Boss is to the show. Without him, it wouldn't have even existed. By the way, I bet another of your favorites episodes was "Baa Baa White Sheep"
