Hey Meadowmuffin, I think I figured out why you're going to flip out. You have 666 posts. Send one more thread and you'll feel better. I'm gone.

As you may know I'm new to using computers (I really am a redneck who lives like the Dukes minus the fast car). Before discovering the Hazzardnet on March 15, I never knew anybody who knew more about Hazzard County than myself. I now have to make the adjustment of realizing that there are other Hazzardites who know more than me. You two humbled me and I have since adjusted my attitude about being so smart. I appreciate that...but most of all I appreciate meeting folks like you who love Hazzard enough to care about things like that. This Hazzardnet is awesome and I thank everybody who is a part of it, especially those who began it. To me, the Dukes was never a fantasy, Hazzard is a way of life. I'm glad there's other people who know what it's like to feel that way. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

Enos was my favorite character the entire 7 years the series was out (I've recently switched to Uncle Jesse) so I loved the spinoff. The thing that would surprise most people about the show is how smart Enos was compared to how he was portrayed before moving to LA. Since I liked him so much it was awesome to see him get the respect I thought he deserved. He came across as a hick on the outside but a genius (in his own way) on the inside. He always managed to outdo those big city cops with his country boy common sense even though he was too humble to brag about his new found (thanks to the writers) smarts. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

Thanks Lukas. I checked some of these old threads and didn't see anything about it....would you know how I could find out where and when?

I am surprised at his remarks. Clearly Luke was always the one to bail everybody out with his brains and ability to make decisions under pressure. Without that, the show couldn't have existed or everybody else would have been in jail and Boss would have owned thefarm. Even considering how wise Uncle Jesse was, it was always Luke that solved the large majority of the problems. A good argument could be made that he was the most important character in the entire history of the show.

Yep, You're right. He did use the word "war". "Follow that Still" was a little less clear. Luke did mention that he was a vet but the term vet also applies to those who served in peactime. The memorial sign Boss dedicated did not state that it was only for wartime vets but since Boss said that it was a wartime memorial, that it also proof enough that Luke was stating he was in Vietnam. Good job you two. Would you like whip cream on that buttermilk? I'm gone.

You got me on that one. I feel embarrased that I'm relatively close and am complaining. It's not really the distance so much as the cost for me personally. I know that if Bo and Luke had to spend a lot on something they'd be looking for a plan B also. Them hillbilly boys is just like me, the'yre lucky to have 5 bucks in their wallet. "Everybody knows you Dukes is poor" (-Rosco)

To be honest, I wouldn't have raced either. I would have made an attempt to pass him (in a safe legal manner) just for fun, but if he would have accelerated, I would have chickened out at risk of hurting someone. It was nighttime out and that added to the danger. I posted the thread because I was curious what other people would have done. Thanks for your response. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

What a shame it couldn't have stayed in Georgia. The scenery there was unbelievable!!! Oh well, better to have moved to treeless California than not have filmed at all. Possum on a gumbush I'm gone.

If Uncle Jesse used the word "war" I guess I owe you that buttermilk. Coincidently, I've been watching the episodes in order and saw the Runaway tonight and am planning on seeing "Follow that Still" tomorrow. I'll see the hijack episode down the road but I'll take your word for it. Is buttermilk half price at the Boar's Nest during happy hour? See you then. I'm gone.

from "The Runaway" season 2 "Farmers is the backbone of this U S of A nation."

I love it when a plan comes together (or an April Fool's joke) but I pity the fool who thinks the A-Team is better that Dukes. I pity him.

You guys might have me on that but I'm still not convinced. I'm going to double check but I thought that in "Hijack" just the Marines were mentioned and not necessarily Vietnam. I don't remember the war being mentioned in "Follow that Still" but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. I do remember the line "Marines and moonshiners have a lot in common. We both don't stay in one place very long." If you guys are right and I'm wrong, I owe you a buttermilk at the Boar's Nest. Possum on a gumbush. I'm wrong....I mean, I'm gone.

Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it. If someone was expecting it to be like Dukes then they probably didn't like it since it was a totally different type of show. It was based in Los Angeles and Enos was a cop there for a year and used his country boy common sense and innocence to help solve big city crimes. He had a partner and boss that he drove crazy because they had never really met a redneck like him. Of course, Enos always caught the bad guy. As Waylon said "In Hazzard, we like happy endings." I guess the writers applied that to LA also. The only real similarities to Dukes and this spinoff show was Enos (of course) and the great car stunts so some people weren't crazy about it but most dedicated Dukes fans loved having another show related to the original. We missed Enos chasing them Duke boys and flirting with Daisy though. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

I met him on October 23, 1982 at a car show in Pennsylvania. There were two celebrities at that show. The other was a playboy playmate. Ben Jones' line was real long and it took an hour to get through it. The other "celebrity" didn't have a line at all!!! It was Cooter's (first?) wife's 30th birthday that day. He was awesome and, like you said, acted like a regular guy and not a celebrity....a typical southern gentleman good 'ole boy from Hazzard County. He might be crazy but he ain't dumb. I'm gone.

Please don't hate me. The Dukes are way down there in Dixie and I'm up north in Pennsylvania. I hope I don't get anybody mad with this suggestion. Has anybody thought of more than one Dukes Fest? I'm not proposing that us northern Dukes should have something as big as the real Dukes Fest. I'm not suggesting they be in competition or anything like that. I'm just wondering if a bunch of good 'ole boys (and girls) who live a long way from Dixie could get together someplace in this neck of the woods. In my heart, I've lived in Hazzard County since episode number one. It sure would be nice to meet other good folks who live there too without having to drive so far. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

Hey, it looks like these posts are all from last year...happy birthday this year too Lulu.

I've been wondering that myself. I hope you get a response but I bet they'd be hard to find. I'd sure like to get some episodes of the series "Enos" but it looks like those are tough to get too. Good luck.

I just watched Granny Annie on DVD (It's on CMT next week). Enos was awesome the way he befriended Annie when she went to prison. The part where he dances with her is classic Enos. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

Thanks for posting that. I have a collection of birthdays and he's not on it. Since Bo and Luke looked up to him so much, it's nice to add him to my list. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

Okay, I said this on another thread and I'll post it here too...concerning these new Dukes. WWJD? What would (Uncle) Jesse do? That's easy. He's turn off these new Dukes (They don't even deserve to be called Dukes) and put in a DVD of his real kinfolk. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

I'm glad I don't have to pick...that would be a tough decision. I mean that'd be like asking a guy, who's the hottest chick, Miz Tisdale, Swamp Molly, Cousin Alice, Granny Annie, Lulu Hogg or Rosco's Mama. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

Yea, they really slice them up to fit those extra commercials in. I guess that CMT has more commercials than CBS did in the late 70s, and 80s. The funny thing is that cable wasn't originally designed to have any commercials at all...you were supposed to be paying for the convience of not having to put up with them. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

Hey, I was in the Marines and I like to hug. Since the show never made any mention of Luke being a Vietnam vet (I doubt his character was old enough), I don't think the Marines changes you that much in peacetime. I agree that the writers stuck with consistency in the characters and since Bo is a younger, more outgoing and more huggable redneck that's what they went with...at least that's what I want to believe. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

I too worry about CMT pulling Dukes someday. I notice they have been pulling them a lot to replace them with stupid stuff but let's hope this isn't a warning that they're cooling off. Even though I have all seven years of DVDs, I'd rather put up with the comercials and watch them on CMT because I know that my Duke cousins are all out there watching the same episode at the same time. Let's hope CMT never does the unthinkable. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.
