Oh my goodness! How did I miss this? You have done a lot to help me Hoss but this ranks up there toward the top of the list. Thank you so much! I can see the list isn't complete but it's a great place to start.
BTW, top on the list is still the picture of Charlie Daniels at the Duke farm.
Hmm, do you think there were only 3 episodes where Emma rode a dirt bike? Seems like there should be more but I wouldn't be surprised if there's not. Thank you so much Hoss. You are the most helpful person on the internet. I just got done watching "Along Came a Duke". I love the dirt bike episodes.
Hoss is good with that stuff. He'll know.
This might be too tough for Hoss but I'll ask anyways. Miz Tisdale's dirt bike first appeared in Double Dukes of season 4 (I think). In what other episodes did she ride it? Can anybody remember what ep Jesse rode in a sidecar with her?
Cletus was introduced in season 1 as Boss's cousin in Money to Burn.
In "Road Pirates" of season 2 Cletus mentioned his mama. Mentioned her again in season 4.
In "Enos Strate to the Top" of season 3 Cletus was called Boss's 3rd cousin twice removed. (It might have been Hazzardville Horror. I have it marked down as the second episode but I don't know if I counted Carnival of Thrills as one episode or 2).
Hughie showed up in Arrest Jesse Duke in season 2.
Jamie Lee Hogg showed up in the first ep of season 4 as Boss's nephew....Boss's baby brother's boy.
Season 6 said Dewey is Hughie's older brother.
As I recall, Boss's twin Abe didn't have kids. Is that right?
There wasn't any family info given when Boss's big daddy showed up.
Silas Hogg was Boss's uncle and like a second father to Jesse.
Boss's cousin is Big Dan Hogg of Rapaho County.
Boss and Abe were born April 6 1926.
But none of this answers Skipper's question.
I bet they have lost a lot of fans because of it. But, like with all big businesses, it's a numbers game. If you gain more than you lose, you will make changes.
