RogerDuke reacted to Skipper Duke in Saturday Morning Dukes Cartoon
Cousin Roger... Didn't he play in the Christmas movie Jingle All the Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Thanks. My favourite car is the General Lee. I've been a fan of the Dukes since the early 80's. My favourite character is probably Daisy.

Good question. I'm sure it's amazing 'cause everything he does is breathtaking but we'd sure like to see it.

Opening Night at the Boar's Nest......season 7
Lulu Hogg is in charge of the annual charity talent show. Bo, Luke and Daisy are driving down the road and practicing singing "Fox on the Run" while Coltrano the Great is practicing his magic act with his assistant Flasho. Meanwhile, Floyd Malone just got out of the state prison after spending three years there when Boss testified against him in a hijacking case. His brother Bubba picked him up in a stolen car and let Floyd drive and the brothers are planning revenge on Boss. The Duke boys got run off the road by Floyd but declined a fight after seeing that he was 7 foot, 3 inches tall. Moments later Floyd almost runs Boss over in town but the General Lee got in the way. The boys chased the Malones but they got away. Boss didn't want to be Rosco's assistant for the show because he had a big real estate deal to close but Lulu said she'd stop cooking for him if he didn't. The Dukes started the show by singing, then Coltrano the Great took the stage with his assistant JD HoggO the Round. He put Boss in a booth and made him disappear. Boss snuck through a trap door in the floor and snuck off to his real estate deal but was quickly gagged and kidnapped by the Malones. Rosco got upset when he couldn't make Boss reappear. Luke figured out who took Boss by noticing the massive footprints. The boys told Lulu and Rosco while Enos was singing, humming and whistling. Rosco didn't believe them but Lulu did and stopped the whole show. The bad guys went atop a cliff but changed their minds about killing him and decided to ask for a million dollars in ransom instead. Bubba called Lulu with instructions so Jesse drove the Cadillac with Lulu and threw a bag of money out while driving down a dirt road. Bo and Luke snuck into the bushes after hanging on the side of the car. The boys snuck in the back of Bubba's newly stolen pick-up truck when he was picking the bag up and went to the hideout where Boss and Floyd were. The boys were overpowered and Floyd shot Boss and the brothers got away. Thankfully, Boss got shot in his thick credit cards and the bullet didn't get through. Daisy showed up with the General and the 3 Dukes and Boss caught the Malones and handcuffed them. The Hazzard folks then went back to the Boar's Nest. They looked through a window and saw Rosco, still frantic and upset. Boss decided to sneak through the trap door and into the booth. The others walked in and encouraged an emotional Coltrano the Great to try again, JD HoggO the Round reappeared. The series ended with a group hug with the 4 Dukes, 2 Hoggs, Enos, Rosco and Cooter.
-- Kevin Peter Hall (1955-1991) played Floyd. He really was 7' 3" tall. He played Bigfoot in the TV series Harry and the Hendersons and was also the Predator in the Schwarzenegger movie.
-- The General had a great suspension system. 7 years of jumps and for some reason the writers decided that this last one should be the first one where a jump ever damaged it.
-- I love the scene on stage where the 4 Dukes sang. The boys played guitars. Jesse played the moonshine jug. Cooter played the washboard.

The Duke of London....
It sounds like a sequel just waiting to be written.

Definitely too much fun to call it work. I am considering redoing season one.....maybe after the holidays. I guess I can still do that, right Hoss? I'd just hit edit and erase everything and then restart from a blank page? Have we always been able to edit old posts? For some reason I thought we couldn't edit a post after it had reached a certain age.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes a wide view of the Boars Nest is what I'm after. I've found a few but they don't show the whole of it.

RogerDuke reacted to HossC in Uncle Jesse's episode reviews
Thanks, Skipper. It's Roger who's put in the work on this thread.
I wonder if John had any other story ideas that never got made. Maybe they got included in his later works such as "Collier & Co."

RogerDuke reacted to HossC in Uncle Jesse's episode reviews
'Opening Night at the Boar's Nest' was written and directed by John Schneider - his first credit in each category for the show and his career.
Thanks for writing these reviews, Roger. It's been a while since I've seen some of the later episodes, so these have acted as good reminders. It's also great to get a different viewpoint and add some background.

RogerDuke got a reaction from Skipper Duke in Bo's General Lee For Sale
I think I'm going to buy it. I guess I'll have to sell the farm though. You can live in a car but you can't drive a barn. Where's that title? I'm ready to sign.

It's funny how some shows have a big finale and others just finish. M*A*S*H and Cheers have the highest US ratings for their last shows, but I didn't expect Magnum to come in a #5 (see this list).
I can think of a couple of UK TV shows that didn't have a definitive ending, which always leaves the door open for another season or Christmas special. UK shows tend to have much shorter seasons compared to shows in the US, but often get an extended episode at Christmas which may or may not be part of the current season.

The cartoon reviews are complete - Roger finished them last week. There were only 20 episodes.

RogerDuke reacted to Spike in Uncle Jesse's episode reviews
It's unfortunate that they didn't know at the time that the show was going to be cancelled. Maybe if they did they would have changed the ending and had Daisy and Enos marry and gave the show a proper ending in the final episode.

I'm on Season 2 right now. I haven't watched recently because I have new shows airing on tv I've been watching plus work has been busy lately. I'm almost done with season 2 though, then it will be on to season 3.
