Hey Redneck girl 01 - thanks for the messages! I enjoy reading it. Sounds like you had a great time. I know what you mean about country not being country any more. It is sad to hear that they would follow suit with the younger artists of today, but I think that is what they need to do if they want playing time or to survive in Nashville...sadly as it is. They told Alan Jackson when he first came to Nashville twenty or so years ago, that he was 'too country'. Imagine that. Anyways, I really miss some of the country artists that seem to have gotten shoved out of the way. Like Dwight Yoakam, Clint Black, Mark Chestnutt and so forth. They should have two categories for Country, alternative Country and just plain country.

Very true - how can you go wrong watching any episode of the Dukes? I know I do the same when I do watch my DVDs and mostly they are the same episodes that I pick out in the past. I have seen "One Armed Bandits" so many times that I can pretty much say word for word what is to say once I put that episode in. Probably about the same with the other favorites that I put in, but not as much as that episode for some reason.

LOL Roger! You have me laughing just thinking of the scene that you are talking about! What a great scene/tactic to break up the tension and anger that had grown between Luke and Bo at that time. It even had Luke laughing after awhile! You gotta love ol' Uncle Jesse - he always knew the right things to say and do when it is needed the most! Thank-you Roger for bringing that up, I needed the laugh today.

Toby Keith Alan Jackson Keith Urban Kenny Chesney Tim McGraw Brooks n Dunn Those are my favorite six country singers in about that order, but it all depends on the mood that I am in as of who I want to listen to and so on.

Nah, DaisyxEnos, I wouldn't consider it a bad thing at all! I've done the same as you by placing a favorite episode in without watching the others before it. As I stated earlier in this thread, I've got all the seasons on DVD, but have only seen a few episodes from them...very sad, I know. I wish I could find the time in my schedule, and to stick with it, to watch an episode a day - that might even be the trick to waking up my stubborn muse that refuses to work with me. Anyway...I think you've done fine Daisy.

I have to agree. I like the first five episodes that they aired in Georgia the best. High Octane was a good episode in that bunch, liked "Daisy's Song" just because it was something different - out of Hazzard and different clothes for the boys. Or "Swamp Molly" was fun to watch as well. Though the first five eps are my favorite in general, I would have to say that "Ghost of General Lee" is my all time favorite just for all the emotion that is in the episode. "Ten million dollar Sheriff" is another because it was then when I started to watch the Dukes on TNN - it was the second part of the episode (I can even remember the scene I turned it on to...odd I know). Or "Carnival of Thrills" for the emotion between in that one, but I do hate to see the boys fighting, really enjoyed the end of that episode. That is just to name a few...any episode with Bo and Luke is great by me. Especially with Rosco, Enos, and Cooter in them as well. You can never replace the originals...though I did really enjoy the episodes with LB Davenport in them. Was sad to see him leave and glad to see Cooter back - too bad Hazzard couldn't have two mechanics.

Latest Update on Al Wyatt, Jr.
Garrett Duke replied to John's No 1 Fan's topic in General Discussion
That is great news! Thank-you John's No 1 Fan, for keeping us informed on Al's conditions. He will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Am so glad that things are beginning to look positive for him. -
Rosco by far! I never could get too much into the replacement sheriffs...don't think you could ever really come close to replacing Rosco. He may give the Dukes a hard time and may be on Hogg's, but you still gotta like him.

Thanks Roger. Thinking of the Dukes, I always get to feeling bad when I think of all the seasons/episodes that I have on DVD and have yet watched. Well I have seen each and every episode more times than I can remember, but have only seen a handful or so from my DVDs. Due to the lack of time in my schedule and of generally going to the computer when I do have time...in my vague attempt to write. LOL. You can call me jealous, Roger, to hear that you have seen them that many times! Well, maybe not jealous, I'm happy to hear that you are able to watch an episode a day - I remember trying to do that. Sadly enough it didn't last very long. Oh well...I am always glad to hear of a fan as dedicated to the show as you are! Perhaps one day I will organize my life enough to find time to do all that I need to do and watch the Dukes. Which is your favorite episode, Roger?
-
I bet you are looking forward to them coming in for you...hope you like them. I have all seven seasons and yet haven't even watched most of them as of yet. Am I bad or what? Hope you enjoy your CHiPs as well...I use to love that show. That was my all time favorite show before I got into the Dukes in '97. Think I have seen each and every episode as much as I've seen each and every episode of the Dukes. I had even wrote fan-fic of the show before switching to write DOH fan-fic. . .
-
Elly- I like your ideas that you posted here. Both for the Dukes and The Beverly Hillbillies. I especially like your combined stories of the cross over between the shows! Good luck at your writing...I hope your muses will cooperate fully with you (unlike mine). HAPPY WRITING!

My 8th grade graduation!!!!!!!!!!!!
Garrett Duke replied to daisydukeXenosstrait's topic in Off Topic
You are welcome. -
Y'all are better than me. LOL...or more in reality with the show than I am. I have it in today's age and go by the ages from some of the info from the show. . .though with the inconsistancie, it makes it hard to go by and to stick with what I got at times. Count me lazy I guess. . .
-
There seemed to be a lot of inconsistancies throughout the series...which makes it difficult when it comes to writing and so forth.

1985 (final season)
Garrett Duke replied to Savickster's topic in Dukes of Hazzard General Discussion
WB Goodolboy85! As for Daisy and Enos not being wed, that is a good question...but it leaves the doors wide open for all of us DOH fan-fic writers to write about if one wishes to do so. To me it seems like TV shows like that want or like their lead characters to be unmarried or so...or maybe it is just coincidence...One may never know. -
Am I reading into things too much?
Garrett Duke replied to goodolboy85's topic in General Discussion
That is kinda odd that he refused to look at you once he saw your shirt. I have several DOH shirts and one kinda like the one you described, but the lettering and numbers are black. As far as I have noticed no one really has acted or said they were offended by it. Though in highschool, I had a Confederate Flag on a shirt that said something like 'it's a Southern thing y'all wouldn't understand" or something to that sort and had a boy in my class call me a racist and claim he was going to go tell another boy in the class who is from Hawaii about it. I got and wore the shirt for The General and the Dukes, I am definately not racist so his jab at me did get me upset, but I think that was his plan, to get me upset. Though back to your question, I guess as long as it isn't someone who you see every day or someone close to you, I wouldn't let it bother you too much. Because if he or anyone else knew anything about the show, we all know there is nothing racist in it or about it. So maybe it is him that is reading too much into your shirt. If it did bother you, you could ask him about it next time if he treats you the same way and then explain to him the show and what your shirt means. I hope that helps a little bit. . . -
That is a great question, but it is hard to chose which scene and what episode. There is so many to chose from. The first one to come to mind is "Ghost of General Lee" where the boys are playing with the law while they think they are dead. Or perhaps at the episode of "The Dukes Meet Cale Yourboro" (I know I misspelled his name...) would be great to meet a legendary NASCAR driver. . . Give me time, I am sure I will be able to think of plenty of other scenes or episodes that would be great to be in! I just would think it would be great to be in any episode and to be able to meet, hang out with, and talk to all of the characters ont he show - especially the Dukes and Cooter. Would love to listen to Uncle Jesse - his advice and stories and so forth. To ride in The General with the boys...the list goes on and on. Great question!

i1976 - You are very welcome. It is always refreshing to see/read something new or different. Yeah, Enos isn't very much written for...including by me. I just never really think of using him for some reason. Glad to see that someone has remembered him and thinks of him in their fic...
And I know what you mean, it always feels good to get a review of your story. Especially positive reviews. Keep up the good work.

i1976 -I read your sick day challenge story a while ago today and just thought I'd send you a note to say good job on your story. It was good and creative to read a Daisy and Enos story. Very original.

That is ok. I could make them out what they are meant to be. Was this your favorite concert you went to?
