I think another one would be: "You put mayo on the sandwiches again!"

Ooo... That is pretty. Isn't that from Repo Men? I like that one too.

I'll agree with you on that. It's like the whole industry lacks a sense of 'taste' and they don't hide things anymore. I mean, I kind of like how sometimes in the old days they did have racy jokes but they were cleverly hidden so you wouldn't pick them up right away unless you were looking. There is something to be said for a little bit of moddesty. It helps to give a film more character and more respect to it without loosing flavor into tastless garbage.

[Luke's voice only] They paid me to stand here and smile. I really don't know these people.

[Daisy's voice only] Yes, I'm smiling but they won't let me go! I'm stuck at the farm foreeeever! Noooooo!

Luke, how did we fit in this tiny mirror here?

Yes, yes, it takes the prutty pictures of Daisy and does what it's told. [sorry I couldn't help myself]

No, Sean just don't work. Kutcher... hhhmm, well I use to not like him because I thought he lacked serious acting skill but he's proven me wrong lately because he does seem to take his job seriously even though he is often casted in 'airhead, jerky, teenie bop' roles. His more recent work is more professional and he's actually getting into directing it looks like. So maybe he would have made a better Bo. Of course Ashton would have to dye that dark chocolate mop but hey it could be done. Fact Kutcher does alot of research into his roles, so you probably would have had a better Bo out of him. He might have gotten the core right. After all he did 'That 70's Show' and 'The Butterfly Affect'. Which are two totally opposite roles. Maybe he could have found a middle and might have even researched the role harder.

Sean William Scott was the worst choice for Bo Duke. The character of Bo is somewhat based off John Schneider himself because Schneider is a very attractive man and part of Bo's personality is based off the fact of his physical characteristics. Bo is a natural blond, yes, he has airhead moments but he is still very smooth. Bo is a ladies man, where as Luke was the schemer/planer fighter. Bo was a show off but it was used to impress the women. Sure driving was Bo's passion but it was also a passion used to get him girlfriends and make him feared by other men. Bo Duke used the skills and traits he had to get what he needed in life. Sean William Scott as well as the writers of his character in the movie did a huge disservice because they didn't stop and realize that in order to make something close to Bo Duke, you need to either get the original or get something that is almost an exact copy. If they wanted to do justice to the show, to have a real Dukes movie and not a pile of crap, they should have got an actor who had more physical traits that were close to John. If the kid could pass for John's son then they had something to work with. They also should have had the actor talk to John Schneider and get a feel more for the original character. It is all about 'feel'. John Schneider made Bo Duke. He established the main character base. Sure Schneider had writers telling him what his lines were but as he grew from a youthful eager green teenager into a very handsome well practiced actor, he grew and developed Bo and made that part his own. An actor has done their job well when you look at that part and feel that their are few individuals that could top that performance. Frankly, I myself find it hard to find a replacement for either Duke boy but if they wanted a true actor for the part, they should have used someone like Mathew McConaughey or Owen Wilson for Bo. A well practiced individual who could get into a role of a young handsome southern gentleman with a passion for motorized vehicles and speed. Even a NASCAR driver probably could have made a better Bo because the majority of them are from the south and already have that persona. Sean William Scott had no persona. His acting was flatter than stale popcorn. He was just going in there as a persona of an idiotic teenager who had nothing but speed and sex on his mind. I felt like I was watching some idiotic frat boys that flunked out college and do car stunts. There was more to Bo Duke than that and it was even shown in the first episode One Armed Bandits, when he gave Jill the bag of quarters with his little speech about his home. To me and probably the majority of fans, it was a total lack of respect for those moments that you see in the series. I am going to admit, yes, I do like to watch the movie on occasion and have it on DVD but it is more of something to laugh at and see the car in action than to actually watch the show. I like the original better and those DVD's honestly get more wear than the 2005 pile of crap I own. Even though it is crap, it is still a moment of tribute attempted by Hollywood so I will give it that, even if it was a bad one.

Bo, what I tell ya! This is what happen's when ya go openin' yer Christmas presents early!

Amen to that Roger! The 7th season had it's place. The last episode, 'Opening Night at the Boars Nest' gave you a heartfelt ending to the series. John Schneider himself directed that and it kind of gave you a feeling of everything coming full circle.

I agree with you Dukefan, if you stopped and picked at the show saying, 'This isn't real and this couldn't happen or this wouldn't happen,' then that takes all the fun out of it. Sure it's good to look at it for trivia knowledge but to pick at the show and tear it apart is annoying. It's like a guy sitting down to watch Bay Watch and just enjoying the show, then having his girlfriend come in the room and start pointing out that real women don't look like that and that all those girls curves are acheived by unnatural means and that no real woman could have hair like that after rescuing a 200lb. man from drowning. It just doesn't happen. The point is, just because something seems fake doesn't mean that it's not enjoyable. Personally, in season 7 the stunts were bad but some of the cast interaction and ad-lib was good. By this season, you felt the growth that had taken place between the characters and how they all work together to make the show what it is.

Oh sorry, I just meant that I could see everyone thinking we were 'Terminally Stupid' in Hollywood. Although it might make of a good fic. I'll file it away for a later date.

Let me get this straight... You want me to create a story with Enos and me in Hollywood with amnesia and everyone thinks that one of us has a terminal disease? *blink, blink* Why does the terminal stupids come to mind?

I got a copy on DVD of the pilot episode on DVD for Christmas! My brother and his family got it for me!

You got to love Jeff Dunham! He rocks and so does Peanut!

Yes, singles need lovin'... Lovin' of the fact that they are single! Hehe! I have a saying for that; It's better to have loved and lost than to be stuck waking up to a psycho every morning. This is why animals like deer, cows, horses, oh... and Duke boys, don't get married.

Valentine's Day?! Geeze... More like 'Singles Awareness Day'.... MM what do you have in mind for a challenge, besides it be a Valentines story?

He'd do that high pitch giggle/laugh and jump for joy! Then he probably wouldn't need Daisy. *snerk* If you gave Luke a tomatoe and a garden hose...
