I already mentioned that a while back. I guess that makes TWO votes for Wilford Brimley.

I think this might be a historic moment at HazzardNet! LOL. Darrell and Tim in agreement... *THUD* There might be occasional squabbles on this site. You'll get that anywhere a large group of folks congregate. But one thing pulls us all together into one great big family and that's love of the Dukes of Hazzard.

We added a new classified ads section to HazzardNet. If you have anything to sell or are looking for particular items, post an ad! http://www.hazzardnet.com/classifieds/

$2,000,000/25 Chargers = $80,000 per Charger??? That doesn't seem quite right. Can anyone confirm this?

Brian, You forget that I'm a programmer and wrote a good chunk of the code that has run HNet over the years. HNet can certainly shpy on you for me and alert me to any misdeeds you might be up to. In fact, I'll just set my Palm Treo next to the bed every night and setup HNet to text message me any time you login. I'm a very light sleeper. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Or maybe not. But you won't know if I set that up, will you? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok, I've had my quota of evil laughs for today. I'm gonna go watch tv.

Brian, I don't know if you particularly like getting shpammed to death through the webmaster email address, but I know I certainly don't. So, I've replaced the email address you listed with an image so shpambots hopefully don't grab it and send us all sorts of emails about hot stock tips or how to increase the size of our non-existent male parts.

Kids say the darnedest things! NUDITY I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom ! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!" OPINIONS On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents." KETCHUP A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. The little girl responded, "My mom can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle." MORE NUDITY A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, "What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?" POLICE # 1 While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?" "Yes," I answered and continued writing the report. "My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?", she asked. "Yes, that's right," I told her. "Well, then," she said as she extended her foot toward me, "would you please tie my shoe?" POLICE # 2 It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. "Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked. "It sure is," I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?" ELDERLY While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!" DRESS-UP A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit." "And why not, darling?", he asked. "You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning " DEATH While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes." SCHOOL A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!" BIBLE A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear? " With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear."

THAT would be awesome. I think I'd tune in for that. Dukes of Hazzard: Ridge Runners!

I think if the movie did well on tv, this will be the beginning of a new tv series. In fact, I think it'll follow along the lines of the Star Trek franchise and will go something like this.... Dukes of Hazzard: The Next Generation (ST: TNG) Dukes of Hazzard: Deep South, Back 40 (ST: DS9) Dukes of Hazzard: Traveller (ST: Voyager) Dukes of Hazzard: The General Lee (ST: Enterprise) Hehehe...

Welcome, Jeff! We hope you enjoy your stay on HazzardNet!

Welcome back!

You gotta admit, Min. Lulu was poultry in motion. *ducks!*

Ooh! Goodie. That's one of my faves. I gotta get it on DVD. Lotsa memorable quotes: Jimmie plays Tom Folliard. Tom: "Hey Charlie? Did you notice the way he straps his gun?" Charlie: "So?" Tom: "Yeah, ties her down too." Charlie: "That don't mean he's a bandit." Tom: "Well, it don't mean he's a preacher neither."

That almost sounds obscene.

Well, Uncle Jesse was more of a gambler than he was a pothead. So, who else could play Uncle Jesse? How 'bout Wilford Brimley?

I think one of the actors (Randy Wayne?) was on an ABC series, so perhaps they thought it might be good publicity? I don't know, just a guess. It certainly wasn't "family" material, at least IMO.

With yours truly lookin' over yer shoulder 24/7, RIGHT?

Ok, I started a poll. You can choose multiple answers if more than one response fits your feelings about the movie. The poll is here: http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5812

Alright folks, here's your chance to vote on how you'd rate Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning. You can choose more than one option, if you'd like.

You just had to use that word again, didn't you? Tim, I don't think anyone here is saying the movie was great. I think the general consensus is that nothing WB could ever do would ever be as good as the original. I think even the reunion movies, though they involved the original cast, definitely weren't as great as the original show. I just think, compared to how we've come to expect WB to s*** all over the Dukes franchise lately, this particular outing wasn't as bad as we expected. At least that's how I feel. I don't consider either movie to be "Dukes of Hazzard", they just slapped the name on 'em. If I had kids, I certainly wouldn't have let them watch it and that to me is the biggest signal that the movies really aren't "Dukes". Neither of the movies were geared towards kids. As I said before, as "adult" entertainment, it could've been a lot worse. When Dukes first came out, it was a little racy. There was swearing. There was a "mobile madame", Boss cavortin' with other women, etc. But eventually the show toned it down and became a family show. Who's to say that won't happen with any future Dukes movies/tv? As far as 90% of everyone here liking the movie, I sincerely doubt that. In fact, perhaps I'll put up a poll to see what everyone really thinks. Like I said, I think expectations were so low that it would've been hard for the movie not to surpass them.

As with the '05 Dukes of Hazzard movie, I won't be watching it if I have to spend $$$ on it. If I can watch for free, sure, but I won't be buying either movie. That's my li'l protest for straying so far from the Dukes family-friendly formula.

Khee! I's just givin' you a hard time. Welcome aboard.

In any fandom, there will be differing opinions on what folks like and what they dislike. The purpose of this forum is to provide the opportunity to express those views WITHOUT being knocked for expressing them. We encourage open and honest discussion on our boards, but squabbling gets us no where. So, knock it off (and that means everybody) or we'll have to release the forum nazis.

Doh! Don't you disrespect Shemp! LOL. I'll have you know Shemp was the original third Stooge when their act started in Vaudeville. He replaced Curly in the shorts when Curly suffered a stroke. If it weren't for Shemp, there might not have been a Three Stooges and even if there were, they wouldn't have lasted as long as they did. Joe Besser was infinitely bad. To lump Shemp in with him is just criminal. I might have to cuff ya n' stuff ya. Khee!

Welcome to HazzardNet, J.D.! HazzardNet is indeed a family. Like any family, we have our black sheep (Brian... hehehe) and we have our dysfunctional moments, but mostly we get along just fine. Anyway, welcome and enjoy yourself at HazzardNet!
