I'll give ya the DOH fan part, but being a #24 fan is another story... Besides that, good to have ya around these parts.... Later Darrell

Wouldn't that be something if BOTH Jeff Gordon & Dale Jr. DIDN"T make trhe so called "chase".... It would be interesting if Dale Jarret , MNark Martin , Rusty Wallace make it in. That is what I would like to see and give these "kids" (the ones who had everything handed to them so far and who never earned it) a run for the Cup....... Other than my rambling....Finally Tony Stewart in victory lane this year...WOOOHOOOO... #20 - Tony Stewart

You forgot one of the best..........Southern Rock.......

Been listening to a lot of the King - Elvis Presley...Mainly the CD Suspicious Minds -The 69 Memphis anthology. I think and so do a lot of others that this was his best work ever. Listening to this , you can see why he was "the King" ......... later Darrell

I know the song.......BUT it somehow doesn't fit the "Dukes" , at least to me anyway. I would rather hear a good fiddle or steel guitar chase song.... Good song though for chase scenes. Darrell

Oh boy!!!!!!! Hopefully my 2 1/2 year old son won't notice hat much that they are "different" . I haven't seen those episodes in a very long time. Hoepfully , at least to me anyways, they won't be as bad as everyone says. Darrell

Brian - Thank you fro the info. What would we do around here without you. My apologies for getting on the others in this thread.. You would think they (WB) would have secured the rights back in 79 to 85 when the show was on the air. Wasn't there a legal action back then against the show too? I might be mistaken on that. Definately the best thing to do would have been to wait to after the movie had made it's money at the box office and DVD sales. Unfortunately now , WB has a chance to actually limit the release and potentially work the numbers in there favor unless they settled for a flat fee. But is was settle rather quickly. Funny how this only came out as a little "studio briefing" . No mention of a lawsuit earlier before it went to a judge. No other mentions on entertainment news sites or anything else. Well at least not yet anyway.

I know Wal-Mart was selling that DVD a few weeks ago. It has 3 episodes from season 1 on it. I wonder if it the same DVD or it was pulled for some reason....Maybe it will have 3 different episodes on it.....I don't know... http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3257

Where have you read that??? Please provide a link to reference it......

Where is this info? .........Links please

I have no idea t otwhat you are talking about. Provide a link to what you read ......

That is what I have been "preaching" about for a long time on here..... We get the Dukes fever all over again with the movie. I have always said that the movie will bring new generation of Dukes fans who will hopefully discover the original legacy. WE have gotten a ton of Dukes stuff this year because of the movie, DVD's of the first 3 seasons so far, the re-release of the original Dukes Of Hazzard album on CD, re-releases of the ERTL/Joy Ride diecast cars, and best of all reruns i na great time slot on CMT.... I tell you a Dukes fan I am very thankful for all of this. And it is because of the movie. Because of the movie this and other Dukes message boards are very active. Either way , I am looking forward to the movie. Seeing the General fly and the awesome stunts, Burt Reynolds(which I still say will make a good Boss Hogg) , Willie Nelson(who will make a good Uncle Jesse), Bo & Luke as modern day Good Ol' Boys who better have morals and respect like the originals(even if they are a bit wild, they must have the manners) ...

Did I miss something?????

what about the South's true hard rock rednecks...... Rock Me , Roll Me , JACKYL Me Off

Here is another article from Aw, Shucks that I got a link from... This is total corporate BS political correctness.. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=106116 Chrysler Shuns Marketing Deal With Dukes of Hazzard Movie Date Posted 06-17-2005 CHELSEA, Mich. — The Chrysler Group will not tie in any marketing of its 2006 Dodge Charger with the upcoming movie, The Dukes of Hazzard, because it is afraid the display of the Confederate flag on the movie's vintage Charger will offend some viewers. The movie, scheduled to open August 5, is based on the TV series that ran from 1979 to 1985 and featured "good old boy" cousins eluding authorities in The General Lee, a 1969 orange Dodge Charger with a Confederate flag on the roof. The movie stars Jessica Simpson, Burt Reynolds and Willie Nelson. "They gave us the treatment for the movie and talked about a marketing deal, but we said we can't participate if you keep the Confederate flag," Jason Vines, Chrysler Group vice president of communications, told Inside Line. "It's offensive to a lot of people. But they [Warner Bros.] said 'no.' We still get a mention of the Charger in the movie, but we couldn't do anything beyond that." The Confederate battle flag, also called the Southern Cross, has been at the center of controversy for years. It has been described as a proud emblem of Southern heritage and as a shameful reminder of slavery and segregation. The Southern Poverty Law Center says more than 500 extremist groups use the Southern Cross as one of their symbols. What this means to you: The General Lee rides again, but Chrysler doesn't want anything to do with it.

Got this link off a great southern website Aw, Shucks! The article is from WIStv Columbia, SC.... http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3502987 Turner South surveys Southern opinion on Dukes of Hazzard movie (Atlanta) June 21, 2005 - Atlanta based "Turner South" wanted to know how Southerners feel about the upcoming Dukes of Hazzard movie, so they conducted a survey. They looked at a wide range of topics from the Confederate Flag to the actors in the movie. In the new version, Daisy Duke is played by singer turned actress Jessica Simpson. Turner South asked Southerners who they thought should have been given roles. Southerners picked Katie Holmes to play Daisy. Apparently all the talk about her engagement to Tom Cruise is paying off. She beat out Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, and Scarlett Johansson as top picks. The movie could have Dukes of Hazzard fashion coming back. 38% of Southerners in the survey say those short shorts known as Daisy Dukes should come back in style. The new movie has the roles of Bo and Luke Duke, performed by Johnny Knoxville who is best known for doing outrageous stunts for an MTV show. Seann William Scott who became famous for roles in American Pie and Dude Where's My Car also stars. According to Southerners in the survey, Matthew McConaughey and Luke Wilson would have been a better fit for the roles. Other popular duos for Bo and Luke were Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller and Justin Timberlake and Ashton Kutcher. The survey didn't just look at actors. When asked about the Confederate Flag on top of the General Lee, 76% said leave it on the car for the remake. Turner South also asked if the characters are offensive. Most people said they are not, but more than half said they do not accurately represent Southern culture. The Turner South survey also looked at other TV shows Southerners would like to come back as movies. Apparently people want to see Knight Rider, MacGyver, Magnum, PI, and the A-Team all re-made into Hollywood movies.

Ain't that the truth......

Black Label Society.......... Zakk Wylde is a true guitar God. If it wasn't Zakk I probably wouldn't like them.

Brian.... Thank you very much for sharing that. As a father , I highly appreciate the thoughtfulness on your part to post something about Father's Day. Especially the spiritual passage you shared. Thank you from a proud father of 3 wonderful children. Darrell

Watching last nights CMT episode with Boss's Diary, Rosco attempts to jump over the hood of the Sheriffs car ala Bo & Luke. He slides right on his butt and almost gets hit by a oncoming car. I have never laughed so hard at a Rosco moment. I thought that was classic..... Darrell

Catherine Bell is in the TV show JAG....... Everybody on here had their choices to play Daisy in the movie and Jessica Simpson was NOT one of them. But her dumbness might be a very good public relations move. Just acting that way will keep people talking and articles published. Remember the saying -Any Publicity Is Good Publicity. We used to get MuchMusic here til a couple of years ago and they switched the channel to Fuse(another music channel). I discovered some great bands on Much that MTV wouldn't even think about playing. Much had some great music shows , but the Much Music awards show sucked big time , except for some performances. I use to like Ed the sock puppet and some of his interviews and insight. Darrell

How does that song from South Park - The Movie go? Blame Canada

I like Junior Brown and his own uniqueness .The guy is an amazing guit-steel player....I have a couple of CD's of his , Semi Crazy and Junior High..... I think he would make a good balladeer, just never thought of it..... Darrell

Political Correctness is running rampant.......That bugs the heck out of me that they can't leave the General the way we all know and love and recognize ...... Damn hollywood studio...I hope this doesn't mean anything when the movie comes out like if they CGI the flag off the car or anything like that. Better not happen... Darrell
