    I wouldn't be surprised to see her out of a cup ride after this year as well unless she puts a string of top 10's of 20's finishes.  

    That's Highly unlikely to happen!

    I'm watching re-runs of Hogan's Heroes as I type this. Werner Klemperer, the son of a Jew who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s, only agreed to play Col. Klink on the condition that his schemes didn't work and he ended up looking stupid. Of course, the swastika was an established symbol long before the Nazies appropriated it.

     

    They could've had a Dukes episode dealing specifically with racism. There are a couple of episodes of M*A*S*H on the subject, one where the racist gets his comeuppance and one where the racist reconsiders his views. Having said that, looking back at the way equal rights was handled in 'Share and Share Alike', maybe I'm glad that Dukes didn't tackle the subject head on.

    Anything that promotes white or southern culture is anathema to the people who REALLY control the mass media, the country etc. ( Same group of people). If you think they will ever give us an even break...you're wrong! I just heard a preacher talking about Kwanza and how blacks were saying that it was a holiday specifically for blacks and not whites or anyone else. You ever hear anybody on TV talking about how that's a racist holiday or anything like that? What if whites had a holiday like that? ....See the double minded hypocrisy? 

  3. Hey, I don't know if I'm putting this in the right place or not but,  about my comment on the term " Ridge Runners" and how they were calling it " Ridge Raiders", you have to remember, the ridges! When you fly down the road driving fast, you're running the ridges....the ridges being the narrow roads. If it was actually " Ridge Raiders".....how would you " Raid" a ridge ( narrow road) ?? No, Ridge Runners has got to be the correct term. This is another big blooper by the writers, seeing that they even titled one of the episodes, " Ridge Raiders"!!

    In fact, I truly go so far as to say, don't waste your time with either of the motion pictures. Not only wastes, but complete insults to all we cherish and hold as good and decent about the Dukes.

    You make an excellent point Andrew!

    I'm afraid I'm with the majority of posters on here: Strange Visitor to Hazzard. Erk. The Dukes meet ET. I'm sorry, but it just didn't work for me, either. :( 

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    Another on my 'Less than Wonderful' list, which I don't see on here (So maybe I'm in the minority on this one) was the Coy and Vance episode with the Russian gymnast. Just feel it was a bit corny and contrived. What do others think?

    This commie gymnast and the silly stuff in the episode makes it one of my least favorite too. This is ONE of the ones ( The weak or outright BAD ones!) I haven't seen but 2-3 times.

    I can see one or maybe even two of the younger Dukes moving away but there's no way all 3 would have gone and left a fragile Uncle Jesse by himself. I'll never watch a reunion movie again.  In my mind Hazzard County hasn't changed since its prime (seasons 2-4) and never will. Jesse, Boss, Rosco, Lulu, Miz Tisdale, Waylon ....all still alive and well if you ask me.

    Right on Roger!!! Hazzard is eternal and when I don't get to watch it on TV and I'm somewhere and I'm tired  or need to rest...I tell my wife " I'm going to the land"...and she knows what I mean and she knows WHERE I mean! Hazzard is a frame of mind and a lifestyle! We have people around where I live, that have  " 01"  and  " Hazzard Life" on the sides of their cars etc.

    Here's a picture of the General Lee from 'The Ghost Of General Lee'.  It was actually a white Charger.  The orange glow was added in post production.

    Wow! I never knew!! Thanks a lot Boss! Hey, I have a question for everybody.......What kind of car did Gaylord Duke drive in "Duke of a Duke?

    I've never watched Moonrunners, but since I've seen it on Cooter's store I might buy it. I've ordered a poster from there ones and that arrived here crisp so a DVD shouldn't be a problem. That DVD didn't exist back then.

    You might like Moonrunners but the name is  Haig ( not sure how to spell it) and it's Bobby Lee and Grady not Bo and Luke and Uncle Jesse dies in it. It's considered a dark comedy. The Boss isn't named Hogg or JD but Jake.
