oh now 'dukefan'settle down a bit. im just voicing my opinion, not doing a direct attack, like some people. now you might wanna read the bit about Sheeve i wrote again you misunderstand, i didnt say sheeve blew himslef up, i said that if i could have made a change to the movie that would have been it....that was the way i would have done the movie, it was my way of saying that i hated that character....get it? now you sure did a good job to try and justify the old show versus the new movie, i was just drawing a comparison. just remember one thing society has changed...alot, since 1979 language, fighting, drug reference, sex reference, skin....none of the basic ideas have changed, just become a bit flashier and ostentatious than back in teh late 70's/early 80's. here's what i find most amusing...all of this talk and anger over a movie, a piece of entertainment that every, and anyone is allowed to have an opinion, and if ya hated it so much dont go see it again, dont even b**** about it....those of us who liked it arent about to change their minds and its obvious you arent going to change yours. negative or positive you cant change it. oh, and one more thing 'duke fan'...the original series didnt start out as a show for kids, it was jimmie best who kinda led the way for that change...read the 'dukes of hazzard guide' by david hofstede to educate yourself. dont worry about my watching the reruns, as long as they keep coming out on dvd ill own and watch em. and for your last comment......from the new fans i have been talking to....you're wrong, but then again, that is your right.

LOL.....I totally forgot about the mobile cat house!!! Good memory, thanks.

Alright ya'll, I have been debating on whether or not to say anything at all on this site about the movie. I have been reading and watching patiently with the rest of you to see the new movie, and quite frankly I was disappointed with quite a few Dukes fans...and, I'm sorry to say it, Ben Jones. Not to say there werent a few things i would have changed....act one, scene one, Sheeve blows himself up...end of character. I didnt think that Gainey was a good choice for Rosco, and a few cameo's would have been alright with me. However, overall, the movie was entertaining as hell and worth going to more than once! What esle do you we need....the General kicking some major a**, cop cars being destroyed by the ton, real jumps (not computer generated), fun charaters, comedy, great story line (who didnt get goose bumps when the rebuilt General made his debut), and of course, Daisy. Oh, and lets not have any one of us forget the most important thing......THE DUKES OF HAZZARD LIVES ON!!!!! The show wouldn't be back on CMT getting top ratings, the series wouldn't be out on DVD as quickly as it has been if at all, and the newest generation of kids wouldnt be introduced as readily to what we grew up loving....just to name a few positives. Now I know we all hated Coy and Vance, then, but look at it from today's perspective, without em our beloved show would have ended there. We would have missed out on a few extra years of the Dukes...so I say God Bless em! They relate to the new Bo and Luke, without em, eventually, the Dukes would have slowly faded.....the movie breathes new life into what we all love and are totally obsessed over! How is that a bad thing!?! Sex, drugs, language, and fighting were said to be the bad element of the movie...were those things not present in the TV show? First season had Boss and Rosco saying 'damn' and 'jackass', Catherine Bach's high cut shorts were not going to be allowed by censors for being too risque, Bo and Luke were always after girls, bar room brawls constantly, and do i remember an episode with the boys hauling dope instead of a water heater and when it started burning at the end Rosco had quite a funny reaction......so how far off was the movie!?! TRUE FELLOW DUKES OF HAZZARD FANS UNITE! We are all honorary members of the Duke family thru good, bad, and ugly, and thanks to the movie our little family is still going strong. Say it with me.........YEEEEEEHAWWWWWW!!!

tell ya what. i have been in contact with these guys for a couple of months now about either a fall guy truck replica or a general. they are extremely friendly and very customer service oriented! give em a try. the told me they would charge $20,000-$25,000 for a general replica.

greetings ya'll. three things: 1. CMT has made a wise decision, like we all didnt know that, and i do hope that a whole new generation gets fired up about the Dukes. 2. i am, as i have heard it put, nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs about this "new" movie. if it goes anything like "Starskey and Hutch" there are gonna be alot of unahppy citizens in Hazzard County, naimly me. 3. Return of the General Lee for PS2 is an absolute joy!! got it for christmas from the in-laws and love it! much better than the last 2 games. well friends and neighbors that is all i have for now. keep between the ditches. ps-someone please email me the song "Carryin' On" from the reunion movie. i of course have it on the movie but dont have the right equipment to do a really high quality rip of the song. according to my research it does not exist anywhere....someone HELP!!!
