You are probably right. It would be better to make a new program with female leads but I would find a new Hazzard County based program with two female leads interesting.

The Charlotte Rae show you're talking about was called "The Facts of Life". Also when was a show mostly with all-male regular characters never ok. The westerns had mostly male casts, at least in the regular roles. Also shows cast in a war setting were mostly male-centric. The only female-centric war program I can think of is "China Beach".

Why not tweak the Dukes of Hazzard formula and have female versions of Bo and Luke Duke. Just because the originals were men doesn't mean that a remake with women being the main characters wouldn't work. If having two women as the main characters in a show set in Hazzard County would bother some people, how about a new show with at least two female main characters, with the show being as light-hearted as "The Dukes of Hazzard" and set in a warm place.

And if there is a show set in Hazzard County that has more than one female character, and are not tokens, some conservatives will cry "Woke", especially if they are similar to Bo and Luke Duke in prominence.

I won't argue about their popularity. However, even in 1979 there were programs that featured more than one regular female character, i.e. "Charlie's Angels" and I wonder why the creators of "The Dukes of Hazzard" only created one regular female character. The show ran on the Smurfette principle, meaning that there was only one female character to represent women in a sea of male characters. If there is a future program set in Hazzard County maybe it should have more than one female character. For example, make the mechanic a competent woman.

I noticed that "The Dukes of Hazzard" had a Smurfette problem. That is the show only had one female main character, as opposed to recurring characters. That meant that the show placed the female characteristics onto one person. My idea would have been, in addition to two male cousins, two female cousins. That would have even out the character traits. What do you think?

The cousin's names should be Belle, Lucia, and Daisy. Also I think the new cousins are beautiful in their Daisy Dukes shorts.

If there is a new "Dukes of Hazzard" show the Duke cousins should be different from the original Duke cousins.

I have been doing fine, RogerDuke. I wanted to share these memes for everybody's entertainment and discussion. Since Daisy Duke is known famously for her short denim shorts I decided to use Daisy Dukes wearers in the memes above.

I have been doing some memes lately and some of the memes are about what if a new Daisy Duke is cast. Here are two of them, which I download from Reddit posts.

I will admit that I love muscular women. I believe they have the best bodies. Here's a link to a picture of some of these muscular women, most of them wearing Daisy Dukes. I provided a link because the picture's size is too big to download. https://www.girlswithmuscle.com/1095517/

Here is a picture of Jenny Cronholm, a Swedish fitness woman, wearing Daisy Dukes. I assume it's her since it was found on her Instagram account. That's one fine pair of shorts.

That's one patriotic, skimpy outfit that she is wearing. She's sexy wearing those clothes.

Here's a woman in a photo that everyone here would appreciate. The woman is Jennie Gil Porcelli, who competes in the IFBB, an organization that holds bodybuilding and physique contests, among others.

That brings a smile to my face.

We all know that Daisy Duke is famous for those short jean shorts. I would like to know your favorite women, or just one woman, in Daisy Dukes. My favorite, at least as far as pictures are concerned, is a picture of Iris Kyle, a female bodybuilder. Although the picture is manipulated (No young men actually seeing Ms. Kyle work out) I still love it.

If CBS was OK with Catherine Bach wearing a bikini with bare legs, then why was CBS bothered with her wearing short jean shorts bare-legged? The shorts covered more of her than a bikini.

China Beach premiered on ABC in April of 1988. The last episode was aired in July of 1991.

The deleted scene is actually called "A new directive".

I have the Season Four DVD of China Beach and included is deleted scenes from the first episode of the season "The Big Bang". My favorite deleted scene is the first, called "New Directive". I'll set the scene since I can't download it. Colleen McMurphy was hanging her clothes, with men looking on. Then it's revealed that she is wearing, besides a t-shirt and dog tags, jean shorts, and the men are hooting and hollering. She then went to a building with another nurse, who said that tickets should have been sold and that if she wanted privacy then she should close her eyes. Entered Major Lila Garreau. McMurphy saluted almost immediately, the other nurse took her time to salute. Garreau then informed them of a new directive about their uniform. Then she informed them of a mandatory dress party, even though the nurses said that they were on duty that night. After Garreau left McMurphy asked who she was and the other nurse talked about her, mostly not-so-nice stuff. I do have a screenshot from that scene. I have shown it in other posts but I want to show it again.

Maybe you, RogerDuke, or someone else would know the answer? Besides Catherine Bach, what other women tried out for Daisy Duke? I heard that the casting took over a year, at least, in many parts of the United States.

In fairness I didn't realize that Catherine Bach wore panty hose in all the scenes she was wearing those short jean shorts until years later. Besides I don't think most people were paying attention to whether she had panty hose on or not. I bet that Ms. Bach wanted her legs to be bare especially in the summer.
