Skipper Duke

Happy 68th Birthday today to Ron Howard(Opie Taylor)! 3/1/54!

Happy 68th Birthday today to Catherine Bach(Daisy Mae Duke)! 3/1/54!

You know I think with Happy Birthday General Lee being General Lee's story, they should've put the crossed flags on it for that episode in all the flashbacks. What do y'all think?

Jackie Gleason(Sheriff Buford T. Justice) from original the Smokey Is the Bandit Part 3 trailer, the version of the film in which he played both roles Sheriff and Bandit. "I have succeeded in becoming my own worst enemy, the Bandit."

For me Cousin, I think so. I bounced back from it pretty quickly.

Cousin Roger Duke... They say that I had it in November 2021.

(Season 4 Coltrane vs Duke) Luke Duke:"You all set Doc?" Doc Appleby:"Yeah." Luke Duke:"Alright." Waylon Jennings:"And waitin' down the road was Sheriff Little of Chickasaw County. He only loved 1 thing. His badge, and hated 2 things. Dukes and Rosco Coltrane. Why, every night, he prayed to his maker that he could nail the Duke Boys before Rosco did." Doc Appleby:"Sorry fer the delay boys." Luke Duke:"That's alright. We'll just take a short cut." Doc Appleby:"Oooh!"

What do y'all think?

I like that necklace. Anyone have info on it? Who made it etc?

(Season 4 Coltrane vs Duke) Luke Duke:"The stork had to pick this morning fer deliverin'." Doc Appleby:"Be right with you, boys!" Bo Duke:"We can still make it, right?" Luke Duke:"Yeah. Come on Doc! Let's hit the road!" Doc Appleby:"Uh. Boys?" Luke Duke:"You gotta be kiddin'? Not triplets?" Doc Appleby nods and holds up 3 fingers. Waylon Jennings:"They're lucky he ain't a vet. Some dogs have a dozen in the litter."

Some tell me about the Fun World hat. "Get over that one. It's just costume and you have a real hat anyway. You really don't need this Fun World one." But I'm the type fan I have to have more then 1 of the same thing in the collection. Friends tell me "You're making this harder then it needs to be. Just buy it and be done. This has gone on to long now. You'll feel better about all this." 1 friend says:"Yes your friends are right. You are making this very hard and it's ridiculous. This has become an obsession over a costume hat that you can easily buy yourself on E-Bay. You keep asking me my opinion and I keep giving you the same answer. Just buy the hat or the costume yourself on E-Bay. I've been hearing about this for about 4 months now. Please stop telling me and asking me about this hat. Just buy it or don't. It's your collection, I don't need to know."

A little late but...2/20/1965 Big Man on a Little Stick aired. Surfer/muscleman Duke Williams lands on the island via 5 days riding a tsunami wave. He vows to surf back ASAP. But when the girls eye him flexing his huge biceps in the Boy's Hut, and he gets a look at them everything changes. Hilarity ensues as Gilligan tries to build up his body, the Howell's think a regal Duke has landed on the island & the girls swoon over Duke. But when the surf stud gets too handsy all bets are off & the castaways must trick Duke into getting them rescued...The first of 2 guest appearances by the late, great Denny Miller

Everyone thinks "Buy your own Fun World Skipper hat. Best way to go best way to get it." They tell me "That way you don't have to deal with people's broken promises."

(Season 5 Opie Loves Helen) Barney Fife(To Helen Crump):"You!? He was talking to you!? I'm a little surprised myself! Well, goodbye to you too!" Barney Fife(To Andy Taylor):"Well if it ain’t Daddy Long Legs!!!"

(Season 5 Opie Loves Helen) Opie Taylor:"When you and I are far apart, I no longer live." Helen Crump:"Opie, what are you reading, who’s with you??" Barney Fife:"Nobody!" Opie Taylor:"Barney said nobody." Helen Crump:"Opie, could you come over here please? I wanna talk to you." Opie Taylor:"“She wants me to come right over!”

(Season 4 The Shoplifters) Andy Taylor:“Little Old Ladies Ought Never to Clank.” Barney Fife:"Unless they're headed to the clink."

(Season 2 Follow That Still) Luke Duke(To ATF Agent Buchanan):"Good morning! Nice day fer a drive, ain't it? Sir?"

(Season 2 Smile, You're On Mars Camera) Professor George Bancroft:"What's that big bird man doing to that little bird man?" Professor John Corwell:"Well, I can't be to sure, George. But it looks like he's trying to force him to lay an egg!"

(Season 2 Smile, You're On Mars Camera) Skipper:“I don’t care if the feathers came from the goose that laid the golden egg!” Gilligan:“What goose?” Skipper:“That laid the golden egg, you know, from the fairy tale!” Gilligan:“Laid a golden EGG!!??” Skipper:“Yes Gilligan. Once upon a time there was a goose. This goose laid a golden egg. Now the goose was very important at the time- OH NEVERMIND Gilligan!"

(Season 1 St. Gilligan and the Dragon) Mr. Howell:"Oh lovey dear!"(splash)Mrs. Howell, Ginger and Mary Ann throw water on him, and he goes back for more!) (splash) Mrs. Howell:"The idea….-" Ginger:"Sneaking around like that." Mary Ann:"Peeping Tom." ALL:"PEEPING TOM!!!"(repeatedly)

I'm thinking since Fun World's hat cap was not in my original set from my baby brother in 2010 that it's not meant to be that I have their hat cap. If it was meant to be, it would have been in there. Maybe I am not meant to have it. Everyone says "Stop worrying about the Fun World one. It isn't real anyway and you already have a real one your Pakistan one." I guess if I want navy just wear the Broner hats and the navy Lancaster police cop conversion? What do y'all think? Give it up on it and continue enjoying the rest of the collection?

(Season 2 Ship Ahoax) Gilligan:"Me and my ex best friend The Skipper don't want our hut bein' used as a closet!"

(Season 3 Gilligan vs Gilligan) Russian Spy Gilligan:"Are you still there?"(silence)"Phooey on you!" Comrade:"Ah, ha…I am still here!" Russian Spy Gilligan:"Correction, phooey on me!"
