Skipper Duke

Roger Duke yep. 😢

Dukes of Hazzard fans... I bring y'all sad news. Rick Hurst (Deputy Cletus Hogg) has passed away. 😢

Hey Gilligan's Island fans! 🚣‍♂️🌴 I've got some news to share: it looks like Fun World Pony Express has updated their Skipper costume design! 🚨 The classic Shirt, Pants, Hat, and Stuffable Belly combo has been swapped out for a new version featuring a Shirt, Pants, Hat, and Wig. 🤔 I spotted one on eBay with the new design, and it's definitely a change from the original. Anyone else notice this? Let's discuss! 💬 #GilligansIsland #TheSkipper #CostumeUpdate

Sometimes I hear the PlayStation 1 Racing For Home and Daisy Dukes It Out and PlayStation 2 and Xbox Return of the General Lee when I'm not playing. 😂

From the Facebook page Anita's Analysis On the final day of filming "The Andy Griffith Show" in 1968, the atmosphere on set was far from celebratory. Andy Griffith, usually composed and warm in front of the camera, quietly stepped away from the soundstage once the last scene wrapped. According to crew members who were present, he walked down the familiar corridor at Desilu Studios, turned a corner, and disappeared behind a row of trailers. Moments later, someone heard soft sobs. Griffith had broken down in private, overwhelmed by the weight of saying goodbye to a show that had defined nearly a decade of his life. For eight seasons, he had played Sheriff Andy Taylor, the calm and wise father figure of Mayberry. But the relationships that developed behind the scenes had grown even deeper than those written into the scripts. Don Knotts, who portrayed the high-strung Barney Fife, had departed the show after five seasons, but he returned occasionally and maintained a close bond with Griffith. Ron Howard, who played Opie, later recalled how Griffith became a real-life mentor. Frances Bavier, George Lindsey, and the rest of the cast had become like extended family members. Griffith's emotional connection to them was rooted not in fiction, but in shared years of long working days, laughter between takes, and the rare honesty that can exist when people create something meaningful together. The moment that triggered his tears was not a scene, but the silence that followed the final “cut.” The absence of movement on set, the way everyone slowly lowered their scripts and avoided eye contact, created an emotional vacuum. Jack Dodson, who played Howard Sprague, once shared that nobody wanted to be the first to speak. “It was as if Andy had given us the permission to feel, and then took it all with him when he walked off,” he said in a 1993 interview with "TV Guide." That day, Griffith’s dressing room remained closed for nearly an hour. Only his longtime friend and manager Richard O. Linke approached, quietly placing a hand on the door but choosing not to knock. When Griffith finally returned to the stage, his eyes were red, but he carried himself with grace. Without saying much, he moved from one cast member to the next, hugging each tightly. According to Ron Howard, who was just 14 at the time, Griffith held him the longest. “He whispered, ‘You’re going to be alright. You’ve got it in you.’ That meant more than anything,” Howard shared years later in an interview with "Entertainment Weekly." Griffith had been hesitant about ending the show, but he knew the chemistry was changing. Don Knotts had taken on film roles, Ron Howard was beginning to outgrow the Opie character, and the tone of television itself was shifting. In later years, he admitted in an interview with "The Charlotte Observer" that part of his breakdown stemmed from the fear that nothing else he did would carry the same heart. “I didn’t know if I’d ever get to feel that kind of honesty and warmth again, not just in front of a camera, but in life.” After the wrap, the cast and crew gathered for a quiet dinner at a local studio-adjacent restaurant. There were no speeches, no formal farewells. Andy Griffith kept a handkerchief in his hand the entire evening. George Lindsey would later say, “I think he was still crying on the inside. We all were. But it was his pain that showed us how much it all meant.” The next morning, Griffith did not return to the studio. He called Richard Linke from his home in Toluca Lake and asked him to collect the last few items from his dressing room. He could not face the space empty. That call, according to Linke, was the true end. When a show gives people a home, ending it does not feel like closing a chapter, it feels like walking away from a town where every soul had mattered.

I used up my reactions. So here ya go. 😂

I'm gonna win. All I gotta do is knock out all you other drivers with a bonk on the head by my Captain Skipper hat. 😂

It was Cooter's birthday in Season 3 The Canterbury Crock. He was going to a birthday Barbecue Stump Roundtree was throwing for him.

There was Uncle Jesse's surprise birthday party at the Boars Nest in Season 6 Undercover Dukes.

Wow! A Facebook friend couldn't find it anymore.

Season 6 Dead and Alive Bo and Luke are chasing the crooks who robbed the Chickasaw County Armored truck. Sheriff Little is chasing the Dukes. The Dukes stop because the road splits up, and they can't go both ways. Bo:"What are we gonna now? This face behind us ain't exactly friendly." Luke:"Bo, yer bein' cynical now. He's the law, he's gotta do his duty. We'll split up, an' go catch those guys." Bo:"Ok. But you explain it to him." Luke:"Alright. I'll do that." Sheriff Little:"Alright you Dukes, climb on outta that there car, an' reach fer the sky!" Luke:"Sheriff Little, listen-"(Sheriff Little won't have of what Luke is trying to say.) Bo:"He's a Lawman an' he's gotta do his duty huh!?" Waylon Jennings:"Sheriff Little wasn't listenin'. As far as he was concerned, the Dukes were convicted of grand theft, horse stealin' an' the sinking of the Titanic!" 😆 😂

Season 1 High Octane Enos:"Let's Go ma'am." 😂 Roxanne:"I am entitled to a telephone call!" 😂 Enos:"I know that ma'am. Just as soon as I get these boys locked up, you can make it." 😂 Roxanne (Flirting with Enos rubbing his chin.):"Look Enos, I know, I know yer just doing yer duty. But, yer making a terrible mistake." 😂 Enos:"Yes ma'am." 😂 Luke pushes the glass Moonshine jug of water off the counter. It shatters on the floor, the water trails into the cell with Enos and Roxanne. 😂 Waylon Jennings:"Y'all stick around for the barbecue, you hear." 😂 Bo (Strikes a match.):"Alright Enos, now, don't either of you 2 move, or I'm gonna drop this in there, an' we're just gonna have a big Roman Candle!" 😂 Roxanne:"You wouldn't!" 😂 Bo:"Sure I would! We ain't goin' to prison for nobody! Alright, gimme yer gun Enos!" 😂 Enos:"Why Bo, I wouldn't use this on y'all." 😂 Bo:"Gimme yer gun Enos!" 😂 Luke:"We know you wouldn't use it Enos. But she might." 😂 Luke locks them in the cell together. Bo:"Are you puttin' her in there with him?" 😂 Luke:"Hey. I promised I'd fix him up with her, didn't I?" Roxanne:"You promised me if I arrested you fair and square, that you wouldn't resist!" Luke:"Yeah. But you didn't arrest us fair and square! You still got them matches Bo?" 😂 Bo:"Right in my hand." 😂 Roxanne:"You'll blow us all up!" 😂 Bo:"Well, you don't give me any choice. You questioned our honor." (Strikes another match.) Roxanne:"Oh no!" 😂 Enos:"Don't do it Bo! No! Please, ah! Ah!" 😂 The match burns out in the water at Bo and Luke's feet. Enos and Roxanne are in the back of the cell glued to the wall. 😂 Luke:"Y'all can come down off that wall now. It's only water." 😂 Enos/Roxanne:"Water?" 😂 Bo:"That's right. You arrested us fer transportin' water." 😂 Roxanne:"Now how was I supposed to know it was water?" 😂 Luke:"Well, a revenue agent oughta be able to tell moonshine from water." 😂 Bo:"She sure didn't seem to have much trouble tellin' the difference last night at the Boars Nest." 😂 Luke:"Enos, I'm afraid we're gonna have to borrow yer squad car." 😂 Enos:"Uh huh. Now boys, we was raised together. But now yer goin' too far! That's county property Luke!" 😂 Roxanne:"I'll get you Dukes no matter what!" 😂 Bo:"Bye now." 😂 Enos:"I can't understand them boys. I mean, that's real dishonest, passin' water off as moonshine." 😂 Roxanne (Catching on.):"Don't you see Enos!? They weren't passing water off as moonshine! They were running a blind fer Jesse!" 😂

You see, Boss Hogg, he don't want y'all winnin' that contest." Luke:"Thanks a lot Enos. I appreciate it. I owe you one." Enos:"You sure do now Luke. Now, don't you forget now, I aim to collect now." 😂 Luke:"Consider her yours Enos." 😂 Enos:"Wow." 😂
