Skipper Duke

The first time you ever saw the Season 6 episode Brotherly Love, did you expect Luke's brother Jud Kane to be a fake with a hidden menacing agenda like the English cousin Gaylord Duke in the Season 2 episode Duke of Duke was?

Saw Big Ed on TV today. But he wasn't in uniform and he wasn't Big Ed. It was on A-Team, the episode The Bend in the River. 

I was just looking up Big Ed. He was born in Klamath Falls Oregon and that is where he died. (1938-2017). There's a song "Everybody dies famous in a small town" but he really was famous....acted in a lot of things. We miss you Big Ed. Happy birthday today in Hazzard Heaven! 

Looks like we missed a Hobie birthday. Belated happy BD you old Ridge Runner!

Big Ed Little shares a birthday with Crazy Cooter! 

Happy late Birthday Sheriff Little!  ( Mine was on the 31st, so me and you and Cooter are right in there together!)

Happy Birthday Sheriff Little(Don Pedro Colley)!

Happy birthday Big Ed!
Thanks for telling us Andrew.

Many Happy Returns to Don, also known as Sheriff Little! He and Ben/Cooter share the same birthday.

I just thought of something last week.....ever notice the theme song?  Do you ever start the DVD and then go do something while it's playing ( I take my medicine before bed)  and I NEVER get tired of hearing it, even when it plays  over and over. It's like the episodes themselves.....there's no point of exhaustion! You can listen and watch over and over and over! What other show, band, etc. can you name like that???!!!

Me too Skipper. You have our love, prayers and condolences. 

Boss, thanks.

OK.. .THE last 2 beers ( and I'm on the 2nd one)  and then I'll spend the weekend getting ready ( surgery Tues. morning) . They gave me a special soap I have to use 3 days/times before surgery......special Moonshine soap?????

Skipper, Your Aunt Carol's sister Millie is in my prayers. 

There's been a death in my family. Aunt Carol's sister Millie. They just talked last Saturday and she looked pretty good, now she's gone. Millie's son found her dead today. 😢 

I'm glad to hear you are following Doc Appleby's orders. Keep us posted. 

Season 4 Trouble at Cooter's.
Bo:"You know, I just can't figure out how Rosco knew where we were all those times. First at Stone Canyon, then at Cooter's Garage."
Luke:"Unless somebody told him."
Bo:"Besides Cooter, nobody knew about it."
Luke:"Except Bonnie."
Bo:"Yeah, but come on, why would Bonnie wanna-?"
Luke:"It doesn't matter why! What we gotta do, is get back to Cooter's, an' get that float valve put in this car so it runs right!
Bo:"Shoot! We sent Cooter out to Stone Canyon to meet us with that float valve."
Luke:"Shoot, that's the easy part. All we do is raise him on the CB an' cut him off. Hey Crazy C, this here's the Lost Sheep. You out there?"
 

I can't believe I've never spotted this one before. 'My Son, Bo Hogg' starts with a race between Luke in the General and Bo in a car they've borrowed from Cooter. Before the titles have finished, they both crash through some road barriers.

Compare the screengrab above to the one below - the General's nudge bar has come off in the collision!

In case it's hard to see in the pictures above, here's the nudge bar lying on the ground as Cletus sets off in pursuit.

The narrow nudge bars were often only loosely welded to the bumper, and they can be seen flexing in several episodes. I'll have to keep an eye out for more of them falling off .

I've pretty much answered this question in the Bloopers thread. The narrow push bar was an off-the-shelf part for pickup trucks and was only welded to the bumper. The wider push bar was custom-made and welded to the chassis making it much stronger.

If you click the  link you'll see where one of the narrow push bars fell off at the start of 'My Son, Bo Hogg'.

well, cousins, right now I'm watching you know  what and having a few AB's. I just watched Bad Day In Hazzard and I'm about to watch  Miss Tri-Counties! I hope every one is doing well! 9/2 is coming fast and I'm counting down!  Doctor gave me specific instructions, no beer or cold drinks 3 days before surgery!   So Friday  ( DOHD) is my last party day until after surgery and probably until somewhere  around November!

They don't even use the same car throughout 'Twin Trouble' - at least two different cars are used if you compare the front corner lights. It's probably safe to say that the car that was rolled wasn't used again.

I think all of the cars in question are 1967 Chevy 4-door sedans.

I'm surprised that you didn't spot another blue 1967 Chevy 4-door sedan being driven by Mary Lou Tompkins in 'A Baby for the Dukes' earlier in season 6. That one survived, so it could've been used in later episodes.

They were most likely Impalas, but some could've been Bel Airs and Biscaynes. A couple appear to have the Sport Sedan body. Like with your previous questions about cars being the same across episodes, I think all we can say is they were similar. If they didn't get wrecked, they may have been reused.

Good job Webb!

Good spot Hoss!

I found one in Season 4 Diamonds in the Rough. It's when they're in the General Lee and Cletus comes out of the speed trap chasing them after his speed limit sign changed numbers when he pressed the button on the electronic gizmo.
Bo:"Oh great. Cletus. Where the heck did he come from?"
Luke:"You got me. It don't hardly matter though. We can't let him catch us with these diamonds." After Luke finishes talking, just before he turns around to look at Cletus's car, he appears to be looking in a mirror first. The General Lee doesn't have a passenger side door mirror. So what's he looking at? 😂 

I did the '05 movie car Pre Cooter with O1 and no General Lee or flag and the '05 Post Cooter with 01 General Lee Confederate Flag. I did the '79-'85 series cars too in 3D fan art. GA with crossed flags in the back and CA without them and the Happy Birthday General Lee Black car. I even did the Repo Men Lee 1 the Blue Green #71 car.
