Skipper Duke

TV Trivia Time! 🤠📺 I just discovered that Brett Halsey, who played the role of Elwin Kettle in the 1954 film "Ma and Pa Kettle at Home", also had a few memorable appearances as a bad guy in The Dukes of Hazzard! 😱
 
- Season 2's "The Rustlers" - He played Mr. Dunlap, a horse thief
- Season 5's "Enos in Trouble" - He played Carter, one of the gem smugglers who hid gems in Enos's flashlight
- Season 7's "Dukes in Hollywood" - He played Jason Dillard, a movie producer with a shady side
 
Who knew Ma and Pa Kettle's son had such a wild side? 😂 Has anyone else spotted Brett Halsey in these episodes? Share your favorite Dukes of Hazzard memories! 💬

DUKES FANS! 🚗💦 Did you know that the General Lee in Season 2's "The Runaway" episode sank in a lake on a barge? 🤯 Some say it was John Schneider's personal car loaned for the episode! 🤔 Even more interesting, this particular General Lee is rumored to be the ONLY one with WELDED SHUT DOORS throughout the entire series! 🚗🔒 Do you think it's still underwater? 🤔 Share your thoughts! 💬 #TheDukesOfHazzard #GeneralLee #JohnSchneider

You could Google it to get more info. 

Wow. Someone told me a fib then. 😂 

I just looked it looked it up. They are extremely rare but not extremely valuable. 

Happy birthday Hughie Hogg! (Jeff Altman...August 13)

I see you dug up an old JulieDuke thread....24,000 posts. I miss her. 

That HAS to be where they got Hughie and Dewey's names!

DuckTales is also being revamped here in the Netherlands, but as a magazine, I got the first edition for free with my Donald Duck Magazine subscription. It's kind of strange since we already have DD Magazine itself, which is basically the same but with the whole cast of people living in Duckburg (It's called Duckstad in the Netherlands) and surrounding areas. Both don't seem to exists in the USA.

There was an old cartoon called Duck Tales when my daughter was growing up and now they're remaking it so I get to watch it with my grandkids. It has them on it.

When I had first heard of Dewey....many years ago, I already knew his cousin, ( Brother?) Hughie, I wondered if there was a Louie, that we'd hear from later if the show had survived longer? Remember Donald Duck's 3 nephews?

Thanks for posting this Hoss and thanks for bringing up something from Julie. 

I know that this is a very old thread, but it seemed silly to start a new one.
I was watching the 1965 movie "The Loved One" earlier, and spotted a familiar face playing the lead. Here's Robert Morse, aka. Dewey Hogg, as Dennis Barlow.

The movie's a rather strange yet enjoyable satire on the funeral business in Los Angeles. It dates from two years before "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", the Robert Morse movie which had its title parodied in his Dukes episode, "How to Succeed in Hazzard".
In "The Loved One", Robert pulls off a quite convincing English accent throughout, although a brief attempt at what I took to be Scots isn't as good. There's quite a list of well-known co-stars, including Rod Steiger, Milton Berle, James Coburn, Sir John Gielgud, Roddy McDowall and a cameo for Liberace as a casket salesman. Additionally, Lionel "When they met...it was moider" Stander plays a newspaper staff writer masquerading as an advice guru, and Paul Williams (Little Enos in SATB) gets his first acting role as a boy genius rocket maker, despite being in his mid-20s at the time.

Boss's nephew needed some mentioned on this board alreadry.

Thanks Tom! ❤️ 

Sending prayers her way.

I've heard that. How much are they worth? 

My sister called crying today. She had to put her cat to sleep. It had cancer. She lives a long ways away and we rarely talk so I could tell she really needed her big brother. I told her about you Skipper. 

Awe. 😀 

But in my heart I am. I'd be proud to be your Uncle! 

Thanks Roger (Uncle Jesse). I know. "I ain't yer Uncle Jesse." 😂 

I haven't laughed that loud in awhile. The 3 rivers that go through Pittsburgh are all wide enough to have islands in the middle of them....Maybe I should book myself. I could be "little buddy" if we get marooned. (Although I would prefer professor) 

There is one thing I have learned about loss Skipper. 
There is an old saying "There is no right or wrong way to heal." 
Do whatever you need to do to bring yourself comfort. Everybody understands loss but there is nobody who completely understands what each individual is going through. This will not be an easy week or even month for you. At the moment it seems like there is no way you will ever get better. Go ahead and feel sorry for yourself and believe that you will never get better. That's completely normal. 
But a day will come when you will think more about who Ruby was than what her fate was. You will get better. 
We love you cousin. 

Growing up at my grandparents we watched shows like Dukes, The Golden Girls, Three’s Company, All in The Family, Mash, & Smokey and The Bandit ( not a show but love it just as much as Dukes ) too many to name so many classics. But nothing will ever compare to Dukes.

you got that right! Let's see, Six Million Dollar Man, Batman and Robin ( not the cartoon but the one with Adam West and Burt Ward), Kung Fu......
