    I wouldn't know where to begin. If I could only pick one it would be the Lucinda Meadows quote that is my signature. Do you have a favorite Skipper?

    Skipper Duke reacted to RogerDuke in Bloopers   
    I try not to look for bloopers because I never like to find fault with perfection but the one I always laugh at is at the end of "Follow that Still" where cigarettes are being thrown out of the APC when nobody is in it.

    Like the Boar's Nest, the Duke Farm got moved from the Golden Oak Ranch to Lake Sherwood to Valencia Oaks. I think that the last screen appearance I've found so far is a 1988 episode of Murder She Wrote (see earlier in this thread). It's certainly not there any more.

    Your idea is a good one Skipper. It would be a fun change of pace to have a County Commissioner who is nice and honest. It would take getting used to but would be nice. The key to making it work would be getting the new younger Dukes to have the same appeal as the ones did from 40 years ago. If they could pull that off they'd have a winner. Of course another challenge would be the flag. While I would love a return to the Confederate Flag, corporations who advertise on commercials would not permit it. Would Hazzard fans accept an American flag on the orange 1969 Charger? Some would and some would not. I'd be pretty mad that the Confederate flag was taken off but two good things would happen. Number one is that the American flag is something to be proud of as well. Number two is that the Dukes tradition would start up for another generation of fans. Sure, there are young kids today who are Dukes fans because their parents and grandparents handed the tradition down to them but a new Dukes television series would open up the world again to the Dukes Hazzard. Still, the loss of Southern fans who are loyal to the Confederate Flag would be troubling. Despite the wider appeal of the show, Southerners were the heart and sole of the original fan base and have already had too much of their culture taken away. It would be interesting to poll them and see how they would feel.

    I thought the two reunion shows were terrible. I could be wrong but it just seemed like they were written by writers who were simply writing for a paycheck and weren't real fans of the show. I think it would ppssible to make a reunion show or even new series and make it work. When I saw how successful bringing back Dallas was I believe it could be done with Dukes if they could get stars back from the original like they did with Dallas. The problem with that would be if one of them passed away like Larry Hagman. That would be tough on Dukes fans. I would rather see it left like it was after season 7. Everybody is still alive and every day is a happy ending. Still, with my help as a senior consultant a new series could work. ....if it stuck to the spirit of the original.

    You sure have made a big impact in a week. Actually, you made a big impact after your first day. Your enthusiasm for the Dukes of Hazzard is very impressive. We're happy and lucky to have you cousin.

    For what it is over all it's a good game but i wish you could have bo and luke get out of the car, have towns folk walking arount town square, see cooter in or around the Hazzard Garage be able to jump creeks and crash through public safety billboards like on the show. Also have a two player mode so you can be chashed by a Patrol car for more than five minutes and some dialogue and music from the show would make it much better.

    The cigarettes being thrown from the APC in 'Follow That Still' and the head popping up between the seats before Daisy's yellow car goes over the cliff in 'The Runaway' must be the two best-known bloopers in Dukes.

    I would feel the same way. I thought about going to the original farm in Georgia (the grandson of the owner used to be a member here) and getting a bucket of dirt and spreading it all over my garden. That way I could say I'm farming the same land as the Dukes.

    Haha I agree it's a superfan thing to do but it's definitely high on my bucket list. How cool would it be to find an orange chunk of charger hidden in the dirt or maybe a prop of some kind. I bet Tom Sarmento's garage location would be a prime place to explore I know a push bar was found but I'd be just as happy with something small lol  Even just being there would be like walking on hallowed ground to me.
    Thanks for the warm welcome you guys I've lurked here for years and have enjoyed the site so I figured it was high time I join in the conversations. Look forward to my time here! :D

    I feel like it was shot specifically for the intro for Denver to do his "point his finger behave boys" routine to Coy and Vance like he did with Bo and Luke in the original intro. I too can't remember that scene in any actual episode

    Well spotted Brad. The 'slammer' car is a red '61 Mercury:

    The car Luke is driving in the close-ups is clearly an orange '69 Charger (sounds familiar ):

    I find it ironic that two movies that I've bought recently have father and son now. Moonrunners is great if you haven't seen it wait till you see what the Mule's name is now, and James Mitchum Plays "Grady Lee Hag" and in Thunder Road it stars his father "Robert Mitchum great western star.

    I'm not huge into video games. I probably will get more into them when winter gets here but I guess I'll have to do without a Dukes game. Since we have a Nintendo Classic and Wii and might get a PS4 I really don't need a fourth system. Besides, like most video games it would probably take me forever to get good at Dukes. It really is hard to teach an old dog new tricks!
