I believe Sonny Shoyer (Enos) appears as a motorcycle cop who pulls Snowman over. Maybe that's how he heard about the Dukes series. We'll have to watch that movie again.

Wow. Can you jump the creek in that?

We were wondering who aunt lavinia was. We always thought she was Uncle Jesse's wife who had passed away, but then we saw an episode where he tells Bo and Luke to go stay with her and they mention that he hadn't spoke to her in 20 years. Would she be a sister then? Doesn't Daisy wear her wedding dress when she almost marries Enos? We're so counfused.

There's an episode somewhere in which Enos falls into a car crusher and Daisy pulls him out, but he's knocked out. Then she says, "Enos, if this don't wake you up, nothing will" and she kisses him. What episode is that in? I thought it'd be an early one, but it wasn't in 1 or 2.

Balladeer: It was a good plan. And it didn't work worth a pitcher of spit! (after crashing into a pond) Bo: Hey Enos! Enos: I can't open my eyes. Tell me, what's out there? Little naked babies with harps and wings or little red guys with horns and pitchforks? Luke: How about a lap full of pond water and tadpoles? (Rosco standing on Enos's shoulders) Enos: Can I say something Sherriff? Rosco: Enos, hush! Enos: Can I say something? Rosco: Enos! Will you push?! Enos: Can I please say something Sherriff? Rosco: Enos, would you hush?! (Enos drops Rosco) Enos: That's what I was trying to tell you Sherriff. You're too heavy to keep sitting on my head like that!! Rosco: Enos, how would you like me to throw your badge in the Choctaw river with you still pinned to it!? Rosco: You got your ears on little buddy? Boss: Rosco, I'll be your little buddy when possums make love to hound dogs! Boss: And if you mess up, you'll be the dogcatcher. Rosco: I'll catch your dog, you fat little meadowmuffin.

One time we were trying to figure out what would happen if characters from Dukes were on Survivor or other reality shows. We think Enos would win since he'd make no alliances nor any promises and he wouldn't lie or back-stab anybody. Boss Hogg would be voted out first. And of course, Daisy'd be wearing a bikini. Cooter wouldn't mind being out in the wilderness since apparantly he doesn't bathe much anyway. Any other opinions?

We answered this before I think. Ben Jones wanted his character to have a beard, but the producers/directors whoever, thought Cooter should be clean shaven. So Ben Jones walked out for a while until he complied with the higher-ups. They let him keep the beard for the rest of the season and then he had to shave it. At least I think that's how it goes. Correct me if I'm wrong.

We don't watch very much, but we do like The Amazing Race! Amanda is a world traveler and can sympathize with getting through an airport in a hurry. Jam likes Survivor, but Amanda only liked it when it was set in Thailand, as she spent a summer there. Another favorite would be Whose Line is it Anyway?, one of two hit shows in which the title is a rhetorical question.

We just saw that episode. Rosco knocks the ladder down and cb's Enos. Rosco: Enos. Get over to the theatre and get Avery. He's all hung up. They certainly liked puns. It's almost as bad as when Boss wonders why no cops are "hanging around" while Enos is tied up and hung on the wall behind him.

Has anyone else realized that Enos is the only regular Hazzard county lawman who isn't related to Boss Hogg in some fashion? Rosco is his brother-in-law and Cletus is his cousin. Even one of the Rosco clones (Hughie) was Boss's nephew. We suspect that Enos got his job before Rosco went corrupt or else they wouldn't have hired him, and after Rosco got greedy, they couldn't fire him since he was too well liked. Hence why he was promoted in that one episode and wore that really ugly brown suit.

Oh there ain't nothin' in there but some supplies and Enos' comics. (of course Rosco is also seen reading comics) Enos: Tweedledum is getting away in that naked baby peanut dooley truck! Rosco: That boy ain't never gonna get the hang of this code talk. Boss: Call Enos and have him cut 'em off Rosco: Oh I can't do that. I gave him the day off. He's bass fishing. (See? Rosco is considerate enough to give Enos a day off, although he does call him in. Notice how Enos is prepared for this as he's fishing in his uniform.) Rosco: Enos, if you don't say 'Howdy Sherriff' in the next five seconds...! Enos: (tripping through the mud and grabbing the cb) Howdy Sherriff.

Jesse: (being pulled out of the General Lee) ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA TAKE THESE DANG DOORS OFF!!!! Boss: Or you will be... Rosco: The night rent-a-cop at the drive-in deli on Frontage Road. Boss: Bingo. Rosco: You owe me Boss. Boss: Rosco...I done paid and overpaid any debt I ever had to you... Rosco: When you married my fat sister. Boss: When I married your fat sister! Daisy: Well Enos, I guess you'll just have to call this one in. You disappointed? Enos: I ain't ever disappointed to see you, Daisy.

I believe he also wanted the dressing trailers to be safer.

I'd like to see that sucker try to jump the creek.

They were Cooter's cousins. Ben Jones had a dispute about his beard so they replaced Cooter for several episodes. One featured his cousin B.B. Davenport and two more L.B. Davenport. Don't ask me why they like initials or what they stand for. I just know the L is for Longstreet.

I had another moment at the high school. The kids were talking about speeding and I heard the phrase "pedal to the metal," which could be completely non-Dukes related but made me think of Dukes anyway.

It's been a while but in the episode with the evil double, they're trying to tell them apart at the end. Rosco: Well would he give you this? (hands Boss a bag of money) Boss: My money! Rosco: And would he call you (pinches Boss' cheek) his little fat buddy? Boss: AHk (pushes Rosco's hand away) NO he wouldn't! You are the real Rosco!

Bo and Luke are sitting in the county jail. Luke: I just don't believe it. Bo: Me either. How in the world did ol' Enos become a lawman? His daddy ran shine right along with ours right? Luke: Yeah he did. Which would explain how Enos was able to catch us. Bo: Yeah, he always was the crazy driver. Rosco: (coming down the stairs) Yes, they're right down here Jesse. Now they still have to report to trial in two days. Jesse: I understand Rosco. Rosco lets Bo and Luke out of the jail. They walk out with Uncle Jesse before he lets loose on them. Jesse: HOW IN TARNATION WAS HE ABLE TO CATCH YOU! Luke: He didn't Uncle Jesse! Bo: That dang deputy did. Jesse: All right then. Since when have any of them been able to catch you? Luke: Since our old pal Enos Strate done betrayed us all and went into law enforcement. Jesse: Enos Strate? Phil Strate's boy? Bo: The very same. Jesse: The big fella who kept grinnin' at Daisy but never had the guts to talk to her? Luke: That's him. Jesse: He's gone lawman. Bo: See for yourself. A patrol car drives up and Enos gets out. Jesse: I don't believe it. Luke: (sarcastic) Hey Enos ol' buddy. Enos: Hey Luke...Bo...Mr. Duke. Jesse: I don't believe it. Enos: Please Mr. Duke, I didn't want to arrest these boys. I didn't even know it was them. But I just got this job and I gotta do what the sheriff says. Bo: Apologies ain't gonna keep us out of prison. Luke: Let's go. The Dukes leave and Enos sighs and goes inside. At the Boars Nest, Bo and Luke try to explain the situation to Daisy, who unlike Uncle Jesse, is NOT surprised. Daisy: (sighs) I always knew Enos was too honest to be a ridgerunner. Bo: But a cop? Daisy: Well what else could he do? He's a crazy driver, one heck of a good shot, and too honest for his own good. Luke: I can't believe you're sticking up for him. Daisy: Well you two were breaking the law. Bo: I don't believe this...First our good buddy and now our cousin. Daisy: Oh fellas now don't be like that. Luke: Speak of the devil. Enos comes in with Rosco and J.D. Hogg. J.D.: Well, well, Bo and Luke Duke. Looks like you two got yourselves in a peck of trouble. Bo: You could say that. J.D.: Well, I'll just be seeing you two in court tomorrow. Luke: There goes any chances of a fair trial. J.D.: (scowls) Let me remind you boys, that this here new deputy caught you with the evidence fair and square. Bo: You mean that there traitor. Rosco: Now you hush! You're just jealous because he managed to outfox you! Come on Enos. They leave and Daisy shakes her head. Bo: Our own buddy. Daisy: Poor Enos. Luke: What are you feeling sorry for him for? Daisy: Didn't you see him? He couldn't even bring himself to look at us. He's downright ashamed of having to arrest you two. Bo: I'll bet he's not too ashamed to testify against us tomorrow. The next day, Bo and Luke appear in the courthouse where J.D. Hogg seems all to eager to send them up the river. Rosco and Enos are both at his side when the Duke family comes in. J.D.: All right Duke boys. You have been accused of running illegal moonshine in Hazzard county. How do you plead? Bo: (sighs) Guilty Luke: Guilty. J.D.: All right Enos. Enter a plead of guilty. Enos: Yes sir. J.D.: Now then, as Justice of the Peace of Hazzard County, it is my bounding duty to send you boys to prison. Enos: Excuse me Mr. Hogg? J.D. is a bit surprised to be interrupted. Enos: I do believe that, although these boys were arrested in Hazzard County, it is the jurisdiction of the ATF to bring in the official charges and sentencing. J.D.: Oh, yes, yes.... Enos goes over to a door and brings in Agent Roach. Luke: Now he's really done it. J.D.: All right Agent Roach. Have at 'em. Roach: Of course. Now, Mr. Duke, seeing as these boys have plead guilty as charged, you are eligible for an offer from the Federal Government. Jesse: What kind of offer? Roach: We're willing to offer these boys strict probation, and in return for their freedom, your family will no longer produce or sell illegal whiskey. Jesse: You mean, we give up making moonshine, and the boys go free? Roach: For the most part. Now they will be on probation, which means they can carry no firearms, illegal materials, and cannot leave the state without permission, among other things. Bo: But we wouldn't go to prison? Roach: No. Jesse: Well, our...craft...has been in the family for years...but these boys mean more to me than life itself so...All right. Roach: Wonderful! Now if you'll just come with me Mr. Duke... Outside the courthouse, Bo and Luke are being congratulated by Daisy and Cooter. Luke: Probation. I just don't believe it. Bo: Sure beats prison though. I'll take bows and arrows over guns any day. Cooter: That was sure close though. I mean, who'd of thought that ol' Agent Roach would let you guys off like that. Roach: (coming down the stairs) Oh don't thank me boys. Daisy: Well why not? You got them out of prison didn't you? Roach: Wasn't my idea. That new deputy that arrested you two heard about it down in Atlanta and suggested it to me. Luke: Enos? Bo: He thought of it? Roach: Not only that, but he said that if I didn't get you boys off, he'd quit and go work in another county. Now after bringing in you two, I didn't think the Sheriff would take kindly to losing such a good lawman when he just got him. Cooter: Well I'll be... Agent Roach leaves and Uncle Jesse joins the rest. They head over to the Boars Nest to celebrate. Daisy is treating them when J.D., Rosco, and Enos come in. J.D.: I just don't understand it. We had 'em. I mean we really had 'em. Rosco: Now don't worry it. With them on probation it'll be easier than ever to catch them again. Especially with the new deputy. J.D.: I certainly hope so. J.D. and Rosco go into the back room while Enos sits down by the bar. Daisy goes over to him. Daisy: (flirting) Can I get you anything stranger? Enos: (looking down) Oh no, I'm on duty right now. Luke: (puts hand on his shoulder) Go ahead Enos. It's on me. Bo: Do you still drink buttermilk ol' buddy? Enos: (grins) Well, I guess an ol' buttermilk wouldn't hurt. Daisy: Oh Enos, you ain't changed a bit. Bo: That grin certainly hasn't. Luke: Hey Enos, has uh...anything else changed? Enos just grins. Luke: Hang in there buddy. Balladeer: Well folks, that's the legend of how an old friend returned to Hazzard and kept Bo and Luke out of prison, which just goes to show, it takes a lot more than a badge to break bonds with the Dukes of Hazzard.

Here's our theory on Bo and Luke's final run: Bo and Luke are tearing down the road in the General Lee on what was to be their last run. As usual, Rosco pulls in behind them. Luke: Right on schedule. Bo: Good ol' Rosco. Luke: Better go ahead and lose him Bo. He's too honest to let us go with this load. Bo: 10-4 cousin. The general speeds up and Rosco laughs and picks up the cb. Rosco: Okay rookie. Let's see how you hold up with the real pros. I've got a couple of runners heading south on highway 124. Show me what you can do. Rosco drops back and Bo and Luke are fairly confident that they've lost him. Bo: That was almost too easy. Luke: Bo look out! Another police car comes out of nowhere and manages to run them into a ditch. The other policeman approaches the general as Bo and Luke climb out. Cop: (aims gun) All right now. Hands up. Luke: Yes sir. Cop: (nods to Bo) Open the trunk. Bo sighs and moves to the back of the general. Luke then jumps on the officer and attempts to disarm him. But the officer wrestles with him and pins his arms behind his back while aiming his gun at Bo. Cop: No tricks now. Open the trunk. Bo grimaces and opens the trunk of the General, which is loaded with ten gallons of moonshine. Cop: All right now, y'all are under arrest. As the officer take Bo and Luke to his car, he reads their rights. Cop: Ya'll have the right to remain quiet. Anything ya'll say can and will be used against ya'll in a court of law... Bo: We know. Luke: Uncle Jesse's gonna have our hides. Cop: Real sorry about this fellas. Bo and Luke sit in the back of the car while Rosco's voice crackles over the cb. Rosco: I can hardly believe it. You done passed the test! Welcome aboard Deputy Enos Strate. Bo and Luke stare at each other and then at the officer in the front seat. He looks at them sadly. Enos: Real sorry fellas. I didn't know he'd have me chasin' you. Balladeer: Well don't that just put a churn in your buttermilk?

One of Rosco's famous lines is, "Shame, shame, everyone knows your name." Does he say this line in either of the first two seasons? I don't recall hearing it when I watched the DVD.

Does anyone remember what Waylon says in Repo Men when the doberman attacks Bo? I remember it was funny, but I forget the line. I guess we'll just have to watch it again.

Jam watched the Happy Days reunion show and they did talk about American Graffitti. For some reason she thought it was a dirty movie and never saw it, but I informed her that she was misinformed. It's a great movie and actually pretty clean so I'll have her watch it some time.

also in that episode, Enos takes Rosco's lunch order. Enos: A double order of catfish, hush puppies, pickles and onions, large order of fries, and extra thick chocolate milk and two slices of pecan pie. Is that right? Rosco: Yeah, and get something for yourself Enos. Enos: You want that pie a la mode? Rosco: No Enos, I don't want it a la mode. I gotta watch my calories. Then Enos gives that classic expression to the camera and shakes his head. I dunno what diet Rosco's on but sign me up!

I work at a high school and today, two students were talking to each other and one said, "Here ya go, dipstick." After doing a double-take, I was wondering, have any of you had similar experiences where "Dukes" show up in everyday life?

I believe Rosco gets Flash at the same time Enos leaves for his own show, which is the beginning of either season 3 or 4.
