  1. Flash was just one dog. It was James Best's idea that Rosco should have a police dog and the producers thought he meant a doberman or a German Shepherd but Jimmy Best thought Rosco should have a dog that reflected Rosco, a Basset Hound. Flash was found at an animal shelter and was actually fairly sick and they had to nurse her back to health while she was trained by Alvin Mears, who also owned her.

    In the show, she was originally called a "he" but it was later changed to "she" to reflect the real gender of the dog. It's not unlike Col Potter's horse in MASH going from "he", when Radar gave it to him, to a mare named "Sophie" People just generally call animals "he" until they find out for sure, like Rosco's double did in "Too Many Rosco's" and had to be corrected by Daisy.

    Much of Flash's history is cleared up on some of the special features of the box sets (forget which season/either 3 or 4).

  2. Ol' Flash is a pure-bred Basset Hound, wrinkles and all. In one episode, she gets switched with a prize winning Basset Hound and Enos says, "Possum on a gumbush Mr. Hogg. You ever hear of an open season for Basset Hounds?"

    We have a Basset Hound mix who looks like Flash, but with shorter ears and no wrinkles.

  3. Howdy ya'll,

    We just read in our local newspaper that the Sheriff's dept. of our small town is gettin' whole new ve-hi-cles! Seems they ran too many into the pond. Just kidding, actually the old ones have over 100 thousand miles on 'em. Musta had 'em a long time to get that many miles in a small town like this.

    Anyhow, the interestin' part is what they're gettin'. Four new Crown Victorias and 2...hold on to your hat now...2006 DODGE CHARGERS! Dukes better stay outta our county boy! They'll give 'em a run for their money. The highway goes from 65 to 55 to 50 in less than a 1/4 mile coming into town, so watch out if you come visit.

    As for the old cars, if they can't trade 'em in there's been some rumors about E-Bay. So if anyone wants an old smokey car to make over into Hazzard 1 and 2, keep an eye out. We'll keep you posted.

    Over and gone.

  4. As much as we dislike the absence of Bo and Luke, Coy had some pretty good lines that I'm picking out. (Still looking for Vance to have any)

    Coy: I can't get shot! I have a hot date tonight!

    Oh, we did find one for Vance.

    Vance: (up a telephone pole) I'm not going anywhere Enos. But you better get after Coy. He's getting away.

    Any of ya'll find any more lines that would have been a lot better/funnier if attributed to Bo n' Luke?

  5. We usually don't go for Jim Carrey movies but this was a good one and we just gotta ask this pressing question.

    The guy who plays Mr. Falk, the lady's lover who's gonna lie on the stand...is it just me...or does he look a lot like Vance Duke? Did Christopher Mayer play this role? We looked it up on movies.com and it said "Chip Mayer". Did he use a different name? Say it isn't so Vance, say it isn't so!

  6. From Season 2

    The Runaway is great because of Bo and Luke running Daisy's car off of a cliff. However, this episode is low on your list if you like Cooter, cuz he's replaced by L.B. in this episode.

    Officer Daisy Duke is great for "Enos loves Daisy" fans, but not for Rosco fans as he's replaced by Sheriff Grady Byrd.

    Sometimes you can't even cram it into second, even if you double-clutch it.

    Season 3

    Enos Strate to the Top is good for Enos fans and is the first appearance of Flash and Miz Teasdale.

    Season 5

    Ya gotta watch Welcome Back Bo and Luke just because it was the episode true fans were waiting for.

    That's just a smattering of some of our favs.

  7. We watched Lawman of the Year and found this great line. Rosco sends Enos out to the car for Flash's doggy num-nums and Enos bumps into Boss on his way out.

    Enos: I'm on my out for some doggy num-nums.

    Boss: Oh, well I hope you like 'em better than I did when I tried them.

    Rosco tried one a few minutes later and said something like, "I wonder what they put in these things?"

    Flash seemed to like 'em though.

  8. Actually, a lot of tv shows steal plots from each other. Almost all tv shows have the "two people locked in a room together" episode among other kinds of basic plotlines that pop up in countless series...serieses...seriessss?/????...anyway. Dukes and Smallville are probably no different. I'm sure the "old girlfriend showing up" plotline is used all the time as are other things. Some plots are just so good and so flexible they can be used with any tv series.

    There was a show...I think on VH1...that had 100 elements of a good sitcom or something like that and it had a lot of the basic plots that showed up in more than one show. It's not all that surprising. Even the best of shows steal from each other.

  9. Hmmm, it's really kind of an unfair competition. Rosco was more of a major character than Enos was (Enos wasn't even included in the opening credits during the first season).

    We love Rosco's laugh and it wouldn't be Dukes without Rosco and Boss cutting it up.

    Now a more fair competition is saying like, Enos vs. Cletus or Rosco vs. Boss. Rosco and Boss were both the chief bad guys and Enos and Cletus were both the minor (but funny) dipsticks.

    We would both take Rosco over Boss. He had that laugh and those "great utterances of Rosco P. Coltrane", but then Rosco was always funnier when he had Boss to play off of.

    We'd take Enos over Cletus, mostly because he adds the romantic struggle with Daisy. But then Cletus was funnier in a lot of ways cuz he was dumb and cubby. Too cute! Enos was naive and honest while Cletus was just kinda dumb and caught in the middle cuz he wanted to be honest but he was also a Hogg.

  10. HEY! At least she had the library as a last resort! Our sister works at one. Library computers would be great to checking Hazzardnet, as it's a good clean family site. Some nicer libraries let you rent videos and DVDs and might even have the Dukes available. Maybe.

    So don't diss the libraries or we're gonna make a citizens arrest!

  11. If they did do another one, they could show everyone having kids and the kids causing trouble. I agree, Enos and Daisy need to get married at some point (maybe say they elope and return to Hazzard) and have kids. And why isn't Lulu in the reunion? She's still around I think.

  12. This is just a theory, but I do know that John Schnieder owns a General Lee (Tom Wopat does not) so maybe John was driving his own car. Just a theory though. Maybe Tom didn't want to drive so he could make fun of John's driving hee hee.

  13. I think there was a record-breaking jump across a river, the one they show in the opening credits, but I forget which episode it originally appeared it. I know they re-played it in "Happy Birthday General Lee" and supposedly it was the first jump it ever made. I think that was the longest. I dunno about the highest. Anyone else know?

  14. We are true "Daydream Believer"s (and avid fans of the Monkees who covered that song :D ) and while we have already done over 10 ways Enos and Daisy should have gotten married, we will certainly ransack our brains for the latest edition specifically for Single's Awareness Day...oh, I mean...(grimaces) Valentines Day. We are not bitter...nor are we ever sarcastic.

    We also appreciate your specific ground rules (esp. rule #2). We've seen too many Harry Potter fan-fics go in a scary direction.

  15. This is the greatest song ever! Makes me laugh every time.

    The Mississippi Squirrel Revival

    Ray Stevens

    Well, when I was a kid I'd take a trip every summer down the Mississippi

    To visit my granny in her antebellum world

    I'd run barefooted all day long climbin' trees free as a song

    And one day I happened to catch myself a squirrel

    Well, I stuffed him down in an old shoe box, punched a couple of holes in the top

    And when Sunday came I snuck him into Church

    I was sittin' way back in the very last pew showin' him to my good buddy Hugh

    When that squirrel got loose and went totally berserk

    Well, what happened next is hard to tell

    Some thought it was heaven others thought it was hell

    But the fact that something was among us was plain to see

    As the choir sang "I Surrender All" the squirrel ran up Harv Newlan's coveralls

    Harv leaped to his feet and said, "Somethin's got a hold on me", Yeow!

    Chorus

    The day the squirrel went berserk

    In the First Self-Righteous Church

    In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula

    It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival

    They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!

    Well, Harv hit the aisles dancin' and screamin'

    Some thought he had religion others thought he had a demon

    And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his Fruit-Of-The-Looms

    He fell to his knees to plead and beg and the squirrel ran out of his britches leg

    Unobserved to the other side of the room

    All the way down to the amen pew where sat Sister Bertha better-than-you

    Who'd been watchin' all the commotion with sadistic glee

    But you should've seen the look in her eyes

    When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs

    She jumped to her feet and said "Lord have mercy on me"

    As the squirrel made laps inside her dress

    She began to cry and then to confess to sins that would make a sailor blush with shame

    She told of gossip and church dissension but the thing that got the most attention

    Was when she talked about her love life and then she started naming names

    Chorus

    The day the squirrel went berserk

    In the First Self-Righteous Church

    In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula

    It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival

    They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!

    Well seven deacons and the pastor got saved,

    Twenty-five thousand dollars was raised and fifty volunteered

    For missions in the Congo on the spot

    Even without an invitation there were at least five hundred rededications

    And we all got baptized whether we needed it or not

    Now you've heard the bible story I guess

    How he parted the waters for Moses to pass

    Oh the miracles God has wrought in this old world

    But the one I'll remember 'til my dyin' day

    Is how he put that Church back on the narrow way

    With a half crazed Mississippi squirrel

    Chorus

    The day the squirrel went berserk

    In the First Self-Righteous Church

    In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula

    It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival

    They was jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!

  16. Correct! It was written by Mark Lowry, who is widely known for his parodies of contemporary Christian songs (My Face in this World, I Can Eat it All).

    Amanda was happy to find a Waylon Jennings CD in her stocking (actually in a paper bag next to her stocking since it wouldn't fit) and Jam got a Beach Boys CD (which did fit since she has a bigger stocking). Really like it that the Waylon CD has the full version of "Good Ol' Boys" on it. Mom hadn't heard the extra verse before and thought it was hilarious.

    I'm a good ol' boy.

    I know my mama loves me

    But she don't understand

    They keep showing my hands

    And not my face on TV

    Amanda also got 2 very funny Ray Steven's CD's, which is good since she lost her cassette tape. All together it was a very nice Christmas morning.

  17. Jam and I are going to a Singles dance with our older sister Deb (who's on the dance committee and makes us help set up) so we can act crazy and do the two-step. It's a lot of fun, especially when Amanda does her imitation of Olivia Newton-John for the Grease medley. No drinking at this dance (sponsered by Topeka Christian Singles) so it's all sparkling grape juice or cider and lots of food and balloons falling at midnight. Oh yeah, and the Chicken dance and hokey-pokey too. Then spending the night with our sister (after cleaning up at the dance) and spending the next day watching parades and eating black-eyed peas (yuck) that Mom says will bless you with earning money in the new year. Oh well, at least it's not cabbage. We never recovered from the time she tried that. House has never smelled the same.

    Happy New Year y'all

  18. To the tune of "Home on the Range" (the Kansas state song)

    Ahem

    Oh give me a site

    Where the URL's right

    And we all can talk about Dukes

    With fanfics galore

    Forums and more

    And you too can be married to Luke

    Home on Hazzardnet

    It's a website that's hard to forget

    Who needs searches or blogs?

    We got Coltranes and Hoggs!

    And no one's beaten the General yet!

    This has been Jamanda's random poetry corner. Tune in next time to hear Boss say, "ROSCO! WHY IS THERE A HIPPOPOTOMUS IN THE BOOKING ROOM!" Ooops, wrong song.
