sure jr, fire away! we'll be sure to read it too!

We liked this episode too. Some say "Luke's Love Story" is the "Luke is a jerk" episode, but he ain't nearly the jerk in that one that he is in this one! My goodness, if Tom wasn't already cast as Luke Duke, he'da made one heck of a great villian. That look in his eyes just made you want to shudder. eeeee <sudders> Oh yeah, and Bo certainly did show a lot of growing up, teaming up with Daisy as well as Enos when Luke was in trouble. And I liked Bo's line, "Sorry about this cousin, but it's for your own good" and he throws Luke over the hood. Shows Luke sliding across the hood on his head for the first time (I think).

I guess anything is possible. We knew that if they got caught, it was 2 years for breaking probation, but figured their sentence was 10 years of being ON probation, as it lasted the entire series and presumably before.

Okay, we all know Bo and Luke are on probation...for the whole series...even before the series started (Happy Birthday General Lee)...so how long was their sentence? Are they on probation for life? How serious is getting caught with moonshine that you're on probation for like...10 years? Were they still on probation during the reunion? Did they ever say when they got off? Just wondering.

Oooh, oooh. We have a great idea for a scene in this new movie. Enos goes into the Boar's Nest without the moustache and sees Daisy working there with brown hair. She walks up to him and they both gasp. Daisy: Enos! You shaved! Enos: Daisy! You dyed your hair? Daisy: Do you like it? Enos: Possum on a gum bush! Daisy: Possum on a...wha? They never let him say his classic line! At least Boss called him a dipstick. Rosco (the one with addled brains after an accident of some sort) can start calling him a dipstick. There can be a scene too where Bo is unable to drive for some reason and Luke has to and Cooter is dragging Bo away from it. Bo: NO! It's mine I tell you! He's MINE! Luke: For the last time! We are CO-owners of this car. Just because I'm not so OBSESSED... Bo: This isn't obsession....it LOOOOVE! Cooter: You SO need to get a life. And let's have Uncle Jesse be a little more fatherly please. We like the idea of a movie showing how the boys got on probation. And Dolly would make a good Lulu and could do a little singing too.

Um, is there a moderator out there that can inform us as to why the chat room is down? I know no one's been in there lately, but we can't get in if we can't open the door. Hello?....somebody?...anybody?

we just thought of something. I had to drive the car after Jam had and she's a couple inches taller than me, so naturally I had to move the seat up. I couldn't help but think later, "Did Luke constantly have to move the seat up after Bo had driven the General? Did Bo have to keep moving it back? Could Luke even reach the pedals after Bo had driven? Or do race cars like that keep the seats in one position and the drivers just have to deal with it?" Seems like a trivial thing, but just one of those everyday occurances that you wonder if the Dukes ever had to deal with.

Bo and Ginny came down on the other side of the creek with a BANG! Ginny laughed and Bo let out another YEEE HAAAW! Ginny: Oh that was fun! Can we do it again? Bo: Not today darlin'. Besides, I think somebody up here wants to race. Another car appears on the road. A small, scruffy man is driving it and grins over at Bo. Bo: Howdy Jeb! Nice to see you leave the woods for once in your life! Jeb: IdontneedanylipfromyouBoDuke! Ginny: What'd he say? Bo: Betcha I can beat ya to the crossroads. Jeb: Yeron! Jeb's car takes off ahead of them. But the old blue runner isn't the same as Black Tillie and Bo manages to pass him right before the crossroads, where both cars stop. Bo: All right Jeb. You owe me a beer! Jeb: AllrightIllgetyouonelaterBoDukejusthopeIdonttellJesse youwasracinhiscar. Bo: You wouldn't! The other man grins and drives off and Bo laughs. Ginny: Uh Bo? What'd he say? Bo: Well...one one hand, he owes me a beer. But then again, he knows Jesse don't like me racin' Black Tillie. So we're pretty much even. Ginny: Who was that? Bo: Oh him? That was Jebediah Strate. He lives up in the woods and no one sees him much. But he's one heck of a driver! Too bad he ain't gotta better car, or he mighta had a chance. Ginny: Ain't no car faster than Black Tillie! Bo: You got that right. And they take off for home.

PEOPLE WILL SAY WE’RE IN LOVE Meanwhile, Enos has been told to stake out the farm in case Bo and Luke come back. As he does, Daisy comes out to do laundry. Enos tries to be discreet, but Daisy sees him anyway. Daisy: <sings> Don’t stand and spy on me Don’t chase my car too much Don’t stand and smile at me People will say we’re in love Don’t say you’re just doing your job Don’t say you can’t tell me why Don’t grin with that gleam in your eye People will say we’re in love Don’t start being sweet to me Rosco’s upset with you enough Don’t say it has to be this way People will say we’re in love Enos: <sings> Don’t try distracting me Don’t run me in the creek Don’t kiss me on the cheek People will say we’re in love Don’t wear those shorts and heels Don’t wear your shirt to low You know what that does to me People will say we’re in love Don’t flash those eyes at me Rosco’s upset with me enough Don’t say it has to be this way People will say we’re in love.

Don't you worry honey. I'll be halfway to 50 this year and I am not married, don't have kids, ain't dating nobody, nor do I have a "real" job. I did last year, but just temporarily as I'm raising money to do missionary work. It'll come to me too one of these days. But for now I guess I can just sit back...and dream about Bo Duke.

You're Welcome. You wouldn't be the first going crazy on here with trying to remember "which episode was it?" We get a lot of that.

Do you mean hubcaps? There was an episode, called Big Brothers Duke, we think, where Bo and Luke are big brothers to a teenage boy who stole the General Lee. The same boy steals a bunch of hubcaps and stashes them in the General's trunk and the Dukes discover them right before being chased by Rosco. They later make the boy replace the hubcaps while distracting Enos, who's filling out a report on the stolen hubcaps.

They just showed this episode again and we quite enjoyed it...well...except for the stunts. They obviously were cutting back by this time and started using miniatures. And it doesn't have Enos in it, but you just have to assume he was in school or something at the time (Jam: Oh Amanda will you get over it!) It does give some background though and we liked that. If Bo was right out of high school, and Luke out of the Marines, that would make Luke about 4 years older than Bo. We assume Daisy's somewhere between them agewise. You also have to assume that this took place after Rosco lost his pension and "went corrupt" and also after Bo and Luke got caught running shine and were put on probation. We're assuming they got caught right after Luke got back from the Marines as someone on probation probably wouldn't be allowed in...would they? So the boys might've gotten the General fairly soon after they got caught (they probably wouldn't have been caught if they had the General now would they?) A very insightful episode. Pity the stunts were lame...sigh...pity.

Yeeee Haaaaa! We get our Enos back! Okay, okay, at a heavy price, but this means they'll probably release seasons 6 and 7 too right? Wooo Hooo! Thanks for the link. Someone else posted about the news but forgot the link!

We agree. Yeee Hawww! But uh...where's the link?

Thank you. We were born in Oklahoma, though we live in Kansas now (and we say Kansas is THE most boring state in the Union). Know why it's so windy in Oklahoma? Because Kansas sucks (a joke I heard in college from a friend from Tulsa). Anyhow, here's installment #2. THE SURRY WITH A FRINGE ON TOP Luke: Anyhow, we’re gonna be late. Bo: Keep your shirt on. I know a short cut. Luke: Oh no, not another one of your short cuts. They cut cross country and show up, only a minute late, at Cindy Lou Moffet’s house. Cindy Lou: There you are. Bo: Well, come on Cindy Lou. We gotta drop Luke off in town to meet up with his girl. Luke: Climb on in. They take off. Bo: <sings> Don’t you love just ridin’ in the General? Riding along with me in the General? You and me and Luke in the General With the flaaaag on top. Now all we do is find Luke a lady Drop him off and go where it’s shady You and me in a nice place that shady Where the time just stops In the bright orange General With a flag on the top!

According to this site, yesterday was Sonny Shroyer's birthday! Happy Birthday! (one day late) According to this site, he was born in 1935. Is that right? That'd make him 70 now! Boy, he looks good for 70.

For those broadway fans out there! Go Tom Wopat! OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING Bo and Luke are driving along in the General. Bo: <sings> There’s a bright golden gleam on the General There’s a bright golden gleam on the General He runs fast and high and soars through the skyyyy Luke: <sings> While red and blue gumballs are winking their eyes. Bo: Ding dang it Rosco. Luke: Don’t just sit there! Lose him! Rosco: Oooh, we got ‘em now Flash! Flash: Woof. Rosco: <sings> Oh what a beautiful morning khee khee Oh what a beautiful day gkuh gkuh I’ve got a beautiful feeling This time they won’t get away! Meanwhile, Cooter is on his way back from a job. Cooter: <sings> And I see the General flying And Rosco’s patrol car is dying When the Dukes have to flee, it means business for me! I might as well follow behind just to see! Bo and Luke make a wide turn and Rosco goes into the pond. Bo and Luke: <sing> Oh what a beautiful morning! Oh what a typical day! Rosco: <sings> I’ve got a bad sinking feeling… Cooter: <sings> The Duke boys have gotten away. Rosco: Cooter! Don’t just stand there! Get me out of here! Cooter: Sure thing Rosco. Cooter tows him out while hearing the Dukes sing again. There’s a bright golden gleam on the General… Rosco: Now they know the General Lee ain’t gold. Cooter: Rosco, how many words do you know that rhyme with orange? Rosco: Oooh, good point. This has been Jamanda's random poetry corner. Tune in next time to see a Duke's version of SURREY WITH A FRINGE ON TOP.

Lily: You know? You never did take me on that date. TJ: <fidgeting> Well uh...I didn't think you wanted me to. Lily: What should that matter? You won the bet and I owe you a date. TJ: But a date ain't no fun if yer date don't wanna be there. Lily: Well who says I wouldn't want to be there? TJ: You did. Lily: Oh I did not. Maybe I implied it but...shoot...you're just like my dad. TJ: I am? Lily: Yeah. You know how long he waited around for Mom before she finally settled down? It must've been something like...ten years or so. TJ: Yeah I heard that. My dad told me how thrilled everybody was when they finally got married. But how is that like me? Lily: Don't you play dumb with me. You're waiting me out. TJ: <grins slightly> Well...I guess was... Lily grinned and looked at him. TJ: So does this mean I don't have to wait anymore? Lily: Well... At that moment, a light flashed into the hole. A familiar smiling face looked down at them. Cletus: Sheriff! I found them! Over here!

Back in town, Ginny was busy explaining to Bo and Madison what had happened. "That's nothing new," Bo told her calmly. "Did they make out okay?" "Jesse's taking Austin and Dan to the doctor," Ginny panted. "Sam and Matt put the fire out." "I'll meet Jesse over there," said Madison. "You two can take these home." "Yes ma'am," said Bo. "Oh uh, Ginny? I'll drive." Ginny frowned, but handed him the keys. They took off in Black Tillie while Madison made her way across the street to her car. On the way there, she overheard voices at the cafe. She hid around the corner to listen. "But J.D.," someone was saying. "How did you know it was the Duke's still that blew up?" "Because I left my lighter there," said another man. "I mean...if Jesse finds out it was my fault..." "You know I gotta investigate this," said the first. "And if I find any evidence of foul play..." "Rosco," wimpered the other man. "You wouldn't turn in your dear friend...would you?" "Look JD," said the first. "It's only if I find evidence...but I gotta be fair..." "I know, I know," said the other. "Someday, I'm gonna regret telling you these things. If I wasn't so hung up on your fat sister..." "Look JD," said the first. "I'll do what I can. But you know my duty comes first." "I know Rosco," said the other. "But someday I'll be running this town and then I'll get to tell you what your duty is." "JD," said the first. "Keep dreaming." Madison peeked around the corner and wasn't surprised to see JD Hogg, a good friend of Jesse's, talking to the deputy, Rosco P. Coltrane. It was well known that JD and Rosco were good friends, despite being a ridgerunner and a smokey, mostly due to JD courting Rosco's sister. Madison grinned to herself, wondering if she should tell Jesse what she overheard.

Luke: Uncle Jesse, I hate to ask but, can we borrow the pickup? Jesse: Well...uh...keys are in it...but... Luke: Thanks Uncle Jesse (runs off) Jesse: Oh...if they weld them doors shut...

When the smoke appeared, the old man jumped up. Old man: Go on git! Lily, Lucas, and Tommy took it as a cue for escape and got! They tore out of the house and into the woods, where TJ joined them. Lily was about to ask where he had come from when they fell into a pit. Lily: Oh great. A revenuer trap! You guys okay? Tommy: I'm okay. Lily: Where's Lucas? TJ: He's up there. Lily: Lucas! Go get Dad. And here...take Tommy. Lily and TJ hoisted Tommy up. TJ: My bike is at the bottom of the hill. Lucas nodded and he and Tommy took off. TJ: I am such an idiot. Lily: As I recall, you just managed to get two kids away from a crazy old man with a gun. TJ: While landing us in a revenuer trap. I shouldn't have followed the trail. Should've gone right to the sheriff. Lily: Will you stop whining about what you should've done and realize what you did do? You got us away from our crazy granddad. TJ: Your...what? Lily: Yeah, he's our grandfather. The big guy who kidnapped us is our Uncle. TJ: <scratching his head> But...they can't be Dukes... Lily: They're not...they're Strates. TJ stares in unbelief as Lily sits down. Lily: They disowned Dad when he went to police school. Rufus used to beat him up. I think my grandmother was nice, but she died. TJ: <sitting next to her> I...I had no idea...is it kidnapping if you're related? Lily: Oh yeah. We were taken across state lines without our parents consent. I hope Dad throws the book at 'em while giving you a medal. TJ: I didn't do anything...I'm an idiot... Lily: Oh will you stop putting yourself down like that. Lily could barely stop herself. She realized she sounded just like her mother. TJ: Some hero I am. Lily: Who says you gotta be the hero? Haven't you heard any of the old stories? TJ: Sure. My dad rattles 'em off like yours does. Lily: Who was always the hero in those? TJ: Bo and Luke. Lily: Was my dad ever a hero? TJ: Well... He thought hard, but couldn't really think of anytime that Enos was the hero of one of the old stories. Even when he had done something, it was because Bo and Luke had helped. Lily: Dad was never the hero. He makes out like an idiot in most of those stories. But he tells them anyway. TJ: Why? Lily: <shrugs> I dunno. He just does. TJ: So I should tell my children and grandchildren how I smoked you guys out of a house and right into a revenuer trap? Lily: Well...if I were you I'd exaggerate a bit...maybe say you rescued us from a mountain lion on the way. They both laughed and to TJ's surprise, Lily rested her head on his shoulder.

Are we correct to assume Madison Rose Duke is a girl? I've heard Madison used for both girls and boys names, but Rose points to a female. Just wanted to make sure before posting again.

Shoot, I watch Dukes before bed all the time and I don't have dreams like that. Maybe I'll try the spaghetti, except I always have to get the parmesan cheese for Jam. She got up to get some once and tripped over the table (or the dog, we're not sure) and managed to break her leg. We've gotten the p-cheese for her ever since.
