An excellent suggestion, Roger ol' buddy. Lemme check my contact info for CMT and WB. We should send them some appreciation this holiday season. Seein' as we're so quick to howl if there's something we don't like, I'm sure they'll appreciate the kinds words.

I'm thrilled that Warner Bros. came out with the Dukes of Hazzard cartoon on DVD. Prior to this there were a few bootleg, bad-quality VHS copies floating around the internet. I saw the The Dukes cartoon at a friend's house from such a tape and still enjoyed it. Naturally I was one of the first in line to buy the new Dukes cartoon DVD now that it's available. My favorite ep out of the Dukes of Hazzard cartoon series is the the "Dickens of a Christmas" episode. It's just plain cute. As always, Jimmie Best does a great job with Rosco. I also enjoy the animated version of his dog, "Flash", who gets a lot more expressive in the cartoon, though he sports a hat that looks like something dragged off of "Hee Haw." I'm also floored that Warner Bros. is paying attention to the fans. This is no small thing. We've asked about this for years. And CMT put the Dukes of Hazzard back on the air. It's kinda funny, we'll all put up a hue and cry if something isn't on, or isn't available, but when it's right in front of us, we get kind of quiet. We can't be too quiet though. Warner Bros. and CMT like to know we're paying attention, too.

I'm finding this whole thread pretty interesting. Sounds like the General Lee's used in the 2005 movie may be more rare than those used in the original series, at least for the number of cars sold to the public. Any authentic Warner Bros. General Lee is a pearl of great price and a once-in-a-lifetime ownership opportunity. While contractual issues may affect how things work with the cars from the TV series, I haven't known too many General Lee owners who were simply in this for the money. It was for their own love of the car, and/or love of the show. The smiles and admiration they get from others, is a bonus. I've seen some bigger and smaller egos around these cars, but overall I've seen a rightful sense of pride and a willingness to share. Just like all these photos that WBGeneralLee has taken the time to post for us. That's what it's all about. Every General Lee owner of a replica or authenticated car has a story behind it, and we love those stories.

Not that those aren't great ideas, but that's not exactly what I'm talkin' about. The organizers of this event-in-development are much higher up. Still, the ramp idea has merit...

While we're not able to release specific information as of yet.... Something Is Cooking for 2011. That's all we can tell you and we have it straight from the horse's mouth. We're just not allowed, at this time, to tell you the horse's identity, or of the proposed location of the event, as the event itself is in the early planning stages only. Nothing is promised at this point, but we know it's being looked into by key people and that discussions are in progress. We also never steal somebody else's official thunder. When we are given the green light to share details with ya'll, we will. HazzardNet will be on top of the breaking news. We're dang good at breakin' stuff, after all. *SMASH* See? Knowing something about what goes into these things, and given that the holidays are in front of us yet, it'll be at least a couple more months before we know which way the wind is blowing. Until then, be patient, save some of your Christmas money, and as soon as we know what's going on for sure, you'll know too.

Yeah, usually with a shotgun in hand, like during the Bo vs. Luke fight in Carnival of Thrills. Nothing says family like a good brawl.

Lonely hearts section, eh? The idea has merit, but I worry about attracting creeps. I'll talk to Mufn about it. I do know of at least one couple who met on HazzardNet and ended up getting married eventually. Crazy thing is, they didn't invite any of us to the wedding or the reception. I was hoping for cake.

Man, that's cold. I got frostbite just hearin' it. 'Till the end of the year? There's gotta be another way. This is Hazzard after all..... oh, wait, I got it! Let me outta heah, and I'll make it worth your while. :icecream:

I've always been a Rosco fan, but Uncle Jesse is right there too. We all need somebody like Uncle Jesse to talk to.

Yeah, I miss her. This place has ran too smooth for too long. You could stand being a little less competent, ya know. You make me look bad.

Aw, come on Roger! You know you wanna stay. You made a great jailbird. Much better one than I do. Maybe we can work out a little deal.

Seems like my nuts are always in the fire. So I might as well add that you can write Nasty the Reindeer, MaryAnne. You're on the naughty list. Looks like you got a transfer from Santa. Might be an administrative mix-up, but I dunno, looks legit to me. Val, you need to ease back on the sugar. You're gettin' those hallucinations again. ( Roger, how do you hang around this girl without getting the sugar jitters by proximity alone?) As for you, Doc....Nasty could have an assistant, but with an outfit like that, Christmas would come early.

I think there's room in the mine for Chet now, that's what I'm getting outta this. Just kidding! Tho' it's appropriate you chime in, Roger, as you were the first victim - er, guest, of our jailhouse. Since MaryAnne is blithely ignoring this thread and trying to look busy with a creating a paper clip chain, you can offer a compromise for her consideration. Or some more paper clips. (glad the miners made it out safely!)

You can't write a letter to Nasty the Reindeer, you're one of the good kids. Nasty is for the naughty, not the nice!

Strange Visitor to HazzardNet.....gah! Then again, we've had our share of those. Strange moderators, too.

Chet, I'd be amazed if we could get through three pages before the whole thing broke down into chaos. We don't have the best track record. Reminds me of the time that MaryAnne shut down the forums for 72 hours because we couldn't play nice. You started it, though. I'm sure some equitable compromise can be reached.

(I'm mulling this one over....been a looonnnng time and my writing is pretty lame these days. Trying to see what comes to mind here.)

What I need for Christmas is a translator so I know what yer talkin' about, Daney. Meantime, I've got a feeling that Nasty the Reindeer is paying attention to the wish list. Maybe we should do a "Letters to Nasty" thang when we get closer to the holidays, so the bad kids have somewhere to send their loot list.

How about the first time you saw Bo and Luke fighting each other in an episode, like seriously mad? I always loved the Carnival of Thrills scene where Bo throws the first punch and it's on. They threw each other around pretty good, it was realistic. I had a friend who hated that scene. She couldn't stand to see them fighting. The scene where Bo leaves home made it worse. (note, the DVD shows a lot more to this scene than what's made it on cable over the years.) Thoughts?

Did you have to go there? Didja? I thought we'd get though a thread without somebody bringing up "Strange Visitor to Hazzard" or "Robot P. Coltrane."

The irony is, that the Dukes movie would have made four times the money than it did... had they done a better job in honoring the original. S' funny, the 2005 movie just about ruined the career of anybody associated with it. Johnny Knoxville is still out there having anvils dropped on his head, but I haven't heard much out of anybody else.

The General Lee and KITT look perfectly natural together in those photos. Must be fun when y'all get together.

That's exactly what's wrong with us.

It's an expression. Like this.
