May 13, 201016 yr I sure wish I look as good as he does when I turn 90(for some reason, every time I watch an episode he just never seems to age)
May 13, 201016 yr LOL Roger! Yeah...he sure looks great for being 90 - glad to hear I'm not the only one to picture the Dukes the same age of the series!
May 14, 201016 yr Hey since we're on the subject, whenever I think of the stars getting older, for some reason the song Forever Young comes to mind. Which is what they will be as long as we have the DVD's.
May 9, 201115 yr Happy birthday Uncle Jesse (May 11) You'll always be my hero. While I'm on the subject of my hero it seems as if I've been giving him credit for something he didn't deserve. I always said that he should be credited for inventing ethanol in 1979 on "High Octane" but my wife just saw an episode of the Waltons where Jim-Bob and a moonshiner named Yancy invented it. Yancy said "It's better to have drunk cars than drunk drivers." The episode was called "The Beau" and it was from 1978.
May 9, 201115 yr ...Jim-Bob and a moonshiner named Yancy invented it.Roger, did you forget that Yancy Peckinpaugh is an alias of Uncle Jesse (Route 7-11)?. So maybe he did invent ethanol after all .
May 10, 201115 yr Very impressive Hoss! I remembered the last name but not the first. What a coincidence! Or is it? It makes me wonder who the writers were.
May 1, 201313 yr May is the birthday month of my hero. I always celebrate Uncle Jesse's BD on May 11th. He is...and always will be...a big part of my life.
May 1, 201412 yr 10 more days until my hero's birthday. I was watching "Repo Men" on CMT and realized that I only have about 5 or 6 more years to go until I'm the same age Jesse was when it was filmed. Kinda strange considering I'm the exact same age as John Schneider. In fact he was born 7 days before me. We both just turned 54.
May 11, 201412 yr Well Roger...here it is one in the morning and I was thinking I was going to be the first one to wish Denver a happy birthday...only to see that you beat me to it by ten days. I guess it pays not to wait to the last minute to do so. LOL.Happy birthday Denver!!!!!!!!!!!
May 8, 201511 yr As most of you know I post all the stars birthdays here but I don't really celebrate them but one. That one exception is May 11th. I don't make a cake or sing happy birthday or anything like that but I do catch myself thinking about 'ole Jesse all day on the 11th. It's not so much that he's made a biigger impact on my life that any of the other stars....it's that Jesse is my future. He's the man I'm going to be someday. He's my hero. I don't know how much Denver Pyle was like Jesse but it doesn't matter. What matters is that his acting gave me a mentor to look up to, and an old timer worthy of modeling my life around. I am, after all, only 4 years away from being Denver's age (59) in 1979 when Dukes first came out so, Lord willing, I'll live long enough to grow a white beard. Thanks Denver.

Well, now I'm only 3 years away. Happy birthday Uncle Jesse. We love you.
May 12, 20179 yr I just got done watching "Days of Shine and Roses." Denver was born 97 years ago today.
