MonacoMan Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Love this episode, and I wish Jerry Rushing had had a recurring role as Ace, and shown up in more episodes...considering he basically was DOH, as they created the show mainly based off his real-life story! But, the supposed Richard Petty wreck that Bo & Luke buy from Ace, is said to have been referred to as “Lee 1”...as it was originally a Charger turned into the General Lee—and was supposedly the very first jump on the show, in the Pilot. Which is said to be the jump over Rosco, in front of the Oxford College in Georgia, and forever included in the show’s opening. It totaled the car (obviously ) and later was repainted & used as the wreck in this episode. The car was later found & rescued from a junk yard. The remains were sold multiple times over the years. However, the current owner is the one who finally had it totally restored to a General Lee. But, in my opinion this is somewhat inaccurate...it wasn’t the very first jump on the show! The very first jump was literally in the opening scene as the show premiered, and the General & Rosco jump over the railroad tracks. The “college” jump was later in the episode. However, perhaps it was the very first jump filmed, and that’s what they mean?

The "actual" 1st jump is indeed the college. But not the 1st that we see. We see Elm St. 1st. Garrett Duke and Hobie Hartkins 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Duke Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Y'all are so smart on all the nitty gritty information. There needs to be more time in the day so I can go back and watch it again. It's been forever since I actually watched a show. *GASP* But I loved the whole Richard Petty reference. LOL. Y'all do realize I got my love for NASCAR from the Dukes... MonacoMan and Hobie Hartkins 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all do realize I got my love for NASCAR from the Dukes... I binge watch whatever show I’m going through (and I have tons—I want my own copies, so other than Netflix I don’t do much streaming) every night before bed. But, I’m a night-owl, so I can sometimes go through a disc a night. I’m actually currently going through Knight Rider, as a while back I got the Blu-ray set. But, DOH is always around in my house...and I watch episodes of it fairly regularly, too. I usually watch DOH in my basement family room, as that’s where I have all my memorabilia set up. I grew up with both shows, and are 2 of my all-time favorites! I really wish DOH would get a remastered Blu-ray release...but with the whole woke cancel-culture garbage over the rebel flag, I doubt it’ll ever happen. But, I’m grateful for the DVDs! floyd012010 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the DVD's just fine. It's just something more for us to buy! It's like before DVD's, I have them all on VHS. It's just like LP's vs. CD's vs. cassettes! I was just fine with my cassettes. I'd buy the LP and tape it on Cassette and then save the LP. ( I had to re-tape every now and then when the tape dropped or was eaten up.) But NOW.......ohhhhh nooo! P.S. It's ok though....I'll come back here in a little bit ( Days of Shine and Roses is finishing up) after I go to the bank, and watch some more.....I'll keep you guys updated....I know you waiting with bated breath! ....and watch some more as I enjoy Duke Day ( Friday) with my fav,. show and some adult beveriges!

But, especially with older shows, there is a definite difference between DVD & Blu-ray quality! From Knight Rider, Charlie’s Angels, Miami Vice, Magnum p.i., etc...the colors & picture quality are amazing on Blu-ray, even compared to the original DVD sets! But, how I do remember taping episodes of shows like mad, on VHS to try and get the whole show! It was fun at one time, but then became a huge pain in the butt...especially if whatever network took the show off before I got all the episodes—it took me almost 10 years & at least 2-3 different cable networks to finally get the entire Charlie’s Angels series on tape... and around that time they then started to release it to DVD, lol! Plus, if one tape got “eaten” by the VCR, or wouldn’t play right after so many years of viewing...then you were screwed! So, I am very happy with digital home video products. But, I still have my VHS tapes of my shows boxed up...I can’t get rid of them, too sentimental to me I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERE...in Hazzard, we don't have to put up with all of that! What is the deal with the “reactions”...all of a sudden I’m not allowed to leave any anymore?? I’ve never had that happen on fansites before? But, sadly yes...anything wholesome, positive, moral, American, etc...is now considered stupid and sometimes not even allowed anymore! But, Hollywood is paying the price...both figuratively & literally! A large portion of audiences are sick of the woke crap and are not watching. I’ve seen several things recently talking about Hollywood going broke...like they say, go woke go broke! But, that’s why I’m so blessed & grateful I grew up when I did, and I got to experience shows like DOH firsthand! I’m also grateful these shows have been put out on home video so I can have them forever anytime I want, regardless of the idiocy of the media & modern Hollywood.

I can't turn away from Donnie Wahlberg, so they won. HA! They made up with that and all is forgiven. LOL. I'd love to have CHiPs on DVD. I was obsessed with that show before I became re-obsessed over the Dukes of Hazzard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
