Hello from Tennessee!

[Breaker1]

Yes sir RogeDuke! I will do that. I have not had the chance look around much. I was tempted to comment on a couple of threads but I didn't because they were old. On some of the Mopar forums that I visit, they seem to discourage that, at least that's my take on it. Thanks for the nudge.

I see wise ol' uncle Jesse on your avatar, is he your favorite character?

I will get to the rest of you questions one of these days. Sorry for the delay.

.....Ok, back to your questions RogerDuke. 

I don't have a favorite season, scene. or episode. I love them all. Who else has that much video footage of their favorite car other than 1969 Dodge Charger fans? Not to mention all the other Mopar cars and trucks. I guess I tend to shy away from the Coy & Vance episodes, just because they're not Bo & Luke. When I was little, I was devastated when Bo & Luke left, I still watched every episode in anticipation of them coming back. It was a very long and painful wait. But then they finally returned, I mean, the angels were singing and heaven was shining down on me again!!! 

The only cast member I have met is John, which is sad because I don't live very far from Cooters Place in Pigeon Forge TN. Some of the others show up there once in a while. With our schedule, It's just difficult to get there when they are there.

As far as toys go, I do still have some of them. And I have some stuff that I got from John. When I was a kid I was loaded with Dukes stuff, I had the bedding set, curtains, waste basket, tv tray, cereal bowl set, dinner set, pj's, wallet, watch, belt buckle, tee shirts, activity books, posters, model cars, and countless toys. I wish I still had all that now.

Man, now I need to watch some Dukes!!!!

Yep....but Enos was my favorite when the show was airing. I was thrilled when he got his own series. He will be 90 this year. (the same day my puppy Lulu will turn 1).  Still lives in Valdosta Georgia. I met him twice.

I sure wish I could have met Denver. He became my favorite character when I got older. He makes a great role model for men when they start to get older....great patriarch skills. Hard to believe that Bo will be 65 in April. That's the same age Denver was in season 6. And Denver had a great work ethic. Him and Boss were the only 2 in every episode.

Sunny has his own series? I'm not up on modern shows, I don't like most of them so I don't go looking.

Yes, uncle Jesse is a great character. Denver was an amazing guardian over the actors. He and James trained them well and taught them some good lessons about life. That's  gold right there.

'Enos' was a one-season Dukes spin-off in 1980/81 which saw Sonny's character become a police officer in LA. This is why he missed a season or so of Dukes. Some episodes are on YouTube, although the ones I've seen are VHS rips (don't expect DVD quality).

Welcome to the HazzardNet Breaker1 This is exciting. You sound like a real Superfan. We are happy and lucky to have you. 

I also watched the show when it first came out. I was 19. In fact, I am 7 days younger than Bo. We look forward to hearing more from you! 

Hmmmm...and I was 14!.......

I retired at 60. April will make 5 years. Time sure flies. When I go back to visit friends at work it feels like I never left.

Oh my gosh! That joggs my memory, but I barely remember that. I have not seen or heard of that since it aired. Wow.
