BOlover_93 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I was just wondering.... In a few episodes of the dukes, Sheriff Rosco was replaced by someone named Brady Bird. Does anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julieduke Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Not Brady Bird it's Grady Bird who was played Dick Sargent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnne Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 James Best had a dispute with WB and left the show for a bit. Rosco was replaced several times during the leave which lasted for about 5 episodes...His replacements were....Hughie Hogg (Jeff Altman...we all know Hughie LOL)Lester Crabtree (Clifton James)Buster Moon (James Hampton)Grady Bird (Dick Sargent as Julie pointed out. He was in two episodes)What surprises me is WB actually got competent talented actors to replace Rosco and all of them fit into Hazzard pretty well (as compared the entire 5th Season Coy & Vance debacle). Despite the very good actors, none of them could hold a torch to Jimmie's Rosco protrayal. Although Dick Sargent I think could have given him a serious run for the money. LOL.

Julieduke Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Dick Sargent was the best Rosco replacement. I was watching "Officer Daisy Duke and Bo and Luke arguement over the laundry cracked me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimDuke Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yes James was doing his own personal boycott at the time because they didn't give him a decent dressing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
