YEEEHHHAAAWWWW!!!!Hi my favorite character is Boss Hogg, would of loved to of met him.My favorite episode is either Big Daddy or no more Mr Nice Guy both have lots of Sorrell in them, closely followed is Rosco P Coltrane(James Best) both of them were so funny together, a real funny double act.

RogerDuke Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 hazzardboy7,We've had a few folks on here who's favorite character was Boss Hogg but I don't think any of them are actively posting now. It's nice to have someone here who holds Boss in such high regards. He was such a vital part of the show. So vital in fact, that the show's very existence depended on him. I never met Sorrell either but he was certainly an amazing man and an unbelievably talented actor. When you throw three veterans like Sorrell, Denver and James Best into something and combine them with three fresh exciting newcomers....add to that supporting actors like Ben Jones, Sonny Shroyer, Rick Hurst and Peggy Rae, almost any show could succeed. Dukes succeeded beyond any of the (so called) experts expectations because of Guy Waldron and all the writers, producers and stunt people....and it was the kind of entertainment people wanted. Because everybody loves the four members of the Duke family so much, we sometimes forget how vital Boss is to the show. Without him, it wouldn't have even existed.By the way, I bet another of your favorites episodes was "Baa Baa White Sheep" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerDuke Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I know how you feel about the reunion show. For me, it was too sad to see Jesse looking so bad, especially with all three of the younger Dukes gone, leaving him to himself. I suspect a writer never consulted with the fans on that show because a fan would have never left Jesse alone in that condition if they were writing a reunion show. The plot was good besides that though so I have to give the writers some credit. I cried like a baby when Rosco did a tribute to Boss on the reunion show. When I met James Best in January of 2008 I told him how hard that scene was on me. He got very emotional when I said that. If it was that rough on the fans I can only imagine how rough it was on him. By the way, James Best has been in our chat room here on the HazzardNet and has also posted stuff too. Scroll down to his forum to see some of his posts.

RogerDuke Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Wow, that is awesome. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get that? I'd sure like to get my hands on some sort of memoribilia from the show, especially Denver's. I've tried to get ahold of Denver's relatives but haven't had any luck getting any items. I did get a response from his son's secretary but she said he told her to tell me he didn't have anything available. I'm a little nervous about buying something on the internet. I'm not real trusting of computers because there's so many scammers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
