426GeneralLee Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Really......I don't even remember that episode anymore, it's been a long time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I like that episodes...one of my favorite episodes. I enjoyed the plot line and the emotions. It really showed how Boss felt about Rosco...I think. (that is if I am remembering right - it has been awhile since I last saw it) I loved the part where Bo and Luke ran into the bad guys' vehicle and the guy's side kick jumps out to confront him and Bo say something like "it takes a big man to have someone else stand up for him" (something like that - sarcastically) and the leader of the two brothers stand up to stand way taller than any of the two Duke boys! LOL. Talk about putting your foot in it...lol.Garrett Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowmufn Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I love that episode too. I remember making an audio tape of it when it aired (we didn't have a VCR then). The reunion of Rosco and his li'l fat buddy is one of the best moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Redneck Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 That was an awesome episode....One of the best for the last couple of seasons. Who would have known it would have been the last? ......It is kinda sad thinking about that it was the final one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Yes it is sad to think that was the last episode of the Dukes...but I spose it had to have ended sooner or later. Good thing is, is that it ended on a high note by having "Opening Night at the Boar's Nest" be the last episode. (Well at least I think ) Very touching episode that was wrote by none other than John Schneider! -Garrett Duke- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Fan 01 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Thats awewsome. Even though I love the DOH a lot, I'm not a whiz at trivia for it...how many years did The DOH air on television for? Or how many seasons are there total?

Dixie Lee_01 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Seven <smile> Seven seasons, from fall 1978 to spring 1985, I believe. And yeah Garrett, it was a nice high note to end on. Not an *ending* episode really, but a sometimes-happy, sometimes-funny, small bit dramatic, and emotional one, one that just implies life goes on in Hazzard... which is good. <smile> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Fan 01 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I want all 7 seasons then. I thought I heard that only the first 3 are available on dvd currently? Any known reason for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi,Would anyone be so kind as to give a summary of that last episode?What was the reunion between Boss Hogg and Roscoe all about? (someone mentioned the emotion between them) what was that all about?also why was it called opening night at the boar's nest? was it re-opened or something?thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie Lee_01 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 General Fan, the reason there are only 2 seasons out now and the third one coming in May is that they only started being released at *all* on DVD a few months ago (yay!) and they're being released one season at a time. We all just have to be patient... though I'd like to have the later ones too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie Lee_01 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Oh yikes, BradB, I can't remember *all* the details anymore right now - I recorded it (and many others) from TNN but that tape's at home, states away! But generally, there's two plots intertwined - one is about a talent show / party / etc night at the Boar's Nest in which Rosco is very excited about performing as a magician (the Dukes sing too; nice), and the other plot is some bad guys come to Hazzard to get revenge on Boss for something or other. During the show, Rosco uses Boss as a volunteer to go into his disappearing box, and Boss escapes the party by using a hidden trapdoor Rosco didn't know about. When he doesn't reappear, Rosco's really upset cause he thinks *he* made Boss disappear forever, and spends most of the rest of the episode trying to figure out how to get his buddy back. Meanwhile the bad guys have got Boss, and the Dukes, Cooter, and Enos have to figure out what happened to him before he gets murdered.It's a little bit dramatic, a little bit funny - more of the humor is with Bo and others rather than Rosco this time around though - and very touching. Good family moments, and the Rosco-and-Boss friendship too. One of the best episodes IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi Dixie Lee,Thanks for the background. I think I did see that show, with Roscoe feeling distraught that he made Boss disappear.Thanks for the recap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StonewallBrigade Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Seven seasons, from fall 1978 to spring 1985, I believe. According to the Saeson 1 DVD, the first episode aired on 1/26/79.However, for anyone who has seen 'Anger Managment' with Adam Sandler, in the first scene, set in 1978, it innaccurately depicts the young version of Adam's character wearing a Dukes of Hazzard T-shirt, when in reality, the show did not first air until the following year.
