Joe duke Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 While whatching the season 2 DVD I noticed that Rosco is replaced in a few of the episodes. I was just wondering the real reason why James Best was not in those episodes. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malchus Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 James Best held out for better dressing room because of all the scenes where he was getting drenched jumping the car into a pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamanda Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I believe he also wanted the dressing trailers to be safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malchus Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Yeah I think your right, I knew it was something with dressing rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe duke Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 So thats what it was!! Then where was cooter when all those cousins of his replaced him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowmufn Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 They were holdin' towels around him while they hosed him off after the Hazzard Pond scenes.... so he wanted a good trailer with a dressing room. Apparently, the trailers they did have were so decrepit that they'd fall apart if "the termites stopped holding hands". (Jimmie's words. LOL.)Meadowmufn--------------------------HazzardNet Proprietor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leandar Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 That, and then they got a trailer, which IIRC, they kept for a brief time, and then took away again and Best went off, ostensibly for good, and he said something to the effect of that the was "leaving and going back to the Florida swamps and there's no one in California with the intestinal fortitude to come get me" and so they finally got something decent I believe, and so Best came back.

Julieduke Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 there was Clifton James, Dick Sargent(if James Best would left the show for good he would made a good Replacement) and James Hampton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Luke Duke Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 You forgot about Jeff Altman, he played Hughie Hogg, temporary sheriff in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'. They were all good replacements but with different personalities. Buster Moon liked all the pretty piggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian_Country_Cousin Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Rosco probably could have use a refresher cousre in the law! LOL. And someone asked where Cooter was. Well they wanted him shave his face and he wouldn't so he was gone for a spell.I liked sheriff Grady Berg the Best! But Rosco tops em all!

I was so heartbroken when he left. :'( Those 5 episodes without him made me miss him so much! They felt like they were longer than all the other episodes to me! I still liked them, but I LOVED the episodes that do have Rosco in them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie Hartkins Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) They obviously thought they could do it without him but they evidently found out differently!! As far as Cooter, same thing. They thought they could replace him and found out differently! It goes to show you that the people the actors work for are real jerks and creeps!

They did a decent job under the circumstances but nobody could fill those boots. Even if they got Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood I still would have wanted John and Tom back.
