JHDuke Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Ok, I know it's one of the later episodes, what did everyone think about "Strange Visitor to Hazzard"?, if you haven't watched it, to cut a long story short an alien comes to Hazzard and Boss and Rosco want to use him/her (was never clear on that) as an attraction to bring tourists into Hazzard. Oh and two guys who are on the run for holding up a church bingo game try to take over Hazzard using the WHOGG radio station (I think that's the name...), anyway that's all from me, 10:4.

RogerDuke Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 It was my least favorite episode. Still, the worst Dukes of Hazzard episode is better than the best episode of any other show ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Unsurprisingly, 'Strange Visitor to Hazzard' comes up a few times in the Least Favourite Episode thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowmufn Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Felix Silla played the Visitor. He also wore the costume for Twiki in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, he was an Ewok in Return of the Jedi, he wore the Lucifer costume in Battlestar Galactica, and was Cousin Itt on The Addams Family. And that's all the good stuff I have to say about "Strange Visitor to Hazzard". LOL! JHDuke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHDuke Posted July 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) It was mine as well, along with 'Robot P. Coltrane', my belief (like a lot of television show) the writers just run out of ideas, the Dukes is still an amazing show though Edited July 29, 2019 by JHDuke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonacoMan Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 This was the worst episode of the show! I don’t like alien/UFO stuff to begin with , but it definitely did NOT belong on a show like “Dukes”! RogerDuke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're glad you're back with us in here MonacoMan and a few years ago ( ?) we talked about this and all agreed with you....this show sucked!! It's GOT to be the bottom of the list! They were really reaching with this one! ( Were they drunk? Ran out of ideas? Buzzing?) MonacoMan and RogerDuke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 It wasn't good. In fact, I'll agree that it was downright bad. Still, it was better than anything that is on television now. MonacoMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check back periodically to see about new posts or topics to comment on. But, yeah this was around the time the writers seemed to not care & started coming up with some ridiculous episodes. This and the robot one, were pathetic plots that should never have been allowed to be produced & filmed into actual episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I love crime, detective, and adventure shows best. RogerDuke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching Duck Dynasty for awhile there but there is no show that I care about anymore. I watch "Kudlow". It's a financial show.. Thank goodness for the classic TV channels and DVDs. Lately I've been youtubing motorcycles...mostly dirt bike stuff. MonacoMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably just did it as a favor to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have TONS of shows I’ve collected over the years...so thank God (for real) that we came up with DVDs & Blu-rays! I have Netflix but I don’t even watch that a lot anymore. I’m always going through some show I haven’t seen in a few years (and I’m always acquiring movies—usually older or old ones to watch), and usually never have to worry about viewing content. Recently I’ve started going through “Dukes” again...this time I’m purposely watching on my old cone-butt TV in the basement family room—which is in the old entertainment center & all my “Dukes” action figures next to die cast metal models of their cars —along with the lunchbox & one of the TVGuides, are all displayed on top. All this while sitting on an old 70s brown floral couch, lol! I still have an old DVD/VCR combo machine set up down there...so it’s fun watching the show as it looked when originally aired (aka non-HD). This is all just because I can, lol...although a Blu-ray release (digitally remastered in HD) of “Dukes” would be superb!! I didn’t know James Best wanted the robot episode...as much as I loved him & the character of Rosco, I can’t agree with the choice to make that one.

RogerDuke Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I said the alien episode but now that you mention it, it might have been the robot ep too. I can't remember where I heard that. Maybe Hoss will shed some light on that tomorrow. It's probably 3 in the morning over there now. MonacoMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorrell Booke directed Strange Visitor so the alien must have been Hogg's idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet not! Well...if it is....maybe he had no taste but he still was one of the best actors! I've started to notice that I've added more episodes to my least fav./don't watch anymore list.
