Cousin Roger... Great I love it! Idk if it's true but I heard that actress Danone Simpson (Melanie Dubois) is Jessica Ann Simpson's mom.

Danone Simpson (now known as Danone Camden) only has a handful of acting credits, although they include 98 episodes of Dallas as Kendall Chapman. According to IMDb, "She has been married to Mark Simpson since April 11, 1981. They have one child."

From Jessica Simpson's IMDb bio, she's "Elder sister of Ashlee Simpson. Their parents are Joe Simpson and Tina Simpson. Joe worked as a psychologist and a Baptist minister in Texas but now manages his daughters' musical careers and their official websites. Mom, Tina, helps run her clothing empire."

Vance's Lady....season 5

Coy and Vance went to the bus stop and picked up Jenny Waldon. "Two or three years ago" Vance and Jenny were "engaged to be engaged" but she didn't like the country and he didn't like the city so it didn't work out. On the way to the farm, a thug named Dugan who was working for Senator Jason W. Maynard, tried unsuccessfully to run them off the road. Jenny had been Maynard's secretary and discovered that he was stealing money from taxpayer funds and Maynard was after her because he didn't want her to report him to the authorities. He was also trying to make it look like Jenny was the guilty party. Dugan told Boss about Jenny and Boss wanted to get in good with Maynard (Boss had fantasies of becoming president of the USA someday) so he left with Rosco in his convertible (not Boss's car, Rosco's.....his roof was taken off when chasing the boys earlier.) They went to the farm to get Jenny but she was gone with Vance so Rosco went to arrest Coy instead but he got away and picked up Vance and Jenny. After a chase Jenny explained to the boys what was going on. She then ran away because she didn't want any of the Dukes to get hurt but Enos found her. He didn't have her for long because the boys rescued her. Since Dugan had the telephone system effectively shut down, the boys had to get Jenny to Atlanta to report Maynard and his thugs. They hopped in Jesse's truck with Jenny.  Daisy and Jesse hopped in the General Lee as a decoy but the General was caught by Dugan and his co-thug named Wade who had just gotten into Hazzard. The bad boys got on the CB and told the good boys that if they didn't come to the farm Daisy and Jesse might get hurt so they all met at the Duke's place. Vance had the CB on when Wade and Dugan confessed and then they took Jenny away at gunpoint. Boss heard the confession on the CB and decided to help rescue her. Vance got on top of a big tree branch and jumped on the moving car and with the help of others, saved his sweetheart. Maynard, Dugan and Wade ended up in handcuffs and Vance ended up with a sad heart when Jenny left. 

--  This isn't the first time Boss has dreamed of becoming president. When he said "I may just get into the oval office yet." Rosco responded "And it would fit your little chubby figure." 

-- Boss told Enos that if he becomes president he might make Enos "Secretary of the Inferior."

Cool HossC. Do you know if Danone is related to her any kind of way? Cousin or something maybe?

There's very little about Danone Simpson/Camden online, but I can't find anything linking her with Jessica Simpson.

The Hazzard Hustle.....season 5

Boss set up an illegal horse race betting operation in Rapaho County with a guy named Swifty, who hooked all the phone betting lines through the Duke farm's phone so in case Boss gets caught he can frame the Dukes. The phone rings constantly at the farm even though the Dukes can't hear any voices on the other end. While Boss and Rosco are in Rapaho, Boss puts Enos in charge but he lets it slip to the Dukes where Boss is so he sends Enos and Rosco out to arrest them....which they do....but they got away. New Boss, Billie Tucker and her massive thug named Bull find out about Boss's betting scheme so they visit him and Rosco. Bull shows them that they are angry when he bends Rosco's pistol barrel. Boss blamed the Dukes and sent Billie and Bull to their farm. In order to draw them away from Jesse and Daisy, Coy and Vance told Billie that it was their operation and then hopped in the General. After a chase Billie's car got stuck. While that was going on, Boss and Swifty moved their phone lines to a different location in Rapaho. The boys found out where the old operation had been and went back to tell Daisy and Jesse. Then the boys found the telephone pole that Swifty had tapped into and Vance listened in and figured out how the operation works. Daisy and Jesse found the location of Boss's new betting sight and Billie and Bull found Coy and Vance but the boys got away again. All 4 Dukes then met in Cooter's garage. The next day was the big Dixie Derby so Daisy dressed like an old lady and bet $150 on "Country Dancer" at 50 to 1 odds. Vance had spliced into the phone lines and beat Boss at his own game and knew who the winner would be. Billie and Bull then showed up and took the suitcase full of the better's money. Coy and Vance chased them and used a well placed dynamite arrow to crash their car. The betters got their money. Boss lost his money and the Dukes donated their winnings and their phone stopped ringing.

-- This episode should have been titled "Rapaho Hustle" since most of it was in Rapaho County

-- Cletus was mentioned again....still on vacation

Enos in Trouble.....season 5 

The Duke boys gave Enos a ride to the depot to pick up his footlocker that had just arrived from California. While loading it in the General, two bad guys named Burke and Carter hold them up at gunpoint demanding the locker but the General gets away after a chase. Boss is excited about his new business venture, General Hogg's Southern Fricasseed Pigs Feet as Rosco informs him about the attempted robbery. Boss suspects Enos or the Dukes have something valuable. While at the Duke farm Enos flips through the locker but finds so surprises. The locker stays at the farm when the boys drive Enos into town because Boss wanted to see him but on the way there the bad guys start shooting at them but they get away. Later, back at the farm, the 4 Dukes go through Enos's locker and Daisy finds a flashlight full of stolen emeralds that Enos didn't know about. Boss and Rosco overhear the news when the Dukes call Enos and tell him they're bringing the gems into town. Burke and Carter steal a car and Rosco chases the Dukes with the hopes of grabbing the emeralds but his car ends up in a tree. When the boys give the gems to Enos Boss demands them but the boys know Boss will keep them so they whisk Enos away while the bad guys are ransacking the farmhouse with Daisy and Jesse safely watching at a distance. After the Dukes and Enos bury the emeralds, Enos snags Daisy's jeep and drives to town and turns himself in to Boss. Enos told him he wouldn't reveal the gems location until the California police arrive because he had called them. Burke and Carter then pretend to be the California police but when they are quickly exposed as phonies they kidnap Enos and drive away. The General, Dixie and Sheriff's car take off after them and they get away but not for long when the Dukes see their car at an abandoned barn. To create a distraction they light some leaves in metal barrels and call the fire department. Once again the bad guys get away with Enos but it's the General Lee, Coy and Vance to the rescue. Later, the real California police pick up the emeralds. 

-- Funny scene with Rosco picking thorns out of Boss's booty after he fell in the briar patch. Later, Boss had a pillow tied to his sore behind. 

-- A rare sight of a General Lee headlight. Coming into town the left headlight cover was open.

The Great Insurance Fraud.....season 5 

Rosco is pulling people over for traffic violations and giving them the option of a $300 fine or buying a $150 policy from Hoggoco Life Insurance that pays out a million dollars if you die. Two scammers named Ward and Lavinia get a policy with the intent to collect the million. They rig a car up to make it look like Ward is in it. The car goes off a cliff, blows up and sinks in Bottomless Lake just after the license plate falls off. The bad thing is that the 3 younger Dukes were in the General on the same curve at the same time it happened. Coy was driving and even though it wasn't his fault he blames himself for some odd reason. Rosco threw Coy in jail and Jesse was forced to put the farm up for his bail and then Coy went in to a deep depression and even had nightmares. Lavinia showed up and surprised Boss with a claim of Ward's death and demands her million dollars. She explained that she knew the insurance was a scam and threatened to turn him in to the State Insurance Commission if he didn't pay up. To avoid getting sued, Boss signed everything he owned over to Rosco who immediately started to treat Boss as bad as Boss always treated him. After finding a yellow car that he thinks might have witnessed the accident, Vance meets Lavinia and gets knocked out by Ward and tied up. Lavania then calls Boss and tells him she will accept a quarter million in cash to settle the deal and he agrees and then eats the paper he signed giving everything to Rosco. Jesse and Coy rescue Vance and he tells them that Ward and Lavinia have a helicopter coming to pick them up. After locking Boss and Rosco in a closet, Ward and Lavinia take the money and grab Daisy as a hostage. After the chopper took off from the Boar's Nest, Daisy smacked and choked the pilot enough that he had trouble controlling it and dropped close enough to the ground for Vance to grab onto one of the landing feet. He then drained the fuel out and forced it to land and the bad folks went to jail and it was another Hazzard Happy Ending! 

--The bad guy was listed as Wade in the closing credits but they called him Ward the entire episode.

I've never noticed that before, Roger.

Did you spot that Melanie Vincz (Lavinia) previously appeared as one of the Pretty Piggy contestants in Return of the Ridge Raiders?

A Little Game of Pool.....season 5

Boss and a couple of bad guys named Joe and Don have schemed to rob a payroll shipment but need a fast getaway car so Joe and Don stole the General Lee at the farm while the 4 Dukes were in the barn practicing for a big upcoming annual pool tournament. After they got caught, Rosco arrested them but it was all for show because he didn't want the Dukes to know they were partners with Boss. Boss then went to the Duke farm and offered to buy the General and when the Dukes refused he intentionally ripped the surface of the Duke's pool table so Jesse couldn't practice since Jesse was his big rival. Later, at the Boar's Nest Boss talked Jesse into a bet, the General Lee against his Cadillac, in a little game of pool scheduled for the next day. Boss let Joe and Don out of jail, claiming there wasn't enough evidence to hold them. Just before the big match was scheduled to start, Boss walked in with a cast on his right arm, claiming it was broke but he was faking. He explained that under Ridge Runner rules he was permitted to use a substitute and then, in walked professional pool player Chickasaw Thins who ran the table and beat Jesse. Rosco then drove away from the Boar's Nest in the General. When the Dukes found out Boss was faking the broken arm they realized the General was still theirs because cheating violates Ridge Runner rules and they drove off to recover it. Joe and Don had painted it black and before the paint was even dry got caught by the Dukes and drove off in their own car but Coy and Vance hopped in the General but Joe and Don crashed their car before the boys even got there and then they ended up in jail. Jesse won the pool championship and to avoid going to jail, Boss and Rosco repainted the General Lee. 

-- The General Lee was also black before Bo and Luke ever got him, which we will see later in season 7 "Happy Birthday General Lee" 

-- A couple iconic scenes are in this one: A bull forces Enos and Rosco onto the roof of their car. Also, Rosco demolished an RV when he tries to jump the General Lee over it after Boss had won it.

The Treasure of Soggy Marsh.....season 5 

Boss finds out that a guy named Pruitt, who was once a cell mate of a guy named Kingston is coming to town. Pruitt is bringing his partner in crime, Gregory with him. Ten years earlier Kingston had robbed a bank and hidden the half million dollars he stole, dumping it into Soggy Marsh and Pruitt has a map of the money's location. He has agreed to give Boss half if he helps him. Boss helps them get diving gear at Rhuebottom's and also orders Enos to paint white lines on dirt roads that are far away to get him out of the way. Boss also wants the 3 younger Dukes out of the way so he sent them to Chickasaw County into a trap, where Big Ed Little arrested all 3 and threw them in the Chickasaw jail. While the divers (Pruitt and Gregory) are struggling to find the treasure, the 3 Dukes escape. Rosco ordered Enos to come back and the boys broke into Boss's office and later met with Rhuebottom and then Uncle Jesse and eventually figured out what Boss and the others were up to. After a long underwater search Pruitt and Gregory find the chest with the half million and decide to double cross Boss and keep it for themselves. Daisy saw them and told the other Dukes on the CB while Boss, Rosco, Enos and Big Ed listened in, prompting everyone to head to Soggy Marsh. Daisy got caught and taken hostage and the bad guys took off in an air boat with her. Jesse and Vance got in another air boat and Coy took off in the General Lee, driving along the swamp's shores. Eventually Coy had to jump the General into the swamp to knock the boat off balance so Jesse and Vance could catch it and save Daisy. Everybody else showed up and Pruitt and Gregory went to jail and the bank got it's half million back. 

-- This was the first time Big Ed and the new Duke boys were in the same episode. 

-- I wonder if was scripted when Enos said "Give my best to Uncle Daisy". I'd guess that it wasn't. He corrected his mistake.

-- It was pretty cool to see Daisy driving the General Lee with the boys beside her and Enos in hot pursuit behind her. Of course she got away.

The Revenge of Hughie Hogg.....season 5

Rosco and Enos pull the 3 younger Dukes over but instead of giving them a ticket they give them pins, cigars and a poster advertising Rosco's re-election. Meanwhile, Hughie and his two henchmen, Barcaly and Norris, record Boss buying stolen telephone answering machines and intend to blackmail him. Hughie then tries to run the General off the road in his white VW bug but he ends up in a big, steel, drain pipe. He then goes to see Boss and explains to him that if he doesn't back him in the election for sheriff that he will turn the tape in to the authorities. When Boss backs Hughie, Rosco is sad and Lulu is furious. The 4 Dukes decide to support Rosco because they know Hughie would be way worse. Rosco is thankful for their support but Hughie is so mad he sends Barcaly and Norris after Coy and Vance. After a chase, the Duke boys get away and then the 4 Dukes go into full campaign mode along with Lulu. Hughie forces Boss to suspend Rosco and the next thing you know, Hughie is acting sheriff and he deputizes his two henchmen. The new deputies try unsuccessfully again to nab the boys while Hughie is busy writing Rosco a citation for littering since his beat up personal car is dropping  body parts. Boss then admits to Rosco that he didn't give him a part of the profits on the answering machine deal and then explains why Hughie is blackmailing him. After they teamed up, Rosco tried to take the tape but Hughie threw him in jail and then threw Daisy and Jesse in there too. With the help of a skunk, Coy and Vance broke them all out. Daisy then flirted with Hughie and secretly recorded him admitting to illegal activity. The tape got cut short but Hughie didn't know that when the Dukes played the beginning for him and wanted a trade for the tape he had of Boss. Hughie accepted the trade and they all met at Morgan's Glueworks where things got real complicated and real sticky. When it was all said and done, Hughie, Barcaly and Norris were booted out of town, Rosco got re-elected and Lulu wasn't mad anymore. 

-- Funny scene of a woman talking in a phone booth and when the booth gets slid down the street she is so focused on her conversation she doesn't even notice. 

-- Rosco's personal car! I think we might have seen that in another episode but can't remember which one. 

-- In one scene, Daisy and Jesse were in the back seat of the General Lee with Vance driving, Coy sitting in the middle and Rosco beside Coy. That's a unique driver/passenger combo!
