Dukes of Hazzard
« on: January 09, 2005, 04:01:53 AM »
Ok, since I've still got 10 more episodes to go through I think I'm going to start a fresh thread in an appropriate location.

We're watching some of the special features right now, and ...... John Schneider (Bo) is really really hot as an adult.  In fact he's much cuter now than he was in the show.

That's all for now.

I can totally see why everyone loved this show.  It rocks.

The upcoming movie, I should point out, has Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke. Some casting agent has done his job well.

There seems to be some disagreement on that point, but  *shrug*

Ok, far as I can tell, nobody in Hazzard County wears a seatbelt.

sorta like turn signals in Utah. It's technically on the books, but no one does it.

Or lanes of different speed in Denver. I don't think that's technically a law, but it still bugs me every time I drive there.

The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

Two interesting second season changes:

Roscoe Coltrane starts referring to himself as "Roscoe P. Coltrane"

Everyone calls Jesse "Uncle Jesse", (Enos, Roscoe, Cooter, everyone other than Bo, Luke and Daisy), to which Jesse responds with "I'm not your Uncle Jesse."
It's a bizarre little running joke.

Also, the narration is worthy of Raymond Chandler at points.

"He was slicker than a bald tire on a semi on a mile of wet asphalt."

It wasn't until about a month again that I found what Roscoe's name really was.  I watched that as a kid, and all I remember hearing was "Roscoe Peecoe."
