Look at them girls with the Daisy Dukes on…by Duice. The Daisy Dukes song. A 90s flashback when I saw the album cover. I played this party song after so many years not hearing it 🎊🎉

Why the switch with the narrator?

Out of all the new narrators you have tried, I think this one is settling in nicely. Having him redo the original script made it feel fresh.
It was cool to hear the original guy kept for the #2 slot about the cartoon version of the show.

As a child before Dukes I new him from The Life And Times Of Grizzly Adams as a reoccurring character with his mule "#7."

I thought the reboot was fun and entertaining. It's a shame that the original cast didn't want to have cameos.

Please do one of these for Barney Miller. I just noticed the Starsky and Hutch Torino in the junkyard.

Denver Pyle was also Mad Jack on Life and Times of Grizzly Adams…and in fact turned down the wrap up movie because he was on Dukes of Hazzard.

My Gen X dad is a dedicated Dukes of Hazard fan. In another life, Catherine Bach would have been my mom, dedicated 😂. If I need dad to sit still for 5 minutes, I just pop in a disc, doesn't matter which season or episode, and he'll watch until it stops.
He was notably upset that Coy and Vance didn't get any additional screen time in later episodes/seasons. Just imagine 4 Duke boys driving Boss and Roscoe crazy.
Anyway, I found the 2005 remake movie in the dollar bin once. Dad told me he would watch paint dry before watching that movie, wow.

My favorite part about the Dukes' opening title is what had to be intentional by the people who compiled it. When Waylon sings the line "straightening their curves, flattening their hills" they show a visual of Cathy Bach in a bikini. Definitely some "curves" and "hills" there…..
Thank you, Cathy!

Schneider's scheme to get the role is worthy of a Duke boy.

They destroyed over 300 chargers, damn. That doesn’t even include how many they broke and fixed.

It’s funny, I actually don’t mind these copyright reuploads. I think it’s because there are some videos you all did that I totally forgot about and now I get to watch them again 😂. I’m a fan of how you all explain these shows 😂

Who knows what the theme would have been like had Waylon gotten on that plane the day music died?
