As a kid that was my show!!!!! I loved all the characters from the theme song to the car and the sound the horn made.

As an adult I look back on it and I am repulsed at how racist it was. The car was called General Lee with a conferate flag on the top. and the horn played Dixie!!! and I dont ever remember there being a black person on the show...

I cant even beleive the show was on TV. Could this ever happen again?

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

The cake was the General Lee.

Remember when McD's had a Dukes Happy Meal where the food came in a plastic General Lee? Lol http://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-complete-mcdonalds-dukes-of-hazzard.html?m=1

Anyway I was all about that show. My mother hated it. Looking back I think I had a crush on them Duke boys.

fuck you.

damn. the balladeer had quotes for days.

"Well, the hen-house is empty. The fox is lickin' off chicken feathers and the Duke's goose is about to be cooked. "

"This is Bo Duke and Luke Duke. They're cousins. They fight the system. "

"Talk about bad timin'. If it was rainin' soup, old Cooter's bowl would be upside down. "

"Can make some male appendages harder than Chinese arithmetic. "

petticoat junction

beverly hillbillies

that country stuff used to crack me up as a kid

and i especially loved dukes because my dad had a bumblebee charger back in the day

than one day i found out what was hiding under all that

I would have lost my mind.

I so wanted one. Hell, I still want one.

fuck you.

Fuck a sig, my presence is enough.

=======================================
Coolin...

lol

as a kid i convinced myself that i would never use a door to get inside of a car when i got older

but yeah

Luke and Bo
Uncle Jesse...Daisy...Rosco ....Boss Hog....Cooter

that and CHIPS were my shows when i was lil


Hell....Hee Haw too

=======================================
Coolin...

I loved the hell out of Hee Haw. But then I found Laugh-In.

I was also all about Little House on the Prairrie. I blame my girl cousins.

fuck you.

had a motorcyle back then and he had this old school helmet

i used to put it on and ride my CHIPs big wheel because you could not tell me i wasn't Ponch lol

=======================================
Coolin...

Lol

Mine had the little spin out lever on it. I was a beast on that thing. You couldn't tell me shit! I lived on a street that had a hill and my house was at the bottom of the hill. I'd ride down all fast as hell and then spin out at the bottom right in front of the house. I tried to spin it just right so I could run up the driveway from the big wheel with smooth motion. Like a cop chasing someone who ran into the house.

fuck you.

it comes on one of those rinky dink in-between channels here in syndication sometimes and i'll watch it if nothing else is on.

<--- Big Baller World Order

grocery shopping with my parents and rushing them to get home by 8 when Dukes came on TV. All the literal cliffhangers before commercial breaks, the General Lee, etc...

fuck you.

either ribs, a fried shrimp platter or a cheesesteak while watching DoH, then Incredible Hulk.

I was totally into the Hulk too. I liked the idea that I could become a monster when I got mad.

On the same note I loved Firestarter - being able to start fires with my mind when I'm mad.

fuck you.

niggas like Im Bo! Im Luke! fun times lol

coming on that night.

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

to be diverse and none of the overt Confederate stuff. Sort of like Nashville (which I've only ever seen a few episodes of, so I might be off-base there).

This was after watching for years tho. My parents, aunts & uncles were always dropping real comments as a kid. I think there was a chase scene on the show once, and for some reason all I saw was that car w/ the confederate flag driving down some dusty road and sandy brown hair. I immediately thought "lynching" and that was a wrap for that show and I.

Same with a lot of older shows, TBH. I used to watch Andy Griffith (because of my mom), and one day I realized that the jokey-ass cops would NOT be jokey with me if I came to Mayberry.

"Get ready....for your blessing....."

those Duke boys wanted NOTHING to do with Chickasaw County. He just passed away too

I begged her to buy it. Pretty sure she gave me a speech about the rebel flag but I was too young to care. I just wanted that damn car so I could jump over legos with it.

Otherwise, I can't remember one episode from it.

I saw that John Schnieder was defending the the flag on the general lee. this fool actually said it was no different than a mcdonalds logo... wow....


i guess them daisy dukes old girl had on was a distraction....

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

where he (and Flash) went to the big city and got in trouble for crashing cars over and over.

I remember being very confused about how the Dukes, who were constantly broke, could afford dynamite to tie to their arrows as they leaned out of the General to shoot at the cops chasing them, and not get in trouble for doing that either.

Fun reading about the Friday night lineup. All in all, I probably remember more scenes from the Hulk. That one where Dr Banner finds the guy who had Hulked himself up, I think in a failed attempt to fight cancer, freaked me out and stuck with me. Also, 'you wouldn't like me when I'm angry' has been broken out many times with the kids...

that was when the "this ain't quite right" veneer shone though

I remember that Hulk episode. I still watch the old Incredible Hulk reruns (when my homey has them on over his crib).

if your car didn't talk your show wasn't shit

he used to sit in the cut with his aviator sunglasses waiting on those duke boys to come speeding by. Wasn't on that many episode that I remember.

I can't believe my mom and grandparents let me watch that shit. I remember getting all excited at the general lee replica that used to show up at our small town parades.

fuck that show

All the vehicle mayhem a young boy could stand. I know for sure I had a few General Lee cars of various forms around the house.

crazy to think that back then shit was so limited that by-appointment TV right at 9 was the only way to hear/see the intro. the show was kind of corny but in the moment it was fun.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

moms would even watch dukes with me and my brother... and then head off to bed when "serious" knight rider came on. haha

i seem to remember airwolf or street hawk being rotated in to that lineup at some point too.

But i wasnt paying attention really i was playing or doing other shit

Looking back, of course the confederate flag was problematic, but I don't remember the show being overtly racist other than that. In any event, as 6, 7, 8, year old, I didn't know or care about all that. I just liked watching the General Lee jump in the air the Duke boys blowing stuff up.

But early 80s television on Fridays and Saturdays was awesome.

Dukes
Hulk
Knight Rider
A-Team

Couldn't beat that lineup.

Last 3 things I watched:

The Changeling Season 1 (Apple+): C
OMITB Season 3 (Hulu): B-
Ahsoka Season 1 (Disney

and got the Dukes of Hazzard 'Barn Buster' for Christmas. It was a wind-up car that rolled up a ramp through toy barn doors with barrels in front. It played like a scene from the show.

Loved the show but when I look back now I just shake my head.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

but I strangely (or maybe not-so) identified with it because I knew somebody like every person on the show. Some I have good memories of (Daisy Duke, Uncle Jesse), others not to much (Boss Hogg, punk ass Roscoe, etc).

the theme song and general themes of the show, but don't recall it every being on in my house - including my parents and 2 older brothers - watched it nor talked about it. We watched our fair share of TV too, but that show never got play. I'm 35 so I'm guessing the show was still going strong in the late 80s through early 90s. The only 'older' sitcoms I remember watching with any (somewhat)regularity were:

Three's Company
Jefferson's
Different Strokes
Magnum PI
Murder She Wrote
Matlock
Dark Shadows
I Dream of Jeanie
Flintstones/Jetsons
Bewitched
3 Stooges

Most of us old niggas were at an age where we had no idea why our parents had that look when we talked about wanting a car named General Lee.

at the time I had no idea about the whole rebel flag & general lee thing... I'm Canadian we didn't get that education we got the 1812 54-40 or fight doctrine instead.

I loved that signed pic of Enos... kept it right along with my star wars fan club headshots of Han and Leia and my club card... don't have any of that anymore.

I loved this show.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

that show had folks digging it in the hood and the car was acceptable in that day and time sad to say.

Enos was a cornball and yet it worked on Daisy Duke. when they brought coy and vance in that was lights out for the show.

the Duke Boys got love because these two white boys were always running from the law.
