New Logo! Same Great Taste!

In which the author settles in for some humble pie... Look! A fresh, new logo!  So yesterday, about 5:30 PM, my longtime friend Walt texted me a Dukes question, in the following exchange:   W: Did Boss Hogg ever dress in drag?   ME: Not to my knowledge. But he did once play his own twin brother, Jefferson Davis Hogg, who dressed in black, and was as good and honest as Boss was crooked.   W: I recall that. I have someone else that remembered him in drag. At the least, I have a real Mandela Effect thing going on!   Tonight, I was screwing around on my phone, and decided to randomly do a search for “Boss Hogg in dress” and came across  the following forum post at hazzard net.com :     So we had a third person…I had to dig deeper. I next searched for “Boss Hogg in drag,” which, along with not-as-many-as-I-would think drag queens, gave this result:     Bingo, visual confirmation.   What episode? This image only turned up a handful of times in a Google reverse image se

I cannot possibly imagine there is anyone still checking to see if this updates, but if there are, stay tuned!

Special Post: “Bo and Luke Use Autotrader.com”

In which the General Lee is finally given a rest, and the boys get a new car… So my wife was telling me about an ad she heard on the radio featuring the Dukes of Hazzard. I was intrigued, and took to the internet to find it. I never did find the radio ad, but I did come across what is probably the visual portion of the same campaign. We open with the General Lee being chased by some modern cop cars, being piloted by a much older Bo and Luke, returning to the roles for the first time since 2000’s “Hazzard in Hollywood” TV movie (which I’ll get around to reviewing much, much later). Bo remarks that they’ve still got it, implying (to me, at least) that they once again returned to their non-Hazzard professions of NASCAR driver (Bo) and Smokejumper for the US Forest Service (Luke), as established in 1997’s “Dukes of Hazzard Reunion’ TV movie (again, more on that in the future). I’m thinking they’ve both retired, and returned to Hazzard to live out their days doing as they please, w

Season 2, Episode 8, “Hazzard Connection”

In which there’s a demolition derby, and my spell check does not care for the name of the villain… We open at the Boars Nest, where Bo and Cooter are drooling over the new waitress, Bessie Lou, while Luke looks on in disgust, remarking “She walks like a trucker!” Afterwards,  Rosco is searching a truck and trailer full of junked cars, under suspicion that the driver’s boss, Augie Detweiller, is smuggling something. The Balladeer pipes up and fills us in on who Augie Detweiller is, and that he steals fancy racing engines and then puts them into junked car bodies, so he can then smuggle them out of the county and sell them. Wouldn’t it be easier to just operate somewhere closer to a city, which is certainly full of chop shops and the like? Back at the farm, Bo and Luke are waiting for Cooter to help them repair something, and he’s late, because Cooter is a jerk. Daisy comes outside and tells the boys that Cooter just called from Colonial City, and wants them to come pick up some

Season 2, Episode 7, “Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough”

In which the Dukes meet Cale Yarborough… We begin this tale with Rosco chasing Bo and Luke (and Luke is driving! That’s pretty rare, you guys!) over some unknown infraction, while Bo wonders why, as they haven’t done anything wrong today. Geez, Bo, maybe he’s chasing you for any of the other times you broke the law in previous episodes that you haven’t paid for? The boys accidentally break their probation by crossing the state line, because Rosco had previously removed the conveniently labeled sign indicating they were about to do so. Firstly, Conyers, Georgia (main filming location of the first five episodes , and where I place Hazzard County when I do these insane bits of research) is some 75 miles from the closest state border, which is Alabama. Secondly, knowing that, Rosco is well outside his jurisdiction, having to go through at least four counties to get to said border. And finally, if crossing the state border violates their probation, don’t you think the Dukes woul
