I have a sneaky suspicion that Huggy Bear may win.

General Lee was a much better car. And the Dukes Of Hazard had a unique plot in TV.

Bo and Luke and Daisy and Uncle Jesse all the way.

Great Waylon Jennings theme tune for the Dukes.

Bo and Luke always wearing the same clothes = a good thing.

But when they were replaced by the other cousins towards the end, did anyone else notice that the blonde one was now wearing the blue shirt and the dark-haired one was wearing the yellow. They were fucking with our heads.

gotta go with them good ole boys, never doing no harm

― james (james), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 11:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Dukes all the way.

See what I did? I subliminaly influenced all the Hazard fans to reply but not the S&H fans, because I made the S&H fans feel secure and complacent in the implied superiority of 'their' prog! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Coming next - "Ghandi vs Hitler; I suspect ol' nappy-pants may be more popular..."

i for one was about 7 when the dukes were out - i liked the car jumps and the bonnet slide and boss hogs hat. i have no recollection of ever watching s & h. Basically no subliminal influence at work here.

Huggy Bear vs. Boss Hogg and Enos. It's a tough call.

Oh, I'll go with the Dukes. All for Daisy really.

Duke boys. I still have the bedsheets.

I used to babysit David Soul's kids - great kids, but he was a fuckhead. Plus, when I was 8, Bo was h-o-t.

Did you do him?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:23 (twenty-three years ago)

I loved loved LOVED "The Dukes Of Hazzard" when I was a kid. Then I learned about the Civil War.

Part of me pines for those innocent days.

Didn't Catherine "Daisy Duke" Bach have her legs injured while working on the show or something?

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Any show that has a theme song sung by Waylon Jennings wins hands down.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:26 (twenty-three years ago)

"have her legs injured"? Like, she hired someone to hit her with a stick?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:26 (twenty-three years ago)

As an anecdote, it needs more.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Whoops - should have typed "insured". Sorry. On the grounds that her legs were more or less the show's biggest draw.

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I was never interested in ladies' legs as a child. What was the target audience? Actually I'm still not mad about legs.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Presumably the boys would like the cars, Daisy would be admired by the dads cf. Leela in Doctor Who.

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Was that one of the robots?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Huggy Bear was the only worthwhile thing about S&H ... so by default, my vote goes to DoH.

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I dont think we got Starsky and Hutch in NZ. Dukes of Hazard was good good fun. I was in it for the car chases not the legs.

― ducklingmonster, Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:38 (twenty-three years ago)

IT'S HAZZARD

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 16 January 2003 00:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Never watched either. Knew about them, of course. But I was a Happy Days child -- or if we must speak of action hero duos of the time, Chips.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 16 January 2003 02:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Does no one think DoH is a strikingly apt acronym, then?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 16 January 2003 18:10 (twenty-three years ago)

They had to stop filming the Dukes Of Hazard when there was that case with the girl Mary who was drowned down by the river, as recounted in the song by Richard Marx.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:37 (twenty-three years ago)

It's HAZZARD

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:39 (twenty-three years ago)

not in the song it isn't, but he changed the name for legal reasons.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I like 'em both, and CHIPS, but if I have to choose, I'd say the Dukes of HAZZARD.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:41 (twenty-three years ago)

It's HAZZ- oh.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Was there ever a Dukes Of Hazzard reunion twenty years later TV movie or something? I have a sneaking suspicion that there was, and the idea of a Y2K Daisy still wearing that denim mini-skirt doesn't strike me as a particularly attractive proposition.

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Dukes of Hazzard just for the fact that they had some great names for the characters. Daisy Duke, Crazy Cooter, Boss Hogg, Cletus, Enis...

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Especially now that "cooter" is a slang term for "vagina".

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

haha, legs injured when you mean legs insured has to be one of the, well, really good typos.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Glad you liked it.

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Friday, 17 January 2003 14:55 (twenty-three years ago)

No, I didn't ever do the mattress mambo with him - though I think I may be one of the few in Hollywood who can boast same.
