They're just good old boys...never meanin' no harm. Ah, Bo and Luke Duke. I don't remember a whole lot about watching the show when I was younger. I was, afterall, only 6
when it was canceled. I do, however, clearly remember my crush on Bo Duke. At the time, my Uncle Steve looked a lot like John Schneider and I would avoid him and wouldn't talk to him because I thought he was a long lost Duke. I also remember that my brothers would get out their CBs and I could be "Bo Peep" to their "Lost Sheep" and "Shepherd".My brothers had the Daisy Duke poster in their room, and I even think we had a lunch box laying around somewhere. The products and marketing money they made off of that show is unreal. My four year old son plays a Dukes of Hazzard guitar when he visits Grandma and Grandpa's house. They kept that silly plastic thing with Bo, Luke, and Daisy's pictures on it from when my husband was little.
I am not ashamed to admit that I often watch the Dukes of Hazzard reruns on CMT after I get home from work. The good guys always won, and sometimes I just need a good car race and tight jeans to end my day. I also have seen every made for TV movie they produced throughout the years, including that silly one when Daisy was going to marry Enos, and the one where they had to save the family farm from being taken away to build an amusement park by going to Hollywood to make money. Uncle Jesse was always in trouble financially. That farm had to be saved more often than Cooter had actualy customers
The movie remake they did a few years ago was awful. The casting for the movie killed it. I was hoping for Owen and Luke Wilson to play the Duke boys. Jessica Simpson definitely had the Daisy look, but she wasn't very convincing as the tough, smart gal who liked to work on cars with her cousins. Jessica Biel would have been a better choice, but what do I know?
It doesn't matter. I have my beloved Dukes and their crazy adventures at my fingertips every night, thanks to syndication. I can ride along in the General Lee and try not to get caught by Roscoe P. Coltrane and Boss Hogg. After all, they're makin' their way the only way they know how...but that's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Answer: Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg
