What about the flag though. Does that offend you?

[@Dmal2301]

@@JohnSmith-eq2tf okay let me help you with this. The show is not about the flag. The flag is only a small part of the show. Also, the characters never put emphasis on the flag. This is why I can separate the show that has the Confederate flag from the flag itself. In the future, how about NOT trying to start an argument and just enjoy the video. If you want to argue, then there are a plethora of platforms on which to do so. Before you say it, please spare me the " I wasn't trying to start an argument" phrase.

Quick story... Dukes was my favorite show as a kid. I remember playing with an Ertl General Lee car on my kitchen floor. One time it went under the kitchen stove. I begged my dad to pull the stove back so I could get it out, but he wouldn't do it. Fast forward 20 years later, he finally buys a new stove. I go over to visit him one weekend, as I'm now an adult with my own place. I see the car sitting on the kitchen counter. He said he found it on the floor under the stove. I took it home. Still have it to this day!

[@Thundarr995]

You've got to be kidding. Me and my brother were crashing the General Lee and the Six Pack cars together in the kitchen and they went under the stove. Remember that movie Six Pack with Kenny Rogers in it? He was a Racecar driver. Anyway my dad wouldn't pull the stove either probably 20yrs later my mom calls me and says its really important that I come over. The stove went bad and they replaced it. They found those cars back there. I got the General Lee,my brother got the Six pack car. I still have it,I'm sure my brother still has his. Crazy story,it's so close to my story.

Funny story: A few years ago we had been renting and binge watching TDOH to show our kids what a fun and awesome series it was. Well, during this time my wife was teaching my youngest son how to read with flash cards. She would have him read aloud the word and then use it in a sentence so that she knew he was comprehending each word. Up comes a flashcard with the word "shine" on it and my son reads it aloud and then says "Shine..... as in moonshine??" We all laugh ourselves silly when she tells the story. What a great memory for our family. Thank you John!

The ratings for this show were incredible for 7 years, unheard of today even for 2 years, especially considering only 3 networks and no cable until mid-1980s in many areas. The cast including yourself and Tom Wopat were outstanding and one of the best in Hollywood.

John, as you well know Hollwood has never been a place for morality and family values, but they pretended to be to appeal to it's viewers. Once and while you hear stories of actors like Jimmy Stewart, James Best who was a wonderful dad and others who weren't "playing decent people", they were decent people. You are in that small group. The rest of your career has been consistent with the moral high ground of this show. If we want to make America great again, let's go back to The Dukes Of Hazzard! I'll see you in 1980, I'll be the guy with the mustache and hair parted in the middle..oh wait, that would describe every 19 year old at that time. Merry Christmas, Dave Atchison

I thought he would touch her off and not let me pass but he didn't, just kept putting along easy. Anyway, I've been thinking about that show all day and came home and found this channel.

I still remember Friday's as a kid in the 80s. Not only did I love Friday's because I didn't have to go to school the next day, but because of the Incredible Hulk followed by the Dukes of Hazzard.

Oh how I miss being a kid in the 80s.
