The Dukes of Hazzard

A Movie Reel

The Dukes of Hazzard: 2.5 out of 10.

Ouch.  That was painful.  It pains me to think I'll never get those 106 minutes back.

You're probably wondering why I even bothered.  I mean, it's not like there was a slight chance this could be a decent flick, so why did I ensure I was in front of the television at 9pm last night to watch total and complete rubbish?  The answer has something to do with bed sheets and countless afternoons from my youth.

"The Dukes of Hazzard" was my show.  I watched it every single day in syndication, absolutely enthralled by every aspect of the show.  I loved the car, I loved Uncle Jesse and Daisy Duke and I wanted to be Bo and Luke, makin' their way the only way they know how.  I had General Lee Hot Wheels and a Dukes lunch box and yes, I even had bed sheets.  The best part of my Dukes of Hazzard bed sheets was the picture of Daisy Duke on the pillow case.  She was my first crush and every night I slept with my face next to hers.  Yee haw!

If you go back to this very site five years ago, you'll see a link to Hazzard County on the left.  That was my tribute to the show.  Unfortunately, most of the images didn't get archived by The Wayback Machine, but you'll get a feel for what this franchise means to me.  This movie didn't do my show justice.  There oughta be a law.
