I Bet That Puts a Kink in His Plow Line

That's just one of the great pearls given to me by my new dvd set...The Dukes of Hazzard Season 1. I didn't really set out to buy it. I went to rent it and they didn't have it to rent. So I shelled out the money and took my own copy home. I wonder how many others have been suckered into buying a movie because it was rented out? I get the last laugh here, because I love this show.

Let me explain why this is one of the best buys out there for rehashed tv shows.

1. The General Lee. Come on folks, this car was better than Samsonite luggage or a Timex watch. A gorilla could throw it down stairs after jumping up and down on it or it could fall into the lake, and you'd still hear the engine roaring. This car had the best sounding engine, hot hubs, a killer paint job, and could fly. Watch the show if you don't believe me. It beats the h e double hockey sticks out of Kit. If you don't know who Kit is, catch up and relive the 80's. This car was so dang sharp, it's tire squealed on dirt. The doors didn't even open...that would slow them down.
2. Daisy Duke. My first childhood crush. Her name inspired a style. Sheesh. She could drive, she could fight, and wasn't scared of the law enforcement.
3. It has nonstop car chases. Let's say the Duke boys are going to round up some posse to intercept a truck load of casino machines. First, there will be a scene with them ripping out of town towards the junkyard. They'll tear into the junkyard where a few guys and their hotrods will be waiting. Then, for good measure, they'll have some muscle car version of dogfights just to get out of the junkyard. That'll last for 10min. Then the cars hit the road running. Man, we haven't even gotten to the main plot and I'm already pumped full of adrenaline.
4. Uncle Jesse. Full of wisdom, integrity and sayings like, "Making moonshine ain't illegal for the Dukes because we were doing it before the government said it was illegal." He's got his head on straight. You gotta love them overalls, too.
5. That theme song. I can't get enough of it. I believe in heaven; and my heaven will have this song available for listening 24/7 at request. Besides, Waylon Jennings grew up in a little west Texas town called Littlefield. He's a local for me. They loved his voice so much, they let him commentate the whole show.
6. For allowing me to believe I could grow up driving my muscle car around town, dodging police, and squealing my tires on dirt.
7. Daisy Duke. In case you forgot I mentioned her. I don't want you calling me names. Besides, she needs mentioning twice.

And that's just a sample of why I love this show.
