At the age of 8 Daisy Duke was my son's first love.
Good evening, Vesper. :2wave:
How are you doing? I've been in and out on here lately because of having to travel back and forth to NC, and haven't seen you post much. I miss talking with you - you always have such interesting things going on in your life! *hug*
Not an over reaction, but a calculated move to boost ratings.Is TV Land's decision to stop airing Dukes of Hazard an over-reaction to the Confederate flag debate?
Personally, I never liked the show. I always thought it was dumb, and I was in the prime demographic when it was new. That being said, it'll be interesting to see if it comes back after the dust settles over the Confederate flag issue.
Note: This thread is regarding the pulling of the show only, not the overall flag issue in general. We already have other threads for that. Please use those threads if you want to debate that.
It was an unbelievably silly decision made for an incredibly ludicrous reason.
The show was never remotely about racism.
Are they available on DVD? That might be an option. Maybe a better option if the PC goes too far and not even Netflix will touch it in the future. IOW, get it while you can.One of my fondest memories as a child was watching that show. Loved it so much I played Dukes of Hazard on the playground. Jumping from the jungle jim like the car was jumping over that gap in the bridge. Or jumping out of the swing set for the same reason. Or just staying in the swing speeding away from Roscoe and/or Einus(sp?). It was a great show and I still think about it at times. The ONLY time I didn't like the DoH was when they made that movie a few years ago. It imo made a mockery of the real DoH. The Duke Boys were not about getting laid every chance they got and they certainly didn't try to make love to the General Lee. Hopefully Netflix will put the episodes on one of these days so I can watch em all again.

Major overreaction. And yes, it is a stupid show. But then again, they still run Gilligan's Island.

"Over reaction" is an understatement.
It may well be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard of a company doing for the sake of political correctness.
