This is a solid enough episode and if Dukes comfort food is what you're after, it's aces. The thing is....that's all it is. They can't all be a great one like a Jude Emery, a Carnival of Thrills, or a Double Dukes. Even Corndog mailed this one in. Anyway, a father and daughter come to Hazzard in the witness protection program. Bounty hunters are after them thinking they'll recover some stolen diamonds or something. Then the General Lee jumps and Bo and Luke fake the death of the father and daughter to get the bad guys off of their backs for good. The end.

OK, if you have never ever seen this movie before, I (Rob) can tell you all you need to know to want to go watch it: this movie is why Finnegan is Finnegan. Seriously. Check it out. Watch the motive and tell me I'm wrong. That aside, this move is the story if high school shy guy Layne Meyer, and his desire to win back his long lost girlfriend Beth after she dumped him for the Captain of the High School Ski Team. Along the way Layne befriends the french speaking foreign exchange girl, she fixed his awesome '67 Camaro so he can finally defeat the Asian brothers in a drag race, and Booger from Revenge of the Nerds delivers the classic line that forever changed America, "Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn." Oh, and the kid that wants $2 for deliver papers is in it. And so in Winchester from M*A*S*H. And a hamburger plays Eddie Van Halen's guitar.

There comes a time in every mans life when he must head out into the world to make his own name, claim his fortune, and find his wife. In the case of Rosco P Coltrane he got to attempt one of those for about 10 minutes before it blew up on him. Some bad guys set up a scam to trick lonely small town Sheriff's into marrying their pretty lady cohort, only so the afore mentioned bad guys can rob the bank while she, the Sheriff, and the entire town are at their fake wedding. We know, you saw it coming. Everyone saw it coming. Anyway, the Dukes get blamed for the bad stuff, help save the day for Rosco anyway, and the day resets for the next episode like Groundhog's Day. The General Lee stunts in this are epic.

This is the show of shows, and it could only happen in the 80's. Boss Hogg meets his long lost identical twin brother, Abraham Lincoln Hogg. It's not a welcome meeting though, as Abe is the generous and good ying to Boss's greedy and devious yang. Need more chicanery? Abe wears a black suit and drives a black Caddy convertible. That comes in later. As you have likely already guessed, Boss had a scheme cooked up to steal Abe's inheritance that now requires of him to impersonate his brother by changing into and out of his clothes multiple times in a broom closet. The General does an epic jump over a car carrier and Daisy runs in slow motion while wearing a particularly stringy tank top. And Bo's not in this one at all for some reason. Hijinks ensue.

Dukes Review: Remember Huey Hogg, Boss Hogg's nephew that filled in for Rosco in Season 2 while he was "at the police academy" (i.e. when James Best was in a contract dispute)? Good memory. He's back now, only he's dressed exactly like Boss Hogg and he drives a white VW Bug convertible with steer horns on it. I know. It was the 80's. They don't do great hamball stuff like that anymore. Anyway, Boss brings in Huey to frame the Dukes once and for all, because Rosco has always failed at doing so. Huey tries, Huey fails, the cycle repeats, and Daisy has to get a prison photo taken. And the VW ends up hanging from a giant magnet with Boss Hogg in it. Also - for no explained reason - this episode was shot in Season 2 but only aired now (Enos is back, as is Daisy's Plymouth Road Runner). Hijinks ensue.  

We're taking a "movie break" from the Dukes of Hazzard this episode and decided to focus our efforts on reviewing the very first movie of the "Fast" franchise, "The Fast and the Furious." Finnegan freaking loves this movie. Why? Because it is essentially an automotive version of another great movie, Point Break, and just replaces the surf boards with cars. Everything else literally lines up though. Here's the proof: Cop infiltrates the suspects lair by going undercover and winning his trust and friendship. (Check.) Cop ends up in falling in love with and bedding the bad guy's sister. (Check). Cop starts to see that the bad guy, while he does bad things, has his reasons. (Check.) Cop decides to let the bad guy have one last spiritual escape of surfing...er, drag racing, and then lets him go with apparently no consequences to his future law enforcement career. (Check.) Japanese front wheel drive hot rods litter this movie, and a '70 Dodge Charger with a totally fake blower becomes the mascot of a film franchise that will go on to rake in billions. They even have launched a live stunt show in the UK.

Due to a hilarious medical error, Boss Hogg thinks he's dying. He immediately realizes he's done a ton of greedy evil things in his life, and tries to buy his way into heaven by doing "good deeds" while he can in order to avoid going to Hell. He obviously can't do that, but it makes for good TV fun. He gives the Dukes their farm, the orphans their orphanage, and the Little League their own...league? Doesn't matter. The shenanigans really get rolling when he finds out it was all a mistake. And there are bad guys in this one too that should be central to the story, but they really aren't. The highlight is the cameo by Mr. Belding from "Saved By the Bell". Solid Hijinks ensue. Holy smokes - it's raining awesomeness! Today's show is brought to you by our sponsor Hello Fresh!

For those of you that love the "witty banter" portion of this episode, be prepared for everything you've ever wanted to know in regards to watching the great Solar Eclipse of 2017, how to correctly launch a drag boat to music, and what count of the clock to look for to step on to the football field if you're leading a drumline. Also - the triumphant return of the game "Guess Who's Birthday! At some point in every great TV show series run they do the holiday episode series. This time around it's Halloween and it's all centered around the Haunted House in Hazzard. The house is occupied by a set of small time thieves running a smelting operation in the basement to melt down their stolen silver.  Everything is going great until a pretty girl returns to Hazzard to claim the house from her long lost Uncle. With me so far? Bo & Luke get blamed, the house scares people, and somehow it leads to the General Lee jumping a lake and ending up on a postcard received by hundreds of thousands of kids in the early 1980's. Boom. Best summary ever! Hijinks ensue.

It starts out with an awesome General Lee jump, and ends with the most epic one ever...with the General going through the ROOF of a second story barn, trapping the bad guys, hurting nary a soul, and bringing the Dukes Boys back to safety. Everything that happens in between is mostly filler. So, here's the filler: Luke gets blackmailed into boxing a legit fighter in order to pay off a debt to Boss that (if unpaid) will cost the Dukes the farm. Again. Luke doesn't want to do it, because his was so awesome at boxing in the Marines that he nearly killed someone with his awesomeness. Uncle Jesse tells him to get himself together and either to quit or fight. Luke wins, his alter ego somehow ends up dates the ring girl of the fight, humanity is saved, and the General jumps. Hijinks ensue.

We took a quick break from the Dukes to do a movie review, this time choosing "The Replacements" - the awesome 2000 movie starring Gene Hackman, Keanu Reeves, Jon Favreau, and a number of other greats - including Roy from "The Office" (I forget his name - the guy that was Pam's boyfriend before Jim Halpert). This movie is the story we all want; a chance to live up to the potential of something that we loved from our youth and maybe came close to achieving, but for whatever reason failed at, or it fizzled out, or it just ended for reasons we couldn't control. Keanu is honestly pretty good as a south-paw quarterback and it's a great movie full of inspirational one-liners you'll love to quote. Here's one for you: "Pain heals, Chicks Dig Scars, and Glory Lasts Forever." K&F Show Rating: 8 Corndogs

I'll be honest. After driving a real General Lee it was tough to come down to reality to review a Dukes episode again, but we did it. With that established....this is the first time that a spinoff pilot TV show for the Dukes actually went forward. In this episode the stage is set for Enos Strate, Hazzard's only honest lawman, to depart on his own adventures. Boss fires him, some bad guys kidnap Daisy while she wears an alarmingly awesome tank top, Enos catches them, and then is hired by the LAPD to join them on his own TV series (something like that). He'll be back though when that series flops. The General jumps onto the bad guys car. Hijinks ensue.

This is Part 2 of Carnival of Thrills and it picks up exactly where the last one left off; with Bo punching Luke, taking the General Lee, splitting up the family, and ripping apart the fabric of all that we know to be true and right in the world. Why? Because of the mis-guided love of a she-devil named Diane, that's why. Luke, Jesse, and Daisy won't quit though and prove to Bo that his fool hearted desire to jump 32 cars to impress a wack-o temptress would actually result in his murder and the chick leaving him anyway. So, in the grand scheme of things it's a total lose-lose. Then Bo and Luke reconcile and and do the jump together anyway. Because #integrity. Hijinks ensue.

This is Part 1 of Carnival of Thrills, the biggest, scariest, most Bo vs. Luke fighting-est Dukes episode ever! Seriously, this episode is the one where an evil she-devil stunt show owner named Diane pits Bo vs. Luke, and Bo chooses her and jumping the General Lee over 32 cars over the family. The problem is...the she-devil is being outfoxed by the the first guy she snuggled up to to do the jump and he'll make sure that Bo and the General both fail in a miserable ball of 4th of July fireworks (i.e. he'll kill them). The episode ends with Luke calling Bo out, and the first haymaker is thrown. Oh, and the General is nearly killed. And Boss is up to something terrible. That too. Hijinks ensue.

So...we're in between Dukes of Hazzard seasons and decided to throw in another movie review to take a brief Dukes of Hazzard break. Finnegan suggested (more like insisted) that it be Megafoce, the 1982 epic movie that Hal Needham directed and starred in. Here's the good news: the movie has lots of crazy vehicles, a few funny lines, and stars Edward Mulhare who would go on to play "Devon Miles" from Knight Rider. Here's the bad news: there's really no other good news of note. The movie ends with a flying motorcycle on a green screen, and Barry Bostick wears a spandex (or lycra?) suit with no regards for underwear. Finnegan gives it 8 lazer-guided corndogs. Kibbe gives is a generous 3. Hijinks Ensue.

The "Southern Comfurts" episode is the final one of Season 2....and while it's full of crazy cornball crap, it's as weird an episode as it gets, and for some reason the General Lee gets painted green to go "incognito". Not camo green though. Just a normal, run of the mill, Crayola crayon color of green. Weird. Anyway, the Dukes also help a Southern family with the last name of "Comfurt" who come into a lot of money, only to lose the money in a pirates trunk in the back of a renal car. Boss Hogg tries to get the money, is kidnapped by some out of town bank robbers, and the Dukes save the day in a green General Lee. Did I mention that they paint it on the side of the road somehow? Hijinks ensue.
