Quote: avianrandythose legs never end lol. I wonder if the actors who played bo and luke duke are still alive?

I think they are still around. I think the actors who played Boss Hogg and Uncle Jesse have also died, but 40 years after the show, that's to be expected.
Quote: WizardRick Hurst left us today. If the name isn't familiar, he played Cletus Hogg on one of my favorite childhood shows, The Dukes of Hazzard.
He ended up a Chuck Cunningham. After Enos got back to town there was no reason for him to be there. IIRC they patrolled together for a few episodes then *poof* he was never heard from again. Maybe he hung out with Coy and Vance wherever they ended up.
Quote: avianrandyI figured they were probably close to Cletus age is why I asked. Google says join Schneider is 65 and tom wopat 73. John Schneider has been married 4 times

In 2017, Tom Wopat was arrested in a town not too far from me for accosting an underage female member of a stage production he as in, as well as drug (cocaine) charges. He pled guilty to annoying and accosting a person of the opposite sex and got probation. His arrest made local news at the time.
Quote: GenoDRPh...He pled guilty to annoying and accosting a person of the opposite sex...
That's a crime?
I think I need a lawyer.
For both defense and prosecution.

She looks like the girl you and the other time traveler here have been fighting over.
But I have enough experience with trick questions to suspect it really isn't. On the other hand, I could be too clever by half. Maybe anyone else would expect some tricks?

If I remember correctly, she died from a treatable disease.
I might be getting her mixed up with the one who lost her head in a car accident.

It's Lucille Ball when she was 18 in 1929 and started working as a model. She started making movies in the early 1930s. Now that you know who she is you can see it immediately. I Love Lucy never stopped playing all over the world since it came out in the early fifties. Even today it's on all kinds of cable channels and Pluto TV has a 24-hour I Love Lucy channel.
Quote: avianrandyKnowing she had red hair would have been a big help. Good photo but it's in black and white

She was not a redhead, it was medium brown and she dyed it blonde and then red in the 40's.

At age 18. You have a source for that photo. They don't look alike. Different noses which is pretty hard to do with just make up even today much less 1929
And she was clearly dyed Blonde in 1929!
EDIT: Forget it. Google Lens lookup confirms it's NOT Lucille Ball.
It's Jean Harlowe. SMH.

If that's true it's not my mistake. I was reading an article about the life of Lucille Ball and this was one of the pictures and the captain said it was her when she started her modeling career.

What's fascinating about Desi and Lucy is that they pretty much invented modern television. He came up with the three camera method, doing it in front of a live audience, but the biggest thing Desi Arnaz came up with was he invented the rerun. Him and Lucy lived in Los Angeles because she was a movie star and they wanted them to move to New York because all the sitcoms were live and shot in New York City. So Desi Arnaz said well let's film it like it's a movie and then you can show it anytime you want. CBS said that's way too expensive so Lucy and Desi took $1,000 a week which was a tremendous amount of money in 1950 from their salary and they filmed it themselves but CBS had to give them the rights to the show. Which they gladly did, foolishly, because they said nobody's ever going to want to watch a TV episode they've already seen. When Lucy got pregnant in the last month she couldn't work so Desi showed reruns for the first time ever on television and they were a huge hit. The ratings did not go down one bit and the rest of the industry noticed and immediately started copying it. Desi Arnaz always acted like the buffoon and he was anything but.

Dave Parker part of the Family and the Big Red Machine, he was fun to watch. I only know D. Wayne Lucas from the Kentucky Derby.
Lukas won the Belmont Stakes three years in a row and won a boatload of Triple Crown races.
RIP

Dave became one of the most hated Pittsburgh athletes ever by the time he left. First million dollar baseball player did not help him in a town with all the mills closing down.

8. The Boar's Nest
9. Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg
12. Runnin' 'shine
14. The Dukes got away - I think usually by jumping over some river or stream that the police cars ended up falling into
16. Abraham Lincoln Hogg
18. They had to sing - "a lot"
19. They became NASCAR racers
20. Coy and Vance
21. Enos, and the name of the show was "Enos"
Here's some bonus trivia, which is put in a spoiler as one of the questions gives away the answer to one of the original questions:
2. What condition did CBS put on Daisy's clothing?
3. Why did Wopat and Schneider briefly leave the show, anyway?
2. She had to wear pantyhose every time she wore her "Daisy Dukes" shorts.
3. It depends on who told the story. They claimed that they were tired of the same old dumbed down scripts. The producers claimed they wanted a larger share of the merchandise. In the end, the scripts did not get better, but they did get more of the merchandise money.
