Angry fans demand ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ return to television
Media Equalizer ^ | Brian Maloney

Posted on 07/02/2015 11:34:34 AM PDT by GulliverSwift

Upset over its abrupt cancellation, “Dukes of Hazzard” fans are demanding the corporate parent of TVLand immediately restore the iconic program to its daily schedule.

Supporters of the show have been flocking to the “Stop Banning Dukes of Hazzard” Change.org petition, with signatures increasing at a rate of thousands per hour. In just an hour of monitoring its progress, the Media Equalizer watched its total number rise from 25,000 to 33,000, already close to reaching its stated goal of 35,000. (1:33pm update: total over 40,000)

It was initiated by Donald Covell of Coldwater, Michigan, who said in the description that “‘The Dukes’ was about family values, fighting corruption, helping friends, neighbors and even strangers, no matter what color they were. There were multiple episodes where they helped people of colors other than ‘white’, and it even had a black sheriff that appeared often, who was respected and feared more then the sheriff of Hazzard.”

Perhaps they can get Lucas or Spielberg to digitally change the confederate battle flag into an ISIS battle flag. And the Dukes can shoot arrows with wallkie talkies tied to them. .....and never shoot first.

Instead, they’ll run back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back- to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back- to-back-to-back-to-back reruns of “Rosanne,” starring a digusting socialist bitch who has in the past called for Tea Partiers to be rounded up and executed.

And they can change the name of the car from the General Lee, to Major Mistake, or General Nuisance

It’s just as stupid to demand that someone host your favorite TV show as it is to demand that someone bake you a cake for a gay wedding. I think they would have better results if they canceled their cable en masse, or petitioned a different station to consider showing it. MeTV shows lots of old tv shows on local channels. No charge.

Hopefully, it will be picked up by another network, i.e., MeTV, UP-TV or INSP.

..... FReepers should mobilize to sign the petition to smear egg all over TV-Land and WB’s collective politically correct face. BTW .... WB pulled the licensing of DoH merchandise.

I’ve watched a lot of episodes of “The Walton’s” lately, and I’ve noticed they have the Confederate flag in the school classroom. I wonder if those episodes will disappear?

DoH portrayed politicians in a bad light. Cops too. The govt dont like that kind of propaganda. TSA likely shut it down.

Never was a fan of that show, but I guess I should go sign just out of principle.

I doubt if this recent hysteria is going to cease. The Confederate flag, a symbol of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, and ONLY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY as well as the KKK (created and maintained by the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, didn't seem to bother these filthy hypocrites.

No mention by these intellectual jackasses that the Negroes were bought, beaten, and held as slaves by the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, and they were freed by Abraham Lincoln in the REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Would love to hear what Whoopie Moron would have to say about this if confronted. But who'd want to get that close to her?

‘The Dukes’ was about family values, fighting corruption, helping friends, neighbors and even strangers, no matter what color they were.

Sounds like a good description of your average modern Southerner... who might also be flying the battle flag over his boat, out on the bayou.

I think they’re going to cave just like A&E did with Phil.

Or at least that’s my wishful thinking.

It doesn’t matter if Tea Party folks are offended. It only matters if the Left is offended.

Yep. TV Land couldn't exist without the cable kickbacks.
