I do not jest in the least.
The "innocent" Dukes pushed the envelope as far as the times would allow--in other words, they were going for all the actions and suggestion of sex they could. As for hot-panted Daisy carrying "herself like a lady." Yeah, okay. You must be a Southerner. Seriously, if you are one, and you're old enough to remember the show, then you're old enough to remember REAL ladies, and they did not comport themselves like Daisy, who did not know the word comport.
I've been watching the old reruns on CMT....I am sure people weren't so demure and stiff. It's not a sleazy show. It's family oriented.
If I could watch it as a kid, then it wasn't half bad. And no, I'm not a southerner.
