Y'know what's funny?

That "Cooter" wants us to share his outrage that this new version of his POS show is a disrespectful remake with too much violence and sexuality. The ORIGINAL was too violent and sexy back then, according to all the pundits and culture priests who damned it.

Garbage in, garbage out.

I don't know about the new one--I'm skipping it because it looks like absolutely junk, not because of offensive content--but I watch the original almost every night on DVD, and whoever these people are who damned it for violence and sexuality didn't even watch it. It's a comedy above anything else, and the violence is on the level of a cartoon. It's actually pretty wholesome, with the Duke family praying to God before meals and so forth. You don't see much of that any more.

I know Ben Jones is a Democrat, but I don't think Denver Pyle was, and I know John Schneider isn't. And, Ben Jones has some bad political ideas, but he was for impeachment. Just some fun facts there.

Bwaa haaa, surely you jest. Daisy wore her "hotpants" but she always carried herself like a lady. There was always a moral behind the story. Not today, Hollywood has gone overboard with the sex and violence...actually the sexuality is what gets on my nerves. It's in overdrive!
