I’m saddened by this. “Dukes” was very much a staple in my family household on Friday nights back then. Shame there are not many shows (if any) that all of the family can sit down and watch and have fun.

I never watched a single episode of Hazzard. It was brain poison. But I really like Shenandoah — I’ll have to re-watch and keep an eye out for Best.

When he was on “Dukes”, he made a personal appearance at Opryland and I got to go up on stage with him (I was about 6 or so, this was around 1980). I made such a fool of myself they just about had to drag me off the stage with a hook (I didn’t want to leave !). RIP, Mr. Best.

I must have been too old to appreciate the "humor" of that show.
Peace to his family.

Boss Hogg was the funniest character on that show and Roscoe was #2 IMO. Just the sight of little Boss Hogg in that white suit, hat and cigar was sooo funny— the southern accent, facial expressions.. Some darn good actors those two were.

He was in so many movies and TV shows! Wonderful in Dukes of course but he played everything from comedy to drama.
Thank you James!
RIP

I saw him in a twilight zone episode the other day with Lee Marvin & Lee Van Cliffe. It was an awesome story.

That was a funny show and a staple for us. R.I.P. Deputy.

Who could forget the 1959 epic The Killer Shrews!
To: lowbridge
Watching a DOH rerun as an adult is tedious, but it was great entertainment for us as youngsters. If we behaved ourselves, the reward was being able to stay up to watch The Incredible Hulk, which came on after DOH. My younger brother and I still smile when we see anything related to DOH—fond memories, indeed. RIP, James.

Sad to hear. I saw Best and his wife at a show a few years ago, and chatted with him about “The Killer Shrews” (1959), an old favorite of mine, schlockiness and all. Love that ridiculous film. Always brings back warm memories of weekend late-shows on tv.
He had a really long and prolific career, appearing in practically every drama/western series around, back in the late-1950s and 1960s. He could play such a nice, goofy, likeable sort, but also a mean villain. Effective in both.

I guess he won't be appearing in a third Killer Shrews movie.

I never watched the show but I am eternally grateful for the gift of “Daisy Dukes”, a joy in denim.
