I'm a few days late, but happy 46th anniversary to the Dukes Of Hazzard! The pilot "One Armed Bandits" aired for the first time January 26th, 1979 on CBS.
I grew up watching this show. It has turned into a lifelong hyperfixation and comfort media. I'm aware of its controversies and make no excuses for them. They just are. Whatever your opinions on this show are, if indeed you have any, it has gone down in entertainment history. I could essay about this show for hours but I'll spare anyone reading this for now. Suffice to say the way this show reaches across the generational divide is impressive, especially in this era so far removed from its heyday.
Season 1 Luke Duke gives depressed burnout and Season 1 Bo Duke gives ADHD bestie and you can't tell me otherwise.
My toxic trait is that I would've folded. No but Luke and Amy had SO much chemistry and I have NO ONE to talk to about it. I sincerely wish she had been a recurring character so we could've seen a relationship grow between them. Don't get me wrong, Luke's womanizing is a valid reason to dump him but their story had SUCH potential. And not even in a 'she could fix him' way because fuck that. More like 'if he knows what's good for him he'll fix himself'. I actually love the way the Amy and her definitely lesbian coded mechanic Frankie are written in this episode. They feel like real women and not just trope filler. Fun fact: this episode passes the Bechdal test. Amy and Luke are perfect for each other if we had enough time to see them grow tf up and be with each other. No one will convince me otherwise.
A little Tom and John appreciation post. This edit is a little rough with the quality of pics I had, but I couldn't help but notice this parallel of John leaning his head into Tom between the show and real life over the years.
Luke Duke is one of my all time favorite comfort characters honestly. Some of these are implied or mentioned in the show but most are just characteristics I think fit him well.
Take 2. I think I may like this one a little better.
I edited Homesick lyrics with the Duke boys several times and couldn't really decide which one I liked best so I'm probably just going to post them all. Anyway, I really feel like this captures the vibe of Season One.
