The Dukes of Hazzard/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** Meanwhile, Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse) was from Colorado and Sorrell Booke (Boss Hogg) was from Buffalo, New York.

* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Sorrell Booke and James Best, in contrast to their [[Affably Evil]] characters Boss Hogg and Rosco P. Coltrane. Both were well-respected by their castmates and genuinely loved children ... so much that during the height of their popularity -- from the peak of the original CBS run to the late 1980s, when the show was one of the top syndicated hits -- Best and Booke were available to appear at children's birthday parties, where they would appear in-character as Boss and Rosco (and do several of their comedy bits and pretend that they were going after the Duke boys).

** The show is a combination of this and [[Spiritual Licensee]] to the film ''Moonrunners'', right down to having [[Waylon Jennings]] narrating both productions.

** Jerry Rushing, a real life ex-moonshiner whose reminisces were used as the basis for ''Moonrunners'' (and who had a [[Real Person Cameo]] in that film), went on to sue Warner Brothers for developing ''Dukes'' without giving him credit.
