'Dukes of Hazzard' nixed in Cincinnati

By LISA CORNWELL, Associated Press Writer Mon Mar 19, 1:35 PM ET

CINCINNATI - The Dukes of Hazzard are getting driven out of town over the Confederate imagery in their good ol' TV show. The stars of the series, John Schneider and Tom Wopat, have segued into musical careers since the show ended production in 1985. Schneider says the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra canceled a planned "Dukes"-themed appearance after contracts were signed because some in the community found the show racist and offensive.

If it helps, IMO, the cut-n-paste is still applicable....;-)

Waylon has been dead for several years. John Schneider actually has a pretty good voice. He had a few country hits some years back. This PC garbage is getting ridiculous.

Anyone seen the new Daisy Duke?!? Grrrrrrr.

In retaliation, Hazzard County has nixed "WKRP in Cincinnati."

BUMP! And this good ol'... 74 years ol', southern boy has always enjoyed the Dukes of Hazzard. Looks like the PC crowd resents us now because we can enjoy a good joke, even when it's on us.

Maybe the program will be replaced by this:

"Soulful Symphony at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
Soulful Symphony and the BSO are making history through an unprecedented partnership. Soulful Symphony is a stunning orchestra composed of 75 exceptionally talented African American musicians. Founded in 2000 by renowned composer, conductor and pianist Darin Atwater, Soulful Symphony blends almost every genre of music - gospel, jazz, classical and more - into a completely original musical experience that will move your feet and stir your soul."

I know. I was sort of poking fun at PC with my comments.

There's a new Daisy Duke from the Dukes of Hazards: the Early Days.

Keith Lockart, Kunzels former understudy, just runs his programs by Teddy Kennedy. Easier.

That hideous movie was bad enough. Now with this "new" Dukes DVD out. They just don't get that most of the time you can't improve on the original.
