We need to boost Tom...

Calling all Luke Duke and Tom Wopat Fans!

This is so sad, in a radio interview Tom has said that he doesn;t feel his character and role as Luke Duke is as well recognised or as, in some way suggesting Luke wasn't as important, as Daisy and Bo!

It made me so sad to hear that and I think we need to tell him just what we think!! Come on, lets hear some support!

What!!?! What in the world makes him feel like that? He as much a star of the show as John was.

I did notice that, in general, the younger ladies (mid-20s and under) like Bo more and they tend to be much more vocal about their admiration but it doesn't mean the slightly older generation that likes Luke more (we like the fellow close to our age I guess) likes him or Tom any less.

Am I making sense? Big weird looking sentence I made. LOL

[BoJamesDuke]

Yeah I think he meant in relation to the plot lines and things. The interview where he says it is in the Tour Dates and Interview thread have a listen

[dukesrule2000]

Ya I have listen to that interview I going to find away to let Tom Know that he is loved Just as much as John

[Dixie_Nachelle01]

why would he think that? he is loved just as much as john. he was needed just as much as bo. i'm sure the number of I Love Bo and I Love Luke shirts are not that far apart. I hope we can let him know he is loved very much.

I would like to listen to this radio interview which radio station was it on ?".

[RogerDuke]

I am surprised at his remarks. Clearly Luke was always the one to bail everybody out with his brains and ability to make decisions under pressure. Without that, the show couldn't have existed or everybody else would have been in jail and Boss would have owned thefarm. Even considering how wise Uncle Jesse was, it was always Luke that solved the large majority of the problems. A good argument could be made that he was the most important character in the entire history of the show.

Hey Kay,

If you look in the thread entitled Tour Dates and Radio Interview the link is there. I suggest we all bombard Tom's email inbox through his website with comments on this or even tell him to come to Hazzard Net and let him see for himself what we think!!!

I'm agree with you: Bo and Luke were important at the same time.
Maybe, of the 3 cousins is Daisy that had little less scenes, but not she is less important, but 'cause the story had as main caracters the 2 boys!

[dukesrule2000]

I have started a Bulletin going around Myspace.com called Tom Wopat Fans Unite. It's Maninly about us as Fans Letting Tom know that we love him. I will see if I can post it her as well.

i read on a site that Luke was the backbone of the Duke cousins, being the smart one and the thinker.
