June is shaping up to be a humdinger of a month for Dukes related events and product releases. Since we here at HNet have been slacking since April, it’s time for Boss to collectively kick us all in the posterior, threaten to take away our patrol cars and give us trikes (which may not be a bad idea. Khee!) if we don’t start meeting our quota. So here we go!

Coming up first on June 3rd, Ben Jones’s book, “Redneck Boy in the Promised Land: The Confessions of ‘Crazy Cooter'” will be released. Check out Cooter’s site for more information and links to order the book.

Then on June 10th, we have the DVD release of the two reunion movies. Remember y’all, the rumor is that if the reunion movies sell well, WB will give serious consideration to releasing “Enos” and the Dukes Cartoon Series on DVD too!

And we close out the month of June with a bash at the Atlanta Motor Speeday with DukesFest! Thirty years have passed since the Dukes first decended on the state of Georgia and the General Lee first jumped over Rosco’s patrol car. Ain’t nothin’ been the same since. Khee!

All we need now is for a cable channel to pick up the series again.

We have totally revamped our auctions section. We’ve included more than just auctions for cast memorabilia. There are now auctions for each character and other Dukes of Hazzard memorabilia like dvds, t-shirts, toys, and more. We also have listings for auctions for REAL General Lees for sale, other Hazzard vehicles, car parts, dixie horns, and more. Check out our Dukes of Hazzard auctions. If there’s something specific you’re looking for, use our handy search function or contact us and ask us to add a page for the items you’re looking for. Enjoy!

Ask anybody around here and Dukes of Hazzard fans would say “YEEHAA!”

AOL Television recently put out their list of TV’s 50 Sexiest Women Ever and Catherine Bach came in at a Dixiefried number 9!

Of course, she’s number 01 to us and always will be!

We love the folks over at TVShowsOnDVD.com. Back in October, they broke the news and we passed along to y’all about the rumours of WB releasing the two original cast reunion movies to DVD (along with the “Enos” series and the short lived Dukes cartoon series). Well mark your calendars y’all! June 10th, The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! and The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood are being released together! Check out the packaging!!

You can read more about the upcoming release here.

(Thanks Jax for the heads up!)

Despite a weak storyline and endless close-ups of Ford logos, the new Knight Rider tv-movie solidly captured its Sunday night time slot.

Knight Rider pulled away with the highest audience numbers, being over 12 million people, including the all-important male demographic of 18 to 40-something. We’d break down all the numbers in more detail, but we’re lazy and this ain’t about the Dukes of Hazzard anyhow.

NBC is in full peacock strut over Knight Rider’s Sunday night victory, and barring anything unforeseen, the new Knight Rider series is locked in for the fall.

A number of questions remain in light of the Knight Rider resurgence. Will KITT’s new camouflage colors include Hemi Orange? As a Ford, will KITT require even more trips to the maintenance bay for repairs? Can he tow himself?

Meanwhile, The General Lee remains the number 01, all-time popular tv and movie car. Will Warner Bros ever wake up and smell the motor oil?
