Warner Brothers will be releasing The Dukes cartoons series on DVD through their manufacture-on-demand program on November 30th! WB has released a lot of great old and rare films through this program and it’s available through their WBShop.com website (check out the WB Archive). Let’s hope that they’ll release Enos through this program as well!
Thanks to Daney and to the folks over at TVShowsonDVD.com for the news! As soon we hear about box art and all we’ll share here!
Yeeehaww!
We’re planning on having a costume and pumpkin contest again this year. You can dress up as whatever you want or carve whatever you want in your pumpkin, as long as it’s PG-13 or lower. All entries will be judged by Meadowmufn, MaryAnne, and Brian. They have the last say on everything. (Don’t they always? Khee!) First place winners will receive a $20 Amazon gift card. Due to lack of entries last year, we will only have first place prizes this year. However, if we receive more entries this year, we may expand the number of prizes.
We’re also adding a new contest this year. Generate your own funny tombstone saying. We were inspired by the amusing tombstones that sit outside the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. We found a great tombstone generator where you can generate and download your tombstone.
You can post all your entries in the 2010 Official Halloween Contest thread.
For costume ideas, check out BuyCostumes.com. They also have some great pumpkin carving kits and ideas.
Last Friday, legendary television producer, writer and novelist Stephen J. Cannell passed away at the age of 69. Although Mr. Cannell had absolutely nothing to do with the Dukes of Hazzard television series, many Dukes fans who watched the Dukes during its original run also watched several of his shows, such as The A-Team, The Greatest American Hero, The Rockford Files, Hardcastle and McCormack, Stingray, Renegade and many others. Stephen Cannell’s shows reached an audience far and wide and spanned through the 70’s, 80’s and into the 90’s.
The HazzardNet staff are fans of many of his shows. His was a creative talent that was not deterred by and did not relent to the odds that were placed against him. He overcame and succeeded. His was a success story that we can all admire and strive for ourselves.
We salute you, Mr. Cannell. You will be greatly missed.
CMT will be running a Dukes of Hazzard mini-marathon October 1st, 2nd and 3rd! Another weekend of the Dukes! And if that weren’t great enough, CMT will also be airing both reunion movies. Reunion! will air Saturday night at 8pm and Hazzard in Hollywood will be broadcast on Sunday night at 8pm.
And if you miss the Saturday night airing of Reunion! you can basically park yourself in front of the tv starting at 6pm and watch BOTH movies back to back!
The mini-marathon begins Friday night at 7pm. Check out CMT for schedules and episodes.
Yeeehaaaww!!
A special issue of People magazine entitled “Television Shows That Changed Our Lives” acknowledges the Dukes of Hazzard as one such program. A color, single-page photo on page 71 features Bo, Luke and Daisy standing alongside the General Lee. The photo appears to be from the 4th season of the program. Per People, the life-changing legacy of The Dukes of Hazzard is the advent of Daisy Duke shorts. The article is brief (as are the shorts!) but the full-page color photo is worth the buy. The special issue of People is on shelves right now, and will be available until 12/10/10, or while supplies last. Be prepared to shell out $11.99 for each issue. Oh, just buy it, before they’re grabbed up by ebay sharks and offered for a higher price later.
