An Enjoyable Way to Spend 45 Minutes

I was considering calling this post “Guilty Pleasure”, but since a guilty pleasure is one you don’t talk about in public, and is usually way out of character, that title really doesn’t fit.

Here’s the truth: I enjoy watching the “Dukes of Hazzard”. The TV show, not the movie. It was always believably acted; the characters were pretty well fleshed out and the storylines were… well, the storylines weren’t usually plausible. But when you had fit in a crooked county government, at least 2 good lookin’ women, at least 3 car chases and at least 4 wrecked police cars into 45 minutes, some sacrifices had to be made. And if the choice was the car chase or the plot device, they always opted for the car chase.

And in my opinion, that was the correct choice.

It kept the show consistent for 7 seasons and 3 reunion movies and pretty constant cable reruns. So I guess I’m not the only one who watches.
