Dukes of Hazzard Dropped by TV Land: Bad Rap for the Good Ol' Boys?

How much to get the The General Lee a new paint job? That question might be on the mind of Dukes of Hazzardfans after TV Land yanked twice-daily reruns of the show earlier this week due to controversy over the Confederate flag emblazoned on the roof of the 1969 Dodge Charger driven by its central

While I'm not a fan of the confederate flag (it's not North and South, it's East and West!! Or you could go with elevation since I'm in CO) I loved this show as a kid. Seems a bit knee-jerk to me.

If ever there was a non-racist, non-discriminating, everyone-is-family type of show "Dukes of Hazzard" was it.

The next think you know they will have to edit the damn thing out all the movies about the civil war! Take it out of the history books, remove it from wikipedia, remove it from all museums, and tar and feather any one who owns it.

Just goes to show that TV Land execs are bigger morons than most of our politicians. The only thing offensive about the Dukes was that movie of theirs a few years back.

Utilizing the same concept for removal of the Dukes of Hazzard from TV, I guess with George Takai's characterization of Chief Justice Clarence Thomas as a "clown in a black face" would prompt the removal of Star Trek from TV. Has the population really become so prissy that feelings get hurt? Meanwhile, kids are being shot execution style and crucified by ISIS, but why should we care about them when we can sit here and be our own selfish, uncaring Americans? Get a flipping life people.
