K&F Show #383: 230 Feet of General Lee Glory! // Dukes Review: S2E10 “Granny Annie”

Granny Annie prints her own five-dollar bills, Boss Hogg tries to make a deal with the wrong guy, and the General Lee flies roughly 230 feet over a set of railroad tracks. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie revisit “Granny Annie” from The Dukes of Hazzard, and all three give it a 10 out of 10.

The General Lee’s 230-foot railroad jump

Al Wyatt Jr. sent the ’69 Dodge Charger sailing over the railroad tracks in Oxnard, California. Corndog points out the fluid spraying from the front of the General while it’s still in the air and explains how the hit on the ramp likely damaged the radiator. Then there’s what happened after landing. According to the behind-the-scenes account we discuss, traffic had reopened beyond the landing area, the brakes reportedly weren’t working, and Wyatt steered the Charger into a parked box truck to stop it. We also explain how to tell Wyatt’s jump apart from John Cade’s jump at the same tracks in the opposite direction. And there’s still a hard side-impact crash and a Plymouth Fury lake jump to talk about.

The moment Rosco says “please”

Granny Annie accidentally pays Bo and Luke with counterfeit bills after they help around her house. Boss smells a payday in her engraving plates, but his deal with Big Jim Downey puts his life in danger. When Rosco gets on the CB and asks the Dukes for help, one word tells them how serious it is. James Best gives the episode its most heartfelt moment, and Bo and Luke go after Boss without hesitation.

We also cover Mickey Jones filling in at Cooter’s garage as B.B. Davenport, the Oak Ridge Boys’ early stop at the Boar’s Nest, and the covered bridge at Disney’s Golden Oak Ranch that connects this episode to Joe Dirt.
