Britney Spears might portray Daisy Duke

[baldguy]

"It's a ludicrous idea," said Ben Jones, who played good ol' mechanic Cooter on the 1979-85 TV series, meaning no offense to the popster. "Nobody has ever worn Daisy Dukes as well as Daisy Duke."

Isn't Daisy supposed to be sexy, funny, smart and tough? Britney isn't any of those.

And, just incidently, Catherine Bach could act too.

1. Get bent, Britney

I agree with Cooter. There can be only one Daisy. As he suggests, bring back the original actors and introduce the "next generation" of Dukes. Putting all of those "flash in the pan" young actors into those classic roles is just wrong.

Dukes of Hazzard was the most important thing in the world to me right around late elementary - early junior high. Just a fun, innocent show with a super-cool car. Kinda too bad now that I'm older I recognize the inappropriateness of a car named General Lee with a confederate flag on the roof.

2. Ben Jones

is a sorry ass Clinton bashing hack.

3. Ben Jones is a Democrat

He was in Congress until he lost re-election to Newt Gingrich.

4. Not another "tv show gone tacky movie" gambit

If they want to make money, make GOOD TV shows and release the old ones, by season, remastered on DVD for pity sake!

DO NOT REMAKE "THE DUKES OF HAZARD"!!! They will ruin it just like they've ruined everything else. Well, except for "The Brady Bunch" which actually took a refreshing, new approach to the concept...

5. how can you ruin the dukes of hazard?

it was already a low point in american television

6. Incorrect. The official low point of american TV was

when Jackass made omelettes by vomiting the ingredients into a hot pan

7. LOL...

as was Gilligan's Island, Three's Company and the Rush Limbaugh Show.

But I gotta admit............Catherine Bach made an impression on me.

:bounce:

8. Oh it's mindless campy fun!

Keeping it in its proper mindset, and in tolerable doses, it's quite fun. And it was made in an age of innocence. We ought to know better these days.....

The movie version will just take out the class and add in tasteless humor.

9. Britney bashing is so last Tuesday

Yeah so she's been overmarketed, thats the nature of her business as someone who makes pop music. I mean if someone wanted to cast her as the lead in a remake of Casablanca, then yes outrage would be expected and justified. Hell I could think of worse things than Britney Spears in Daisy Duke shorts....

[rasputin1952]

11. I can think of worse things than Spears as Daisey Duke too...

Like Ann Coulter as Daisy Duke! :scared:

Gotta bleach my eyes after that thought......Good Lord, Now I've got Nancy Reagan as Daisy......I can't stop it.......AAAAAAGGGGHHHH.....I'm gonna pluck out my eyes!!!


:crazy: :freak:

10. Will they repaint the General Lee?

Replace the stars and bars with a rainbow flag? Anyone know?
