Dukes of Hazzard - "Ghost of the General Lee" Roscoe Sad Scene 1

James Best - a.k.a. "Sheriff Roscoe P. Coletrane" is in my opinion, very underrated as an actor. He is most well known for playing Roscoe as a bumbling idiot, which he did very well. In this touching scene from "Ghost of the General Lee" James Best shows his range as an actor, as he reacts to what he thinks is the death of Bo and Luke Duke.

The emotion the both of them shown in this scene was amazing. Usually they would say something that would make us laugh even though it wasn't meant to be funny but when a rare moment like this comes up and they get to show another emotion that is heartbreaking, it's powerful.

Yeah, one of the best things about this show is that, even though they were officially enemies in most cases, Rosco/ Boss and the Dukes still cared about each other deep down. I mean, whenever the Dukes caused Rosco to crash, they'd always stop to make sure he was ok before driving off, and the one time they thought he wasn't, they looked all over for him. It would be even harder for Enos, though, he was friends with Bo and Luke since they were kids.

James Best was a tremendous actor. He did dozens of shows and made hundreds of appearances, including many serious roles, before he did The Dukes. His performance in this scene characterizes just how good he was.

Look, say what you want about the Dukes of Hazzard this show was great. The stories were fantastic. The narration by Waylon Jennings. He was terrific. I know nowadays this show would never be aired because of " racial " tones but there was no Kkk reference no misuse of the Word ( you know). And the car is in a stratosphere by itself!! The General Lee. Face it there were people who actually lived like that.. they had values. They had family. They were not rich in monetary status but happy with what they had!!!!

I think it would air today. It would definitely get flak at first, but once people watched it they’d get over it and know they’re not racist assholes. I feel like this show was mocking those people because they’re the exact opposite

It’s sad because those people in the fucking minority the ones who would bitch about this a.k.a. the fascist twitter snowflake Libtards probably wouldn’t even watch the show at all they would just see the confederate flag and have a complete mental meltdown even though the symbolism of the flag in the show doesn’t represent racism at all.

@beatleman69 4 жыл бұрын

Nobody cared when it originally aired and when it went into syndication either. The only reason the pantie waste executives from CMT and others pulled it cause of that little bastard that shot those black church members in Charleston, SC years ago and a picture of him surfaced of him holding a Confederate flag in his hand and everyone one lost it! How pathetic our society has become. This show was never racist by any means. The Confedrate flag was the flag of the Confederacy long before slaves ever showed up here. It isn't a flag of slavery. Total BS!!

This scene wasn't in the script for this episode. The scene called for Rosco and Enos to go to the edge of the pond and Enos says "Poor Bo, Poor Luke" end of scene according to the script. Sonny Shroyer argued with the director to do this scene the way you see here, after about 30 min. they let him jump in and get the clothes out and ad lib it. Really made this scene.

He tries to act like he doesn't care. But it's through his childish persona you get a feeling that he is truly a caring man.

He's the most selfless character and that's why I think he's the most beloved character. If there was anyone who couldn't love Rosco, well there was something wrong with 'em. What do you expect it is that the Dukes, or even Boss can't stay mad at him for long?

@Adamguy2003 6 жыл бұрын

That is actually a good point about Rosco being selfless, I hadn't thought of that before. Even when doing villainous acts, it was pretty much always out of his loyalty to Boss rather than out of self- interest.

@cnkclark 4 жыл бұрын

He was a loyal henchman but he wasn't mean about it. He did Boss's dirty work and took glee in his rivalry with the Dukes but he never wished them actual harm. A genuinely likable 'villain' character - at the end of the day you knew he was as much about the spirit of the game as he was about Boss's latest greedy scheme. And when something like this happened, it was his nightmare.

@MsDoctorWhoFan1 12 жыл бұрын

Good acting from James Best (Rosco). I wish there had been more scenes that showed more depth to his charecter like in this episode. There is also the Granny Annie episode and Opening Night at the Boars Nest. but they don't come close to this. Depressing moments in DOH were hard to come by. Thats why there's fan fiction. :)
