| 3485 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @massreality You had the same dilemma? That's comforting and disturbing for both of us. I never thought of the "sophisticated" toy angle, but you're right, it would have been a completely mature purchase to make. It wasn't like it was a Polly Pocket, that's kid's stuff. | Mar 24, 2016 |  | |
| 3432 | Article | massreality | That's some great stuff. I love The Dukes of Hazzard and have visited Cooters in both Nashville and in Gatlinburg. They got a lot of what you talked about on display along with a lot more. Its one of those shows you don't think about when it comes to merchandising, but they made a ton of stuff for it! | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 11, 2016 | |
| 3433 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think the sheer amount of General Lee merchandise that was produced over the years definitely helps you get a better perspective on the marketing behemoth that was the Dukes. The show was huge. I wonder if any of the stars got a cut of the profits from the sale of all that licensed stuff? | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 11, 2016 | |
| 3434 | Article | mickyarber | I think part of the contract dispute when Bo and Luke left the show was partly due to their cut of merchandising. I think they're new contracts stipulated they got an increase in their cut. | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 11, 2016 | |
| 3444 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I was so glad to see the Etch-A-Sketch scenes make an appearance. Aside the General Lee Hot Wheels car, that was my sole piece of merchandise and I loved it. | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 14, 2016 | |
| 3446 | Article | mickyarber | @hoju....I had several different sets of screens for the etch a sketch. Not just Dukes. Those things really ramped up the fun of etch a sketch. | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 15, 2016 | |
| 3448 | Article | OldSchool80s | I had those wrist racers (among many other things)! I loved The Dukes of Hazzard. I had no idea what the confederate flag stood for or any of that and the show really had absolutely nothing to do with that. I had the pleasure of an interview with the show's creator, Gy Waldron, a couple years back. | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 15, 2016 | |
| 3450 | Article | Vaporman87 | You said it OldSchool. The show never represented any negative views toward anyone. That's why I think it was absurd to be yanking it off of television when people were up in arms over the Confederate Flag. People need to get over themselves. | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 16, 2016 | |
| 3461 | Article | kidcoffee | Man this brings me back. I totally had those wrist racers too. Loved mine to death. As for the confederate flag I had no idea there was any stigma attached to it at all as a kid. Heck I used to think it made the regular flag seem boring. | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Mar 17, 2016 | |
| 3546 | Article | SockofFleagulls | I recently visited Cooter's Place in Nashville for the first time and I was taken back at the sheer amount of Dukes merchandise that was released. My friend that was with me who is 10 times the fan I am was even amazed. | Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise | Dec 08, 2016 | |
