Theme song lyrics like this deserve the right car. Enter the General Lee. The 01. The orange 1969 Dodge Charger wins the high jump in famous TV/Movie cars for me. Although, the rebel flag on the roof clashes with the car’s orange paint scheme in more ways than one, the 01 racing number on the doors will never be matched as the Dukes of Hazard flattened the hills of Hazard county.

It is hard to find camaraderie in large group of people and even harder to pronounce. Friends worked because of their camaraderie. I can’t stop trying to pronounce camaraderie. The Rembrandts “I’ll Be There For You” is now synonymous with the show, and gets stuck in your head like the word camaraderie. Ding di da ding, ding ding da ding ding. Did I get that right?
