Those of us who grew up with "The Dukes of Hazzard" in the '80s ... would you ever have dreamed of watching an episode of your beloved classic TV show with one of its stars, at a place owned by another one of its stars? Well, Ben ("Cooter Davenport") Jones has lined it up for you at his Nashville location of Cooter's Place, which this author has visited, and thoroughly enjoyed on its own. The prettiest Duke will be there, Catherine ("Daisy Duke") Bach. You can get your tickets now for this event, which was just too good to not blog about.
This author can definitely say I've seen several of these wonderful goodies at many a show over the years. This collection belongs to our bud Byron ("Coy Duke") Cherry of "The Dukes of Hazzard," and BRBTV has had the pleasure to attend some great shows with him.
This show, however, was not a "Dukes" event but a private event attended by our friend Patrick Shawn Bennett, and it took place this past Saturday evening in southeast Texas. Call this post a follow-up from our March 6 post (next one below, conveniently!), where we discussed Byron's latest film project "The Not So Great Outdoorsmen." Patrick had Byron and other cast/crew from the film as guests on his podcast, "Filmsquatch."
"We’re setting up a table so he can do some autographs tonight," Patrick told BRBTV just before Saturday's event. "It’s a dinner and concert. There will be about 100 people here. It’s a fundraiser for a local cat shelter."
Well, that's just awesome. We love to see both Byron and Patrick out and about, supporting a cool cause. That's them in the photo below, joined by a couple guys from the film's cast / crew. Patrick is on the far right, and Byron is next to him, then there's Michael Murray (who plays Bigfoot in the film) and Tony Lawson.
I feel like I'm getting a bit of a scoop here -- some "Dukes"-related content you won't see anywhere else, so thanks, Patrick!

We love to see our bud Byron Cherry, aka Coy Duke of "The Dukes of Hazzard," out and about, nabbing new roles. He's honestly one of the nicest and most accessible celebs BRBTV has ever had the pleasure to meet. The latest film he's done is a short exploring Bigfoot lore, called "The Not So Great Outdoorsmen," and Byron was just yesterday featured on a podcast discussing the film.
This podcast happens to be from another bud of BRBTV, Patrick Shawn Bennett of the Pop Ninja podcast. He does another podcast called Filmsquatch with his friend, Kendall Fontenot. Patrick and Kendall are big Bigfoot fans and determined to watch any and all movies that feature this mythical (?) creature.
Shot in Missouri and released at the end of January, "The Not So Great Outdoorsmen" depicts two inept outdoorsmen who find themselves on a quest to find the elusive Bigfoot. The film also includes Mountain Man from "Duck Dynasty," Tim Guraedy. The film's small crew shot the movie in just five days. Pratfalls, favorite scenes, "The Three Stooges" and all kinds of other stuff comes up in this conversation with not only Byron but with a few others from the movie's production.
The crew is planning some showings, promotion and distribution for the film. To learn more about the Filmsquatch podcast series, check out the Facebook page, and you can listen to the episode from the show's website. Also, like and subscribe at the podcast's YouTube channel, where you can see the visual version of this episode, which, heck, we'll just include below!
Ahoy, there, and welcome to a whole new season of the Terrific non-TV Toys series. First up for this fresh new season is an adorable plush Batman that's been circulating out there for a few years, actually. This author received it as a Christmas gift from a family member, and it is chubby and Chibi and oh-so cute. It's a version of the Caped Crusader that commemorates the various Bat-emblems that he has worn on his chest over the decades, and it was released in summer 2019 to also celebrate the DC superhero's 80th anniversary.
Indulge your love of the Caped Crusader with "Batman: The Animated Series, A BRBTV Report," a short, snappy, exploration of the landmark TV show in e-book format for your Kindle or tablet -- and at only a buck and a half!
