Season 2 continues with "The Rustlers," as the Duke Boys team up with country music legend Mel Tillis to protect his prized racehorse from Boss Hogg, horse rustlers, and one crooked horse dealer. While the General Lee doesn't get as much screen time as usual, this episode delivers plenty of memorable moments—including a race between the General Lee and a thoroughbred, Uncle Jesse's now-famous climb out of the General, and Boss Hogg's hilarious attempts to impress Lulu. In this review, Rob, Corndog, and Bernie discuss Mel Tillis' unforgettable guest appearance, the real-life story behind his famous stutter, and the surprising appearance of Dorothy Collier, who would later marry James Best and become Dorothy Best. Corndog also breaks down several production details, including one of the rare General Lees without a roll bar, continuity clues, classic vehicle sightings, and hidden details that longtime Dukes fans will appreciate. The crew also plays another round of the Automotive Celebrity Birthday Game, Bernie brings the latest automotive news, and everyone debates one important question: Could the General Lee really outrun a racehorse? Whether you're a longtime Dukes fan or simply love classic TV and vintage muscle cars, there's plenty to enjoy in this week's review.

This week on The Kibbe & Friends Show, the guys kick things off by discussing the growing rumors that Dodge could return to NASCAR competition in 2027. With new reports suggesting progress on both the race car and engine program, Rob, Corndog, and Bernie debate what Dodge's return could look like, how manufacturer-supported engines compare to the competition, and whether NASCAR has become too standardized compared to the glory days of stock car racing. Next up is another hilarious edition of the Automotive Celebrity Birthday Game, featuring movie and television trivia from Ghostbusters, Risky Business, Apollo 13, Friends, Herbie: Fully Loaded, and more before Bernie delivers this week's news, including Ford's efforts to improve quality control, a wild Costco tequila sampling story, and a few Fourth of July laughs courtesy of National Parts Depot. Finally, the crew heads back to Hazzard County for Season 2, Episode 2: "Gold Fever." They revisit the fake gold bar scheme, Boss Hogg's latest bad investment, the unforgettable mobile dentist, and one of the early episodes that truly established the fun, action-packed formula that made The Dukes of Hazzard a television classic. Along the way they break down Al Wyatt's incredible stunt driving, General Lee trivia, production bloopers, and the behind-the-scenes details that only lifelong Dukes fans tend to notice.

Season 2 of The Dukes of Hazzard gets underway with "Days of Shine and Roses," an episode that takes fans back to the moonshine-running days of Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg. What starts with a collection of old "home movies" quickly turns into one last Ridge Runner race as two longtime rivals settle an old score the only way they know how—with fast cars, back roads, and plenty of Hazzard County chaos. This episode is packed with memorable automotive moments, including Uncle Jesse's blacked-out Mustang, Boss Hogg's Camaro, the return of a familiar blown big-block Chevy engine, and some fantastic stunt driving throughout. From Buzz Bundy's smooth two-wheel driving to Luke's daring mid-race transfer between the General Lee, Uncle Jesse's Mustang, and Cooter's tow truck, there's no shortage of behind-the-scenes details for the guys to dive into. Join Rob, CornDog, and Bernie as they break down the episode, point out filming mistakes and continuity quirks, discuss one of the wildest General Lee landings of the early seasons, and share the kind of observations that only lifelong Dukes of Hazzard fans can appreciate. If you love classic television, vintage muscle cars, and practical stunt work, this is another fun trip back to Hazzard County.

Disney's The Love Bug wasn't just a hit movie—it created one of the most recognizable automotive stars in entertainment history. Long before KITT, the General Lee, or Lightning McQueen, a little Volkswagen Beetle named Herbie captured audiences with personality, charm, and a racing spirit that made generations of car enthusiasts believe their own vehicles might have a soul. In this episode, Rob, Corn Dog, and Bernie revisit the original 1969 classic that launched an entire franchise. From Dean Jones' role as struggling racer Jim Douglas to the villainous Peter Thorndyke and the practical effects that brought Herbie to life, the crew explores what made this Disney film such a phenomenon. They also discuss the movie's racing action, behind-the-scenes movie magic, and why Herbie remains one of the most beloved automotive characters ever created. The Love Bug was a massive box office success, earning more than ten times its production budget and becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 1969. Nearly sixty years later, it still holds up as a fun, family-friendly movie that combines racing, comedy, and heart in a way few automotive films ever have. Join the guys as they celebrate the movie that started it all and revisit one of the greatest car stars ever put on the silver screen.

The Season 1 finale of The Dukes of Hazzard may be one of the most important episodes in the entire series. "Double Sting" takes everything that made those first 12 episodes special and blends it into the formula that would define the show for years to come. You’ve got out-of-town crooks, a clever scheme, Rosco and Boss caught in the middle of the chaos, Daisy stepping up to save the day, and of course plenty of General Lee action. Looking back, this episode feels like the blueprint for what The Dukes of Hazzard would become. The story centers around a fake quarantine that traps nearly everyone inside the Hazard County jail while a pair of bank robbers disguised as Laurel and Hardy pull off their heist. That leaves Daisy and Cooter carrying much of the action outside the jailhouse, leading to some genuinely fun and memorable moments. Along the way, we get rare nighttime footage of the General Lee with its headlights on, plenty of comedy from the guest stars, and one of the most recognizable stunts of the entire series. Most importantly, this episode features what may be the greatest General Lee jump of Season 1—and one that even non-Dukes fans have to admit is impressive. From the action to the humor to the unforgettable stunt work, "Double Sting" closes out the first season in style. Join us as we break down the episode, uncover behind-the-scenes details, and revisit a true Dukes of Hazzard classic. The post K&F Show #368: The Greatest General Lee Jump? // Dukes of Hazzard S1E13 “Double Sting” Review first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.
In this episode of The Dukes of Hazzard, Boss Hogg cooks up one of his most ambitious scams yet when he's tasked with turning over a million dollars in worn-out currency to be destroyed and replaced with fresh cash. Rather than follow the rules, Boss devises a plan to keep the money, collect the replacement funds, and cash in on an insurance claim at the same time. To pull it off, he recruits his second cousin twice removed, Cletus Hogg, making this the memorable first appearance of the lovable deputy-to-be who would become a longtime fan favorite. Rob Kibbe, Corndog, and Bernie McPartland revisit this classic Season 1 episode and break down Boss Hogg's elaborate fraud scheme, the introduction of Rick Hurst as Cletus Hogg, and the impressive General Lee action that fills the episode from start to finish. The guys also discuss the unique charm of the early California-filmed episodes, including the rough-and-tumble stunt work, real driving footage, and the debut of Daisy Duke's updated Road Runner that would become a familiar sight throughout the series. Filled with crooked politics, million-dollar schemes, moonshine mix-ups, and plenty of Hazzard County chaos, "Money to Burn" captures everything that made the first season of The Dukes of Hazzard special. It's an important milestone episode for longtime fans, not only because of Cletus Hogg's debut, but also because it showcases the grounded action, memorable characters, and lighthearted storytelling that helped turn the series into a television classic.

The Kibbe and Friends crew is back with another automotive movie deep dive, this time connecting the dots between American Graffiti, Dazed and Confused, and the entire cruising culture that shaped generations of car people. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie dig into why American Graffiti still works over 50 years later, from the unforgettable cars and soundtrack to the feeling of freedom and youth that George Lucas somehow bottled perfectly on film. Along the way, the guys break down the similarities between John Milner and Wooderson, revisit some of the greatest cruising scenes ever put on screen, and reflect on why movies like these continue to resonate with anyone who grew up around cars, parking lots, drive-ins, and late-night bench racing with friends. There’s also plenty of the usual K&F chaos mixed in with movie trivia, George Lucas facts, Days of Thunder references, and more random automotive pop culture rabbit trails than should probably fit into one episode. If you’ve ever spent a summer night cruising with nowhere to go, this episode is going to feel familiar in all the best ways.

Kibbe & Friends Show #366 revisits a classic Dukes of Hazzard episode the gang originally reviewed nearly 10 years ago — Season 1 Episode 10, “Deputy Dukes!” Before heading back to Hazzard County, the crew catches up on Corndog’s daughter graduating high school, Rob’s busy summer racing schedule with Dallas Kibbe Racing, and a surprising firsthand look at the new electric Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack. Bernie on the Weather debuts a hilarious new WKRP-inspired intro sponsored by Lexani Tires, Lionhart Tires, and Rolling Big Power Tires, while Corndog’s Tech Corner helps troubleshoot Mopar ignition problems on a 1972 Dodge Charger. The guys also cover Hot Wheels collecting crazes, Tesla Cybertruck recalls, the upcoming Rockford Files reboot, and GM’s confusing LS6 revival before diving into “Deputy Dukes.” In this Season 1 favorite, Bo and Luke temporarily become deputies after Rosco gets suspended, only to find themselves trapped inside another one of Boss Hogg’s schemes. The crew breaks down the episode’s early-series charm, classic patrol car action, and the chemistry that helped make the Dukes of Hazzard such an iconic show.
