I'm melting! Woe.

I watched a couple of episodes of Robin Hood last night and had a breakthrough with this show while watching Robin & Co and the Sheriff call a temporary truce to take care of the fake FBI agents dancers.

Wait for it...

Robin Hood is Medieval Dukes of Hazzard! IT IS.

All it's missing is the freeze-frame cutaway of the Merry Men trying to jump a wagon over a pond with a Waylon Jennings voice over of "Them boys are trapped like foxes in a hen house with a sack fulla eggs. Sure hope them English Pond Gators ain't hungry."

Dukes. Of. Hazzard.

(And I'm kind of addicted to it. Feel free to mock me.)

Bwah! Okay, that right there might be enough to get me to watch it.

Totally Duke of Hazzard. The Sheriff is a less-stupid Boss Hogg and the Merry Men form this sort of Bo-and-Luke blob. Little John might be Uncle Jesse. And Guy and Marian are Pride & Prejudice refugees who accidentally wandered into it all.

Sounds cracktastic. Okay, I'm going to have to start watching this. LOL

It's VERY cracktastic. Very. :D Not quite the full-on camp of Xena, but it gets going in that direction.

*dying laughing over here* OK, what you don't know is that back in the day, I was a major Dukes of Hazzard fan. Loved Bo & Luke and had major crushes on them. Of course, I was like 10 at the time, so don't hate me. I recently tried to watch reruns, and couldn't. It was too awful. Another childhood memory tarnished.

And Guy and Marian are Pride & Prejudice refugees who accidentally wandered into it all.

*snort* Especially Guy, right? Hee.

Oh, I loved Dukes of Hazzard too. :D But I think I really couldn't watch nowadays. Yikes.

*Mocks!* =P

Nah, I liked Robin Hood, myself. The trick is just not to take it too seriously. ^_^

You are so, so right. :D

Do you remember when you first started watching it and was all: "BuWHAT?" And I was all: "BUT. KIND OF ADDICTING." Yeah.

*runs off to write you fic*

*mocks!*

*then remembers that she watches the show too*

*stares at Guy*

How did this addiction happen? Hooooow??

*points to icon*

I mostly blame him. And the crack-tasticness of the show. I do enjoy enjoying a show where I hate the title character. That's new for me. Honest.

Okay, I had sort of glossed over it before, but now I *really* want to see it. *g*

Mwah! I know - when my flist was going on about it, I pretty well ignored. This show really wasn't what I was expecting at all. :D

[identity profile] kammgirl.livejournal.com 2007-09-02 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Bwah. I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard. I loved Enice (sp?) and Daisy. Then he left to do his own short lived show and I was sad. Damn I can trace shippiness to my childhood.

Robin Hood is addicting. Sometimes you just need a cheesy show where the good guys win.

There was a spinoff? Wow, I totally don't remember that. :D

And I keep wanting the bad guy to win on the cheesy show, but it never happens. Maybe I just like being frustrated. :D

I would mock, but I'm still suffering from the shock of you posting about a tv show that's NOT DW.

*faints*

I would mock you but that would be mocking myself since I also watch the show. It is just a tad bit addicting... I mean I found myself watching it again when BBC America started to repeat the season.

In my DEFENSE, there really wasn't anything else to watch and it served as more of a background noise function. :)

I can't even claim background noise - I Netflixed the sucker. :D
