R.I.P. Roscoe
Just saw that James Best passed away. He had a pretty impressive acting/songwriting resume, but will "best" be remembered as the guy who was "gonna git them Duke boys" Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane with his sidekick Flash.

I remember him in a Twilight Zone ep. as a hillbilly who came back from the dead, and of course from Hooper.

RIP James

I did not know the Andy Griffith show guy and sheriff Rosco were the same actor. Jim Lindsey could have been modeled after some of the hillbillys on the "bad" side of my family. He even looks like one of my cousins.

If Goober (Lindsey) could have been modeled after one of your cousins, was Gomer Pyle modeled after you? In the show Gomer and Goober were cousins...

Jim Lindsey was the name of the character that James Best played in Andy Griffith.

George Lindsey was the name of the actor that played the character named Goober.

Probably just a coincidence but you never know.

I still love Dukes even now. I have the theme song in my pumpkin patch playlist.

The OP is about Jim Lindsey, not George. I'm more the Andy Taylor type, calm, cool headed, wise, and kind.

Sing us that Vitajax jingle, or a little bit of Mama Guitar then

I never much cared for the Dukes of Hazzard
