3457	Article	pikachulover	I had some neighbors who would try to prank call me. I remember once they told me they had "Kimberly from the Power Rangers" on the phone. She didn't sound like Kimberly. She sounded like somebody with a cold. Then they said it was just my neighbor's friend who I didn't know named Kimberly who owned cheap inline skates. Which my neighbor just threw in there into the conversation.		Mar 16, 2016
3462	Article	echidna64	Kids today never understand what it feels like to call a girl's home and then have her dad pick up on the other end lol	Old School Phones: Mystery Callers	Mar 17, 2016
3484	Article	Hoju Koolander	@Vaporman87 My wife is totally requesting that I test our PrankDial on her. it sounds so sophisticated. @pikachulover that's pretty hilarious. Celebrity based prank calls are a whole different category. Tricking little kids into thinking their favorite hero is calling could be cruel or cool. @echidna64 Yeah, dating calls on the phone were tricky. If you were trying to avoid someone, there wasn't much you could do to prevent it and if you wanted the call there was little to be done about siblings getting to the phone first and embarrassing you.

3432	Article	massreality	That's some great stuff. I love The Dukes of Hazzard and have visited Cooters in both Nashville and in Gatlinburg. They got a lot of what you talked about on display along with a lot more. Its one of those shows you don't think about when it comes to merchandising, but they made a ton of stuff for it!

3433	Article	Vaporman87	I think the sheer amount of General Lee merchandise that was produced over the years definitely helps you get a better perspective on the marketing behemoth that was the Dukes. The show was huge. I wonder if any of the stars got a cut of the profits from the sale of all that licensed stuff?	Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise	Mar 11, 2016
3434	Article	mickyarber	I think part of the contract dispute when Bo and Luke left the show was partly due to their cut of merchandising. I think they're new contracts stipulated they got an increase in their cut.	Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise	Mar 11, 2016
3444	Article	Hoju Koolander	I was so glad to see the Etch-A-Sketch scenes make an appearance. Aside the General Lee Hot Wheels car, that was my sole piece of merchandise and I loved it.	Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise	Mar 14, 2016
3446	Article	mickyarber	@hoju....I had several different sets of screens for the etch a sketch. Not just Dukes. Those things really ramped up the fun of etch a sketch.	Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise	Mar 15, 2016
3448	Article	OldSchool80s	I had those wrist racers (among many other things)! I loved The Dukes of Hazzard. I had no idea what the confederate flag stood for or any of that and the show really had absolutely nothing to do with that. I had the pleasure of an interview with the show's creator, Gy Waldron, a couple years back.	Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise	Mar 15, 2016
3450	Article	Vaporman87	You said it OldSchool. The show never represented any negative views toward anyone. That's why I think it was absurd to be yanking it off of television when people were up in arms over the Confederate Flag. People need to get over themselves.
