“All units! I’m in hot pursuit of the Duke boys!” This Monday, James Best of the Dukes of Hazzard died, joining Denver Pyle who played Uncle Jesse.. Best was known for playing the role of Sheriff Roscoe on the Dukes of Hazzard, always chasing after the boys. Sheriff Roscoe was an animated character who was slow, but Best was able to give his character a “childlike enthusiasm.” Sheriff Roscoe and the Dukes were always chasing each other in car pursuits, which tended to end with Sheriff Roscoe crashing. Best was born Jewel Guy in 1926 in Powderly, Kentucky where he was orphaned and adopted by Armen and Essa Best who renamed him James Best and raised him in Indiana. Before becoming an actor, best was in the Army during World War II. Best played in many hit TV shows in the 1950s and 1960s such as Bonanza and Gunsmoke. However, his best known role is still Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane on the Dukes of Hazzard.

          

I chose this article because I grew up watching old TV shows like Bonanza and Leave It to Beaver and more. But I remember watching and enjoying the Dukes of Hazzard the most. I would not go as far as to say that I liked the movie remake, but I still enjoy the plot of the show. I do remember Sheriff Roscoe and Deputy Enos, who always misfired his gun, and the trouble they got into while chasing the Dukes. I’ll never forget the show and still enjoy episodes today.
