Corrected the spelling of Rosco's name. The reason for using Northern Mexican accents is far from obvious if you're not familiar with Mexican culture. And it's probably too strong a statement to say that the show glorified the Confederacy; I think "nostalgia" is a better word (but I may be wrong on this, so I won't mind if it's changed back).

* WhatAnIdiot:
** Several of the show's most memorable (if not critically acclaimed) episodes play upon the premise of Boss and Rosco being so naive and stupid -- Sorrell Booke and James Best convincingly portrayed their respective characters as gullible individuals with the mentality of 10- and 7-year-old boys -- that dangerous criminals are able to easily able to get them to help accomplish their goals. Perhaps the best example of this is "When You Wish Upon a Hogg," where Boss' corrupt nephew, Hughie, uses his insight into his uncle and right-hand stooge to convince them that an old, antique oil lamp contains a genie that can help them get rich and put the Duke boys in prison forever. When Trixie (Hughie's beautiful girlfriend) plays her part perfectly, Boss and Rosco -- both adults who, even with their mentality should know that the "genie in a lamp" idea is just fiction -- take the bait. Bo and Luke, naturally, know that the "genie in a lamp" scheme is fraudulent but Boss and Rosco refuse to listen to reason.
** "New Deputy in Town", from Season 4. In a case that also fits BadCopIncompetentCop, Rosco -- told that a federal inmate in custody on bank robbery and murder charges will be staying overnight at the Hazzard County Jail -- fails to follow up on an FBI advisory that also alerts about his partner in crime: a shapely young woman named Linda Mae Barnes, also wanted for bank robbery and murder. Not long thereafter, after Rosco again bungles an arrest of the Duke boys, Barnes shows up, impersonating a state trooper and easily arrests Bo and Luke. Boss is so impressed (and turned on by Linda) that he hires her on the spot, also acting like an idiot and failing to conduct a background check.
** Enos falls prey to the WhatAnIdiot trap -- along with the others, who are far more intelligent than Boss or Rosco -- in "Too Many Roscos", when they fail to notice obvious clues about a criminal posing as Rosco, due to his exact resemblance. The phony had bungled simple facts about Bo and Luke, two men he had known since they were young boys, but yet recalled in exact detail facts about an expected armored car delivery at Hazzard Bank. Nothing arouses their suspicion, as everyone chalks it up to "amnesia" the real Rosco had suffered in yet another accident.
