Recap / The Dukes Of Hazzard S 5 E 4 Coy Meets Girl

Go To

Tropes present in this episode:

  • Dawson Casting: It's implied that Bobby Lee is 16; Michele Greene – who played the orphan whose tomboyish clothes hides an awesomely beautiful teen-aged girl – was 20 when she filmed this episode in 1982.
  • Heartwarming Orphan: In more ways than one with Bobby Lee. Incidentally, orphans (particularly, those fitting the trope) and children whose father had died would become somewhat of a semi-regular plot device during the final three years, with the Duke family interacting with the affected children and trying to make a positive difference in their lives.
  • Quicksand Sucks: Bobby Lee absent-mindedly falls into a patch of quicksand – there's quicksand in Georgia(?) – and Coy just happens to be in the area to rescue her.
  • Shout-Out: To The Wizard of Oz, with Waylon's remark about Bobby Lee "returning to Oz" someday.
  • Tomboy: Bobby Lee Jordan, to the nth degree – at least early in the episode. Also:
