"Cooter" sounds off

In a post I did a short while back I talked about some movies I had seen, and ones I want to see. I talked about how the "dukes" movie might be pushing it and I was unsure if I really wanted to see it. Well, I think I made up my mind today, Ben Jones (a.k.a. Cooter from the original series) spoke out against the movie. Here is a little bit of what he had to say:

Ben Jones, a former Georgia congressman who played the wisecracking mechanic on the popular series from 1979-85, said profanity and sexual content in the film make a mockery of the family friendly show. "Basically, they trashed our show," said Jones, who now lives in the mountains of Washington, Va. "It's one thing to do whatever movie they want to do, but to take a classic family show and do that is like taking "I Love Lucy" and making her a crackhead or something."
