Coy
and Vance: Duke of Hazzard
When you hear the term Coy and
Vance, people are talking about producers shoehorning in characters
to replace popular main characters.
From
IMDB,
((During the 1981-82 season, John
Schneider and Tom
Wopat demanded
pay raises, claiming that they earned and were owed a lot of
royalties from the show's extensive line of merchandise. They ended
up walking out, and the producers replaced the characters of Bo with
Coy and and Luke with Vance for the 1982-83 season,
))
Coy
and Vance were so bland and boring that everyone stopped watching the
show. I am sure Schneider and Wopat were laughing when that season
went on. I remember getting very upset with the change in cast.
Catherine
Bach
wanted
to leave too, but the show would have been canceled.
The
show explained that Bo and Luke left Hazzard to become racers. Wait,
aren't they on parole?
After
the rating fell, the producers brought back Luke and Bo. And, Coy
and Vance were completely forgotten.
I
just love how Coy and Vance were promptly written out of the show
will little or no transition.
