Subject: Daisy.

There are about 3012 actresses I would've cast as Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazard before Jessica Simpson.

I have nothing against Jessica Simpson. Sure, from some angles she looks like an overly made-up transvestite, she's not very talented, she's stunted and therefore lacking Daisy's most memorable feature (namely the legs), but I'm sure she's a very nice girl.

But she's not Daisy.

This is very reminiscent of Joel Schumacher casting for his Batmans, using personalities (and usually bad ones at that - or at least miscast one) instead of actors.

I'm not really up on the current evening soaps like The O.C. Seventh Heaven, etc., but surely there has to be some leggy actress in one of them who would've been a better choice.

How about Rhona Mitra from Boston Legal? I'm not a huge fan of hers, but she would've been better than Simpson. Or Jessica Biel. Or Cameron Diaz. Well, not the last one.

I realize emulating an original character is impossible and some times it's better to go completely the other way, but on this occasion they haven't even seemed trying.

Tell me, are they actually using Bo and Luke Duke, or the two cousins who stepped in for a season?
