Is Cletus Opie’S Dad? A Look At The Simpsons’ Family Tree

It’s a common misconception that Cletus is Opie’s dad on *The Dukes of Hazzard*. Opie is the son of Boss Hogg, the corrupt county commissioner, and Ellie, Boss Hogg’s wife.

Cletus was a recurring character on the show, known for his oddball antics and often working alongside Boss Hogg in various schemes. He was portrayed as a simple and somewhat gullible man, often falling for Boss Hogg’s tricks.

Opie and Cletus were friends, and Cletus often helped Boss Hogg in his efforts to outsmart the Dukes. Opie was a loyal but sometimes clumsy deputy who often found himself caught in the middle of Boss Hogg’s schemes. The two characters, despite being on opposite sides of the law, were often portrayed as having a friendly relationship, even though Cletus never had any paternal connection to Opie.
