When I first met Rick, it was in the 90's, so the WWW was in its infancy. When I told him about HazzardNet's predecessor (the Hazzard County Sheriff's Department on Prodigy), he was excited there was a community of fans online still discussing and enjoying the show. He told me he'd be right back and when he returned, he handed me an enormous folder of 8x10s, several of them signed. That was very generous of him. I still have them packed away from the move, but when I find them (someday), I will scan them in and put them on the site. When I mentioned where I worked at the time, we had a connection there and he told me some amazing stories. We just had an awesome conversation. He was very personable and gracious. At the Dukesfest in '01, I got to do an impromptu square dance with him and Jimmie. Good times. I would've liked to have gotten to know him better, but my health and work situations over the years didn't permit me to get to events as much as I'd have liked.

I forgot to mention 'On the Rocks'. Rick played one of the inmates in this prison-set sitcom in the mid-70s. It was based on the British sitcom 'Porridge', which coincidentally I'm watching right now. I've only ever seen a couple of clips of 'On the Rocks' - maybe it'll make it online one day. Here's the intro:

I can’t believe it in a sense, but there it is. Rick Hurst has crossed the creek on that rainbow bridge, now not only reunited with his kinfolk, but also a lot of the Dukes family who’ve gone on before him. I’m saddened I never got to meet him, I think it would have been fun to know him. God bless y’all. Tom Duke

Welcome to HNet, joshkeith. The ages of the characters are never revealed (except for Abraham Lincoln Hogg by his driver's licence, and therefore his twin brother, Boss), but the subject has been discussed a few times before. Here are three threads to get you started: Ages of dukes I have a question??? What were the real ages of cast? Anyone know? Aside from the flashback episodes ('Go West, Young Dukes' and 'Happy Birthday, General Lee'), and the shown-out-of-order season 2 episodes, I think Dukes ran chronologically, although not many storylines crossed episodes or seasons. An example of this is T.C. Rogers becoming Supervisory Administrator of Hazzard County in 'People's Choice' (S2E11), but then she was never mentioned again. Of course, the 2005/2007 movies completely ignored the canon of the TV series, but that's another story!

What are your favorite Dukes of Hazzard collectibles/memorabilia? Do you have a plethora of General Lees? Are autographed photos among your prized possessions? We want to see what Dukes of Hazzard treasures you've collected over the years.

Hello, late reply and actually my first reply. I’m relatively new to this site but I’ve been a Dukes Fan for as long as I can remember! I am from Eastern Ontario, doesn’t look like there are many of us around here. I just made my first Trip in April to Cooters in Luray, Virginia. Sadly I haven’t meet any of the Cast Members the timing just didn’t work out, but I did get a hat signed by Ben Jones!

This is a bit of a sensitive subject to me since my collection of stuff was sold at a low point in my life in 1989 when I was struggling emotionally and financially from a divorce. Of course I have bought things since then but lost my motivation to replace it all. I'll sit this one out. Don't let me spoil the fun though.

+1 !! They never age or even grow old! Times never change in Hazzard! ( driving crazy, 8 track tapes, slower, simpler, etc.)

I have to disagree because the idea of any of the characters dying is something I don't even like to think about. That is why I didn't like the reunion shows. To me, Hazzard County is real and it hasn't changed since the early 80s.

Here are some drawings I did of the General Lee

It's kind of like a slang? I don't know how to explain it but the way I understand is that its just an exaggerated version

I dont remember exactly but the Generals 8th birthday seems correct.

It was the third race in the F1 triple-header today with the Spanish Grand Prix. The McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris locked out the front row of the grid ahead of Max Verstappen, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. Lance Stroll apparently had a pain in his wrist related to a cycling accident a couple of years ago, although there were also reports of him losing his temper in the pits after qualifying. Either way, he didn't start the race, so there were only 19 cars on grid (I'm not sure why his Aston Martin team couldn't use a reserve driver). Oscar had a good getaway at the start, but Max managed to jump Lando. Lewis also passed George. Lando got back ahead of Max on lap 13. The Barcelona circuit is known for tire wear, and Red Bull put Max on a 3-stop strategy when most teams were planning on a 2-stop. Max was looking certain for third place until Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes engine gave out with just over 10 laps to go bringing out the safety car. All of the front runners went to the pits to change tires, but Max only had a set of the slower hard tires available. At the restart, Max's car nearly went sideways, allowing Charles Leclerc to pass. Max then went off-track as George tried to pass, but came out ahead. His team told Max to give the place back to George. Max wasn't happy about the instruction and appeared to deliberately hit George when it looked like he was letting him through. That earned Max a 10-second penalty and three points on his licence (he's now only one point away from a one race ban!). At the end, it was McLaren first and second with Oscar ahead of Lando. Charles got his second podium in a row with George in fourth. Nico Hulkenberg in his Kick Sauber surprised a lot of people by passing Lewis near the end to finish fifth. Max actually crossed the line in fifth, but his penalty pushed him back to 10th. In ninth, former World Champion Fernando Alonso was cheered by his home crowd as he scored his first points of the season. You can see the highlights here. Oscar is now 10 points ahead of Lando in the drivers' championship. In the constructors championship, McLaren have over double the points of their nearest rivals, Ferrari, who in-turn moved ahead of Mercedes today. It's two weeks until the next race in Canada.

it seems to me Garrett and Hobie are neck and neck, barreling toward the finish down the straightaway.....but wait.........!! ................

In the Austrian Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz Jnr's Williams broke down on the grid, so only 19 cars started the race. Oscar Piastri started third, but got ahead of Charles Leclerc at the first bend and spent most of the first stint right on Lando Norris' rear wing and even briefly overtook once. Canadian Grand Prix winner George Russell got past Lewis Hamilton at the start, but Hamilton retook the place be the end of the first lap. Max Verstappen was hit by Kimi Antonelli on the first lap, ending both of their races. Max's team mate, Yuki Tsunoda got a 10-second penalty later in the race for causing a collision and was the last car running at the end, so no points for Red Bull at their home track, the Red Bull Ring. It was also a bad day for Williams as their other car driven by Alex Albon had to retire from a top 10 position after 17 laps. The pit stops gave Lando a bit of breathing space at the front, but there were some good battles behind. After the second pit stops, Oscar was catching Lando, but Lando managed to hang on to the lead through the back markers and took the win for a McLaren 1-2. Oscar's lead in the drivers' championship is now down to 15 points. Ferrari finished third and fourth, and overtook Mercedes in the constructors' championship. Liam Lawson scored his best F1 finish in sixth. Liam had a bad start to the season at Red Bull and got demoted to their junior team RB (Racing Bulls). He now has two more points than Yuki Tsunoda who replaced him! Gabriel Bortoleto also had a great result scoring his first F1 points in eighth in his Sauber. You can see the race highlights here. Next week it's the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. It's the only race of the year that gets shown live here on free-to-air TV, but the weather will determine if I stay in to watch it live.

I'm going to take the lead. I know of a nice shortcut(oh crap is this CB radio on, Rosco you dumb bell)...I mean I had a good breakfast of raw liver and onions and I'm ready to go.

I’m watching Season 1’s “Money To Burn”, which first introduced Cletus Hogg, in memory of Rick Hurst. As Enos/Sonny said…”RIP, buddy roe!” Rick Hurst: 1946-2025.

This is a 5-year-old video from Ed Bolian's VINwiki YouTube channel. He posts a lot of videos and I don't have time to watch many of them, but I enjoy the ones I do get time to see. This week, the VINwiki channel also posted the latest series of Car Trek. For those of you who haven't seen the previous editions, Car Trek features YouTubers Ed Bolian (VINwiki), Tyler Hoover (Hoovies Garage) and Freddy Hernandez (Tavarish) doing car challenges similar to those seen on Top Gear. To save having to go through MSN, here's the General Lee video:

The one where Luke grabs a newspaper from a vendor and tells Bo to pay the man, and then he asks how come I've got all the answers and Bo's got all the questions and then Bo tells him " You're older than me". Hey there Josh Keith, it's good to see you!

I've recently been painting a lot of things and been really crafty instead of drawing and I was wondering if any of you guys would wanna see my stuff? I know that I probably could just post it and be done, but I have this habit of asking first, here's a post I made on twt to kinda show what I do

Dang it's so hot roads are popping https://www.facebook.com/ABCNews/videos/2079222079268402/ Wonder if the city or county will pay for any damages to the Corolla? Maybe they will repaint it orange and add some numbers to the doors

I'm glad I'm not out of reactions because that last post was funny....and delusional. Dream on young man.

THATS SO STUPPIIIDDDD WHATTT hold on lemme see if twt will let me download it

Dream on! They don't call my machine the Moonshine MAULER for nothing!! Cooter just finished tuning it up and Daisy just gave me a good luck kiss ( and a dirty look! LOL! ) Everybody knows I'm going to beat every little red buggy on the track! Just to celebrate I'm about to indulge in a few adult beverages now!

I'm out of reactions but Friday sounds like as good of day as any for me to win.

Is that a full-size replica of Cooter's garage, Emily?

Welcome to the HazzardNet Webb. We're happy to have you and hope to hear more from you. Was the hat you got from Cooter all greasy? He's the best mechanic in the county but not the cleanest guy around. And we wouldn't have it any other way.

There are more of us fans, than you think! Not just us good ol' Southern boys/girls either! We got lots of Yankees and people from other countries in here too! The Dukes bring us all together! It's great to have you! We hope you'll make yourself at home, feel the Southern hospitality and stay a while!

I hope Emma had a great birthday yesterday. If she got a kiss from Jesse I'm sure she did. We love you Emma. Even though you do make us take a number if nobody else is in the post office.

OK guys....Cooter's under the hood....tweaking a few things.....!! In a minute I'll be back on the track....I've only had 2....or.....3? .....hard to say.....but I'm feelin' no pain and I'm lookin' for " TROUBLE ON THE TRACK!!" I'm in my Nagasaki Maserati ( my 2006 Toyota Corolla).....DON'T LAUGH!!! it can go 0-60 in 2.3........minutes! I think it's a little faster than my Japanese Mercedes........my 2008 Nissan Sentra! ( The newest car I've ever owned!)

I'll write my F1 race report later when I have more time, but I just wanted to post a quick congratulations to ex-F1 driver Robert Kubica. He had what Rosco would call "a horrendous crash" at the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix (see video below), and nearly died when a barrier penetrated the cabin of his rally car in 2011. Yesterday, he won the Le Mans 24 Hours in a privately entered Ferrari 499P alongside co-drivers Yifei Ye and Phil Hanson. They were just over 14 seconds ahead of the second placed Porsche.

Scary (I'm a toddler room teacher. . .HA)

Anyone know any songs referencing the Dukes of Hazzard, here are a few "I Lived It" by Blake Shelton: "Them ol' Duke boys, their flattenin' the hills" "Thats Country Bro" by Toby Keith: "Bo and Luke and Daisy Duke" "Boys With Nothin'" by Larry Fleet: "We were wilder than the Dukes of Hazzard" "Redneck in the White House" by Buddy Brown: "Dukes of Hazzard back on TV"

I think I just got good and covering up my lapses. It's definitely not the first.

I think my brain skipped that because I came to the thread that day to mention the Katy Perry song, and saw that you'd already named that in the same post. At least I gave you credit for the original mention.

Dierks Bentley - "What Was I Thinkin'". We ran outside, hood slidin' like Bo Duke What was I thinkin'? Roger previously mentioned it in another thread back in 2009.

If I can get you any DOH stuff or do/say ANYTHING for you Cousin, NEVER hesitate to pm me!!

Smurfs (my daughter and I loved watching them)

It's a paradox. All the goodness that is Hazzard County and The Dukes Of Hazzard will always be around.

Right now I'm having a small DOHD on the night before Friday....Dukes Of Hazzard Day ( DOHD), because I'm going to be VERY busy tomorrow TCB!! I still plan, however, to celebrate later on tomorrow night. Right now, I'm watching S. 2 EP. 10. Granny Annie....... I'm also enjoying a few AB! * * ( Adult Beverages)

Number 34 in Atlanta., Them good ole boys are bad, In the drivers seat. Are really good, I also like Roy, and his version of Good Ol' Boys. Tom Wopat also has good songs I dont know as much of them though, Up on Cripple Creek, and Too Many Honky Tonks are my favorites. Probably never would have heard their music if they werent the Duke boys, but If i did still find them I would still listen to their songs. I think there pretty good.

What worked for me is that when I started drawing cars is that I started tracing images of cars. Then when I got more used to the shape of cars I would only trace some lines, and then fill in the rest. Until I got more of a feel for drawing cars independently. So I would say that the best advice I have is just to start at a level that you can work at, and work yourself up from there.

I have a special fuel the Professor made for me.

same here....just the opposite....lol

It's the Canadian Grand Prix later today. So far, McLaren haven't dominated like they have at recent races, but Oscar Piastri is continuing to look faster than Lando Norris. Several drivers failed to make corners in qualifying and a couple of penalties were given out for impeding other drivers. Alex Albon had a weird equipment failure in the first qualifying session when the engine cover of his Williams blew off. The subsequent red flag allowed him to replace it in the pits, and he made the top 10. It should be a close race today as there are five different teams in the top six (Mercedes were the only team to get both cars in the top six). Here are the starting top 10: 1. George Russell Mercedes 2. Max Verstappen Red Bull 3. Oscar Piastri McLaren 4. Kimi Antonelli Mercedes 5. Lewis Hamilton Ferrari 6. Fernando Alonso Aston Martin 7. Lando Norris McLaren 8. Charles Leclerc Ferrari 9. Alexander Albon Williams 10. Franco Colapinto Alpine You can watch the qualifying highlights here. The race is on at 2pm (ET), so should be more accessible to US viewers. Will the "Wall of Champions" claim any victims this year?

Other than the full DVD collection (7 seasons, TV movies, cartoons and 2005/07 movies) I mainly just have six 1:18 diecast models. I've never been an autograph collector. I used to have one of the early PC games, but I'm not sure if it's still around. At my parental home there should also be two or three Ertl cases for the small diecast cars. I don't think we had such a wide range of collectibles available over in the UK.

OK folks.... I'm watching The Renegades and the Brahmas ( Go Renegades!) and I'm enjoying fulfilling my reputation for communing with the spirits! ( I'm finishing off a 15pk. of Milwaukee's Best Ice! What are you guys doing?

The veteran Jesse found for the graveyard in 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt' was from the First Construction BATTALION.
