Wow. You guys are awesome. I feel like a chooch. I made a post 5 years ago and y’all responded and I ghosted you. So, my wife planned a surprise trip to Covington, GA with the fam. Got To visit the jump sites from the first 5 episodes, meet some other cool Dukes fans AND John Schneider happened to be in town after a convention in Atlanta. Talk about an amazing day! Then, hit Cooters Garage in Pigeon Forge, TN a couple days later. Anyway, I’m totally geeking out on all things Dukes again and looking forward to checking out the forums here! I still love your artwork recreations, Hoss!

I've just spent the evening at a bar (very unusual for me) listening to a couple of local guys playing live music on acoustic guitars. It was a good mix of traditional Irish songs and old favorites. What surprised me was the number of Americans at the bar. The first people I spoke to were from just across the Indiana border from Chicago, but there were three groups from California (Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles), one from Seattle and another from Florida. I know where I live is a popular tourist destination, but I rarely get to speak to the visitors.

They're currently running the 2024 Camaro body and probably will next season as well.

I saw the phrase "Tír na nÓg" (it means "Land of Youth") painted on several buildings, and the bar was advertising "Ceol Anocht" ("Music Tonight"), but I don't think it was the Celtic Women. It was probably traditional Irish music, but we had food waiting at the house, so we didn't stay to find out. Just to keep you happy, Roger:

I was just watching a season 3 episode of The Fall Guy called 'Pirates of Nashville'. The main storyline was about bootlegged Country records, so Colt and gang had to fly to Nashville and visit The Grand Ole Opry. The first singer they met was Dottie West - one of Boss' Celebrity Speed Trap victims. A couple of others like Mickey Gilley were mentioned, but not seen. Then Charlie Daniels and his band showed up to perform 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'. The episode also featured Miriam Byrd-Nethery who appeared in two episodes of Dukes. The episode finished with Colt losing a bet and having to sing the show's theme song which was portrayed as having been written by Howie. I'm no expert on Tennessee geography, but the street signs in the urban car chase looked suspiciously like the ones in LA, and the out-of-town chase went down roads lined with white fencing that were very like the ones often seen in Dukes (e.g. W Potrero Road in Westlake Village).

Went to the local GM plant's car show today. Over 300 cars, possibly 400 showed up. One that stuck out for me was a restored Hudson pickup truck. Never seen one before. Since it was invitation only it was pretty much hot rods and muscle cars. They might go back to open registration again next year. Few years ago they had some trouble with a few people and police showed up so that's when they made it invitation only, you have to work there or worked there or know someone that works there that will write you in.

Well, my Dr's appointment went well and now I can eat cream of wheat and drink clear OR colored stuff now, like tea etc....until this time next week / my next appt.). He was impressed by your car dealer's recovery!

I assume they're talking about 'Redneck Boy in the Promised Land: The Confessions of "Crazy Cooter"'. It came out in 2008.

I'm guessing Sonny Shroyer is a lot like Enos....only much smarter. (Of course Enos was pretty smart when he a cop in Los Angeles.) But I'm sure Sonny is a true Southern gentleman.

EXCELLENT!! Irish women are the best!! * Well hopefully I'll be back home at this time tomorrow, if the doctor decides to let me go. If not.....it will be sometime Wednesday! .....hopefully! So if you don't see me on here for a while you'll know where I'm at! Healing up/sleeping it off/drugged up etc.!

Many Happy Returns to Don, also known as Sheriff Little! He and Ben/Cooter share the same birthday.

I just thought of something last week.....ever notice the theme song? Do you ever start the DVD and then go do something while it's playing ( I take my medicine before bed) and I NEVER get tired of hearing it, even when it plays over and over. It's like the episodes themselves.....there's no point of exhaustion! You can listen and watch over and over and over! What other show, band, etc. can you name like that???!!!

OK.. .THE last 2 beers ( and I'm on the 2nd one) and then I'll spend the weekend getting ready ( surgery Tues. morning) . They gave me a special soap I have to use 3 days/times before surgery......special Moonshine soap?????

Skipper, Your Aunt Carol's sister Millie is in my prayers.

It's past midnight at my house right now and since Enos lives in the same time zone in Valdosta Georgia that means he is officially 90. Happy birthday buddy. You are a true Southern gentleman and were a natural to play Enos Strate. This is cool.....our puppy Lulu turns one year old today. When we got her at the beginning of the year I was thrilled to learn she shared a birthday with Sonny Shroyer!

I'm glad to hear you are following Doc Appleby's orders. Keep us posted.

well, cousins, right now I'm watching you know what and having a few AB's. I just watched Bad Day In Hazzard and I'm about to watch Miss Tri-Counties! I hope every one is doing well! 9/2 is coming fast and I'm counting down! Doctor gave me specific instructions, no beer or cold drinks 3 days before surgery! So Friday ( DOHD) is my last party day until after surgery and probably until somewhere around November!

They don't even use the same car throughout 'Twin Trouble' - at least two different cars are used if you compare the front corner lights. It's probably safe to say that the car that was rolled wasn't used again. I think all of the cars in question are 1967 Chevy 4-door sedans. I'm surprised that you didn't spot another blue 1967 Chevy 4-door sedan being driven by Mary Lou Tompkins in 'A Baby for the Dukes' earlier in season 6. That one survived, so it could've been used in later episodes. They were most likely Impalas, but some could've been Bel Airs and Biscaynes. A couple appear to have the Sport Sedan body. Like with your previous questions about cars being the same across episodes, I think all we can say is they were similar. If they didn't get wrecked, they may have been reused.

SONNY SHROYER will turn 90 on thursday

After Boss' brakes go out, Vance apparently stops his car by simply pressing the clutch. Vance previous told Boss "...what you gotta do is try to slowly downshift into first gear. And then let the gears slow you down.". All we see is him depressing the clutch but never raising it again as you would to shift gears with a stick transmission. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 1970 Cadillac DeVille only came with an automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have a clutch pedal anyway.

Every time I rematch Dukes (for the thousandth time) I notice new things I’ve never noticed before like in Ding Dong the Boss is Dead, Boss’s Cadillac is at Cooters with the note on it. When the scaffolding almost falls on him you can see the Cadillac in front of the steps. Then when Boss goes to get in his car he walks over to Cooters and gets the car and reads the note. I’m sure someone else has noticed this but I like noticing new things when you aren’t focusing on it you don’t really notice.

Here are some drawings I did of the General Lee

I only watched the scene around the impound yard, but most of those stores are on French Street. You can see towards Boss' bank when the boys escape jail, but the bank is blocked by a truck. You can also see a redressed Rhuebottoms and paint store in the background when Sheriff Little crashes through the fence. The building with the fence is redressed as different businesses in several episodes.

Hmmm.....I don't know if I should make it a Buttermilk with a Moonshine chaser or Moonshine with a butter milk chaser!

You got my vote Hobie. As long as your first act as Commissioner is to make buttermilk the official drink of our county.

My wife had cataract surgery today and I joined a fantasy football league....just another day in the life of a retired couple.

unless of course you're talking about me running for the next Country Commissioner! Just remember.....I'm right and everybody else is wrong! THAT'S scripture'!!! Look it up! II Opinions 5:45!

Shhhhhh!

It seems that just about every female on the show was PRETTY!

Let me know what you think after you read it!

Happy Birthday Ben! (I may be crazy but I ain’t dumb) - Cooter Davenport

Custard I had apple pie and custard this afternoon.

ALL night pizza parlor on frontage road

Boss, thanks.

Happy Birthday Sonny!! We all love Enos. It’s hard to believe Sorrell was only 5yrs older than Sonny always seemed like Boss was old enough to be Enos’s dad.

Season 4 Trouble at Cooter's. Bo:"You know, I just can't figure out how Rosco knew where we were all those times. First at Stone Canyon, then at Cooter's Garage." Luke:"Unless somebody told him." Bo:"Besides Cooter, nobody knew about it." Luke:"Except Bonnie." Bo:"Yeah, but come on, why would Bonnie wanna-?" Luke:"It doesn't matter why! What we gotta do, is get back to Cooter's, an' get that float valve put in this car so it runs right! Bo:"Shoot! We sent Cooter out to Stone Canyon to meet us with that float valve." Luke:"Shoot, that's the easy part. All we do is raise him on the CB an' cut him off. Hey Crazy C, this here's the Lost Sheep. You out there?"

Meadowmufn... I drew it lots of times both with and without the crossed flags behind the back windshield. I do it as a 3D image. I start out with the rectangle of the flag on the roof, and then I fill in the rest of the car. In my drawings, the front, back, both doors, the roof, everything is visible the whole complete car.

Hey everyone. Big surprise coming soon! 😀

Yep.... happens to me all the time. I'm not sure if they give me space because they think I'm unstable and dangerous because I'm drinking buttermilk or because it smells so bad. Either way it's nice to have those big intimidating bikers give me space.

Drink Buttermilken...it'll make you feel young again!

I found one in Season 4 Diamonds in the Rough. It's when they're in the General Lee and Cletus comes out of the speed trap chasing them after his speed limit sign changed numbers when he pressed the button on the electronic gizmo. Bo:"Oh great. Cletus. Where the heck did he come from?" Luke:"You got me. It don't hardly matter though. We can't let him catch us with these diamonds." After Luke finishes talking, just before he turns around to look at Cletus's car, he appears to be looking in a mirror first. The General Lee doesn't have a passenger side door mirror. So what's he looking at? 😂

Good spot Hoss!

I like his politics but also like Meadowmufn's rules to not talk about politics.

Saw Big Ed on TV today. But he wasn't in uniform and he wasn't Big Ed. It was on A-Team, the episode The Bend in the River.

That is great Meadowmuffin! Thank you for sharing that!

Happy birthday Hughie Hogg! (Jeff Altman...August 13)

That HAS to be where they got Hughie and Dewey's names!

When I had first heard of Dewey....many years ago, I already knew his cousin, ( Brother?) Hughie, I wondered if there was a Louie, that we'd hear from later if the show had survived longer? Remember Donald Duck's 3 nephews?

I know that this is a very old thread, but it seemed silly to start a new one. I was watching the 1965 movie "The Loved One" earlier, and spotted a familiar face playing the lead. Here's Robert Morse, aka. Dewey Hogg, as Dennis Barlow. The movie's a rather strange yet enjoyable satire on the funeral business in Los Angeles. It dates from two years before "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", the Robert Morse movie which had its title parodied in his Dukes episode, "How to Succeed in Hazzard". In "The Loved One", Robert pulls off a quite convincing English accent throughout, although a brief attempt at what I took to be Scots isn't as good. There's quite a list of well-known co-stars, including Rod Steiger, Milton Berle, James Coburn, Sir John Gielgud, Roddy McDowall and a cameo for Liberace as a casket salesman. Additionally, Lionel "When they met...it was moider" Stander plays a newspaper staff writer masquerading as an advice guru, and Paul Williams (Little Enos in SATB) gets his first acting role as a boy genius rocket maker, despite being in his mid-20s at the time.

Happy late Birthday Sheriff Little! ( Mine was on the 31st, so me and you and Cooter are right in there together!)
