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!

Bewitched, Lost In Space,

there was never INCLEMENT weather in hazzard

Let me know what you think after you read it!

Happy 74th Birthday to the great Luke Duke! If you get a chance go meet Tom, he is such a great guy. Yee Haa!

The theme song went to NUMBER 1 in 1980

The first time you ever saw the Season 6 episode Brotherly Love, did you expect Luke's brother Jud Kane to be a fake with a hidden menacing agenda like the English cousin Gaylord Duke in the Season 2 episode Duke of Duke was?

ALL night pizza parlor on frontage road

Boss, thanks.

Happy late birthday wish Sonny! AND Happy Birthday Lulu Shroyer!! * * Get it.....????

There's been a death in my family. Aunt Carol's sister Millie. They just talked last Saturday and she looked pretty good, now she's gone. Millie's son found her dead today. 😢

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.

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.

You could Google it to get more info.

Was watching Dukescam Scam yesterday and noticed this. You can see the end of the set and looks to be a lamp in the corner. Not sure if this has been mentioned before

My hometown is a lot like Hazzard to me, it’s very cozy and close knit, kind of everyone knows everyone sort of vibe. We have a lot of community events, Canada Day, Labour Day (with a parade that runs through the Main Street) and to top off the Hazzard connection, we actually have our very own Boars Nest! The owner is actually referred to as “Boss Hogg” by a lot of people round here too.

Yes....but does she know about you and Emmer??

Looks like we missed a Hobie birthday. Belated happy BD you old Ridge Runner!

Big Ed Little shares a birthday with Crazy Cooter!

DuckTales is also being revamped here in the Netherlands, but as a magazine, I got the first edition for free with my Donald Duck Magazine subscription. It's kind of strange since we already have DD Magazine itself, which is basically the same but with the whole cast of people living in Duckburg (It's called Duckstad in the Netherlands) and surrounding areas. Both don't seem to exists in the USA.

There was an old cartoon called Duck Tales when my daughter was growing up and now they're remaking it so I get to watch it with my grandkids. It has them on it.

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

Happy birthday Big Ed! Thanks for telling us Andrew.
