Always happy to keep y’all up to date on Hazzard news

Thank you for all you do for the HazzardNet and all the Dukes fans who love!

So, there's been a lot going on with me lately and I obviously missed the July 8th or 9th date. I am too fatigued/brain fogged to do the update this week, so I'm going to shoot for the 22nd or 23rd. The site will be down in the wee hours as I completely back everything up and start the upgrade. There is also a good chance I will forget again. But the good news is I have til the end of the year to remember.

Howdy y’all, just wanted to give a heads up in case nobody knows, not sure. Dukes are now available on Amazon Prime to stream, in excellent quality even though its the same as the hd tv airings I think. But definitely watchable! Given that I hope Warner will release the series again on blu ray in much higher quality than the old dvd prints.

I have. At Christmas time last year, WB had an event on the town square that was primarily aimed at Gilmore Girls fans. You could pay to get in and walk around the town square freely all day. I truly enjoyed it, even though I was a Dukes fan more so than a Gilmore Girls fan! lol WB will most likely have the same event at Christmas time later this year!

Oops. That's because I screenshot the wrong house... the one across the street. This is the correct house. It looks like one of them, either the Google Maps or the LA county fire site has it flipped.

Thanks for telling us. Sounds like a little progress is being made.

I read John Schieders recent book, Livining "My Life My Way" John talked about how Sorrell would sometimes host the cast at his home in Sherman Oaks. John also mentioned in the book that Sorrell would show up to work at WB, and he drove an old Volvo. I guess Sorrell had more than one house.

Thank you for the warm welcome. Earlier this week when I was traveling from West LA to Burbank, I put the address for Sorrell's home in Sherman Oaks into my GPS, since it wasn't really out of my way! It led me to this two-car garage located on a windy narrow hillside street in Sherman Oaks. I assume that there are a set of stairs on the side of the garage and that the house is below it.

Went to watch the home run derby tonight but found out we don't have Netflix. So, on Amazon Prime do you have to pay for each individual Dukes episode?

Another Country song I'm hearing most days on the radio is 'Dry Spell' by Kacey Musgraves. I really like the innuendo-laced lyrics that treat the subject matter with a lot of humor without going too far. I've just watched the video for the first time, and it just adds to the fun. Maybe the British movies and TV shows I grew up with in the '70s and '80s make me appreciate it more!

it's great to have you. if you have any questions, just pm any of us!

Well, you are in Hazzard County now and we are happy to have you. Next time you see an older cop in Los Angeles ask if they were working the year Enos was a law enforcement officer there. I bet they will have a lot of stories about him. My guess is that Turk has retired by now. Possum on a gumbush, grits and greens strike again. Seriously though, we are thrilled to have you and look forward to hearing more about your love of the greatest TV show in history.

I'm not sure if the house pictured is the same house that Sorrell owned in Sherman Oaks. Google maps has it blurred out and it looks like its a gated property. The listing says 5 bed, 5.5 bathroom, 3800 square feet, and is worth 3.8 million today.

As a Die-Hard Dukes fan who lives in Los Angeles, I never would have thought of looking for Sorrell's home! I simply read that he lived in Sherman Oaks. I definitely think that a successful TV actor in the early 1980's could afford to buy a very desirable house here in Los Angeles for a six-figure sum. Today that same house would have a multi-million-dollar price tag on it today. One of the challenges for homebuyers in the early 1980's was that interest rates were at all time historic highs (18-21%), but a successful actor could afford to buy a house outright without a mortgage, giving them an advantage over other homebuyers. Surely, Boss Hogg wouldn't take on a mortgage with such a high interest rate. LOL

His house in Sherman Oaks was on almost half an acre and had a pool.

My guess is that after season 7 Hughie finally came up with a plan that actually worked and swindled all his uncle's money.

My plan is to put that pretty little philly Emma Tisdale in a sidecar so when I win the 2027 Moonshine 400 on her dirt bike we'll be doing it together.

One of the secrets to happiness is to tune out the bad things and focus on the good. I have met several of the stars but John is not one of them. You are lucky and should be thankful. Those great memories will last a lifetime. Thanks for sharing them with us.

To quote Larry the Cable Guy "I don't care who you are, that's funny right there."

The original first season is a definite standout favourite to me, it made Hazzard feel more depth in a sense, mind you ain’t nothing wrong with the rest of the series. But backlot shoots don’t compare to Covington in my books.

Lewis Hamilton took pole for Saturday's sprint race, but got passed by Kimi Antonelli at about the midway point and had to settle for second at his home race. For the main race, Kimi took pole ahead of the two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis, and the other Mercedes of George Russell. Kimi had a poor start and was passed by both Ferraris. He didn't get ahead of Lewis until lap 11. Kimi then stayed out while the other leaders pitted. That led to a great 3-way battle between Lewis, George and Max Verstappen. When Kimi finally changed his tires he came out behind Charles. The new tires helped Kimi catch Charles quickly, but then on lap 41 he got a loose piece of the car affecting his steering. By the time the team managed to clear it, Kimi was out of contention. On lap 48 (of 52) Max crashed out of third place bringing out a full safety car. Both Ferraris pitted for new soft tires, but sadly we were deprived of a last lap shoot-out as the race finished under the safety car. The cars in F1 don't refuel, so they can't extend the race like they can in NASCAR. At the flag it was Charles ahead George, Lewis and the McLaren of Lando Norris. Just like the sprint race, the British drivers could only manage second, third and fourth! Race highlights are here. There's now two-week gap until the Belgian Grand Prix (sorry, but I had to mention Belgium ).

They've been very generous in that respect.

Say what you like about the UK, but we've created more independence days around the world than any other country!

probably be over in a corner somewhere...making out with Emma!

I was 16. This 250 celebration didn't seem as big but I'm sure 300 will be huge. I'll be hanging out in Hazzard Heaven then.....the only place better than the USA to live!

That happens to me all the time. I always want to do things but so much else is always popping up. There is simply not enough time in the day....and week!

I was 5, and I don't think it made it onto my radar being 3,000 miles away. I do remember dressing in red, white and blue a year later for Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee.

I remember the 200 birthday.....does anybody in here remember? ( I was 10)

The General Lee is a really NICE car.

I know the smoke has spread over a large area of the northern United States, but it hasn't made it across the Atlantic. It may, however, affect the air quality at Sunday's World Cup final in New Jersey.

I was doing some research on Sorrell Booke and fell down a rabbit hole when I discovered he used to live in Pacific Palisades. My thoughts immediately went to wondering if his house was still standing after the wildfires in 2025. Sadly, the answer is no. I was thinking of posting this on the HazzardNet Facebook page, but it's kind of sad so I'm not sure. Thoughts?

AI is going to be quite a game changer. I can only imagine what the future will be like. RIP reality. The future is fantasy.

I was 3 that year! My two sisters and I all had red, white, and blue matching swimsuits that summer.
