Hey Spike, if you want to come to God's country, you just let me know. I could set you up with a place and point you in the right direction to find a job!

The car the boys bought off of Hobie to replace the General was a pale yellow '74 Plymouth Satellite. It was very similar to Daisy's Georgia car, but a lighter color and a base model without the Road Runner decals. Coy and Vance also turned up in a '74 Plymouth Satellite, but theirs was blue.

Most definitely! Here in Hazzard, we're all friends and it's real close in here...nice and cozy! If you know about the Dukes and the town, you may know about the guy that owns the car lot just outside of town, the town drunk...Hobie Harkins. That's where I got my name but I bet I don't drink more than 6 beers a year! I just used his name because I think he's hilarious! I joke a lot though about making it and drinking it ( although I've only had Moonshine twice in my whole life! )

That's quite impressive!

I've never had a chance to see the HD versions, but we did discuss them several years ago when CMT started showing them - see here. That discussion included criticism of the cropping and also the differently applied lighting effects. I assume that the Amazon versions haven't been edited for timing reasons. I think I'll be sticking to my DVDs for the time being.

I saw a commercial tonight for The Walking Dead. It was about fans coming together and becoming friends over the show. One of the fans said something along the lines of "I've created a family out of a tv show." Well, Dukes fans have been doing that for FORTY years! I know I'm not around here as often, but you all have helped me through some tough times. You're my Dukes family.

I always think that every time I watch it especially around Halloween. I wish they would have done something better like a haunted house that didn't get solved until the end of the episode like on Scooby Doo. Then at the end Boss could have said "I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky Dukes."

That's a nice model of Jesse's truck! On the show when they gave a description of a car they would describe it as a blue sedan or a red truck or something generic instead of using the cars actual names.

Whatever the worst Dukes of Hazzard episode is.....it is still better than the best episode of any other TV series in history.

It's the dawning of a new decade!

Black (The Penny Black was the World's first adhesive postage stamp)

Yes! These are great!

I'm going to have to pay more attention! I didn't know that! WOW! Thanks Hoss!

I don't usually think of the actor I mentioned in my last post. I usually think of Jesse Duke, lifelong farmer who still lives in Hazzard County and still has nephews who are driving him crazy. I like to imagine I live just down the road and go to the farm to help and after a hard day's work eat supper and sit around on the porch before sunset with Jesse while the boys are chasing women and Daisy is working at the Boar's Nest. Despite the fact that Jesse is different than me he has still been a great mentor for over 40 years. I am now Denver's age in season 2 and every day strive to be take the good parts of who he was and mirror them. Sure he could be a little rough at times but deep inside was a man who did his best to follow the Good Book, was always loyal to family and community and loved the land. It was always funny to hear him say "I ain't your Uncle Jesse" and I always wanted to hear him tell me "I am your Uncle Jesse". Even though I never met him and I'll never hear those words I know I would have gotten along great with him if we would have been neighbors and in my mind we are neighbors. Visiting Uncle Jesse is what I do in my mind when things get tough. He just has a way of making everything better. I love you Jesse. And I love you Denver. This 'ol world has been a better place the last 100 years because of you.

It's when Daisy, with the help of Cooter, went to help the boys against Snake Harmon and The Road Gang. She drove that car into their camp. ( And again....I can't think of the episode or the season!)

LOL....You're right about that. I suppose though if you were the Duke boys and Boss it did feel like they were everywhere.

I guess we're ALL " Duke Boys" in here....except the " Duke Girls" in here...lol!

I've never owned a cell phone, ATM card or even credit card. I wouldn't even know how to send a text message. My wife has all those things. I don't fault folks for having that stuff but I love being old school.

A lot of those things Waylon said weren't in the script but they let him use them. I bet that's one of them.

ooops...I also like Uneasy Rider by him too!

Weather took a swing back to winter and looks like it will be this way till next weekend. Unfortunately there's some good chances for frost next week and yesterday I cleaned up the patio and got the leaves out of the pots so now I got to figure out a way to cover the plants that have come up already overnight next week. Finished my seed starting yesterday as well. Gonna try corn again, have a bunch of tomato's and a couple of cucumbers. Just got to figure out where I'm gonna plant them at my dad's garden.

It's pretty cool what can be achieved with a few simple building materials. Well done, Flint.

Ol Cooter's poor gizzard

-The truck (Swamp Molly's) is in the background in one of the episodes when they are in that one abandoned town, I can't think of the episode of the top of my head. -I REALLY REALLY wish they would have brought back Swamp Molly and Cousin Alice at least once a season like they did with Huey Hogg. Cousin Alice was a great character played magnificently by Mary Jo Catlett. It would have been great to have her around to "wanna rastle" Bo, or use her brute strength to foil bad guys. The writers/etc really missed out not using them again. -now off to the fridge for some Butter Brickle Crunch....or maybe some Double Peanut Doo with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

Swamp Molly -- Welcome to California. Even though I like the Georgia episodes better it is nice to see some of these familiar places. -- Jesse has a different white Ford truck. Speaking of trucks I love Molly's. I think it was used in other eps, Farmer Perkins? Didn't you post something about that truck awhile back Hoss? -- This is the ep where Bo accidently had a live stick of dynamite on the arrow and blew up the outhouse and 5 years worth of Luke's car magazines. Later, Luke did just the opposite. He put a dud on when they needed a live stick. -- Several years ago I learned from Ray Kohn of Northeast Ohio Dukes that Cousin Alice (Mary Jo Catlett) is the voice of Mrs Puff on SpongeBob. "Wanna rastle?" LOL -- I dont know why Boss said that Swamp Molly is ugly as sin. She looks good for her age. -- The first time I saw this episode I was as surprised as Luke to see weapons when the door was opened. Oh well, it might be California but this was a great episode. At the end Jesse hinted that we would see Molly again. Sadly we didn't

It was funny when Jesse said the boys wouldn't do well in a jury trial because there would be too many parents on the jury of the girls they've been chasing since they were 13. They'd hang you before lunch! LOL! ...One of my fav. lines! I wonder if that still was real. I bet it was. Hobie? Probably was ...but ya can't ever tell how good a still it is until you sample the shine! ( In real life, I've only had Moonshine twice!)….though my uncle used to make it and run it! His son today is Tennessee State Highway Patrol! Ironic huh?

Mary Kaye's Baby -- I always love a funny quote. When the boys were being chased and Bo was driving Luke said "If you don't step on it, he's going to give you a ticket for illegal parking" -- This is the only episide with no General Lee in it. I never even noticed that until I saw it on HazzardNet years ago. -- I laughed when Bo stepped out of the car to get gas and told the guy "Give me about 2 dollars worth would ya Hoss" -- It was also funny when Bo and Luke couldn't open a jar but Mary Kaye had no trouble. --If you look across the road when McQuaid got to the farm, and later when Rosco shot his henchman in the toe, it looks like the green mobile home recording studio in the background from Daisy's song. -- One thing I really love about this ep is all the time they spend at the farmhouse. Great story. The Dukes will risk their lives to help folks.

I could've lied and either said no, it was really me in the General ...or, that faint image is really the Ghost of General Lee

That is AWESOME!! I always liked good ol' Hammerhead...uh hand! ( You will remember Rosco's and the sheriff's brief conversation over the CB)

MOON!

Woops, sorry. I got too close to Hobie's Finest. Just the smell of it made me a little light headed.

My favorite moonshiner is Jesse Duke. My second favorite is Hobie Harkins. My third favorite is Popcorn Sutton. Since two of those three have passed on to ShineHeaven all that's left is Hobie's Finest....although rumor has it that Hoss has a couple barrels of Jesse's hidden down in the root cellar. Somehow they made it across Hazzard Pond.

Ain't THAT the truth! Probably with all the PC crap going around, no station in the USA has the gonads to do it nowadays!! Oh, by he way...it's great to see you in Hazzard again Muffin' !! We love you and miss you very much, when we don't see you!

Check out estatesales.net and put in your ZIP code. I've come across some of the items you mentioned at sales in my area and I wouldn't be surprised if you found a few in your area as well as some DoH memorabilia. Just a little advice be prepared to do some combat saleing, there are people that go to estate and garage sales that didn't have an Uncle Jessie to teach them manners when growing up. You will get pushed, shoved, stuff ripped out of your hands, your money stolen if you don't have a death grip on your wallet or purse etc... Some of the stories I could tell you... at one sale I almost got pushed down stairs by one impatient jackwagon. I've come across some rally neat vintage or antique items at sales though.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome to HNet. I never made a big map, but I can tell you where most of the locations are. I only had access to Google Streetview for my "now" pictures, so feel free to post your own photos if you can get better angles. I think that most of the loose ends have been tied up now, but there may be some places I missed. If you spot any new locations that you recognize, I'd like to see them.

I want to open up the discussion on the Duke boys knives! I know that they carry the buck 110 but I want to see as many pictures as possible from the show!

I agree. I feel bad about not making it....but family is priority.

Is anybody interested in getting together on Saturday December 21 at 2:00 Eastern Standard Time? If not, suggest something else.

Another good thing about Hazzard County. We tend to have happy endings!.....This is truly the best TV show in history!

The duke place was said to be on old mill road. unless the number was mentioned, i made it be 15774 in my imagination.

Well, Joe, just remember, you've got your Hazzardite friends here and we're always here for you. Come on by the car lot ( Hobie Harkins was the used car dealer in Hazzard), and we'll take a spin in some of our new acquisitions! Acquisition.....lol...they learned me real good over there at Hazzard High! I got a real pretty foreign buggy you can shine up to! Shine....yea ...well come on over and we'll have some of that too! Don't tell Boss...he owns this lot and I don't buy my shine from him! ( I like the good stuff! )

I'll bet you're just being modest. I'd take a dirt bike over a Maserati myself.....unless I could take the Maserati, sell it, buy a dirt bike and then donate the remainder to charity.....like the Hobie Harkins Home for Retired Moonshiners.

My dad had it once with the oil cap. But I think it stayed there for 100+ miles until we noticed. No problems whatsoever. The 03 Ford Focus we had has a splash screen so no oil went out.

Due too those colours only being associated to Thomas the Tank Engine for me I cant think of anything else right now. This is beside the Harry Potter carriage. Good looking train nonetheless!

All we know is that the Dukes were not racists in any way, shape or form ......so that might be a good place to end the discussion.

Hey there Tony! How have you been? I hope you're doing well. You're right about the cars. However there is a price to pay for everything. When thinking about the loss of those cars realize that they weren't the valuable classics back then that they are today. Nobody would make a show today if it meant destroying 300 Corvettes from the 1950s. Also consider what came from losing those Chargers. One of the most iconic televisions shows in human history brought joy to millions (dare I say a couple billion) people for years and here we are 40 years later and many of them are still finding happiness and many fans who haven't even been born will someday enjoy it. Sure, the glory days of Dukes are never coming back and fan numbers decrease with time (like all iconic shows do) but the Dukes will outlive us currrect fans in some form or another. For Charger fans it can be difficult to think about those cars but look at it this way. Their loss led a fellow Charger to climb to the top of the mountain as the most famous and recognizable car in history.....the General Lee. I doubt anything will ever replace it.

I was thinking the SAME thing! " You're unlucky because we can always step outside!" GOOFY!! Also stupid, remember how Bo was going to make the jump and when he was about to do it, Luke was going to " Ride shotgun" with him, so he could keep his eye on the speed, etc. so Bo could concentrate on the jump!! THAT was weak! How about shooting his chances in the foot, by adding a couple hundred pounds to the weight of the car? Dumb!!! This whole episode with its goofiness and stupidity, makes you wonder about the writers! This one and Dr. Jekyl and Mr. duke are my two least favorite!

This is the other project I started around the same time as Daisy's Jeep. It's Swamp Molly's 1946 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup. The same truck also appeared (slightly more distressed) a few episodes later in 'Deputy Dukes'. I could continue adding rust and primer well into the new year, but I've decided to call it finished . I still love muscle cars, but I've started to really like these curvy pickups from the '40s and '50s. I'm thinking of doing a restored version of this one, so watch this space .
