I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I was watching 'The Naked Gun" last night as a sort of tribute to OJ Simpson when I spotted a familiar face. When Frank Drebin goes to visit Nordberg in hospital, the nurse at reception is played by Doris Hess. Doris played Emery Potter's long-time girlfriend/wife Mabel Wooster in "People's Choice".

It depends which episode you're watching. It was "Mount Paran Road" in 'Gold Fever' and "Mount Paron Road" in 'New Deputy in Town'.

"Country music" is the Dukes ' code for switching to channel 17.

Apparently we do, although I don't have anything but the free TV channels and an extensive DVD collection.

I think you'll find that it's xenophobic, Hobie. ZERO for spelling!

I didn't bother writing a report for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix two weeks ago because although there were a few good fights down the field, it finished as another Red Bull 1-2. I will give a special mention to Oliver Bearman who was a last minute stand-in for Ferrari and finished seventh in his first ever grand prix at just 18 years old.

Today's race was the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. Max Verstappen claimed another pole, but was overtaken Ferrari's Carlos Sainz on the second lap. Max suffered a rare technical failure two laps later and had to retire his Red Bull when one of his rear brakes caught fire. Lewis Hamilton also retired at nearly one third distance when his Mercedes engine failed. His team mate George Russell crashed on the last lap leaving Mercedes pointless in Australia. Carlos Sainz went on to win the race with his team mate Charles Leclerc in second, followed by the McLarens of Lando Norris and local hero Oscar Piastri in third and fourth. Sergio Perez could only manage fifth in the second Red Bull. Carlos Sainz's victory was even more impressive because he missed the last race with appendicitis.

According to my list, the Celebrity Speed Trap victims were:
The Oak Ridge Boys who sang "Old Time Lovin'" in 'Granny Annie' Tammy Wynette who sang "Rocky Top" in 'The Hazzardville Horror' Hoyt Axton who sang "Speed-Trap" in 'Good Neighbors, Duke' The Oak Ridge Boys who sang "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight" in 'State of the County' Dottie West who sang "Even if you Were Jesse James" in 'By-Line, Daisy Duke' Freddy Fender who sang "Jambalaya" in 'Bye, Bye Boss' Roy Orbison who sang "Pretty Woman" in 'The Great Hazzard Hijack' Donna Fargo who sang "Lonestar Cowboy" in 'Double Dukes' Johnny Paycheck who sang "Take This Job and Shove It" in 'The Fugitive' Buck Owens who sang "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" in 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again' Mickey Gilley who sang "Don't The Girls Get Prettier At Closing Time" in 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' Mel Tillis who sang "Stay A Little Longer" in 'The Hazzardgate Tape' NB. Although the format was used in season 2, it wasn't until Dottie West was caught in season 3 that the  'Celebrity Speed Trap' name was used.

I would've said card sharp, but apparently both are correct!

Can I point out that this is the Hazzard Square thread which lists filming locations. I don't know why it's being used to discuss other issues when there are places for that elsewhere on HNet.

I'd never even heard that anyone thought picnic was a racist word. It appears that Fort Lauderdale City Commissioner Robert McKinzie made the claim in 2019 before it was subsequently debunked by professors of language and African-American history. Yet another case of someone jumping to conclusions without all the facts. At least Cadbury's won't have have to change the name of their chocolate bar on the this side of the Atlantic!

There's been a Gordon Bennett race here in Ireland since 1903 - see here. There's a memorial to the race by the R418 a few miles north-east of Athy in Co. Kildare. I drove past it two weeks ago, but I've never stopped to look at it. You can read more here.

I wasn't familiar with 'Drift Away', but found that I had it on a compilation album. It's very different to 'The "In" Crowd', but I liked it. Here's Waylon's version:

This is the only Dobie Gray song I know. I like it, but can't call myself a fan if I don't know any others.
