Dukes of Hazzard News

Just a reminder, ol' "Bo Duke" himself will be at the Rod & Custom car show in Monticellow, Iowa this coming weekend, Feb 25 & 26! Monticello is maybe a half-hour or so out of Dubuque. You can see the shindig details here. We also did a write-up for it on our home page. Personally, I think it's cool that John and Tom are both doing a car show this year. I know Ben has one coming up in March, and Jimmie and Sonny have one in March as well. We'll be promoting those very soon, and I thank everybody who's been posting about them on the Forums. That's not even counting Hazzard Homecoming and the fall appearances that are lining up. As always, we'll do our best to …

I seen something in the newspaper about Waylon's family releasing some of his never before heard music sometime soon. Since my computer skills are bad, maybe somebody here can find it and post a link with more information. It sure would be cool to buy Waylon's new album. It's been a long time since I've done that! Waylon lives!

Just want to share some upbeat stuff here. First of all, with all the Dukes stuff going on, it's hard to believe this is 2012 and not 1982! We got Tom Wopat and John Schneider making car show appearances, we got a pro golfer driving the General Lee to the Phoenix Open, we got country music star Dierks Bently telling a newspaper how he watched "The Dukes of Hazzard," and we got major retailers carrying new Dukes of Hazzard t-shirts. Plus the Dukes are still on CMT, the late hour nonwithstandin', and Hazzard Homecoming is just about six months away. If all this is news to you, lemme break it down a bit for ya! Tom Wopat will be at the Canton Hot Rod Show on Feb 18 &am…

Just heard that Al Wyatt passed away early this morning. Just wanted everyone to know about his passing.

Byron will be a celebrity guest at the 9th Annual Car, Truck/Cycle Show Art & Music Festival in Marilla, NY July 28-29 2012. For more info visit Byron's Official website!

Link - official website 8/12/11 post revealed that they would be grandparents in January 2012. Official Facebook Link announced the birth on 1/11/12. Congratulations on the arrival of the little one!

Our homepage has been updated with all the latest Dukes news! As of today's date anyhow. Take a look!

Edmund's InsideLine has released it's 100 Greatest Movie and TV Cars of All Time list and sitting pretty in the top spot is - you know it - The General Lee! The General beat out every other car you can think of including, for the second time in recent months, the Bandit Trans Am. You can check out the list at InsideLine.com. See if your other favorites made the list! (What? There's others??)

I can't believe I'm typing "Glee" in the HazzardNet Forums, but... YES! It's true! John has landed a role on Glee. Here's the tidbit Mufn found on the net: "John Schneider has landed the role of Sam's father and will first appear in this season's eighth episode, which marks Chord Overstreet's return to Glee. Glee airs Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. eastern on Fox." I don't know what this means, exactly, but there ya go!

Hi fellow Dukes Fans, I just found out that Tom Wopat will be visiting the Canton Hot Rod Show Feb 18th & 19th, 2012 at the Canton Memorial Civic Center, Down Town Canton Ohio. They are supposed to announce it soon on cantonhotrodshow.com website. This is a rare treat for Dukes Fans! Anyone with a General Lee planning on showing off their Ride?

This makes the third time they are being skipped. Now don't get me wrong I hated the time Tom and John were away too, but they made their choice and did what they felt was right. Having said that it is not fair to the folks that worked on those shows to not have their part of Dukes history shown. CMT needs to rectify this now and give this show proper respect by showing all episodes, evem if they are edited in spots. Robbie

If you have a General Lee, or a Hazzard County patrol car, or Daisy's Jeep, or Cooter's tow truck or Uncle Jesse's pickup, Cooter wants YOU. And your Hazzard car, for the 3rd annual Hazzard Run, October 1st and 2nd. The deal is this: You pay $30 to participate, and you drive your car from Cooter's Place in Nashville TN to Cooter's Place in Gatlinburg TN, in a convoy. In return you get public adoration from spectators, a dash plaque, a t-shirt, and some amusements at Cooter's Place. Rick Hurst and Ben Jones will be attending. Great opportunity to hang out with other car owners and blow your own Dixie horn. Here's a spectator view supplied by one of our members last year:…

The famous Hazzard County Stunt Show, presented by the Northeast Ohio Dukes, will be at the Lake County Fair on August 20th! There are NO cast appearances involved, this is a car stunt show only. But it's a great show, featuring the General Lee and police cars in live, dirt-flying, chase-and-crash action. Here's a link with the where and what: Hazzard County Stunt Show They always pack the place, so get there early for a good seat!

Get ready to call him the "25 Million Dollar Sheriff." James Best is suing Time-Warner/Warner Bros over unpaid royalties. Best claims he was owed 5% of all Dukes of Hazzard merchandising revenue for stuff that contained Sheriff Rosco likeness. By his estimates/his attorney's estimates, that could have been 5 to 25 million during the Dukes heyday alone. Best has actually collected something around $175,000 for this stuff in the last 30 years. I'm working on an HNet homepage update and will supply more details there, but that's the meat n' potatoes of it!

I was watching the news tonight and just about fell out of my chair. If I had the money I would have driven to Charleston right then and there. Apparently he had an apperance at our Appalachian Power Park, home to our minor league baseball team. Anyone that got to go tonight... care to share how it was?

Maybe you already know the story of this great publicity at the time, but I just see it because I sent a friend of my country fan also the dukes of hazzard. I appreciate any comments. a big hug from Argentina.

Good ol' boy John Schneider, otherwise known as "Bo Duke" from The Dukes of Hazzard, will be appearing at the Philadelphia Comic Con June 18th and 19th, 2011. A General Lee will also be on display. This show is crazy big, so if you plan on going, study up on the schedules, event times, parking, venue map, and all that stuff. Here's a link that you can follow to John's page for the event. Click around from there for the show details. http://www.wizardworld.com/johnschneider.html

Hey everyone, John Schneider's new movie Doonby has a contest running that started TODAY! The prize is a Guild guitar (supplied by Fender) that John played and signed at an event in Washington, D.C. last month. Go here for more info --> http://on.fb.me/heiqph (I swear that's not a bad link.) m.

Forgive me if I've placed this in the wrong section. I'm new here and am still trying to navigate my way around. I just posted an introduction to myself in the Introduce Yourself section. Go check it out. The reason for this post is to see if anyone would like to re-watch the show from the beginning. I am starting Season 1 early next week! Whoever else wants to, we can discuss the episodes as we watch them! Just let me know =D

I got this sent to me on Facebook and am posting it here so you all know about this. Hope this is appreciated. I will miss that house. Own a piece of the Dukes homesteadAs you have probably already heard the Dukes farmhouse in Georgia is being dismantled. The owner was told it was a safety hazard and he is currently having it torn down. The contractor is saving the pieces and selling them. The money he raises will help pay him for the job. If you are interested in owning a piece of the Dukes farmhouse please contact this contractor, Chuck Hewatt, as soon as possible. His email address is hollis42@comcast.net Here is an email which he sent to Jon Holland to be posted for…

I have some news from Tom Sarmento. He has had many people asking him how they can show the Baxley family their expressions of sorrow over the loss of stunt coordinator Paul Baxley. The Baxley family will be having a memorial service later this month for Paul. Tom will be attending. He said that he wants to help the "Dukes" fans so this is what he has come up with. Tom thinks it best if people who want to do something send cards. That way each person can write whatever they personally want to say on the card. Then mail the card to him at his home address. He will personally hand deliver all the cards he receives by the end of next week (Saturday, March 19) to Pau…

Tom Sarmento wants everyone to know that we have lost Paul Baxley. I don't have any info yet but he passed either last night or this morning. RIP Paul. Phyllis
