The soundtrack was quite good, but the characters and general ethos/values of the movie bore very little resemblance to the TV show. It was as if the writers had never seen the original series and just created their own back story and history to target a difference audience. The 2007 movie rewrote everything again with characters' ages and history differing from the TV show and the 2005 movie. For example, we all know from 'Happy Birthday, General Lee' that the Duke Boys found the General in a junkyard and painted it orange in Cooter's Garage, yet the 2005 movie starts with General having faded paint and crude graphics, and the 2007 movie has them finding an orange Charger with faded graphics at the bottom of a lake. This seems to happen a lot with movie remakes of 70s/80s TV shows. The Starsky & Hutch movie was a year before the first Dukes one. I've only seen it once, and it wasn't very memorable. The A-Team movie was in 2010, and while a couple of the original cast had cameos at the end, it was overloaded with ridiculous CGI. The trailer for the 2017 CHiPs movie was enough to put me off ever wanting to see it!

The cast was great, their General Lee was faithful, but somehow it was a disaster. I only liked the city scenes, seeing the General Lee being driven out of the garage, and Jessica Simpson looking hot back then. This music video rocks even to this day.

Wondering if Hoss or anybody has figure out where they filmed OSAGE County when Bo and Luke get put in the chain-gang!! Thanks Rob

Since my brother in law got his new snowblower attachment and new mower he gave me his old snowblower. And it looks like I'll be using it Thursday as they're forecasting upto a foot of snow for Wednesday-Thursday. Of the big 3 hardware chains in town I found out Home Depot allows you to rent their trucks without having to make a big purchase in store to haul home. So I rented their truck to get the snowblower from my brother in law and bring it home. After I dropped the truck back off to Home Depot I checked out the weekend clearance sale and ended up buying another ratcheting screwdriver that I really didn't need but for half a turn of the handle it does a full turn of the bit and I only paid $5 with the extra 15% off clearance prices sale they were running.

Well y'all... Let's hope Miss Theresa Clark is true to her word and ships my hat this week.

Welcome, Rob. There's not a lot to go on for the location of Osage County. Being one of the later episodes, my guess would be either Lyons Canyon or Pico Canyon, both to the west of the I5 at Santa Clarita. Lyons Canyon was used for the Duke Farm and the Boar's Nest as well as many chase scenes in that era. Looking at the recent aerial views, it's now fairly overgrown and the 1980s roads aren't so easy to see. Pico Canyon was used in a few episodes as well as for shows like Knight Rider. It's wider and more open than Lyons Canyon. The eastern end has been developed and changed since the '80s, but the main canyon looks virtually the same.

Ha ha...love that line.
