IMDb says that the final episode, 'Opening Night at the Boar's Nest', was filmed between December 20, 1984 and January 2, 1985. That's only just over a month before the original air date of February 8, 1985. Remember that much like Wikipedia, these sections of IMDb are edited by the public, so you might want to double-check the filming dates with another source.

I don't know if the cast knew that was going to be the final episode at the time it was filmed. I'm.guessing it was filmed in November/December of 1984 before a holiday break. I've been watching commentary about the production of each Knight Rider episode which likely had a similar production schedule to dukes and it seems like the episodes are filmed about 1-2 months before they air once they get to mid season. IE a season premiere might film in June and get shown in september, but by the middle part of the season, the episodes are airing faster than they are filmed, so later on there is less time between when an episode is filmed and when it airs. I wonder if there were any episode scripts ready to be filmed had Dukes not been cancelled.

Happy Birthday Byron Cherry(Coy Duke)!

It may be a US expression, but it's well known over here too.

Thanks Hoss...Close but no cigar. (Do they have that term across that big pond?)

I updated the forum software tonight. You know the drill. If you see any weirdness, let me know. I'm hoping this fixes some of the login issues some of you have been having.

What an excellent question. I never thought about that.

Happy Easter everybody!

Happy 67th Dukes of Hazzard Birthday to Byron Cherry(Coy Duke)4/17/55!

Just before Hannibal punches the guy in the face, the bad guy does a pretty good Dukes-style hood slide.

In the scene right before Hannibal punches the guy in the face, I believe that building in the background is the barracks where bo and Luke were held in cool hands. I remember boss Hogg lying on a bench right in front of that railing after he ate all the food. Also if you look during the actual punch, I think you can see the solitary cages that both hannibal and the dukes were held in way in the background off to the right.

I miscounted - it was 13 days earlier on April 2 (Good Friday last year).

February 8, 1985, the final episode of The Dukes of Hazzard was aired.

What a strange day. It snowed here up on Lake Erie, quite a bit in fact. But the ground was so warm that it melted as soon as it hit. That's weird but not real weird for here. My daughter lives in northern Virginia and it snowed enough to turn the place into a winter wonderland....and that is extremely rare for south of the Mason Dixon line in mid April.
