Wow. You guys are awesome. I feel like a chooch. I made a post 5 years ago and y’all responded and I ghosted you. So, my wife planned a surprise trip to Covington, GA with the fam. Got To visit the jump sites from the first 5 episodes, meet some other cool Dukes fans AND John Schneider happened to be in town after a convention in Atlanta. Talk about an amazing day! Then, hit Cooters Garage in Pigeon Forge, TN a couple days later. Anyway, I’m totally geeking out on all things Dukes again and looking forward to checking out the forums here! I still love your artwork recreations, Hoss!

They're currently running the 2024 Camaro body and probably will next season as well.

I was just watching a season 3 episode of The Fall Guy called 'Pirates of Nashville'. The main storyline was about bootlegged Country records, so Colt and gang had to fly to Nashville and visit The Grand Ole Opry. The first singer they met was Dottie West - one of Boss' Celebrity Speed Trap victims. A couple of others like Mickey Gilley were mentioned, but not seen. Then Charlie Daniels and his band showed up to perform 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'. The episode also featured Miriam Byrd-Nethery who appeared in two episodes of Dukes. The episode finished with Colt losing a bet and having to sing the show's theme song which was portrayed as having been written by Howie. I'm no expert on Tennessee geography, but the street signs in the urban car chase looked suspiciously like the ones in LA, and the out-of-town chase went down roads lined with white fencing that were very like the ones often seen in Dukes (e.g. W Potrero Road in Westlake Village).

I assume they're talking about 'Redneck Boy in the Promised Land: The Confessions of "Crazy Cooter"'. It came out in 2008.

I'm guessing Sonny Shroyer is a lot like Enos....only much smarter. (Of course Enos was pretty smart when he a cop in Los Angeles.) But I'm sure Sonny is a true Southern gentleman.

I saw the phrase "Tír na nÓg" (it means "Land of Youth") painted on several buildings, and the bar was advertising "Ceol Anocht" ("Music Tonight"), but I don't think it was the Celtic Women. It was probably traditional Irish music, but we had food waiting at the house, so we didn't stay to find out. Just to keep you happy, Roger:

Many Happy Returns to Don, also known as Sheriff Little! He and Ben/Cooter share the same birthday.

I just thought of something last week.....ever notice the theme song? Do you ever start the DVD and then go do something while it's playing ( I take my medicine before bed) and I NEVER get tired of hearing it, even when it plays over and over. It's like the episodes themselves.....there's no point of exhaustion! You can listen and watch over and over and over! What other show, band, etc. can you name like that???!!!

OK.. .THE last 2 beers ( and I'm on the 2nd one) and then I'll spend the weekend getting ready ( surgery Tues. morning) . They gave me a special soap I have to use 3 days/times before surgery......special Moonshine soap?????

Skipper, Your Aunt Carol's sister Millie is in my prayers.

It's past midnight at my house right now and since Enos lives in the same time zone in Valdosta Georgia that means he is officially 90. Happy birthday buddy. You are a true Southern gentleman and were a natural to play Enos Strate. This is cool.....our puppy Lulu turns one year old today. When we got her at the beginning of the year I was thrilled to learn she shared a birthday with Sonny Shroyer!

I'm glad to hear you are following Doc Appleby's orders. Keep us posted.

well, cousins, right now I'm watching you know what and having a few AB's. I just watched Bad Day In Hazzard and I'm about to watch Miss Tri-Counties! I hope every one is doing well! 9/2 is coming fast and I'm counting down! Doctor gave me specific instructions, no beer or cold drinks 3 days before surgery! So Friday ( DOHD) is my last party day until after surgery and probably until somewhere around November!

They don't even use the same car throughout 'Twin Trouble' - at least two different cars are used if you compare the front corner lights. It's probably safe to say that the car that was rolled wasn't used again. I think all of the cars in question are 1967 Chevy 4-door sedans. I'm surprised that you didn't spot another blue 1967 Chevy 4-door sedan being driven by Mary Lou Tompkins in 'A Baby for the Dukes' earlier in season 6. That one survived, so it could've been used in later episodes. They were most likely Impalas, but some could've been Bel Airs and Biscaynes. A couple appear to have the Sport Sedan body. Like with your previous questions about cars being the same across episodes, I think all we can say is they were similar. If they didn't get wrecked, they may have been reused.

SONNY SHROYER will turn 90 on thursday

After Boss' brakes go out, Vance apparently stops his car by simply pressing the clutch. Vance previous told Boss "...what you gotta do is try to slowly downshift into first gear. And then let the gears slow you down.". All we see is him depressing the clutch but never raising it again as you would to shift gears with a stick transmission. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 1970 Cadillac DeVille only came with an automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have a clutch pedal anyway.

Every time I rematch Dukes (for the thousandth time) I notice new things I’ve never noticed before like in Ding Dong the Boss is Dead, Boss’s Cadillac is at Cooters with the note on it. When the scaffolding almost falls on him you can see the Cadillac in front of the steps. Then when Boss goes to get in his car he walks over to Cooters and gets the car and reads the note. I’m sure someone else has noticed this but I like noticing new things when you aren’t focusing on it you don’t really notice.

Here are some drawings I did of the General Lee

I only watched the scene around the impound yard, but most of those stores are on French Street. You can see towards Boss' bank when the boys escape jail, but the bank is blocked by a truck. You can also see a redressed Rhuebottoms and paint store in the background when Sheriff Little crashes through the fence. The building with the fence is redressed as different businesses in several episodes.

Hmmm.....I don't know if I should make it a Buttermilk with a Moonshine chaser or Moonshine with a butter milk chaser!

You got my vote Hobie. As long as your first act as Commissioner is to make buttermilk the official drink of our county.

My wife had cataract surgery today and I joined a fantasy football league....just another day in the life of a retired couple.

unless of course you're talking about me running for the next Country Commissioner! Just remember.....I'm right and everybody else is wrong! THAT'S scripture'!!! Look it up! II Opinions 5:45!

My sister called crying today. She had to put her cat to sleep. It had cancer. She lives a long ways away and we rarely talk so I could tell she really needed her big brother. I told her about you Skipper.

I agree hard to believe he is 74! He definitely doesn’t look it. I meet him in Pottsville, Pennsylvania along with Tom Wopat & Catherine Bach.

Hard to believe he's that old! Where did you meet him?

Shhhhhh!

there was never INCLEMENT weather in hazzard

Hey everybo0dy....where's Roger and Hoss??? Where have they been?

I still enjoy the show and all the characters. Cooter Davenport is a great guy! It's his kind that made the south great! I ignore Ben Jones existence, however! If you can read his book and not have a problem with him, I strongly question your American/southern values!

(Season 4 Diamonds in the Rough) Bo Duke:"I think he got to much of a head start." Luke Duke:"We're gonna have to take a shortcut or somethin'." Bo Duke:"But we can't take that shortcut. That ain't no road." Luke Duke:"That never stopped you before. So come on." Both together:"Let's take it. Haha!" Bo Duke:"Ya-hoo!" Frank:"They just jumped the road over there." Lisa:"You just take the long way around. You don't drive like they do." Waylon Jennings:"Now honey, they ain't nobody drive like they do!" 😂

The theme song went to NUMBER 1 in 1980

I'm just back from a couple of days in Connemara - a scenic region in Co. Galway on the Atlantic west coast of Ireland. I went as part of a group, and we all had a very enjoyable trip despite the miserable weather yesterday. The area is part of a Gaeltacht - a region where Irish is the first language, and very few of the road signs are in English, although everyone speaks English. Last night several of us went for a drink at the nearby Hooker Bar, but don't worry, the pub is over 200 years old and is named after the Galway hooker - a traditional fishing boat used in Galway Bay.

Happy birthday Saturday Big Ed! I hear the Dukes have just crossed into your county. Put down that cake and ice cream and put the pedal to the metal!

enos is an X los angeles cop

I've pretty much answered this question in the Bloopers thread. The narrow push bar was an off-the-shelf part for pickup trucks and was only welded to the bumper. The wider push bar was custom-made and welded to the chassis making it much stronger. If you click the link you'll see where one of the narrow push bars fell off at the start of 'My Son, Bo Hogg'.

when hobie IS under the INFLUENCE.... all cars are red

Midwest Street (Hazzard Square) played Springville in 'Deputy Dukes'. Can you give examples of episodes where the town in Chickasaw appeared and I should be able to tell you where they were filmed. I think they generally used French Street for Chickasaw, which is the one behind the the courthouse between Midwest Street and New York Street.

I remember my grandmother used to give me Buttermilk and so I was raised on it and like it. Once, in 2nd grade, the teacher asked us who all liked Buttermilk and I was the only one to raise their hand!

Sending prayers her way.

I've heard that stuff will grow hair on your teeth!

DUKES FANS! 🚗💦 Did you know that the General Lee in Season 2's "The Runaway" episode sank in a lake on a barge? 🤯 Some say it was John Schneider's personal car loaned for the episode! 🤔 Even more interesting, this particular General Lee is rumored to be the ONLY one with WELDED SHUT DOORS throughout the entire series! 🚗🔒 Do you think it's still underwater? 🤔 Share your thoughts! 💬 #TheDukesOfHazzard #GeneralLee #JohnSchneider

I like his politics but also like Meadowmufn's rules to not talk about politics.

Saw Big Ed on TV today. But he wasn't in uniform and he wasn't Big Ed. It was on A-Team, the episode The Bend in the River.

Awesome stuff! You are definitely a great addition to the Hazzard Net. I'm really low tech and wouldn't have a clue how to do something like that. How long does one take? The details in Luke's eyes are amazing!

Excellent ma'am!!

Looks like we missed a Hobie birthday. Belated happy BD you old Ridge Runner!

I saw this article earlier today and rolled my eyes and scrolled passed it...I have a hard time seeing or thinking of NASCAR without Chevy in it. There has always been Chevys in there. Why would Chevy pull out of NASCAR for? I can see them pulling the Camero out for some reason or another (as them not not selling out the parts as much as listed in the article) but I am sure they'd put in another type of Chevy in it's place. It hasn't always been the Camero. It use to be Monte Carlo and Impala before it came to the Camero. But if the slim chance that Chevy did pull out of NASCAR completely...well I'd be just as loss as my Hendrick boys. I mean what would they drive without a Chevy? I can't see Hendrick in any other manufacturer outside of Chevy. LOL.

I know that this is a very old thread, but it seemed silly to start a new one. I was watching the 1965 movie "The Loved One" earlier, and spotted a familiar face playing the lead. Here's Robert Morse, aka. Dewey Hogg, as Dennis Barlow. The movie's a rather strange yet enjoyable satire on the funeral business in Los Angeles. It dates from two years before "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", the Robert Morse movie which had its title parodied in his Dukes episode, "How to Succeed in Hazzard". In "The Loved One", Robert pulls off a quite convincing English accent throughout, although a brief attempt at what I took to be Scots isn't as good. There's quite a list of well-known co-stars, including Rod Steiger, Milton Berle, James Coburn, Sir John Gielgud, Roddy McDowall and a cameo for Liberace as a casket salesman. Additionally, Lionel "When they met...it was moider" Stander plays a newspaper staff writer masquerading as an advice guru, and Paul Williams (Little Enos in SATB) gets his first acting role as a boy genius rocket maker, despite being in his mid-20s at the time.

Happy Birthday Sheriff Little(Don Pedro Colley)!
