Hey y’all, just thought I’d swing by to tell you I got myself a YouTube channel, feel free to sub up! Thanks! - Tom Duke

The trio correctly identified the square as the filming location of 'The Music Man' and 'The Gilmore Girls' (both already mentioned in this thread), and then Cathy says "and then didn't they film, um, Opie, uh, what's that, not Happy Days, um ...". She never finished the sentence and never mentioned Andy Griffiths, but it's fair to assume that that's what she was referring to as Ron Howard's character was Opie Taylor (and he was in 'Happy Days'). Exteriors for "The Andy Griffith Show" were mainly filmed at the RKO 40 Acres/Desilu backlot in Culver City, about 45 minutes south of the Warner Bros' backlot. I can't find any evidence of Andy Griffith filming in Burbank. The video below shows what's now standing where the backlots were, and mentions several other shows and movies that were filmed there. It also shows the former Desilu Studios in Hollywood. There's a brief Dukes tie-in at around 12:32 when they show a still of James Best from the 1959 movie 'Verboten!'.

Oooo I wanna race the NASCAR 24 car!!! Flames and all!

Rosco was a baaaaaaaaaaaad influence on me.

True. I don't trust Meadowmufn. She's just too good of friends with the Sheriff. Speaking of which, I wonder if Rosco is going to let her drive his car in the Moonshine 400. If she does, ignore the siren. She will probably use it to trick us into slowing down.

I don't think Hoss is human. I think think he's artificial intelligence. No human could be that smart.

Hey this is good stuff! Good deal Tom! ( cousin! )

Anyone on here remember the show Hee Haw? Presented by Buck Owens & Roy Clarke, and featuring a great variety cast and awesome sketch comedy. Back in the good old days when the whole family could gather round the television.. I may just be 23, but discovering the show on YouTube and then finding a channel that airs reruns in Canada really got me onto it!

65 yesterday!

And we need people like Tom to keep the Hazzard tradition alive long after we are up in Hazzard Heaven. That is why we are so excited to have you here Tom....well, that and you are so cool.

I hope you had a great birthday Tom. You are an amazing young man and we are thankful you are a member of our family.

Happy birthday!

There was definitely more overtaking this week at the Bahrain Grand Prix. The McLarens were quickest in practice, and Oscar Piastri put his on pole for the race. Lando Norris wasn't as comfortable in his McLaren and only qualified sixth. Max Verstappen was also unhappy with his Red Bull and started seventh. Oscar led the whole race to take his fourth F1 victory. George Russell got his Mercedes up to second at the start and managed to keep the place until the end, although at the moment he's under investigation for a technical infringement. Despite at 5-second penalty for being out of position on the grid, Lando moved up from sixth to finish third. He was followed home by the two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Ferrari had an upgraded car this weekend, but Charles said it wouldn't show much improvement in this race due to the nature of the track. Max got past the Alpine of a fast Pierre Gasly on the last lap. Haas got both of their cars home in the top ten with Esteban Ocon in eighth and Oliver Bearman in tenth. Between them in ninth was Yuki Tsunoda in the second red Bull. The race highlights are here. Only a week until the next race in Saudi Arabia.

Happy birthday. I am glad you had a good day.

Thanks y’all, means a lot!

Happy Birthday, Tom.

Speaking of birthdays, y’all I just turned 23 today! (April 12th), it was a fun day. Spent time with family, had an evening drink at my local Boars Nest. A man couldn’t be happier! - Tom Duke

If you haven't noticed, we have a new clubs section. There's a Boar's Nest there, created by @Tom Duke. Stop on by and pull up a chair.

Thanks for joining up guys, everyone’s welcome at The Boars Nest! Yep, Thursday nights are wings, Friday/Saturday are karaoke. As Boss might say, a dollar a day keeps the riff raff away lol. 😂 but seriously y’all, thanks for joining!

Nice. Thursday is wing night. As I type this it's 25 minutes until it's Friday so I'd better start eating.

Well, it's racing time here in Hazzard, but of course it's ALWAYS racing time in Hazzard Co. The Moonshine Mauler is the favored winner this year, because of it's super charged engine and Hobie is the driver! There ARE some other racers though, who plan to give Hartkins a run for his money!

That would be so awesome to hear! I remember watching a race back in Gordon/Johnson was racing . . . they were at Atlanta and John Schneider was the Grand Marshall. I got super excited. He needs to do it again. HA.

I saw Kyle Petty on his motorcycle charity ride several/many years ago. I thought I saw him...wasn't sure. LOL. It was interesting.

Uncle Jesse and Daisy were following behind in Dixie. Jesse saw what was going on and got on the CB. "Now boys, you have two witnesses back here that you weren't speeding. Now, don't git any ideas and take off. If his lights go on just pull on over and I'll take care of 'ol Rosco."

Okay but it has to have wheels. You pulling it with something? That's 3. If other people don't enter we should enter them anyways and then to punish them for not participating we'll just give them flat tires early in the race!

LOL! That's great! I can't say much about Meadow though....she's a FINE young lady.....!!! .....although she does need to be careful about hanging out with Rosco! You know what mama always said, you're a reflection of the company you keep!

Excellent idea picking a vehicle....or excellent idea losing to me?

I'm guessing we are going to have a pretty diverse group of race vehicles.....just like Mario Kart. I love that game. Sorry I'm out of reactions Hobie or I'd be giving you lots of likes.

I like the way you think Mr. Race Commissioner. I think we should take a week before the race starts to make sure everybody has described their vehicle. And to make sure that everybody who wants to enter and lose to me has time to do so.

They don't HAVE to be red! .....But they all ARE red! LOL! Dirt bikes, cars, ....whatever....This IS Hazzard County.....they do things different here! * * Another example of nobody has to explain anything to anybody around here! Everybody knows the quote I'm referring to ....!! ( This is ONE of the qualities that makes Hazzard so great!)

True. Probably even less than the robot.

So, how does this work Hobie, can I enter a dirtbike, Hoss enter an F1 car, Garrett enter a NASCAR #24 car? ETC ETC? Can Skipper enter the SS Minnow or does it have to be on wheels, like maybe a flatbed semi pulling the SS Minnow? Can we pick our own colors or do they have to all be red because you can't see any other color?

Just had a fun idea. Start a Moonshine 400 thread. It can be like Mario Kart and you can make any imaginary vehicle you want. Then after everyone has a vehicle in place we'll take turn posting race action, one post at a time.....like a role play. It will be total chaos....just like Hazzard County. I'll start it if you don't want to.

Is that the same car that got the vapors and stalled out before the first turn last year? It was green but as I recall it looked red to you. Can I enter my green Kawasaki dirt bike? It will probably look red to you also.

I'll be glad when it's time for the Moonshine 400! I've got my car, the " Moonshine Mauler" ready to go!

Yes, James Cavan played both characters, although he was uncredited in 'Enos's Last Chance'. It was quite common for actors to return to Dukes as a different character (I counted over 60 occurrences), but this case was slightly unusual as the episodes were so close together. Another oddity in the casting of 'Enos's Last Chance' is that while it was about Scanlon, a master of disguise who could change identity, they used a different actor to play his salesman alter ego rather than just changing his makeup/wig.

Please do not post the same thing in multiple topics. Pick the topic best suited for your post and post it there. Duplicate posts just make the forums messy and harder to find things. I don't know about @HossC, but I hate cleaning.

I'd rather spend my time on HazzardNet doing something more fun.

Yes, it's been mentioned a few times including here.

The Dale Earnhardt Chevy just sold for $11,200.

Newest one! https://tinyurl.com/2p9wdcbm Also includes this because I thought the toy looked like him https://tinyurl.com/3jzmc2rs

Happy Easter Boss!! ( from your favorite town drunk....lol....not really... )

Happy Easter to all my cousins in Hazzard County!

The original DeLoreans were manufactured in Northern Ireland, and only about 9,000 were made before the company went bankrupt. The company that now owns the name is the DeLorean Motor Company in Humble, TX. They acquired the remaining parts inventory and now supply parts and do restorations. Back in 2022, they announced a new electric car called the Alpha5, which is also designed by Italdesign Giugiaro, and shares some styling cues with the original DMC-12. It doesn't seem to have made it into production yet. A British company called Electrogenic produce an EV conversion kit for the DMC-12 which offers 150 miles of range and a 0-60 time of under 5 seconds. Back to the game: Rough

The General was always portrayed as a '69 Charger (denoted by the grille and tail lights), but both '68 and '69 Chargers were used, and the junkyard owner in 'Happy Birthday, General Lee' mistakenly referred to the car that became the General as a "black '68 coupe".

Car reviewer Doug DeMuro's latest video is about a 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt Edition which also comes with a few extra Dale Earnhardt goodies. With only 4,300 miles from new, it's currently for sale on his carsandbids.com site. Don't worry Garrett, a year later Chevy made a Jeff Gordon Edition. I found a load of pictures of that here, so you'll know what to look for.

This is an excellent club......but you boys better remember.....they have a dollar cover charge to keep out the Riff Raff!! ( I never DID see anybody collecting the cover charge money! LOL !! )

Wow! Good for him. Everybody has different tastes in different episodes but we all share the common bond of loving the Dukes so much and that's all that matters. Just the thought of Bo and Luke being dead caused me to be a little down on that episode. I guess I was just too emotionally attached to them at the time that ep aired. It was painful to see the pain of the folks who thought they were dead. I also didn't like eps where Bo and Luke fought each other (even if it was just words). Even though you know they'll be fine at the end it just isn't as fun as fighting with Boss, Rosco and the bad guys who are in town for one ep.

Roger....you mean you didn't even think it had a GHOST of a chance? LOL! Personally one of, if not my VERY fav. is Two Too Many Roscoes! That one and Ghost show just how talented an actor Jimmy was!

I don't know about you folks but I'm sure missing Garrett. It's been two weeks now. Must be watching too many Cubs games.
