As far as I’m concerned, Dukes will always be one of the best family tv shows that ever aired, and let me say, I’m not a dad right now but I hope to be someday, and I want to share the love of Hazzard County with my kids, whether I have good ol boys or good ol girls, Hazzard is for everyone!

Well I just got back from a visit to the best little spot in our county, my local Boars Nest. Awfully quiet for a Sunday though.

Will you be including Swamp Molly in this list?

If you're shopping Amazon for Black Friday deals, here's a link straight to their deals page. (I may earn a commission on items purchased through this link at no extra cost to you.)

Well, I got laid off due to a client bankruptcy and the tech sector job market is pretty terrible right now. Gotta make some money and keep HazzardNet running somehow.

if Santa Drove the General Lee, by Scott Innes This is the only one I found, share any others you may know.

Black Friday makes even less sense over here because we don't have Thanksgiving. I think the madness of a few years ago has gone now. The electrical shops had a few reduced items which I'm sure they bought in specially, and several clothes shops had 20% off certain lines, but no massive bargains or fights.

Rosco's radar gun was a HAIR dryer.

I want to apologize for my swearing, I tried to censor myself best I could, but you can only be so polite when angry. I would also like to apologize for dumping all of this on you without posting much, I just wasn't sure where else to post it, people don't really interact with me much anywhere else And I want to thank all of you for your kind words. I understand that not much can help in a random forum I found, but sometimes just seeing a reply notification can help loads

I obviously hear so many US voices that I don't really notice the difference in pronunciation with the name George. I saw some short videos yesterday of young Americans returning to the US after brief visits to Europe, and the most important thing they could find to say was that in "The Land of the Free" they could remove the caps from their soda bottles. For the last couple of years our plastic soda and water bottles have had caps which remain tethered to the bottles so the whole lot can get recycled. In Ireland we also pay a deposit on each bottle (15c or 25c depending on size) which we get back when they are returned to a store for recycling. The caps can still be separated easily if it's really too much to deal with, but you get used to them pretty quickly. I find it particularly odd that this should be such an issue for young Americans since when I visited the US in the early 80s you guys had soda cans with ring pulls which stayed attached while on our cans they were still separate and were often just thrown away! This video is now two years old, but the comparison of food prices and availability is still valid. The lady in the video spends six months of the year in the UK and six months in Texas, and the comparison is between Tesco in the UK and Kroger in the US.

I DO have a degree in Psychology but like Roger said, it's hard to help over the computer. We are......nevertheless, here for you/with you!

Wow! That is a lot....and none of it good. We care about you and are concerned, but I'm sure you know there is only so much we can do on forums like these. It sure sounds like you need more help than internet friends can provide so I suggest you reach out to local organizations that can help. If you don't know where to go maybe you can contact your county health department and they can point you in the right direction. Churches also can offer help but if you aren't inclined to go that route I understand. We have all been at low points in our lives and talking about it is always the most important step to get better and that means face to face counseling with someone who is trained to help. Please seek out a person like that and keep us updated.

Brings back great memories! Here's the vid from vlogger JD Joyrides where he's talking to me and my buddy at 1:57 min.

Here's the Styx video to make it easier for people to check it out: I'm English, but living in Ireland. The comment is from YouTube.

Here's something a bit different - some Irish indie folk music. I don't think I'd heard of Kingfishr a year ago, but yesterday the radio station I listen to announced this as their listeners' song of the year. Killeagh (pronounced 'Killa') is the hurling team that one of the band members once played for. He said he'd write them a song if they made it to the final, and they did. The top comment on YouTube says "This makes me proud to be Irish, which is weird since I am Norwegian".

Right on Tom !! You are a real cousin here in Hazzard! What you just said, proves you have the right heart of a Hazzard citizen!

With Cooter’s Last Stand having happened, are events still a regular occurrence? Someone needs to keep this going for generations to come, Hazzard will be forever.

Embolism why did Catherine Bach have to go to the hospital? Catherine Bach was hospitalized due to an embolism, which is a blockage in a blood vessel, likely resulting from a recent surgery. Her hospitalization was an emergency, and her co-stars have been supportive, sharing their prayers and updates. The embolism is a known complication that can develop after surgery, but it is treatable with proper medical care. Bach's condition has been a concern for fans, but her co-stars have reassured her family that she is in good hands and will recover soon

It’s an awesome spot man, it’s got it all, the food, the cold beer.. even got pool tables, jukebox too.

Well, you guys know Friday night was when TDOH came on TV and every Friday is DOHD ( Dukes Of Hazzard Day) , an international holiday! Well, as Hobie, I'm going to do my part celebrating, by buying some Jack Daniels and pretending it's some of Jesse's Finest! Then I'll come back here to the house and watch several episodes, while imbibing! ( wooo! Imbibing !! That's a big word! .....I'm glad I've got my college boy learning or I'd never even know what that word means! LOL! ) ......When I use more the 2 syllables a word, I'm tripping in tall cotton, so you guys watch out for me!

We need one of those where I live!

I loved the earliest episodes the best when Rosco was still a little serious, but you can't help but love the goofball he was later, too.

+ 1 !!

Well I just got done watching the evening news for the first time in a while, and it makes me nostalgic for the days when tv stations would sign off after prime time shows. Bring it back y’all, we live in an age of information overload, and even though I’m apart of the techy Gen Z generation, I honestly long for simpler days. That’s why we bought a vintage 70s landline phone for our house phone, I’m sick of too much tech. Why don’t kids get off the stuff and play outside in the mud and drink water from a hose again?

I double-checked before posting my reply above, and every source I found said it sank on the 15th. The iceberg hit was late on the 14th.

The Titanic left Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland on April 11th, 1912, hit the iceberg just before midnight on the 14th, and sank on the 15th. BTW. Cobh is pronounced like "cove".

And still the second prettiest girl in Hazzard after that hottie who always says "Take a number"

It's almost impossible to think......She's 71 yrs. old!!

Well, that's F1 over for 2025. The top three got off the line in order, but Oscar Piastri overtook Lando Norris on lap 1. McLaren split their tire strategy with Oscar on hards and Lando on mediums. George Russell lost a couple of places at the start which let Charles Leclerc pressure Lando in the early laps. Lando and Charles made pit stops on lap 17, and Lando proceeded to overtake four cars in the next two laps. On lap 23, Lando caught Max's team mate Yuki Tsunoda, who attempted to slow Lando a little. In the end, Yuki forced Lando off the track by making an illegal double move under braking and earned himself a 5-second penalty. Lando and Charles made a second pit stop on laps 41 and 40 respectively, which was a lap before Oscar made his only pit stop. In the closing laps, Lando was catching Oscar, but his team told him to ease off and not take unnecessary risks. At the flag it was Max first, Oscar second and Lando third, which was enough for Lando to take his first F1 championship. McLaren boss Zak Brown came on the radio on the slowdown lap to say, "Lando, this is Zak from McLaren. Is this the World Champion hotline?". Lando finished the year with 423 points to Max's 421 and Oscar's 410. It's McLaren's first drivers' championship since Lewis Hamilton won in 2008. Speaking of Lewis, after a poor qualifying, he had much better Sunday finishing eighth in the race and sixth in the championship, although it's his first F1 season without a podium finish in one of the main races. You can see the race highlights here. McLaren won the constructors' championship a while ago and finished on 833 points. Behind them, Mercedes were second with 469, Red Bull were third with 451 and Ferrari fourth with 398.

I tried to edit this thing but it wouldn't let me. When I clicked on it and pasted it , I found out it's trying to send you to another app. ( Parade ?) and so DO NOT CLICK ON THIS!! I'm sorry I didn't know until I had it up!

That's my Christmas list sorted!

Butter all the way! ( You can keep the raw liver!)

I’ve never tried them with mayonnaise before but suppose there’s a first time for everything, talkin bout cuisine kinda got me to thinkin, wonder what Boss’s raw liver and black coffee tasted like.

Maybe I’m an old fashioned sort, but to me nothing like Sunday meetings, we have a fine old church here with some of the prettiest stained glass windows, and pews that have probably been there 100 years or more. I’ll share some pics if anyone’s interested in seeing it, it’s a fine place.

Apologies for my late review of the Qatar Grand Prix. Lando Norris went into the weekend needing to outscore his rivals by two points to clinch the championship. In the sprint race, Oscar Piastri took pole ahead of George Russell and Lando Norris. Max Verstappen started a couple of place back in sixth. The top three finished in grid order, but Max made it up to fourth. You can see the highlights here. For the main race, Oscar took pole again, but Lando was close behind and Max was in third. There was a rule for this race that tires could do no more than 25 laps, so everyone had to do at least two pit stops. When Nico Hulkenberg and Pierre Gasly came together on lap 7, the safety car came out. Max pitted along with most of the rest of the field, but the McLarens stayed out. That gave them an uphill struggle for the rest of the race. At the flag, Max won with Oscar behind. Lando passed Kimi Antonelli on the last last to take fourth behind Carlos Sainz. Due to a radio message from Red Bull suggesting that Kimi let Lando past, some idiots sent Kimi death threats. Red Bull have since apologised to Kimi and Mercedes, and have accepted that Kimi just went wide. You can see the race highlights here. The final race of the season is this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Lando still leads the championship, but now by only 12 points from Max in second with Oscar four points further back. Any of the three could still win.

I believe this is from "Dukes in Danger"

Oh no. So sorry to hear that.

Recently, I've been watching a lot of "Americans React to" videos on YouTube. In the ones I watch they're mainly reacting to British/Irish TV shows and stand-ups, but a few are more general videos looking at the differences between us, i.e. two nations divided by a common language. It appears that while the Brits and Irish have been consuming US TV shows (Dukes included) and cultural reference points for decades, the exchange doesn't get far in the opposite direction. Many British TV shows just get remade for the US market with widely varying results. Sometimes it seems that only Peppa Pig is flying the flag! The result appears to be that British/Irish TV shows and culture often leave Americans baffled with phrases which simply haven't crossed to the US. I thought I'd post some of the source videos, with this first one just being about how we say and use numbers differently (and it doesn't even mention Americans writing dates the wrong way around! ). Look out for a brief Dukes reference about 2/3 of the way through. BTW. To count seconds I was taught to say "a thousand and one, a thousand and two" etc. I've also heard of the "one Mississippi, two Mississippi" method, but none of the others in this video.

Here's a little reminder of Tom in 'Blackadder'. For anyone unfamiliar with Edmund Blackadder, you may know Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean.

This is awesome Zech. Thanks for sharing it. I hope John Schneider saw it!

The British haven't always been welcome visitors around the world, but here's a video listing just some of the inventions and discoveries they've produced. There are a few controversial points included, but most a clarified at the end. The title is a play on a Monty Python sketch (something else the British gave to the world) of which a small clip is included near the beginning.

There's an old thread where people re-wrote Christmas songs with "Duke-ified" lyrics.

I went through a rough time 2 years ago when my daughter was killed and posted about it here. I knew it would depress folks but I also knew they cared enough that they wanted me to cry on their shoulders. People here genuinely care so go ahead and vent anytime, so long as you realize there is only so much we can do. You are a Dukes fan and we are family because of it. If anybody here gets tired of you venting (I doubt that will happen) they can simply stop reading this thread. BTW to you other folks, the guy who killed my daughter just got out of prison after service 6 months for vehicular manslaughter.

Yes, we all miss Garrett! Hey bud! I hope you see this and come back soon! ( I sure hope nothing bad has happened!)

TDOH was one of the GREATEST shows on TV!

The FIRST 5 were FILMED in Georgia

I've never bought anything on the internet but my wife has bought things for me before. It's amazing what you can buy there. What was Rosco's Mama's quote? "You mean you got a girl out of a machine? Lordy, what will they think of next?"

Daniel CURRIE played Homer Sneed Here in Ireland, Bosco was a children's TV show which was on at around the same time as Dukes (1979-1987 for Bosco). I wasn't in the country when it aired, but a lot of people my age remember it fondly.
