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!'.

All right. Garrett is in. It wouldn't be a Moonshine 400 without Garrett. If we don't get confirmation from MM we are just putting her in Rosco's patrol car and we'll put Hoss in an orange F1 car.

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!

Let's all remember, it's the MoonShine 400 ( not like Daytona 500, Charlotte 500 etc. ) because we who started the race, can't stay sober long enough to make 500 laps! It's ok though. We have a lot of fun racing people we know and it's mainly a Hazzard County thing, so we don't have to worry about outsiders crashing the party!! I hope everyone has had a great day. Remember, it's DOH day!! * * Happy DOHD everybody! ( Fridays are always Dukes Of Hazzard Day!)

Looks like a 1975/76 Plymouth Fury, like some of the patrol cars.

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 heard John Schneider on the General's P.A. system, driving through town, a few years ago. This guy here in Sparta owns a General and they seem to be buddies!

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."

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?

Excellent idea! Except the Moonshine Mauler has some other ideas!!

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.

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?

It just started....everybody feel free to jump on in and race/challenge who you want ( real or fictional) .....it all counts in Hazzard!) and you can even challenge or create drivers yourself! ....by the way , Garrett does a great job ( along with Hoss) on keeping up on NASCAR for us! You guys are the bomb!!

I was about to say, you mean your RED motor dirt bike? .....Well The Moonshine 400 is only for cars but as long as it's a RED dirt bike ( it sure looks red to me!) that will be fine! the prize for 1st place is one jug of shine or Buttermilk!

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.

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

The race is over, but it's 11pm here, so I'm off to bed. I'll write my report tomorrow when the highlights video is available. In the meantime, instead of the usual drivers' parade lap on the back of a truck, in Miami they drove round the circuit in full-size 2-seater Lego F1 cars. The drivers all seemed to enjoy it, so we may see it again. You can see today's Lego lap here.

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.

I was told that I should make an off-topic art thread so that I don’t go missing for months so here we are. Recently, it’s all been Alex Winter, his face is just so face and I can’t stop drawing him. If you want to see these as more often, you can go to my twitter @/st33l_horse cause I post stuff as soon as I finish there. Anyways, here’s the first of the batch https://tinyurl.com/hzee6jzh https://tinyurl.com/5ybjju7p https://tinyurl.com/3afsru4d

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

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

Those are pretty good darlin' !! You've got talent!

Rose of Sharon is always a beautiful plant. Been doing a lot of spring cleaning in the past 24 hours, you’d be amazed the stuff you can haul out of storage, that you probably forgot you had! LOL..

Happy Birthday Roger!! I'll be 60 on Aug. 31~~ ( hard to believe!)

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!
