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!

I've just spent the evening at a bar (very unusual for me) listening to a couple of local guys playing live music on acoustic guitars. It was a good mix of traditional Irish songs and old favorites. What surprised me was the number of Americans at the bar. The first people I spoke to were from just across the Indiana border from Chicago, but there were three groups from California (Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles), one from Seattle and another from Florida. I know where I live is a popular tourist destination, but I rarely get to speak to the visitors.

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

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:

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.

EXCELLENT!! Irish women are the best!! * Well hopefully I'll be back home at this time tomorrow, if the doctor decides to let me go. If not.....it will be sometime Wednesday! .....hopefully! So if you don't see me on here for a while you'll know where I'm at! Healing up/sleeping it off/drugged up etc.!

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.

Shhhhhh!

(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!" 😂

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 late birthday wish Sonny! AND Happy Birthday Lulu Shroyer!! * * Get it.....????

Hot......good to see you Val! Don't be a stranger cousin!

I did the '05 movie car Pre Cooter with O1 and no General Lee or flag and the '05 Post Cooter with 01 General Lee Confederate Flag. I did the '79-'85 series cars too in 3D fan art. GA with crossed flags in the back and CA without them and the Happy Birthday General Lee Black car. I even did the Repo Men Lee 1 the Blue Green #71 car.

Get ready for some serious car art skills! I can draw the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard in 3D! I show the entire car from all angles - left, right, top, front, and back. My secret technique? Starting with the iconic flag rectangle on the roof and building the rest of the car from there. Who else loves the General Lee? Share your favorite Dukes of Hazzard memories! #DukesOfHazzard #GeneralLee #CarArt #3Ddrawing

You could Google it to get more info.

I've heard that. How much are they worth?

Sending prayers her way.

Well I know I'm late for DOHD, but better late than never. I was sleeping and didn't make the official holiday. I've been tired lately. I think it's part of my Hernia situation. ( Which hopefully will be over after sept. 3!) They say fatigue is part of it. Anyway, I hope everybody had a great DOHD!!

I've just watched that scene about a dozen times and I'm not convinced by this one. Luke and Bo look over their shoulders when they first hear the siren. Luke then looks straight ahead and gradually turns toward Bo as he's talking. When he says "diamonds", he very briefly looks straight ahead before turning to look over his shoulder again. Bo has a couple of quick sideways looks, but I don't think any of Luke's glances are toward an imaginary door mirror.

Well spotted, Webb. You seem to have a slightly wider frame than I do as my copy only extends to the lamp. Jimmie was probably meant to stop a foot or two further back when then set up the shot. There are a few other scenes in this episode that were obviously filmed in a studio. I can see a corner in the scenery in one shot, but no edges like you spotted. I noticed something else in the Boar's Nest scene. When Bo sneaks into the back of Rosco's patrol car, the driver's seat is all the way back, so there's hardly room for Bo to get his legs in. We can see the seat in this position as Rosco drives off, but we can't see Bo. When we do see Bo, he's got his whole body between the front and rear seats, so the driver's seat must be about six inches forward. I'm sure Rosco would notice that much movement - I know I would!

True!!.....of course now......it's closer to 50, but that' s ok...cars don't die! ( Batteries die, so why don't cars?- remember?)

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.

I'd like to give a step by step of how I work except I really don't know. I just grab a photo, color pick it, put on a playlist and go for it. I mostly do actors/musicians I like...I would share them but idk if it'd be allowed considering they aren't quite on topic. I tried vector art once when I was in school, it looks great I think, but it's so tedious for me, I just get mad halfway through and forget about it.

Happy 83rd birthday today Cooter. I see you are having a birthday bash at one of your Dukes locations. Have fun. We love you buddy. You might be crazy but you ain't dumb! I just looked up the date I met Cooter. It was a car show in Erie PA on 10-23-82. It was the 30th birthday of his wife (not Alma) and she was with him.

I was just looking up Big Ed. He was born in Klamath Falls Oregon and that is where he died. (1938-2017). There's a song "Everybody dies famous in a small town" but he really was famous....acted in a lot of things. We miss you Big Ed. Happy birthday today in Hazzard Heaven!

That is great Meadowmuffin! Thank you for sharing that!

I hope this isn't true. It's unimaginable to think of NASCAR without Chevy.

I see you dug up an old JulieDuke thread....24,000 posts. I miss her.

Thanks for posting this Hoss and thanks for bringing up something from Julie.

Happy late Birthday Sheriff Little! ( Mine was on the 31st, so me and you and Cooter are right in there together!)

Happy Birthday Sheriff Little(Don Pedro Colley)!
