  1. This thread is to compile a list of real things that the actors used and put on the show and made them into Hazzard County things.

    1)For example, in his book "Redneck Boy in the Promised Land" Ben Jones mentioned (page 33 and 65) that him and his Uncle worked for a mechanic named Stump Rountree when he was a young man living in Virginia. Stump Rountree was an unseen character that was mentioned on the episode "The Canterbury Crock"

    2) Hard Labor Creek (page 154 of the same book) was mentioned in "Dukescam Scam"

    3) Rosey Walker (page 232) is from "Enos and Daisy's Wedding"

    4) Peach Tree Road (page 177) is from "Heiress Daisy Duke"

    5) Jim Bronke was an attorney whose named appeared numerous times on the sign in front of the courthouse. It first appeared on "The Big Heist". In reality, Mr. Bronke was a friend of someone who worked on the show (a stage manager I think)

    6) Enos's Uncle Odie (unseen on the show but mentioned by Enos on "Enos in Trouble") was really Sonny Shroyer's way of mentioning his real-life father, Odie Shroyer

    Can anybody else think of any more? I bet there's a lot.

  2. Hey daisyxenos, you wouldn't be breaking your resolution if you bought your Dad a birthday present or even if you bought yourself one. Don't make your resolution too unrealisticly difficult.

  3. Hey dukefan, I don't mean to brag (okay so maybe I like to brag just a little on a rare occasion) but my 2 trivia threads now have 65,000 views.

    However, with this thread, you have just started something that will be even more popular than that! What a great idea!!!!

    I agree with everybody else about the answer.

  4. Of course nobody likes the cheap mini model cars jumping....but look at it this way. The show was in danger of going off the air and I would guess didn't have much money to work with. It would have been much worse if they would have ended it after 6 seasons and not had the seventh. I'd rather have a season 7 with bad stunts than no season 7 at all.

  5. I remember I was at a school bus garage near Buffalo New York back in the early 80's. A guy who worked there had a black 1969 Charger in the parking lot (and he owned 2 more) so I struck up a conversation with him. He said he liked the Dukes of Hazzard but he wasn't a big fan. He wasn't happy that the number of cars they used on the show was driving up the price of used parts because the show was buying up cars all over the country. I told him I couldn't believe that they were buying up cars from this part of the country, after all, we were a long way from Hollywood. To my surprise, he pulled out the local newspaper, opened the classifieds and proved it!!!

  6. dukefan, I'm about the same distance from Cleveland, Buffalo and Pittsburgh. They are all on Eastern Standard Time along with the rest of the eastern United States. I think HazzardNet's time goes by the time of the International Date Line. If not, it's Greenwich Mean Time or something like that. On second thought, it couldn't be GMT because it wouldn't be 8 hours off from me. Oh well, I'm sure somebody will set us straight.

  7. You're right Kay, I can think of better plot ideas than "Strange Visitor to Hazzard"

    Let me try to be positive here and word it like this.

    Instead of saying it's my least favorite episode I will say that it is at the bottom of my favorite episode list.

    There were a lot of good episodes in season 7 though. My 3 favorites are

    Happy Birthday General Lee

    Welcome Waylon Jennings

    Go West, Young Dukes

  8. I was pretty sad to see how different the Boar's Nest looked when Ben Jones and Sonny Shroyer visited it on the special features on one of the series DVDs (I'm not sure which season that was, does anybody know?)

    Well, I guess it could be worse. Imagine how terrible it would have been if it would have been torn down to build a housing development or something like that.

    I'm wondering if Dukes tourists go to church services there just for the opportunity to step inside the building.

  9. Right B.L. Boss's cousin is Big Dan Hogg.

    Hey dukefan1, I'm thrilled that someone else is asking a question. Not that I mind being the one asking all the time but I always love it when someone else posts a question. I wish it would happen more often. It spices this thread up a little. I hope you have a bunch more.

    I'm not entirely sure of the answer. I think it's moonshine but I seem to remember that he calls it by a different name. Let's see what other people think. Bo tricked her by drinking water.

  10. Well Garrett the bad news is that you've been lazy but the good news is that you're still in the contest. The way you worded your resolution gives you a big advantage of being able to judge your progress over the long term. At the end of March (for example, you pick the month) if you feel like you haven't made progress and aren't GOING to make progress you can count yourself out. Remember, this is the honor system. Be honest with yourself.
