Had me laughing on that one....That was good Brian......

MaryAnne I have to thank you now. I have to take out my cars and inspect them . It also gives me a good excuse to start cleaning my closet out now. Now doesn't it want you to find out how many variations of the early die cast vehicles there are? I never knew there were different manufactuer countries for these. It does make it very interesting now. I have die cast vehicles from the movie Cannonball Run - Burt Reynolds, that name seems to keep popping up somehow.LOL. I took them to a store by me that sells die cast cars and racing collectables. The guy there said he never seen them and couldn't get me a value , thery were not listed in any of his guides. Maybe he was too busy to really look. I don't know. It seems the early 70's-80's die cast, other than matchbox and hot wheels, didn't really have collectable value til recently. Maybe we will find out soon....I can't find the magazine I posted earlier, Die-Cast Digest. My Border's or B & N usually carry it, but haven't found it at either. The collectable shop I talked used to carry it, but the guy who had the shop moved to FLA...I am trying Darrell

I got some good stuff at car shows too. Actually at Carlisle , PA mostly. Haven't been there in about 5 years though You can find anything automotive related there. YEEEHAAAWWWW... I picked an original ERTL die cast from 81? . I think it is 1/24th, doesn't say on the box, but looks to be that size. But I got a great deal on it and hadn't seen it before. Then ertl started making the 1/24th and 1/18th scale again.... Darrell

MaryAnne Nice car......I have always liked that body style on the Firebird/ T/A...Is that a red stripe along the middle of the body? Here's a typical Hazzard style question....what have you gotten it up to? Darrell

I have to agree that was funny. I ended up printing it out so I can read it when I feel... Have y'all thought about havin' a public meeting so us Hazzardites can attend? It will be in the backroom of the Boar's Nest right? I will but the watered down beer for everyone..... Darrell

Hey Y'all Just wanted to start this and see what everyone has collected on the Dukes. What is your favorite piece of memorbilia ? What are you looking for? ...maybe stuff like that... Maybe , if the mods allow , we can start a topic to trade collectables....PLEASE Darrell

R.J. Great , you finally got the DVD's....How do you like them? ..The TV movies would be great on DVD, just hoping they will put them sometime.I think the first reunion movie is available on video. Darrell

I had to bump this back up since I just finished watching the the DVD set... I haven't seen a lot these episodes in a long time. I ma glad they sis the preview before the opening credits, I was thinking they wouldn't do that. I don't have any of the video tapes so I can't compare them. My family has enjoyed watching them together . We usually have a night when we just watch an episode, like it was on regular TV again. I got my 21 month old son going around YYYYEEEEEHHAAAAA.. He does it everytime he hears it on the show. I loved the extras. The BBQ actually got me a little misty, seeing all of them , especially Peggy Rea. That was a nice surprise. Now why on earth would CBS or whoever NOT have put this or something like it on TV. They have had cast reunion shows , Andy Griffith, Carol Burnett, Dick Van Dyke that have gotten huge ratings. The Dukes , in my opinion, would get huge ratings also. I had to rant about that. I like the fancy way of writing the DOH they used on the BBQ. I noticed it on the new calendar too...How long has that writing been around??? I have read that the DVD has been a very big seller since it was released, where I totally forgot and I'm sorry about that...I can't wait for the second season and for the rest of the seasons.. Darrell

I see on Cooter's website , Cooter , his band aand the General Lee will be in Bucks Co, Pa pn Oct 9... I am going to try and make it over there. It is about a 3 -3 1/2 drive from LI to there, but it si the closest he is coming my way. I have to find out abut my wifes work schedule first. So I will try Darrell

Dan. ..Great perspective on the General Lee. Let's just hope someone associated with the movie will look at it that way. I know this has been referenced numerous times on other posts, but look at the Starsky & Hutch movie, they used the car that is familiar to the original TV show. That car, a Ford Torino, was a part of the series as much as the characters. I feel the same about the General Lee, it is apart of the show as recognizable as the rest of the cast. Back when it was on and when TNN was showing it , but I don't recall any backlash from civil rights groups about the car being offensive, I was a little kid when it was originally on. Other than what has been cast , has there been any definate plans for the General Lee yet? Darrell

Just a big thank you to eveybody who's effrts helped save this board. MaryAnne, Medowmufn, Brian and hostingmatters.com ....I send out a big YEEEAHAAAAAA to all of them...... Darrell

Cool that this list made it back on somehow....

Watching the episodes with Lulu were great and fun , maybe they could have used her more. Darrell

Great to see someone making thier way back.... Tempest66 "I've found this forum to be warm, inviting, and full of really down home good people! I'm thankful to have the pleasure of chattin to y'all!!" I don't think anyone could have said it any better than that.... Darrell

Hey all Just wanted to say I am glad to be back here. It is great to see the forum up and running again. Have to give a big thanks for the updates on the main page. That was great and very appreciated...WE lost a lot of good topics and posts because of some stupid idiot....my apologies for getting mad like that. Y'all think you can get rid of me that easily....LOL Now I gotta get my posts up again...LOL Darrell

Catherine Bach will be on teh Emmy Awards on Sunday night. I don't know if she is presenteing an award or just as a guest. Darrell

Alright everyone ...Catherine Bach will be at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night. It will be great to see her out like that Darrell

Tempest 66 Have you ever checked the magazine Die-Cast Digest for the value on the cars? That is a good magaize with a detailed list with values in it. I am not sure if the General Lee's you have would be in there , but it may be worth checking out. I have never seen the stuffed Flash . That sounds cool. Hope your collecting goes well for ya... Let me know about the cars if you find a value for them. Darrell

MaryAnne Thanks . I have to take out the book and reread some of it now. LOL . I forgot about the errors with the cars. Unfortunately it is the only book on the series that is available. Hopefully they will update and correct the mistakes , maybe it is wishful thinking on my part. Darrell

MaryAnne. Thank you for the rules..I am sorry I posted that link. I didn't even think of using the PM system to send it. Like I said I don't want to be over steppin' my bounds....Once again my apologies for doing that . Now will you take me to the Hazzard County Jail cuffed?? Darrell

The first 5 episodes were filmed in Georgia and have more of that "down home" feel towards them...In my opinion they were the best of the show. The language was bit more risque than in later episodes and seasons. This is the way I wish the movie would be made. Wasn't it fun seeing the Torino from Starskt & Hutch and talking about driving like Burt Reynolds .... Darrell

Just wanted to let everyone know Catherine Bach was interviewed on the tv show " The Insider" , an Entertainment Tonight spinoff....She talkes about Jessica Simpson and the Emmy's.. Here is the link... http://insider.tv.yahoo.com/celeb/2004/09/17/catherinebachinterview/ Darrell

I just saw Catherine Bach on the TV show "The Insider" , it's an Entertainment Tonight spinoff....She talked about about Jessica Simpson and going to the Emmy's... Here is the link.... http://insider.tv.yahoo.com/celeb/2004/09/17/catherinebachinterview/ Darrell

I saw that tour also at Jones Beach , LI,NY .I love Ted, speaks his mind and doesn't matter if he poltically correct or not. He was loud....Deep Purple were great, that was th first time I heve ever seen them live...Skynyrd was just awesome that night ....I was in shock when I heard Leon pased away, just seen him like a month earlier. That is another sad day in Skynyrd's history... Darrell

Brian I would like to see the book updated when and if the movie comes out to at least include it up to it...It can be updated with cast pictures , maybe some trivia, maybe updates on the cast of the original series, or commentaries from them... They did that with the Beverly Hillbillies book. It came out and then when they did the movie in the mid 90's , they re-published the book with updates and to include the movie. I am hoping something like that happens. I think it is a good book, since it is the only one like it about the DOH. I also like your ideas of the fandom aspect. Maybe someone(publishers) will see that there is a market for continuing stories of a popular show. There are tons of books like that, StarTrek , Star Wars, etc. come to mind. All in all, I still think we are lucky to have at least one book on our favorite show. Well enough of my rambling now.... Darrell
