  1. Of course, Boss only realized he was the boys' probation officer in 'People's Choice' (S02E11), and by the end of the episode the job was taken by Thelma Claire "T.C." Rogers. It was a strange plotline considering that Ms Rogers was never heard of again.
  2. top (sticking with the cartoon theme)

  4. Hi tripflicky, welcome to HNet. Sorry I missed your post - it must have been stuck in moderation. You're not the first person to ask this question, in fact there was a blog post titled Will “Enos†Series Be Next for DVD? on this very site back in 2011. Like you, I've never seen an episode of 'Enos' - I don't think it was ever shown in the UK. There are a few stills from the show in Roth's Rare and Behind the Scenes Pictures thread, and YouTube has the intro (below), but I'm sure you've seen these already. For anyone who wants to see the episode list, you can find it at imdb.com. I've even tried to find episodes at some of the less legal sites, but still no luck. At least we have all of Dukes available on DVD, they've only just released season 3 of 'CHiPs' on DVD (and so far only in region 1 ) when season 2 came out in 2008. Maybe there's still hope.
  5. Welcome to HNet, airsmitty. I hope you can dig out those pictures and share them here .
  6. I always liked 'Mason Dixon's Girls', although I can't remember why .
  7. Paul Menard was the driver in 12th.
  8. It's been a while since I had a chance to watch all the episodes (over a year!), but I always start at the beginning and go through them in order. There are obviously episodes I like better than others, but I never skip. I'll confess that I've seen some episodes more than others, but that's because I've dug out the DVD to get a screengrab or check a detail, and ended up watching the whole episode/disc. There is a strange exception - the last addition to my Dukes DVD collection was the cartoon series, and I've never watched the last disc. I must remedy this oversight .
  9. While reading Garrett's link about the qualifying debacle, I spotted a sidebar story about Travis Kvapil's Sprint Cup car being stolen from outisde the Georgia hotel where the team were staying - more info here. Then I saw the follow-up story which said that the car had been found without a scratch. The team are taking the car back to their headquarters to check it over before next week's race in Las Vegas, but they'll miss this week's race. A line in the second article caught my eye: The race car was found “dumped†on Lenora Road in Loganville, Ga., about 45 miles northeast of Morrow and due east of Atlanta. Now there's a name that rings a bell. Type "Lenora Road, Loganville, Ga" into Google Maps and you'll end up about 200 yards down the road from where the original Duke Farm once stood. So we're looking for an unknown number of suspects with a possible NASCAR connection, and they're probably known to the local sheriff .
  10. Season 4 seemed to show a few visible phone numbers. I don't remember seeing Cooter's number, but here are three from other threads. In 'Coltrane vs Duke', the old Hazzard Hotel has a "For Lease" sign with the number 555-2359 (it's advertised as a light manufacturing property). In 'The Great Bank Robbery', the "For Lease" number for J D Hogg is 555-4309. In 'The Law and Jesse Duke', J D Hogg's "Hazzard Realty" number is 555-2133.
  11. Welcome to HNet, pkoorse. That quote is from 'One Armed Bandits'. Burt Reynolds also get mentioned in the dialog of a couple of other episodes. In 'Repo Men', as Luke is driving the Rolls Royce away, Cooter asks him, "What do you think Burt Reynolds would do at a time like this?" Luke replies, "I ain't sure, but I know he'd be doing it with somebody a lot prettier than you." This is probably a reference to Burt's Smokey and the Bandit co-star, Sally Field. In 'The Dukes in Hollywood', Boss tries to pitch the idea of 'The J.D. Hogg Story' where he wants the lead to be played by Robert Redford and Rosco wants to be played by Burt Reynolds. Ironically, Burt Reynolds ending up playing Boss Hogg in the the 2005 Dukes movie. As another tie-in, between the first and second Smokey and the Bandit movies, Burt Reynold filmed another movie with Sally Field called 'Hooper' which also starred Jimmie Best as Cully. It's a fun movie about an aging stuntman whose position is challenged when a younger man comes along. Like the first two Smokey and the Bandit movies, and the first two Cannonball Run movies, it was directed by Hal Needham. There's even a brief scene filmed on Midwest Street which you can see in the Hazzard Square thread (third and fourth pictures of the post).

    NASCAR news

    I've just watched a video of Kyle Busch's crash. The infield wall that he hit was quite a long way from the track, but there still should have been something to soften the impact. Racing in lower formulae used to be common for Formula 1 drivers in the early days (double World Champion and Indy 500 winner Jim Clark was killed in Formula Two race in 1968), but nowadays the drivers stick to the main series. NASCAR are in a tricky position with Kurt Busch, and would probably be criticized whatever they did. There aren't many jobs where you'd be suspended while allegations of this nature were investigated, but driving NASCAR isn't a normal job. Because the alleged crime has nothing directly to do with NASCAR, I'd prefer it if Kurt Busch was found guilty of something before he was suspended.
  13. Would a white Lamborghini Countach that turns red be OK if Catherine Bach was in the passenger seat?
  14. Just be aware of Boss's anti-drugs stance. In 'Mason Dixon's Girls' he says, "And even I draw the line on dope and drugs ... for any amount of money."
  15. Sometimes they didn't try too hard . I think this screengrab is from 'High Octane'.
  16. Here goes ... I'd also have a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T (some of the Generals used on the show were R/Ts) 440 Magnum engine (if someone else was paying for my gas ) No chrome on the wheel arches, but I'd keep the chrome vinyl roof trim strip I'd remove the side markers, but keep the reversing lights under the rear bumper Not too bothered about which season lettering, but I'd have the crossed flags between the trunk and rear window The pushbar is a tricky one because I prefer the look of the narrow one, but the wider one seems more sturdy/practical I also like the white letter tires, but I could live without them I'd probably have the tan interior, but the other details like the rollbar don't bother me that much
  17. I think the roof on Boss's Caddy is only seen closed twice. Once in the Atlanta scenes in 'Daisy's Song', and once pulling up in Hazzard Square after the filming moved to California (I can't remember the episode, but I think Cooter was returning the car after fixing something). What I find more interesting is the lack of horns on the hood. The horns were already in place for 'Daisy's Song', so I don't know where this picture came from. The inclusion of Daisy's Jeep means the coloring book must date from mid-season 2 or later (the copyright date is 1981, which would cover up to about halfway through season 4).
  18. Welcome to HNet, Thomas, and thanks for the extra information. Thomas is president of falconcrest.org, a fan site all about the '80s TV show Falcon Crest.
  19. Welcome to HNet, Danacus. I hope you'll be taking a load of pictures on your Dukes tour, and posting some of them when you get back. BTW. In case you're interested, some episode of 'CHiPs' were filmed along the PCH just south of Topanga, and also on Kanan Dume Road just north of Malibu as you head for Westlake Village. In the season 5 (1981) episode 'Weed Wars', the briefing is to "keep up high visibility in Topanga area" as small-time marijuana growers are being pressurized by a bigger drug importer.
