The Chase is the name of an award-winning UK quiz show (apparently a US version has just started on GSN), so it amused me to think of all these drivers competing for a place on the show . The contestants take on one of four "chasers" in a series of questions. In the clip below, from one of the celebrity specials, the possible answers cause a lot of laughter amongst everyone involved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD8szt0oFRQ

The following commercial is getting a re-run on UK TV at the moment. It's actually a commercial to promote the use of TV advertizing. I think the idea is that people remember it because it's a little bit odd (and it's got a very cute dog in it). Harvey & Rabbit: When I looked up the YouTube link, it reminded of the earlier commercial where we first meet Harvey. Every Home Needs a Harvey:

I Googled Bastianich's name to make sure we were talking about the same show . "Chief" and "Chef" both come from the same Old French origin anyway. The later series of Junior MasterChef in the UK have been hosted by one of the regular hosts and one of the previous Celebrity MasterChef winners. The junior version is shown during the afternoon children's TV time slot, so I haven't seen it.

I concur with the selections above, and would like to add Mufn's own The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread - it's packed with obscure info from multiple contributors.

I have to admit, I do watch the UK version of MasterChef. I don't think the US or Italian versions are shown here, although I seem to remember the Australian version in the TV listings. I did a quick Google to find out how the other versions differed, and found it amusing that both incarnations of the US show have been fronted by British chefs (Gary Rhodes and Gordon Ramsey). I say "amusing" because the original British version that started back in 1990 was hosted by Loyd Grossman, who's American. In the UK it's a high profile show that gets slots in primetime (often three nights a week) on one of the main free channels (BBC1). The show has evolved over the years and now includes MasterChef (for amateurs), MasterChef: The Professionals for people already in the business (two-star Michelin chef Michel Roux Jr. becomes a host), Celebrity MasterChef (the finals of the current series are this week), and Junior MasterChef.

I recently posted a picture of Cathy and her daughters in the Rare and Behind the Scenes Pictures of the Dukes of Hazzard thread, but whose son is this?: Photo credit: WENN A) Denver Pyle Waylon Jennings C) Sonny Shroyer D) Sorrell Booke E) Rick Hurst

I've just read that there will be at least one new episode of James May's Toy Stories this Christmas. If you want to know the motorsport-related subject (it's not F1), click here. I don't know if James May's Toy Stories is shown in the US, but the basic premise is that Top Gear presenter James May supersizes kids' toys. Previous episodes include a life-sized model kit of a Spitfire (airplane) and a 10 mile long model railroad track running along the course of a disused railroad. If that's whetted your appetite, it looks like several complete episodes are available on YouTube.

You beat me to it this week, but your preview is better than the one I had planned: ... and 42 other drivers qualified behind him.

Sorry Roger, it's no points for you and one point for Roth. The cast member with the largest part in 'Earth Girls Are Easy' is Rick Hurst (credited as Richard Hurst), who plays a policeman!: As for Nedra Volz's appearance, I had to watch the movie twice to spot her - blink and she's gone!: There's another connection too: Dukes lead mechanic Tom Sarmento and Dukes stuntman Corey Eubanks both get credited for stunt work. I won't kid you that it's a great movie, but it's got some fun moments. It also stars Larry Linville (Frank Burns from M*A*S*H), and features fairly early appearances by Jim Carrey and Damon Wayons.

It's from 'Duke vs. Duke' in season 3. The picture below is from the bloopers thread, and shows the thin wire used to raise Flash's ears near the end: The episode is another that features stuntman Al Wyatt Jr. with an on-screen part, this time as one of Ma Harper's boys:

Fun fair

So that's what Darian Grubb meant when he told Denny to pull his finger out .

I thought I'd post a bigger picture as non-members can't view attachments. I found this one on autoblog.com. It looks like the trailer is safe (as are all the people aboard), so it's just the back of the bus that's damaged. Coincidentally, the same thing happened to a bus carrying an English rugby team to a match last weekend. Again, there were no casualties, but it looks like a bigger fire:

Those legs were insured for $1,000,000! I think it's from 'Along Came A Duke' in season 3 (the one with Jeb Stuart Duke).

Welcome to HNet, Brandon. I don't know if you've mistaken this part of the forum for the chatroom, but HNet hasn't had a chatroom since the forum upgrade earlier this year. I'm not sure if there are plans to add one - it was fun when a group of us got together for the Christmas party or similar event. In the meantime, you can add your contibutions in the regular forums, or possibly PM (Private Message) individual members.

This one's really addressed to MeadowMufn. I know that for various, unavoidable reasons you haven't had as much time as you'd like for HNet recently. One consequence is that first posts from new members aren't always moderated for view within 24 hours of posting, which means they can easily get missed by people like me who mainly click on "Today's Posts". One recent example is Brenton's excellent Boss Hogg Drawing that I only discovered nearly three months after it was posted. Is it possible to either change the time stamp on moderated posts or maybe just post a very brief reply so they don't get lost? I can imagine new members being disheartened if they think their first contibutions are being ignored. In the meantime, get well soon. For the rest of us, let's make the effort to keep an eye out for posts from new members so we can welcome them to Hazzard County .

If you're looking for Uncle Jesse overalls then the light wash denim does seem to be elusive (unless you want childrenswear or ones with cut-off legs for women). I searched Ebay.com (using the search term "bib overall"), and the nearest ones turned out to be striped when I zoomed in . Your spelling of colour suggests you're somewhere that speaks British English, so you could try searching for "dungarees" (which appears to be a type of jeans in the US). The closest I found was on Ebay.co.uk. They're still a little dark - maybe a bit of bleach could sort that out . The asking price is £33.99 + P&P, and they're available in sizes from XS to XXL. To cover all bases, the seller describes them as "Men Women Unisex Light Wash Denim Onesie Dungarees All In One Piece Bib Overalls"!

When the time is right, just be careful what you search for - I saw this on Failblog the other day :

I took a trip back to the late-80s recently when I watched the Jeff Goldblum/Geena Davis comedy 'Earth Girls Are Easy'. Which two of the following Dukes cast appeared in the movie?: A) Sonny Shroyer (Enos) Nedra Volz (Miz Tisdale) C) Don Pedro Colley (Sheriff Little) D) Lindsay Bloom (Mabel Tillingham) E) Jeff Altman (Hughie Hogg) F) Rick Hurst (Cletus)

chips (like fat French Fries. What y'all call chips, we call crisps, and what you call Lay's, we call Walkers (although Tayto and King are more popular in Ireland))

potato (I am in Ireland ) PS. For any Dan Quayle supporters out there, it's the same as a potatoe .

I'll probably think of some more ideas, but here's a few suggestions to be going on with: 1) I agree that you could probably merge "Dukes of Hazzard News" and "Latest News". 2) "On TV This Week" could merge with the "TV" section of "Community" or become a sub-forum of it. 3) "Dukes of Hazzard Trivia" could probably become another heading under "Community" rather than having its own section. 4) "DukesOfHazzardFanFic.com" no longer seems to have its own identity or header, so could become another heading under "Fan Fiction". 5) "Moderator Meetin' Minutes" and "Chat Times" could be archived. 6) The "Dukes of Hazzard Movie" and "Dukes of Hazzard PC and Video Games" sections aren't so popular nowadays, so could maybe slip down the list whilst giving "The Show" section higher billing. 7) I've just noticed after all these years that "New Users Guide" needs an apostrophe. My preference would be "New Users' Guide", but "New User's Guide" would still be OK, and match the "New Hazzard Citizen's Guide" heading. Of course, you could change that to "New Hazzard Citizens' Guide"!

It's not very clear in this picture, but it's supposed to say "Vance". If you do a Google image search for "christopher mayer autograph" you'll see better examples. There's not much to go on - what makes you think it's Laramie Street? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't see anything that places it Laramie Street either.
