The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread
HossC replied to Meadowmufn's topic in Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
I agree with Roth's answers for the first two. I was thinking that the Adventures of Eagleman might be an answer for the last one, but that was obviously a different episode, so I'll agree with Roth on the last one too.- 3,830 replies

To fill in a few of the details, the race started with three cautions in the first 17 laps - nothing major, just spins. One of the early spinners was Auston Dillon in Tony Stewart's car, but he recovered to finish 14th. Jimmie Johnson made good progress through the field, but his engine let him down with only about a quarter of the race gone. I enjoyed watching Ricky Stenhouse Jr creep up to 10th place, but his progress was halted when he hit the wall on lap 71. It took about three cautions for him to make the lap back, and although he briefly got past Jeff Gordon in the last run, he eventually finished 19th. He had a fast car today, and should've got a top ten finish if he hadn't hit the wall. Dale Earnhardt Jr. had to got to the garage after hitting the wall on lap 135 whilst running 7th. Kyle Busch had spins on laps 157 and 173 - both bringing out cautions. Several of the top ten were tight on fuel at the end, but only Mark Martin (who'd got caught out by an earlier caution during green-flag pit stops) had to dive into the pits for a top-up - he was leading at the time! As Roger said, there were plenty of lead changes, and although Joey Logano did lead the most, he only managed 52/200 laps. Jimmie Johnson managed to lead three before his retirement, so at least he picks up a point for that. Here's the provisional result: 1 Joey Logano 2 Kevin Harvick 3 Kurt Busch 4 Paul Menard 5 Clint Bowyer 6 Marcos Ambrose 7 Kasey Kahne 8 Jeff Burton 9 Greg Biffle 10 Carl Edwards 11 Juan Pablo Montoya 12 Brad Keselowski 13 Ryan Newman 14 Austin Dillon 15 Matt Kenseth 16 Martin Truex Jr. 17 Jeff Gordon 18 Aric Almirola 19 Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 20 Denny Hamlin 21 Trevor Bayne 22 Jamie McMurray 23 Danica Patrick 24 David Ragan 25 Casey Mears 26 David Stremme 27 Mark Martin 28 Travis Kvapil 29 Timmy Hill 30 Dave Blaney 31 Kyle Busch 32 Landon Cassill 33 Brendan Gaughan 34 Joe Nemechek 35 Bobby Labonte 36 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 37 David Gilliland 38 David Reutimann 39 Josh Wise 40 Jimmie Johnson 41 Scott Speed 42 Johnny Sauter 43 J.J.

Garrett's not going to be happy - Jimmie Johnson is starting at the back after crashing his primary car in Saturday practice. He's joined at the back by Jamie McMurray who's had to swap engines.

It doesn't pay to hang around - I went away to think about question 3, and two people beat me to answering . I agree with the answer to the first question: blow driers. I don't remember the second one, but I'm sure it's not A) or , so I'll agree with C) Hector Farley. I still have no idea about the last question, so I'll go with C) white cloth money bag, just to be different.- 3,830 replies

With Garrett out of town, I guess the preview's down to me, so here's the starting lineup for Sunday's Pure Michigan 400 from the Michigan International Speedway. 1 Joey Logano 2 Kurt Busch 3 Jimmie Johnson 4 Mark Martin 5 Jeff Burton 6 Juan Pablo Montoya 7 Dale Earnhardt Jr 8 Denny Hamlin 9 Brad Keselowski 10 Kyle Busch 11 Clint Bowyer 12 Matt Kenseth 13 Jeff Gordon 14 Aric Almirola 15 Kevin Harvick 16 Greg Biffle 17 Martin Truex Jr 18 Trevor Bayne 19 Carl Edwards 20 Paul Menard 21 Ryan Newman 22 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 23 David Gilliland 24 David Ragan 25 David Reutimann 26 Marcos Ambrose 27 Austin Dillon 28 Danica Patrick 29 Jamie McMurray 30 Bobby Labonte 31 Kasey Kahne 32 Scott Speed 33 Casey Mears 34 Timmy Hill 35 J.J. Yeley 36 David Stremme 37 Joe Nemechek 38 Travis Kvapil 39 Brendan Gaughan 40 Josh Wise 41 Johnny Sauter 42 Dave Blaney 43 Landon Cassill I missed the qualifying this week - personally, I think it would be easier if it was always the day before the race, and NASCAR.com didn't hide the schedule information until after it had taken place! When I dug a little deeper into the schedules I found that one page listed qualifying at 2:40 PM ET, and another at 3:40 PM ET - both pages are on NASCAR.com, so what chance do I have? You can read what happened here. There are some unusual paint schemes this weekend (I wouldn't recognize Jeff Gordon's car in white and blue) - you can see some of the others here. The page even includes a time-lapse video of Regan Smith's Nationwide car having its graphics applied. The race is tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:00 PM ET on ESPN.

I was hoping that recoloring the picture may help to identify the people in it, but I still don't recognize them. Here's part of an interview with John that I've just finished tweaking. I had to distort the image and play with the contrast to make it more readable. It comes from the TV Guide above that has the headline "Doctors on TV: How Good Is Their Advice?". I don't recognize this photoshoot from any of the previously posted images.

Finally, some promos. The first is obviously for 'The Great Santa Clause Chase', originally shown on December 19, 1980. The Dallas episode is 'Trouble at Ewing 23'. Here's one from the Coy and Vance era - it looks like 'Vance's Lady' from November 5, 1982. Roth has already posted a smaller version of this Alice promo, but I thought this larger one was worth posting too. Roth, I had a go at color-correcting one of the images you posted the other day.

After finding the TV Guide cover the other night, I discovered there were more with Dukes covers (Roth has already posted one here). All images are originally from Ebay, but most have been resized, color-corrected, distorted or tweaked in some way. And of course, the stars were popular with the teen magazines in the '80s. I can't believe how many also featured Leif Garrett. I think he only had one hit in the UK ('I Was Made for Dancing'), but he was obviously more popular in the US.

I'm going to guess that it's Ma Harper. If I'm right, then I remember her stealing Cooter's race car, and Al Wyatt Jr being one of her sons, but I can't remember the actress's name or the episode (I'm thinking season 3 or 4). Hence the apology for picking the original picture. All the others look too similar .- 3,830 replies

Looks like only it's Roger playing this one. Roger, you're correct, it's Lindsay Bloom aka. Myrtle/Maybelle/Mabel Tillingham. Apologies to Lindsay - I deliberately picked a slightly unflattering picture because I thought most of the others I came across would be too easy. Below is Lindsay's current profile picture from her Facebook page: Maybe I should've gone with the picture below from Mike Hammer when Lindsay was brunette: Picture from toutlecine.com.

Someone asked, and was told "as for price, keep bidding". I think the sale was run through the Ebay account of Byron's agent, Mark Van Woert, who has posted on HNet before with the username markjvanwoert. In case you've missed his previous posts, he also represents Sonny Shroyer and Don Pedro Colley, as well as working as an actor/director/producer under the name Markus James.

Just to update y'all, the bidding only reached $30,850, which didn't mean the reserve.

Two things make me think that this wasn't for 'Carnival of Thrills'. Firstly, there's a reference to "J.R. Ruined?" which I'm guessing refers to Dallas, which used to follow Dukes on a Friday night in the US. 'Carnival of Thrills' was shown as a two-hour special on September 16, 1980, and there was no episode of Dallas shown that night (or even that month). Secondly, it says "New Time! Brand New!". According to 'The Dukes of Hazzard: The Unofficial Companion', the time slot changed midway through season 4. I can't find exactly when the time changed, but 'Dukescam Scam' is roughly midway and was shown on January 1, 1982, which seems like a good time for a new schedule. Having said that, while it fits with "Dukes Duped!", the description "Boss Hogg to wreck General Lee?" doesn't really fit that episode. Maybe it was 'Goodbye, General Lee', which aired on December 4, 1981. The Dallas episode that night was 'Five Dollars a Barrel'. IMDb.com gives the summary as "J.R. finds himself in financial hot water and must broker an extension of his loan. Cliff takes advantage of J.R.'s hot spot to get some concessions.", which could fit with the tagline above. Here's another Dukes related TV Guide listing that I found on Ebay: This one's obviously from during season 5 as Coy and Vance are in the picture. Other adverts in the same issue include new seasons/episodes of Cheers, Knight Rider, Matt Houston, and Tales of the Gold Monkey, amongst others.

Coincidentally, the final season of CHiPs (season 6, 1982/83) had an episode called 'The Spaceman Made Me Do It' where a young girl claims to be getting messages from an alien spacecraft, and another called 'Day of the Robot' where a robot is leant to the CHP for evaluation. Maybe it's just a sign that they're running out of ideas. From 'Day of the Robot', here's the "Maximum Efficiency Robotization Vector Series 1" or MERV for short:
