  1. It looks like I was wrong about the Griffith Observatory only appearing in the shot above. I'm not sure how I missed it, but there's a good chance that the scene below was filmed there too . "...Bo and Gabby took a stroll to look at the stars." Here's a close-up of them sitting on the steps of the observatory, just before Gabby surprises Bo by breaking into Merle Haggard's 'Somewhere Between'.
  2. OK, the episode was 'When You Wish Upon a Hogg', so does anyone have the answer to the question: Can you name her, or the part she played in Dukes?
  3. There were only 17 episodes in season 7, and (by my count) only eight had female guest stars. I'll narrow down her appearance to one of these four: 'Happy Birthday, General Lee' 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Duke' 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' 'When You Wish Upon a Hogg' Maybe the answer will appear to you in a puff of smoke .
  4. Roger, I think I've found an answer in one of Waylon's lines from 'Coy Meets Girl': "Now, why anybody would leave Hazzard for Loomis is beyond me. But some folks is peculiar."
  5. Looks like you're on your own again, Roger. Luckily, you went for the right answer. The name is seen several times, but it's clearer during the model sequence (left). New question below. Here's another mystery guest star for y'all. There's a tenuous laundry connection because the character in the picture on the left went to Mr. Lee's Laundry to hire 'The A-Team'. A year later she appeared in an episode of 'Knight Rider', trying to tempt Michael Knight to join a gang and steal a dangerous nerve-gas. Can you name her, or the part she played in season 7 of Dukes?
  6. wheels Wagon Wheels are chocolate marshmallow biscuits that are available in Australia, Canada, Iran, Malta, the Republic of Ireland, Russia and the United Kingdom, but not the USA. Apparently, they're similar to Scooter Pies in the northern states and Moon Pies in the southern ones.
  7. Horses From the first letter of the Cockney alphabet, in which case I guess it should really be 'orses.
  8. I've just seen the date on my last post in this thread, and didn't realize how long ago it was. With that in mind, I'd better crack on. There are very few different patrol cars in season 7 - it seems that most of the criminals usually end up in the hands of the Hazzard Police (or on one occasion, Sheriff Little). Then, like proverbial London buses, three come along at once. They all appear in 'Cool Hands, Luke & Bo'. The first is a dark blue and white Osage County Fury driven by Sheriff 'Droopy' Cathcarte (you can see my Fan Art version here). The A-pillar spotlights suggest that it may have been one of Sheriff Little's cars that got repainted. This rather dirty 1971 Impala belongs to the Osage County Prison. It's seen a number of times around the prison and the work crew. It also crashes through a mattress truck near the end of the episode (in a model sequence), and rams the Osage patrol car, complete with Cassius Claibourne, across the Hazzard County line. The episode finishes with a brief, and final appearance of a black and white State Police car. This is actually the best shot I could get - the grille and tail lights are never visible, but the black & whites are usually 1977/78 Dodge Monacos. If you look at the rear fender you can see the reflection of one of the spotlights. For the last picture I'm returning to season 2. Jake told me I'd missed a car from 'Return Of The Ridge Raiders'. Back then I was really only covering police cars, so I didn't include this 1971 AMC Matador belonging to Allied Security. The guards are meant to be protecting a truck, but they get into an argument with Sheriff Buster Moon, who runs them off the road. The car also takes part in a chase a little later in the episode. I think that completes seasons 1-7 (unless y'all know differently). I'll try to post the patrol cars from the TV movies before the end of the year!
  9. Those dates are fine with me, just remember that I'm on GMT, which is five hours ahead of Eastern. Ideally it would be good if we could start by 8 p.m. Eastern as that is already 1 a.m. for me.
  10. There's points for both of you as you're both right, although a bicycle wasn't Rosco's first choice. He originally tried to get on a jackass, but fell off. As Waylon said, "... Rosco was in need of any transportation. But knowing his luck with vehicles, he'd soon be filling out forms for wrecking a mule." Rosco then spotted a boy with a bicycle laughing at him, and told him "I'm gonna have to 'condameer' it." (new question below) In 'Sittin' Dukes', the convicts escaped from prison in a laundry van. What was the name of the commercial laundry service on the side of the van? A) Adam's David's C) Michael's D) Peter's E) Simon's
  11. It's a great idea, but so far I can't find the right pictures to use. For the time being, I'll leave you with another season 5 suggestion, this time it's a Kevin Costner remake.

    Commercials

    Here's another commercial that could help to save a life, although this one is a little more light-hearted than the drink-drive ones above. The British Heart Foundation no longer recommends giving mouth-to-mouth in the event of cardiac arrest. The new advice is to pump the chest hard and fast. To promote this technique they enlisted soccer-hardman-turned-actor Vinnie Jones (and the Bee Gees).
  13. Here's an idea I had for an extra episode in season 5 - what do y'all think?
  14. Interesting Freudian slip there, Roger. Were you agreeing with BL, or suggesting that I was part of the act? I'm awarding one and a half points because Flash's name was 'Flasho', but Boss's full name was 'J.D. Hoggo the Round'. Seeing as Roger doesn't like watching the last episode: in 'The Haunting of J.D. Hogg', Boss takes Rosco's patrol car while he's left to guard the Dukes. When the Dukes escape in the General, what does Rosco use for transportation? A) A bicycle A horse C) A 3-wheeler (ATV) D) A jackass E) A garbage truck
  15. Last time it was right for Roger to disagree with BL. This time it was right for BL to disagree with Roger, thereby bringing Roger's winning streak to an end. BL also claims all the bonus points for naming the instruments - well done (new question below): Also in 'Opening Night at the Boar's Nest', Rosco performed as 'The Great Coltrano' (or 'Coltrano the Great' - both were used), but can you give the stage names of his two assistants? Hint: the first assistant helped him practice his card tricks, and was canine!
  16. They used a large building in the Hazzard County Stockyards to hide Loretta's RV. It had "Hazzard County Feed & Grain" on the side (see pictures here). Maybe it's in another part of that episode, or a completely different episode, or a figment of my imagination.
  17. I'll should be able to squeeze any night into my hectic social calendar . The chat room's probably quite dusty seeing as it hasn't been used for a while. Maybe a couple of us should go in a few days early to clean up a bit. I'd rather do that than mop up at the end of the evening like last year - those buttermilk stains still haven't come out .
  18. I hadn't thought of that interpretation, Roger. When I first saw it I thought of someone called "W. Flynn". I guess it's one of those things that makes sense when you know . It looks like your run of good luck is continuing, Roger - I bet it started the week after the recent massive Powerball draw! Unlike the episodes immediately before it, 'Sky Bandits Over Hazzard' actually used a real helicopter instead of models. Here it is parked outside 'Hogg's Ice House' (new question below): You're probably right, Roger, although I'm struggling to remember which episode made use of the livery stables (I know the Sleepy City ones appear in the background in 'Go West, Young Dukes'). Boss's coffin works featured in a couple of episodes, the Ajax Feed and Seed barn was used as Boss's first illegal betting operation location in 'Hazzard Hustle', and Boss's old grits mill was acquired by Jamie Lee Hogg in 'Mrs. Daisy Hogg'. In 'Opening Night at the Boar's Nest', Bo, Luke, Daisy, Jesse and Cooter appeared as the Duke Family Singers, but which one of them wasn't playing an instrument? Bonus points if you can name the instruments played by the others.
