    That should be OK for me.

    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.

    Horses From the first letter of the Cockney alphabet, in which case I guess it should really be 'orses.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    HossC replied to Garrett Duke's topic in TV

    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).

    Here's an idea I had for an extra episode in season 5 - what do y'all think?
  12. HossC
    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
  13. HossC
    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!

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    It looks like you're the only one brave enough to have a stab at this one, Roger. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take your first answer, because that one's correct! The license plate can be found on Waylon's traveling museum. I've inset a closer view of the plate from later in the episode. "What were the clues?" I hear you ask. 1) I carefully said "vehicle" to suggest it wasn't a car, so hopefully that narrowed it down. 2) The Tennesse plate was likely to be a musical guest rather than the Beaudrys. 3) Waylon's logo is a flying "W" ("FLYN W 1"). In 'Sky Bandits Over Hazzard', the bad guys use a helicopter to steal armored cars, but which of Boss's old properties do they use as a hideout? A) Coffin Works Livery Stables C) Feed & Seed Store D) Ice House E) Grits Mill

    Commercials

    HossC replied to Garrett Duke's topic in TV

    For the Christmas season I thought I'd do a roundup of anti drink-driving commercials from around the world. A couple of them are quite shocking - I make no apologies. I'll start with the one that gave me the idea. It's been shown on UK TV for the last few years, and features a barman acting out a possible scenario. I think this one from Ireland is possibly the hardest hitting. It's also been around for a few years. Here's an Australian take on the subject. It's not one I know - it just came up as one of the suggestions in YouTube. This US commercial dates back to the '80s, and I'm sure I remember seeing it on a UK TV show about commercials from other countries. For the last one, I'm heading back to the UK. Unlike the others, this was specifically targeted at summertime drink-driving (the soundtrack is Mungo Jerry's 'In The summertime'), but the message is the same. I think this is the only commercial to show blood! If they remade Dukes today, I think there would be some changes. Boss probably wouldn't have his cigar, seatbelts would be worn by everyone rather than just Flash and people riding in Dixie, and I don't think the laissez-faire attitude to drink-driving would be allowed. Of course, I'm speaking as someone outside the US, so your views may be different. I just can't imagine that we'd find a drunk-driver like old Hobie so amusing nowadays.

    After posting the Family Truckster last week I remembered that Cale Yarborough was driving an '83 Ford LTD Country Squire when he returned to Hazzard in season 7. As you can see from the pictures below, apart from the lights and side rear window, the real car is not a million miles from George Barris's creation. In fact, Cale's car has a larger area of fake wood!
  21. HossC
    You guessed correctly, Roger. Jesse's tie was black, but both of the boys had different shades of brown. There's certainly no doubting that this episode was filmed in the '70s (new question below): This is a tricky one, but the clues are in the question. Which guest star arrived in Hazzard in a vehicle bearing the Tennessee license plate "FLYN W 1"?

    One Word Song Titles

    HossC replied to HossC's topic in Music

    Here's another song that uses the repeated single word rule. There aren't many songs that can say their lyrics are up to 3000 years old! In 1959, Pete Seeger added music and a few words to Ecclesiastes 3:1-15. Six years later it became an international hit for The Byrds. Thanks MaryAnne, I really enjoyed that. It reminded me that Bryan Ferry has just released an unusual new album, and I was going to post 'Avalon' (it's the only one word title on the album), but it hasn't made it to YouTube yet. The album, 'The Jazz Age', is a 40-year retrospective of his solo and Roxy Music songs rerecorded as 1920s style jazz instrumentals. To give you an idea of how they turned out, why not try Slave To Love.
  23. HossC
    This is the only song I know where the video is set inside a wardrobe that's been placed precariously close to the edge of a cliff! It was an odd idea, even in the mid-80s.

    Y'all have better memories than me, because the answer is Andy Roach. Apparently, he was promoted to the Atlanta office. Cooter obviously approved of Roxanne's appointment when he commented "She's a whole lot better looking than Agent Roach was." I'm just going to sneak in another quick 'High Octane' question before I move on. I'm sure y'all remember that Bo, Luke and Jesse got "duded up" in their fancy clothes for their meeting with Agent Huntley at the start of the episode, but what color tie did Luke wear with his blue suit? A) Brown Orange C) Red D) Blue E) Black F) Stars and Bars

    Good Bye Larry Hagman

    HossC replied to RogerDuke's topic in TV

    Roger, while I'm talking about Enya and languages your wife probably doesn't speak, she also sings some of her songs in Irish Gaelic. Since we're now in December, how about ('Silent Night) - it'll take you a long way out of your Charlie Daniels Band comfort zone .
