Again, thank you Hoss. I thought Mexican Street was Western Street, I didn't even know there existed a Western Street at WB. wasn't the Mexican Street parking lot used in carnival of Thrills as the Cedar City Fair Grounds?
Also, I believe Western Street was sometimes visible in the Dukes. Here's a jump from S6E10 'Enos's Last Chance' showing a building of Western Street in the background.
The Cedar City Fair Grounds parking lot was behind the block where the bank is, just off the top left corner of my recent aerial picture.
The building in your animation is at the end of Western Street, and was seen in quite a few episodes. Rosco even went inside it to spy on the Dukes in 'Route 7-11'. I guess it survived because it blocked the end of the street nicely. It's since been replaced by a much larger building.
The parking lot where Mexican Street used to be was in 'Southern Comfurts' (see below). On the left you can see the back of the building at the end of Western Street. Both the Mexican Street parking lot and the one below it have now been repaced by offices (you can briefly see the lower one playing a hospital during the chase in the 'Hazzard in Hollywood' movie), with parking moved to a new structure just south of Forest Lawn Drive.
I believe this is from the episode where Bo and Luke have to drive a truck which contains a casino, the man on the right had gambled away all his money there and now the dukes are helping him out.
I think you're mixing up your Stovalls. The man who lost his money on the casino truck in 'Route 7-11' was Dewey Stovall. The man on the right is Bill Erwin who played Clarence Stovall in 'The Great Bank Robbery'. Boss cheated him out of his pension by firing him the day before he retired, so he robbed to bank to make up for it. If you look in the background, the 'Office' sign on Cooter's was higher up in earlier seasons and there were license plates over the door.

Wow, thank you for that Hoss! You say it is the Western Set, So this is Laramie Street? or the Mexican city you can sometimes see from Midwest Street?
I thought it would be at a movie ranch instead of the WB backlot as it looked to rural for the backlot.
Here's an aerial view from 1980. Western Street was right next to Midwest(ern) Street, behind the row of houses containing Boss Hogg's house. Mexican Street was already a parking lot by 1980 (as can be seen in 'Southern Comfurts') - it was torn down sometime in the mid-70s. Laramie street was over on the eastern side of the lot. In the Hazzard Square thread there's pictures of Western Street from 'The Hack of Hazzard' and pictures of Western Street from 'The Invaders' episode 'The Miracle'.
-
This was listed as a Dukes of Hazzard behind the scenes but the only similarity I see are two 1969 Dodge Chargers.
The picture was taken on (the long gone) Western Street in the Warner Brothers back lot, so they could be General Lee's being stored just off of Hazzard Square. Here's the same building as it appeared in 'The Hack of Hazzard' when the street became Shoveltown:

Welcome to HNet Roy. I'm glad you liked the buildings. I have only done artwork for the Boar's Nest signs so far. The Boar's Nest itself doesn't have too much detail compared to some of the others, so it should be easy enough. Have you seen Mark B.'s 1:25 scale model of Cooter's Garage? I'd love to know if he ever finished it.

When I posted the starting lineup I was under the impression that JJ had passed the second inspection and everything was fine. I think the difference between this issue and the roof flaps is that JJ qualified with an illegal car whereas the 31 last week all fixed their cars before qualifying. It's still a tough decision to take when it's your driver - at least JG moves up to 5th

I've never heard of Peggy Rea wearing a fat suit. Here's a picture from nearly 10 years after Dukes when she was in 'Grace Under Fire' (I downloaded this so long ago that I've forgotten the source).

That great! When I started reading I though "What in the world are CDoherty and Hoss doing in Ireland"? But then I saw your two locations were Ireland. I always thought you both lived in the UK.
:oops:I'm English and grew up in the UK, but have lived in Ireland for nearly 10 years.
Would you two mind to share some of the myths of the Dukes of Hazzard you've heard?I'll have to leave CDoherty to answer your question about the General Lee because I didn't see it.
We discussed so much that I'll have to try and remember all the things that Tom said. I'll sure we'll be posting some of them, so watch this space
. -
I only got the message late last night, and initially thought that it sounded like a long to go (I live more than twice as far away as CDoherty). Then, as the magnitude of the opportunity I'd be missing began to sink in, I decided to go.
Libby pretty much left us to it, and we spent several hours listening to Tom's great behind-the-scenes stories. There were stories about how stunts were done, how the cars were set up, stunts that went wrong, and the odd tidbit about the stars of the show.
Tom is such a nice guy, and really down-to-earth. I'd also like to thank Libby for opening her home to a pair of strangers.
As to the phone call, Tom's phone rang sometime between 6 and 7pm. I think CDoherty and I looked at each other in disbelief when we heard him greet the caller. It was none other than Don Pedro Colley aka. Sheriff Little, and he very generously let both of us speak to him. He also seems like a cool guy.
That leaves a lot of thanks for me to give: to Tom for his time, to Libby for letting us invade her house, to Don Pedro for talking to us, and to CDoherty for inviting me along - thanks to all of you

Well, qualifying for the Camping World RV Sales 301 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway has just finished. I didn't see all of it, but I believe all of the top ten broke the lap record.
Jimmie Johnson failed initial inspection because of some problem with his car's side skirt and had to go through a second inspection before qualifying out of turn.
Morgan Shepherd is set to become the oldest Sprint Cup driver at the age of 71. Only eight of the other drivers had been born when he made his debut.
David Stremme had some kind of problem, but I only tuned in as he was coming back to pit lane, so I missed what was up.
Here's the provisional starting order:
1 Brad Keselowski
2 Jimmie Johnson
3 Kurt Busch
4 Dale Earnhardt Jr.
5 Kyle Busch
6 Jeff Gordon
7 Carl Edwards
8 Denny Hamlin

Maybe not but every time I see the obituaries I see a lot of folks in their 50s in there. (I'm 53)
But I'm not worried about it. I leave those decisions to the Good Lord.
I saw someone on TV this week say "you know you're getting old when someone your age dies and it's no longer described as a tragedy." I'd love to give them credit, but I've forgotten who it was - another sign I'm getting old

Well, it could be the jump from the episode Hoss told me but I cant be sure. The shot isn't long enough to see if the General's rear window gets shattered. Also, I cant think of any other jump on Hazzard Square in season 3 or 4.
There were a few times when Cooter towed the General back to Hazzard Square after crashes/situations further afield. It's been a while since I've watched seasons 3 and 4, so I'm afraid I can't give you much more to go on.
Not really a Dukes of Hazzard behind the scenes but it shows a nice piece of Laramie Street.
Behind the tree's on the left side of the Courthouse in this picture was used sometimes as a hideout for criminals on the Dukes. It was used as the cotton mill in the first reunion and the coffin works in one of the episodes. I believe it was used a lot of more times but I forgot them.
Also, on the right side of the courthouse a little bit further back was Hogg's heavenly acres and the small church where Emery Potter and Maybel tried to get married twice.
Nice courthouse picture - is that the 'Reunion' Boar's Nest (below) on the right?. From memory, I think the Coffin Works appeared in three episodes. For those of y'all who haven't made it all the way through the Hazzard Square thread, you can find the section on Laramie Street (including the church and Heavenly Acres) here.

Ok, that means I gotta search if that jump I mean was in season 3 or 4.
The fruitstall stunt you described is in 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again', midway through season 4.
-
Looking at the hood standing up my best guess is that it is from the jump over the fruitstall on Midwest Street. The one where Enos and Rosco both jump and Enos lands on the trunk of Rosco's car.
It looks like the General has light front and rear damage, plus the rear window has gone, but that doesn't narrow it down much
. Cooter's using his yellow tow truck, so that's basically season 3 or 4. -
Just to update y'all on the roof flaps...NASCAR has decided NOT to penalize any of the drivers for the manipulated roof flats.
Thanks for the update - I'd forgotten the possibility of penalties was hanging over all those drivers.
Y'all know how much I love NASCAR, but really wish they would be consistant with their penalties and what not...But it wouldn't be NASCAR if they were consistent with their penalties. What else do you want, right turns?
-
No Flash, this must be from before the start of season 3.
I was gonna say season 1 because Rosco and Enos have jackets on, but then I spotted that Bo seems to be wearing his 'Carnival of Thrills' outfit, so it must be season 3.

John and Tom at I believe Times Square.
I've just checked out the location, and you're right, it is Times Square. What amused me was that Google Street View shows the famous busker known as the Naked Cowboy standing where Tom and John were:
-
Anyone remembers this scene? I dont. My best guess is that its from a Georgia episode when i look at the type of car and the surroundings.
I don't know but somehow it looks like a test for blowing the rear of the car like happening in 'Mary Kaye's Baby'
You're not far off, it's actually from 'Daisy's Song'. Rosco and Enos pull the patrol car across the road to block Bo and Luke in Daisy's Road Runner. After a bit of banter about being arrested, Bo hands Rosco a lit stick of dynamite and asks if he can bring it with them. Rosco gives the stick to Enos, who throws it under the patrol car with the outcome as above.
Incidentally, the patrol car that pulls out is a Dodge Monaco, while the one that blows up is an older Dodge Polara.

I hope so too, Roger. The place isn't the same without you

Anyone recognizes the signature? It reads something Baris I think.
That's the signature of George Barris, legendary "King of the Kustomizers". He's the man responsible for the '60s Batmobile, the Munsters' Koach, and the Beverly Hillbillies' truck amongst others. I'm not sure why his name gets associated with the General Lee - his website has a picture of the General, and ERTL made a couple of "Barris Editions" of the diecast version, but all I can find is that he may have made some replicas - he had nothing to do with the creation of the General.
-
The old forum had the "Who's Online" facility too - I used/use it all the time. Even now I still find guests reading threads that I've never seen before.
I've just checked my own details, and this coming Saturday marks the third anniversary of me joining HNet - it feels like five minutes ago. We might be getting old, but if I was much younger I would have missed out on seeing Dukes when it was first shown
. -
I agree with you about the jumps from 'Mary Kaye's Baby' and 'High Octane', and you're probably right about Elm Street. It's the first one that I don't remember. You're right about it not being from 'Granny Annie' (no flying barrels), but I can't think where it's from.
I was sad to see the damage on the first picture, so I had a go at fixing it

Sorry to tell you this, Hoss, but Ricky Stenhouse Jr was taken out on the last lap by his own girl friend...
He soon pushed her to one side
.I'd swear Ricky crossed the line in 10th, but I see they gave him 11th in the end - I was hoping he'd get his first top ten finish. At least he had a pretty strong race. I used to dread restrictor plate races, but now they're really good (well the second half anyway
).BTW. Your link goes to the standings. Here's the results:

In less than two weeks...I will be seeing them in concert.

2013 NASCAR race reviews and results
in NASCAR

I thought Garrett might post the results last night, but, since I had a few minutes to spare, I thought I'd do it myself.
Kurt Busch led most laps (102), but got into a wreck with Ryan Newman around lap 230. Tony Stewart led 84 laps, but ran out of fuel at the end, and came home as the last car in the lead lap. The race ended with a green-white-checkered-flag finish, and the surprise winner was Brian Vickers, the part-time driver with Michael Waltrip Racing.
Jimmie Johnson didn't let starting from the back get in the way of a top ten finish, eventually coming home in 6th.
Ricky was progressing nicely at around 20th for most of the race until Danica took him and Travis Kvapil out on lap 237. There were several other spins and small crashes, but nothing on the scale of last week's race.
