I agree with MM...resolutions is such a bad word.
My New Year's resolution is 1920 x 1200 pixels @ 60 Hz (same as last year) - hope this help

Commercials
in TV
I'm sure y'all know that us Brits need a good cup of tea before we'll do anything, so what happens when we visit the US of A? Yorkshire Tea had the answer when they sent over Little Urn in a converted ice cream van to rescue Brits from terrible tea. They even included a special blend to cope with the hard water in Nevada:

I'm playing out of turn again and, as usual, it's because of sad news. This time it's to mark the passing of Patti Page earlier this week at the age of 85 (she only gave up touring last September!). I have the song below on a compilation, but I couldn't find a video for it (I chose it because it shares a word with the song in the previous post).
Trust In Me - Patti Page
She is best known for her hits of the '50s, including
and, and was due to receive a Lifetime Achievement award at next month's Grammy ceremony. My personal favorite is, which is the song on Marvin's record player when John McClane first meets him in 'Die Hard 2'. I was reminded of the song, and rediscovered the original, when Groove Armada sampled it in their chilled-out track.If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air

That makes me think of the Rambo knife made by Jimmie Lile the Arkansas knifemaker. It cost about 700 bucks after the movie came out but is now worth ten times that.
They're making a limited run of 100 "Next Generation" First Blood knives if you're interested. Buy one at the bargain price of just $3500!

That was obviously way too easy
. Here's Coltrano the Great with his "magic box":
Can you match the middle names to the regular cast members?:
Arnold, Burt, Dell, Douglas, Richard
Rick Hurst
Waylon Jennings
Denver Pyle
John Schneider
Sonny Shroyer
Can anyone confirm Tom's middle name? I found a couple of references to Stephen, but IMDb.com just lists him as "Thomas S. Wopat".
-
How old will he be?
He was born January 1, 1946, so, if my math is correct, I think that makes him 67.

This version appeared in 'Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery', and it leads me back to
. It was a sample from that version that Maverick Sabre used on his 2012 single. -
He hit reply at 9pm my time, three hours early!
No, he was five hours late

Sorrell appeared in two episodes of 'Columbo' in the '70s, and seeing as I've just mentioned that fact in The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread, I thought I'd include a picture. The screengrab below is from the 1977 episode 'The Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case' (the other episode was 'Swan Song' in 1974).
-
I hope my tribute to Jack Klugman didn't mislead both of you, because the answer is A) Murder She Wrote, although Denver once played a character called Tom Quincy in an episode of 'Perry Mason'. I included 'Columbo' in the options because Sorrell Booke appeared in two episodes of that show. Despite (or maybe because of) her earlier marriage to Angela Lansbury's stepson, Cathy was never in 'Murder She Wrote'. The episodes were:
Tom Wopat as Bill Dawson in 'Kendo Killing' (1996).
Denver Pyle as Eben Connors in 'Coal Miner's Slaughter' (1988).
Rick Hurst as Police Chief Slocum in 'Something Borrowed, Someone Blue' (1989).
Byron Cherry as Deputy Will Roxie in 'It's a Dog's Life' (1984).
The title of Denver's episode was obviously a play on the title of Loretta Lynn's biopic, and also included Dukes' guest star Hoyt Axton and Megan Mullally from 'Will & Grace'.
For today's question I'm returning briefly to 'Opening Night at the Boar's Nest' (sorry Roger). Rosco used a "magic box" to make Boss disappear, but what was the Oriental design on the front of it?
A) A pagoda
The Great Wall of ChinaC) A panda
D) A Samurai warrior
E) Mount Fuji
-
Seeing as no one else is jumping in with answers, I'll put you out of your misery, Roger. Cletus crashed his car to distract Bo and Luke while Rosco swapped the horses in 'The Rustlers'. 'Enos in Trouble' was close, but it was from another episode where Enos was the target: 'Enos's Last Chance' (Scanlon was after Enos). You were right about 'Jude Emery' (and you got all the owners first time round)
.As he was the star of one of the choices, I'll dedicate this question to Jack Klugman, who sadly passed away on Monday at the age of 90.
Cast regulars Tom Wopat, Denver Pyle, Rick Hurst and Byron Cherry have all made guest appearances in which TV detective show?
A) Murder She Wrote
ColumboC) Remington Steele
D) Hart to Hart
E) Quincy M.E.
-
Hmmm, must be the only episode I got right was "The Ransom of Hazzard County" because I'm sure Enos's station wagon got blown up by the Doomsday Gang.
The one you have right is actually Rosco's Le Mans in 'To Catch a Duke'. I remembered the Doomsday Gang blowing a car up, but had to double-check whose it was - turns out it was Rosco's patrol car (in virtually the same location).
Here's a hint for each one of the others:
Enos's car gets blown up because Enos is the target!
Cletus crashes his car to act as a distraction.
Grady Byrd was in two episodes.
-
OK, so Roger's got all the drivers/owners correct, but only one of the episodes. Can y'all help him out before I reveal the answers?
-
After Jesse got Rosco to move, he finally got the banner up just in time for the big day
.

Hey Hoss, any chance of getting a couple screengrabs of the Christmas party at the Duke farm at the end of "The Great Santa Claus Chase"? That sure would be a nice touch to this thread.
No problem, Roger.

I was going to send out the picture below in PMs - posting it here eliminates the risk of missing anyone
."Beannachtaà an tSéasúir" to CDoherty and anyone else in Ireland.
"¡Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo!" to CarlosArgentino and the Spanish speakers.
"Buon Natale e felice anno nuovo" to i1976! and any other Italian members.
For the rest of y'all, I hope "Merry Christmas and a happy New Year" does the job

Well I guess she looks enough like the jeannie that I'll say that. I can't remember anyone else in that episode that looks similiar. She's definitely not three-pack.
Three Pack was actually Madame Delilah's sidekick in 'The Fortune Tellers', but I'm glad it's not just me who mixes up the two episodes
.You're right about the mystery guest star, she was the genie (your spelling suggests a preoccupation with Barbara Eden
). The actress is Katherine Moffat, who was often credited as "Kitty Moffat" around this time. She played Hughie Hogg's girlfriend, Trixie, in 'When You Wish Upon a Hogg' (see below). She also had guest appearances in many other '70s/80s favorites such as 'CHiPs', 'Fantasy Island', 'The Love Boat', 'T.J. Hooker', 'Simon & Simon', 'Crazy Like a Fox', 'Knots Landing', and Dukes spin-off 'Enos' (as Kitty Ruth-Moffat).
Here's another picture question. Can you name the Hazzard lawman associated with each of these civilian vehicles? Each car was driven and/or owned by one of Hazzard's finest!
Bonus points can be won by naming the episodes in which they appeared.

And thanks for the Griffith observatory picture.
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'.
-
Now that you put it that way I'll go with "When You Wish Upon a Hogg"
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?

I'm going to have to check my season 7 episode list on this one because I'm lost.
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
. -
I am confused about one thing though. That sign doesn't make any sense. Why in the world would anyone ever want to leave Hazzard County?
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."
-
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?

Y'all are too good at this. BL got them all very quickly, and Roger wasn't far behind. Can no one confirm Tom's middle name? Just to confirm the answers, here's the full list:
Richard Douglas Hurst
Waylon Arnold Jennings
Denver Dell Pyle
John Richard Schneider III
Otis Burt Shroyer Jr.
I wasn't sure how to phrase the next question, so I'll give clues if it doesn't make sense!
What connects the following episodes, and which is the odd one out?:
'Arrest Jesse Duke', 'Treasure of Hazzard', 'Baa, Baa White Sheep', 'Twin Trouble'.
