I wasn't doubting you, Darrell - just pointing out how little information there is online. I wanted to make sure I was posting a link to the right episode and eventually found confirmation of Tom's appearance in a review. We don't get A&E. Generally all the channels are completely different here. Even if one of our channels has a similar name to one of yours it doesn't mean it will carry the same programming. We do get a large number of US shows, but two shows that are shown on the same channel for you may be on different channels for us eg. 'The Simpsons', 'Family Guy' and 'The Cleveland Show' are all on Fox in the US, yet they're on three different channels here (the channels showing The Simpsons' and 'The Cleveland Show' are part of the same group). We also seem to run a few months behind you guys when a new show comes out, which has probably always been the case, but is more noticeable since the internet became popular. I know it works both ways and that you guys get some UK shows a few months after they're shown here.

I've never heard of the show, and can't find a UK or Irish air date for it. When I did a quick search I found that neither the A&E Longmire website nor IMDb mentioned his appearance. Tom's website and Facebook both have posts on June 13th that say "Tom recently filmed a guest role on AETV's show "Longmire" - stay tuned for the air date!" - no updates are given. I'm guessing that very few people knew when his episode was on, hence the date not being posted here. For the record, it seems to be episode 8: "An Incredibly Beautiful Thing". You may be able to watch it here. Unfortunately I just get a message saying it's not available in my region.

Hi John, welcome to HazzardNet .

eyes I've just watched the video of from the movie Watership Down - I don't think I've seen it since the early '80s.

A track from their 1988 debut album, 'The First of a Million Kisses'. Their music was described as "a blend of folk, jazz, country, and cajun elements." If you've been listening to the songs I've posted recently, you may recognize the voice of the lead singer, Eddi Reader - she was the guest vocalist on the previous track I posted, 'Cruel'.

I've included this picture of Jeremiah and Jenny arriving in town because of the sign on the store behind them. Its choice of meat includes beef, pork, bear steak, buffalo hump (now a medical condition!), antelope, venison and prairie chicken. Here's the view from the saloon doors. It shows three more of the buildings on the left side of Laramie Street. The one on the left is the bank. This picture from 'Hazzard in Hollywood' brings us back to the northern end of the street. This building, as far as I can tell, replaced the bay-fronted building seen above. I thought I'd finish the Laramie Street pictures with this great shot of Hank Duke from 'Go West, Young Dukes'. Notice how the brickwork is already coming apart at the seams. Maybe it was just as well that they knocked it down before the adoption of high-definition TV!

Moving to the right of the saloon (down on the aerial view) we get to Sleepy City's hardware store. Amongst the items it sells are: barbed wire, fence posts and shovels. Turning right from the last picture we can see Becky's Dry Goods and Sundies. Jeeter's blacksmith shop is tucked away in the corner behind Becky's. The livery stables, seen here in 'Hazzard in Hollywood', are right at the southern end of Laramie Street.

Here's a better shot of the chapel/schoolhouse. This balcony is on the corner of the building opposite the chapel. It's where Bo and Luke fire their arrows from near the end of the episode. The first arrow goes straight through the hood, but the second miraculously manages to go over the windshield and turn around before embedding itself in the steering wheel. On the right is Jim's gas, feed and grain store. I guess this must be Possom Hollow's only resident. The gas pump is even older than the ones at Cooter's! Thadius B. Hogg's Golden Palace Saloon looks very smart in this shot from 'Go West, Young Dukes'. You can just make out the chapel/schoolhouse under the sign. I have no idea what the large building behind the horses is; this is the only episode where it can be seen, and this is the best look we get. If anyone has an answer, let me know.

This is the view from the door of the Coffin Works in 'Double Dukes'. It shows the chapel/schoolhouse in the main part of Laramie Street as well as the corner of the building that's below and to the right of the Coffin Works on the aerial view. Welcome to Possom Hollow, population 1. When I first went through the early episodes for this thread I could never work out where this scene from the end of 'Deputy Dukes' was filmed; now we know! Here's a full view of the front of the Coffin Works, also from 'Deputy Dukes'. The building is not identified as the Coffin Works in this episode (the Coffin Works' first appearance is in the following episode), and we never see the side. In all the other pictures I've found online it is the town hall, with much narrower windows, a simpler façade and the sloped roof that we saw when it was the Hazzard Cotton Mill in 'Reunion' (see links above). The bay-fronted building on the left is the same one we saw in the previous post. The first chapel (above) is just visible between the buildings. On the right is Rosco's house. This picture gives a better view of the bay-fronted building.
-
Another picture of the chapel here, just to show its position relative to the Coffin Works. The wooden platform that Boss and Rosco are standing on has gone before we see it again in 'Double Dukes'. Also, notice that the tower on the chapel is enclosed here, but open with a bell in the 'People's Choice' picture (above). Here's the side of the Coffin Works from 'Money to Burn' with the 'Double Dukes' signage inset. This is the front of the Coffin Works that we see when Bo and Luke go to collect one of Boss's coffins. The building behind Bo is useful for confirming the location of other pictures. Next to the Coffin Works is this small house that you'll recognize from recent posts. It played the part of both Rosco's house and Granny Annie's house, yet Rosco never mentioned that it was his house when he was standing right outside it in 'Money to Burn'!

The combination of the picture of Rosco's (and Granny Annie's) house in this thread and JadedPhoenixBurning's recent query about the location of the Coffin Works has prompted me to take another look at Laramie Street. You'll find additional pictures in these previous posts: The Dukes in Hollywood Go West, Young Dukes Reunion Reunion Hazzard in Hollywood Hazzard in Hollywood Aerial view Because the set was torn down in 2003 I had no current pictures to work with when I first posted screengrabs, so it wasn't until I got an old aerial photo that I could really make sense of the screengrabs I had. Apart from the 'Laramie Street Farewell' site (previously mentioned) and the 'Seeing Stars Warner Bros VIP Tour' site there really aren't that many pictures of Laramie Street online. To fix that, I've collected screengrabs from several Dukes episodes that show most of the buildings that used to exist there. I'll warn y'all now: I'm going from top to bottom over the next six posts, so skip ahead if it doesn't interest you! I'll start with a labeled aerial view to make things easier. This one is actually from 1972 because the buildings near the trees are easier to make out, but the general layout seems about the same as when Dukes was filmed. At the top is Hogg's Heavenly Acres which appeared in 'Money to Burn'. I'm sure this was just woodland with a fence and some gravestones added rather than a permanent feature of Laramie Street. To the left is the crematorium. Here's the adjacent chapel as it appeared in 'People's Choice'. In this shot Bo, Luke and 'T.C.' Rogers are just about to interrupt Emery Potter's wedding. The fencing has been moved since 'Money to Burn', and the Hogg's Heavenly Acres sign has disappeared from the archway. By the time we see the same area in the Reunion movie, the chapel has gone.

The Coffin works?
HossC replied to JadedPhoenixBurning's topic in Dukes of Hazzard General Discussion
I've just skipped through 'Double Dukes'. The building is now referred to as "the old Coffin Works" and has a "For Sale or Lease" sign on the outside. Even though it's no longer used, the sign has been repainted since 'Money to Burn'. Heavenly Acres seems to have disappeared and the shots are framed so the chapel and crematorium are hidden (if they're still there). When Bo and Luke escape from the old Coffin Works they meet up with Rosco, Jesse, Daisy and Cooter. Bo claims they have been 20 miles away for the last three hours, but no indication is given to where this scene takes place relative to the town, farm etc. When the Dukes and Cooter are sitting around the kitchen table at the Duke farm they agree to split up and look for the imposters. Bo and Luke decide to go back to the old Coffin Works, Jesse and Daisy go for Chestnut Trail and Cooter takes Indian Springs. I didn't see an address given for the old Coffin Works. -
I spotted this one earlier when I was watching 'Money to Burn'. When Bo and Luke return to the Coffin Works in the hearse they hide out behind some bushes until Daisy distracts the law. In the shot looking through the bushes Bo is obviously wearing his yellow shirt, as he had been earlier in the episode: When it cuts to the shot from Bo and Luke's point of view they are wearing undertakers' outfits.

This is my version of MB Carver's race car from the season 6 two-parter 'Undercover Dukes'. It appears to be a 1984 Olds Cutlass with a different grille and a paint scheme designed to bear a passing resemblance to Terry Labonte's 1983 NASCAR Buick Regal. Terry Labonte made an uncredited appearance as part of the pit crew in 'Undercover Dukes'. Terry's car was sponsored by Budweiser, so the hood graphics have the MB Carver name in a Budweiser-like shape. The small stickers are the same fake companies used on Petey Willis's car (see above), although the colors of some have been changed. I did consider doing an overhead view, but couldn't find enough decent reference pictures to work from. The decals you would've seen are: Budweiser-like MB Carver logo on hood; "44" on the roof in blue with a red/white outline; script saying "Bo Duke" over the door. I'll come to the trunk decal below. Here's Terry Labonte's racecar from 1983 for comparison. This is where I need some help. I thought the text on the trunk would say something, but when I rotated and distorted it (see inset) all I could make out was "BEANUEFERIES". Am I missing something here, or did they just stick on some random letters to take the place of the Budweiser decal? I tried running it through an anagram program to see if they could've made anything better, but without luck; that was until I tried changing it to French. A short way down the list was the term "Beauf Inseree". Google Translate gives its meaning as "redneck inserted" - part of the NASCAR pre-race checklist I guess .

A bit of British reggae/pop from 1984. UB40 was the name/number of the unemployment benefit form when the band was formed. Their first album was called 'Signing Off', implying they were no longer claiming benefits (welfare).

The Coffin works?
HossC replied to JadedPhoenixBurning's topic in Dukes of Hazzard General Discussion
I'm afraid I can't help with the road, but I did have a quick flick through 'Money to Burn' earlier. Rosco gets called there by Boss when he's at Cooter's garage, and Boss tells him to be there in 10 minutes. I may have missed other references to its location because I skipped through the episode. Here's a couple of screengrabs that may help: There is a small chapel next to the Coffin Works with a crematorium on the side. Adjacent to that is 'Hogg's Heavenly Acres'. There are a couple of other buildings visible nearby in 'Money to Burn', but I think it's meant to be fairly isolated. -
A mellow track from the 1992 album 'Astronauts & Heretics'.
-
David Ragan is starting tonight's race in 19th with some big names behind him, so maybe he'll get a better result. Maybe you should call Stewart-Haas Racing - they're losing their US Army sponsorship at the end of the year, so could probably use the money .

I'd never noticed that either, but it looks like you're right. In 'Granny Annie' the house is mainly shown in close-up, and they've dressed it with bits of art and signs by the door. I think the biggest difference is the of lack picket fencing around the house. I have also read something about a larger house that was used on 'The Waltons' and Dukes. I think it was a reconstruction of the Walton house that was used in the Waltons reunion movies in the 1990s, not the original series. I wasn't planning a post about it, but I can dig around and post a couple of screengrabs if anyone's interested.

Buildings 10 to 12 haven't changed much since 'The Invaders', although building #13 now has the flat windows that we're more familiar with. The black shape at the top of the picture is a boom mic; not the only time it's seen in this episode! I thought I'd solved this question from Roger back in post #84 (second picture) when I found a business called "Bijou" over in New York Street in 'Big Brothers, Duke'. Roger, is it possible that you were thinking of the movie theater from this episode of 'The Waltons'? It must have had a change in fortunes since 'The Invaders', because it's clearly back in business. It was meant to be showing a double-feature (that's what John-Boy tells Sarah), but the only one mentioned on the marquee is the 1935 movie 'Forbidden Heaven' starring Charles Farrell and Charlotte Henry. The mailbox is appropriately outside the building that would become Hazzard's post office, although the entrance is covered by part of the movie theater. Here's Sarah waiting for John-Boy outside the Walton's Mountain School. This scene carefully hides the fact that the school is actually the church at the side of the square. The area between the church and Miz Tisdale's house gets transformed into a playground. The silhouettes behind the basketball hoop must be the buildings in the set we saw in second episode of 'The Invaders' (see above).
