btw hoss, anyway of doing the re elect rosco for sheriff sign from first episode, one armed bandits ...
I haven't done Rosco's re-election poster from 'One Armed Bandits' yet, but I have done the one from 'The Revenge of Hughie Hogg' in season 5. The picture of Rosco isn't exactly as it appeared in the show because I went for the best quality photo I could find that was similar. Unlike some of the recent posters I've done, these typefaces are the closest I had, rather than starting from scratch. Otherwise, it's pretty close. Here's Uncle Jesse standing next to Rosco's poster in that episode:
Here's my version:
Here's the button badge that Rosco makes everyone wear (including Uncle Jesse in the picture above). I couldn't get a clear grab of this, or the flyer below, so the text is my best guess as far as typefaces are concerned.
And here's the flyer that Flash has in her mouth near the start of the episode:
The re-election poster is available to download as a printable PDF (Adobe Acrobat) file in the Dukes of Hazzard Downloads section of HNet along with the Carnival of Thrills poster. Both are US letter size, but will print without any problem on European A4 paper. There's also 10 different Dukes themed desktop wallpapers to download.

Brewing Up A Storm - The Stunning
Great track from 1990. Probably the best known track from this Irish rock band.

Some alternative rock from North Wales. This takes me back to my school days

Wipeout - Fat Boys feat. The Beach Boys
Fun video from the mid '80s. Maybe it's this version that makes people think that it was a Beach Boys song. 'Wipe Out' (two words, so I couldn't use it in this thread) was by
and covered by. Strangely,lists it as one word."Push" Matchbox 20I wondered why this song was so familiar when I don't have it, or remember it. Finally it dawned on me - it's part of
(along with a bit of 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)' by Backstreet Boys just for Garrett
). It's not the first time I've heard a song and realised I know it from a Weird Al polka medley .

I'm sure I wrote this down when I was asking the questions, but never asked it. I'm going to agree with waikiki and say c) Bear.

I recently purchased season 1 of The A-Team at a really good price, and for a second time I've found a filming location shared with Dukes (see here for the first). In episode 7, 'The Out-of-Towners', the action takes place in New York where a group of shop keepers is being hit for protection money. Some stock footage of New York is used, but most of the filming takes place on a backlot at Warner's that appeared in 'Big Brothers, Duke', 'The Dukes in Hollywood' and 'Hazzard in Hollywood'. Here's one end of the street from the A-Team:
Here's a close-up from 'The Dukes in Hollywood' (previously posted here). The Dukes are standing where the fake subway entrance appears in the picture above
Here's the other end of the street as it appeared in The A-Team (the Big Brothers building is just off to the right). This episode had a great supporting cast. The guy on the left is Robert Tessier who appeared as one of C.J. Holmes's heavies in 'The Runaway' alongside later A-Team regular Lance LeGault (Col. Decker). The guy an the right is Albert Popwell who famously played four different parts in the first four Dirty Harry films (he was the bank robber who received Harry's famous "I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?'" speech in the first movie - "I gots to know"). Their boss was Yaphet Kotto, who played Kananga/Mr. Big in the 1973 James Bond movie 'Live and Let Die'.
This end of the street is virtually unchanged from how it appeared in 'Big Brothers, Duke' (previously posted here, with other pictures of the street and a map). The signs for Chuck's Bar and the bail bonds store are exactly the same in both.

I got my copy in the post today. For anyone outside of the US, I found mine on ebay.co.uk:
Hot Rod Magazine - November 2011
The magazine came with a flyer for the guy's own website where I could've saved a few pennies. Prices on his site are (including P&P):
UK - £5.65, Europe/USA/Canada - £6.50, Rest of World - £7.75
www.themagazineman.co.uk (scroll down to section 5 - "Hot Rod/Ol Skool Magazines - Latest Issues")

Great instrumental track from 1961. Those of you on my side of The Pond may recognize it as
. Those of you in Ireland may recognize it as the closing theme from Ray Foley's lunchtime show on TodayFM. -
The episode you're after is 'Farewell, Hazzard', near the end of season 5. Boss forecloses on the Duke farm and Jesse and Daisy leave for an 80 acre farm in Hatchapee County owned by Ben Whately. Meanwhile, Bo and Luke stay behind to try to find out what L.S. Pritchard's really up to.
Here's the opening line about the baseball bat (it's about 2/3 of the way through the episode):

I was trying to resist this one. It's a piece of Europop by a former Danish model that seemed unavoidable in the summer of '94. It looks like you guys in the US missed out
.As a saving grace, this song did end the 15 week run of Wet Wet Wet's cover of The Troggs'
at the #1 spot in the UK charts. -
I know this isn't word association ...
From the excellent album Graceland - can it really be 25 years old?.
-
I have a cover of this by The Georgia Satellites, which would have been appropriate as they're from Atlanta, but that version doesn't seem to be online anywhere.

I've never noticed that before - I guess you're talking about the rather obvious camera mount.
Looks like they actually filmed John and Tom driving on location, rather than the usual studio shots with back projection. Here's one of the shots from the camera:
Sorry, but I can't help with the filming location for the prison. I'll let you know if I find out.

Thanks for your comments Mira.
I've got some more filming locations to post in the near future, but for now it's back to the square.
When I started this thread I looked for an aerial view of Warner's backlot that dated back to when Dukes was filmed. I've finally found one at www.historicaerials.com (as you can see by the watermarking on the second map). The first map is a current(ish) overhead view from Google Maps that I've included for reference. For clarity between the views, I've included a few of the original numbers:
3 - Boss's bank
15 - building with small tower/dome used as a hotel/Tri-State Press etc.
20 - Boss's house
22 - Cooter's
25 - used car lot/van rentals
I have pieced together the aerial view from HistoricAerials that claims to be from 1980 (they also have 1954, 1972, 1977, 2003, 2004, 2005), and superimposed it on the map above. The detail, especially with the older photos, is not what we're used to with current technology, but it's still useful.
The square itself is pretty much as it appeared in Dukes, although there is a street, with buildings on both sides, stretching down from building #15. I don't think that it ever got used in Dukes, and was torn down before we got a chance to see it. To the right of building #15 is the car park that appeared in 'Southern Comfurts' (see 2nd and 3rd pictures in this post). To the right of that is the old western set, Laramie Street. I think the saloon is the one on the left just above the '.com' in the watermark.
There is not enough detail to see the yard directly to the right Boss's house (Morgan's Glueworks etc.), but the outside props store (seen in the first picture of this post from 'The Dukes in Hollywood') is visible a little way below.
Above building #3 is the car park that played the part of 'Cedar City Fairgrounds' in 'Carnival of Thrills' (picture here).

In the first part of 'Carnival of Thrills', Diane Benson asks Bo "You don't care much about expenses, do you?" when he takes her "best show car" for his first trial practice. She was right, because he uses three different cars to make the jump!. Bo climbs into a 1972 Plymouth Fury, puts on his seatbelt and moves off. He then accelerates and takes off in a 1972 Plymouth Satellite. The car that lands and turns after the jump is a 1973 Ford Torino. Finally Bo returns in the 1972 Plymouth Fury he started with. If only they hadn't picked cars with such different grilles, they may have got away with it.

(little pun there....I mispelled mispeled)
I think I'll start a club for us folks who have trouble spelling.
Roger, you misspelled "misspelled" (or even misspelt as I'm English) - it's double 's' and double 'l' - I think you'd better start that club
-
Congratulations Ilaria, or should that be "congratulazioni". I hope you enjoy your month in the spotlight

hoss, do the now opening sign for the playpen too man, ill need it as well, anyways keep em commin man, cant wait to see more, anyways ttyl thanks and peace
I had to clarify which sign knightprowl was after. I was looking for a whole separate sign rather than just the banner underneath. I've included one of the original signs to show the juxtaposition of the two together. I wish they'd used straight line above and below the text - the wiggly lines were quite fiddly.
-
Looks like that's an end to the 'sweet' songs

That's pretty good going for one night's work Joe. You'll have to post some of your other works.

Hi Mira, there are a couple of posts about the show in this thread in the 'John Schneider/Bo Duke' section of 'Cast/Characters'. I knew I'd read about it last week, but it still took me a while to find it, so it doesn't hurt to say it again. The HazzardNet home page also has a post about it (currently second post down) including a preview of the show - I really should remember to check the home page more often
. Sadly, we don't get CMT here so I'll either have to wait for one of the satellite channels to pick it up, or find a place to watch it online
