  1. I think this is another of Garrett's favorite groups :

  4. Hi Zrad, welcome to HNet .
  5. I spotted this knife in 'Too Many Roscos'. It's from the scene where Bo and Luke are tied up in the same shack as Rosco (although they haven't discovered him at this point). The main part of the handle is bone colored, so it may be the same as the one Sissy saw in 'Miz Tisdale on the Lam' (see above). The handle also features a fancy gold portion nearest the blade: I'll have to leave the identification of his one to you guys. Everyone here doesn't own a knife (unless they live in Limerick - joke for Irish readers there ), so I have no personal experience.
  6. I use Photobucket. They've increased the sizes you can post for free since I signed up.

  7. I keep adding pictures to my "unknown" folder, so it's great when I can pull a couple out and cross them off the list. I was actually trying to find a completely different location when I found this one. The pictures are from near the end of 'Hazzard Connection'. Most of the action takes place on either Carlisle Road or Potrero Road near Lake Sherwood. For some reason this very short scene was filmed nowhere near there. A few posts back I posted some pictures from Placerita Canyon Road. If I'd only kept following it I'd have found this place earlier. It's right at the end at the intersection with Sand Canyon Road. The houses in the background are still there, but they're now hidden by trees. Here's the view from a different angle with Placerita Canyon Road on the right. Click here to see how it looks today. If you zoom out of Street View and go about half a mile south from this intersection you come to Sable Ranch where the obstacle course from the game show 'Wipeout' is located. You'll have to zoom right in and have the 45 degree view turned on to see it properly, otherwise you'll just see unfinished blue shapes in a field.
  8. I can't really answer that question. If I'm just looking for a particular image, and I know where to find it, I can have a screengrab posted in under 10 minutes. With the patrol cars I may have to go through several episodes before I find one good picture. Along the way I might find other scenes to grab for other purposes, and also some of them need a fair amount of research.

    I plan to complete the Patrol Cars in Pictures thread ASAP, but that may still be a couple of months. It will include all seven seasons as well as both reunion movies. I don't have the 2005/2007 movies and don't really have any interest in them. I know I did the race car decals, but that was because I had assumed that the use of mainly stock logos would make it a relatively easy job. If I'd known the amount of work involved, I probably wouldn't have done them.

  9. David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser had cameos in the 2004 Starsky and Hutch movie, as did Dwight Schultz and Dirk Benedict in the 2010 A-Team movie, so there is a precedent for the original stars to appear in remakes. Having said that, it would need to be much better script than the last two Dukes movies to entice any of our favorites back (just my opinion, obviously).
  10. I try to skip through every episode - that's why it takes so long.

  11. chips (that's what you guys call fries, not what we call crisps )
  12. I've been proofreading all week, but it's about time I added some more patrol car pictures - there's only 2 seasons left to do.

  13. I love the idea that there's another kind of facts .
  14. I did. It's a shame Jeff Gordon didn't though - I think a win was the birthday present Garrett was looking for .
  15. You can have my two cents Roger. I read a few forums on this subject last night, and I believe there are a number of factors. The fact that she's a rookie may have had an influence on NASCAR's decision, although I don't see it as an excuse for her behavior. Her being a girl (they call female drivers in lower formulae 'lady racers' over here) is probably an indirect influence: NASCAR want viewers, and are probably banking on Danica bringing some new viewers with her. Suspending her would risk losing these new viewers, even if some of them are only watching because, to quote you, "she's a she". I find Danica's behavior the other night to be at odds with what I've seen before. I haven't seen any of the IndyCar series this year, but I've seen quite a few races from the previous two seasons, and I don't remember her doing anything like this. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
  16. Unfortunately, the uploader of that video didn't want anyone from my region to see it . I found HD footage of the crash . I've seen some of the male drivers behave like that; Danica obviously figures that to succeed, she has to be that stupid too. I don't mind a bit of nudging, it adds to the sport, but dangerous behavior like that should get an automatic suspension. If she'd tried it on the road she'd probably be in jail.
  17. You're right Garrett, it does have a good message. How about some mellow reggae? There Are More Questions Than Answers - Johnny Nash I first heard this song back in the '80s when the BBC used it for the Mystery Personality round in their sports quiz 'A Question of Sport'. The show's still going, but they no longer use this great tune.
  18. Welcome to HNet. Hope you enjoy your stay .
  19. It's not my sort of thing, but according to IMDb the episode was called 'Hold on to Sixteen'. It's episode 8 of season 3, and originally aired on the 6th of December 2011.
  20. Sorry Roger, I can't remember the answer to your question, but I have a related aside. Back in 1983 I had a Pac-Man watch which had Dixie as its alarm tune. How cool was that? Not only could I play Pac-Man on my watch, but it also had the General Lee's horn as an alarm. I wish I'd kept it - they go for a fortune on Ebay. When I did a quick Google search to confirm my memory of the alarm was correct I found that a similar watch can be heard on some versions of 'Rock the Casbah' by The Clash - click and listen at about 1:52. I can't hear it on the version used with the released video, but it does feature a convertible white 1970s Cadillac (a '75/'76 I think) with horns on the hood, and the director of photography was John Hazard - you can see that one .I think that's enough tenuous Dukes links for one post .
  21. I've just been flicking through 'Find Loretta Lynn' and given the number of bloopers I spotted, I think 'Find the Continuity Person' would've been a better title. I'll start with the scene at the Boar's Nest where Rosco and Enos's cars are chained together. In the close-ups the chains are clearly tied around the bumpers of each car, but in the long shot the chain seems to go around the front axle of Enos's car without touching the bumper. Then when the cars pull apart the chain is back on the bumpers, pulling the back off of Rosco's car and the front off of Enos's. That's how they appear for most of the rest of the episode, except for a couple of scenes when someone forgot. The lower left picture is when Rosco and Enos are following Jesse and Daisy (who's dressed as Loretta), while the lower right shows the cars when they hit the back of Jesse's truck. Both show that the two cars are complete, even though they were shown with their panels missing between these two shots. When Rosco and Enos descend the tree from where they've been spying on the Duke Farm, Rosco gets his belt caught on the way down (see inset). As Enos tries to help, Rosco swings about two feet to the left on a suspending cable (arrowed) - it's easier to see when moving. Finally there are continuity errors at the beginning and end of the concluding chase. As Bo and Luke leave the stockyards they are on a light dusty surface, but the close-up of the General's wheel spinning shows grass and leaves on the ground. Then at the end Luke gets Bubba to pull off to the side of a two-lane road, which changes to a dirt track in a grassy area when Bubba makes a run for it.
  22. I have good news and bad news for you. First the bad news: I can't find any reference to 'You've Got a Friend' being commercially available on DVD, VHS or download. The good news is that if you know anyone with the Hallmark Movie Channel it's being shown a few times this month: Tonight (05/07) at 10pm ET; Tomorrow (05/08) at 4am ET; Friday 05/18 at 6pm ET; Saturday 05/19 at 4am ET. There may be other showings that I missed. You can check for yourself on www.hallmarkmoviechannel.com - click on "schedule" just under the logo and look for it day by day. For some reason if you do a search it only gives the 4am showings (and shows them a day early).
  23. Who knows, if Dukes had been made a few years later we may have had a musical episode like they did with 'Buffy' and 'Scrubs'. I was originally going to go down the road of rewriting a well-known song from a musical, but Duke-ifying it eg. starting with the song 'Trouble' from 'The Music Man': Trouble with a capital "T" And that rhymes with "B" and that stands for Boss! Then I thought it would be fun to try and match existing songs from musicals to Dukes characters. Here's some suggestions to get you started - maybe together we can make 'Dukes: The Musical' : Uncle Jesse (while plowing the back 40) If I Were a Rich Man (Fiddler on the Roof) Boss Food, Glorious Food (Oliver) Enos (about Daisy) Hopelessly Devoted to You (Grease) Bo and Luke Anything You Can Do (Annie Get Your Gun) Daisy (to Bo and Luke) Goin' Courtin' (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers) Emery Potter Get Me to the Church on Time (My Fair Lady) I was a bit stuck for Cooter (I'm sure someone can think of something better), so I went with Can We Fix It? (Bob the Builder) Not strictly a musical, granted, but he was using the phrase "Yes we can" years before Mr Obama!
  24. Unlike the old timers who had MySpace online.
  25. Welcome to HazzardNet :).
