  1. I'm gonna say pink. Or rather I think it was like a salmon color but... LOL

    You say salmon and I say pink,

    You like tomato and I like tomahto,

    Salmon, pink, tomato, tomahto,

    Let's call the whole thing off.

    Apologies to George and Ira Gershwin, but MaryAnne has got it right again.

    Q. In 'The Law and Jesse Duke', Rosco and Cletus protest for more pay after reading the headline "Chickasaw Police Win Strike". What newspaper did they read it in?:

    A) Chickasaw Gazette

    B) Chickasaw Herald

    C) Chickasaw Post

    D) Chickasaw Times

    E) Chickasaw Chronicle

  2. I do have to report, Kasey Kahne was in a sprint car race driving his own sprint car and of the sounds of it had, what Rosco would call a horrendous crash! I guess his car summersaulted over the wall and flipped eight times. I have yet to see the video but read a little about it last night. Luckily he was able to walk away from the accident unhurt.

    There are a few videos of the crash on YouTube, none of them professional quality - here's one of them:

  3. Just like when news of Peggy Rea's death broke earlier this year, there only seems to be one source for this story at the moment. Wikipedia and IMDb don't have anything about it yet. Sadly, the Peggy Rea story proved to be true, and I suspect this will too. This has been a terrible year for losing cast members. It's almost worse that the story breaks on the day that Jimmie is celebrating his 85th birthday.

    Condolences to Christopher's family and friends.

  4. Looks like the Volo car didn't get any bids this time. I also checked out the Jalen Rose car (see above). As far as I can tell it sold for $100k - which is good for his charity. It's now up for sale again:

    1969 Dodge Charger General Lee

    The new owner has replaced Jalen's custom decals with standard General Lee ones and put it up for sale at $99,999.00 or best offer, even though it still has the wrong wheels. Either way, if you've got $100k burning a hole in your pocket, it's meant to be 1 of 4 that survived the TV series.

  5. I forgot to post a link to a blogspot I found whilst writing this thread. Check out dearoldhollywood.blogspot.com for a load of pictures of Hollywood filming locations. The link above highlights some Warner Bros films, and includes some great hi-resolution pictures of how Hazzard Square looks today (click on the pictures to enlarge them). It also shows how the backlots we're familiar with have been used in many other shows and movies over the years.

    I am now told that this gold Charger, which does not yet bear the Dukes war paint of orange and black, was actually LEE #8.

    I seem to remember LEE #1 started out as a gold car too. I wonder how many '69 Chargers were produced in gold, because you hardly see any today. I guess most of the ones still with us have had at least one respray since new, and gold isn't most people's first color choice (their first choice is of course orange :)).

    I'll dig out season 1 and see if I can work out which patrol car that is in the background.
