  1. Well CD, I dug out my DVD, and you've helped me to answer my question about which episode the picture of East Potrero Road in this post came from (third picture down) - it was 'The Ghost of General Lee'. You're on the right road (both literally and metaphorically), but you're going in the wrong direction. The scene where the Sweetwater sheriff drops off the two bad guys is back past the other bridge, near the junction with Carlisle Road. Check out the inset tree from the Google Street View and compare it to the one behind the patrol car. This small structure in the field has changed slightly, but the fence in the foreground and the trees behind are pretty much the same. The bad guys end up where they began, although I'm sure the crash itself was filmed on a different stretch of road. If you clicked on the Google link then spin around and you'll see that the area to the right of this picture is virtually unchanged. The area to the left, including the section of road where the Sweetwater County sign was located, is now the car park for the Sherwood Lake Golf Club (the same one mentioned in the previous post - it's a par 54 course designed by Jack Nicklaus that opened in 2006). Don't confuse it with Sherwood Country Club across the lake - I'll be covering that later. Finally, and out of sequence (sorry), is another view of the bridge from my previous post. This is the view that the Sweetwater sheriff gets of the chase from up on the hill. As far as I can tell this land is part of Canyon Ranch. Their website claims it serves "the needs of feature films, photo shoots, commercials, as well as episodic television and music videos" but doesn't name anything that's been filmed there, and I can't find any references to Dukes using the ranch.
  2. Nice one Rosco83522. I remembered Hard Luck Jones, but couldn't think of the revenue agent. Now another question. Throughout 'Uncle Boss' Cooter wears an oily red T-shirt, but what does it say on it?: A) Already Gone Desperado C) Get Over It D) Take It To The Limit E) Take It Easy In case y'all hadn't guessed from the choices, it was the name of a song by The Eagles.
  3. There are several episodes that use other parts of Decker Canyon Road (see the second picture in the previous post - the one with the yellow sign on the right), but there are no interesting landmarks. That leaves me with these pictures that I wanted to post last week, but it took me a while finding the last scene (how I wish I screengrabbed it the first time I saw it). We're now continuing down East Carlisle Road, south of the previous two pictures. Several chases take place down this road, but the first easily recognizable feature is this bridge. I had a good number of screengrabs to choose from because it appears so often. The one I eventually chose is from 'Enos Strate to the Top' - most of the chase near the start of the episode is along this road. The background here shows just hills, but in the last 30 years it's been landscaped and is now part of a golf course. For the Google Maps view click here. This is the same bridge from down by the river (seen here in 'Mason Dixon's Girls'). The main picture shows water under the bridge, but in 'Uncle Boss' the Dukes were able to hide under the bridge because the bed was dry (see inset). Another familiar feature down this road is this small rocky hill. The picture I've chosen is from 'Enos Strate to the Top'. See how it looks today on Google Maps. If you looked at the Google link above you'll have seen that there's a small bridge on the right. When Dukes was filmed there was just a slighly broken white fence leading to this bridge, and cars regularly drive in and out of the side road. Today the white fence has been replaced by a stone entrance and a set of electric gates. The picture is from 'Mason Dixon's Girls'. There may have been some filming further south, but when East Carlisle Road becomes West Carlisle Road it also becomes a private road, so the Google Street View cars could go no further.

    Hi Jessica. I'm guessing you didn't turn on Private Messaging when you set up your account. It's quite easy; just click on 'User CP' (User Control Panel) in the menu bar at the top of the screen, click on 'Edit Options' about half way down the list on the left, then put a tick in the 'Enable Private Messaging' box and 'Save Changes' (at the bottom).

    Once you've done that we can discuss what you want for your banner.

    Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  9. I see the description of the jail sign says "Exhibits slight scuffs ..." - I don't anyone would doubt that this had an authentic connection to Rosco .
  10. Are you sure you don't mean Lulu . Maybe Dana circa 1970 for Daisy.
  11. Brian Cowen was the right shape for the costume. As the phrase nearly goes, "If the suit fits, wear it".
  12. Surely an Irish Dukes of Hazzard should be about illegally transporting poitín .

  14. It's got nothing to do with Haley Barbour, but a story I read this morning did remind me of Boss Hogg. A group of thieves in Manchester, England spent a considerable amount of time tunneling 30m (100ft) into a Blockbuster store to steal a cash machine. It not that far from the plot of 'Lawman of the Year'. You can see the full story here.
  15. It does come with a wide and varied selection of autographs including Lee Meriwether, Sheldon Cooper's fourth favorite Catwoman (they were: Julie Newmar, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry). I'm not sure that driving around with those dynamite arrows on view is a good idea, although they'd be good for car shows. Sadly it's a lot out of my price range, but it would be nice to see what happens to it.
  16. Dragnet Another of Tom's '80s movies. Here's a couple of Tom Hanks funnies from somuchpun.com:
  17. Tom Hanks Sorry, it's what I thought of first .
  18. Maybe she was confusing him with Huggy Bear - an amusing mix-up considering some of Governor Barbour's past comments .
  19. I was going to post a question earlier tonight, and it was going to be "What's the next question, Roger?". Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure of the answer, so I won't be posting it now . As Roger said, most of the last questions have been posted by himself or myself (with a few by Brian). If you have a challenge, feel free to post your question. Just don't leave us hanging too long for the correct answer .
  20. Well spotted Roger. I'd read the story of the pardons on the BBC, but they didn't make any Boss Hogg references. I try to avoid CNN in case I see Piers Morgan - it was nice of you guys to take him, but don't transmit him back here . I watched a video I found about Barbour, and thought I was going to be disappointed about a Dukes reference until this caption came up near the end (it's a shame that CNN can't spell, although I'd expect such inaccuracies from Fox ):
  21. There's actually a couple on the first page of this thread, but I uploaded them as attachments before I set up a Photobucket account. You don't get a close-up; from what I can find, he's supposed to be the guy with the hat (second from the right). So that non-members can see the picture, here it is:
  22. Ben is right near the beginning (just over four minutes in). When Big and Little Enos arrive at the Truck Roadeo they ask him where they can find Bandit (Little Enos even calls him Hoss ). He wasn't credited in the movie, and IMDb just calls him 'Trucker with the redhead'. Sonny's performance is also uncredited. IMDb refer to him simply as 'Motorcycle Cop'. As Snowman would say, "That's Mr. Evel Knievel. He snuck in my back door when I wasn't lookin'."
  23. Seeing as the 'Boyish' theme didn't work out, I'll continue with another legend . This song may be familiar from its appearance in The Blues Brothers, I think in the scene when they're heading to Bob's Country Bunker (where they have both kinds of music!). Sadly, this song and John Lee Hooker's other track from the movie ('Boom, Boom') failed to make it on to the soundtrack CD. Luckily I have them on other albums.
