Thanks Capt. - I haven't come across any of these artists; they just don't play this stuff over here. I enjoyed the track you posted, so I'll check out some of the others now. Warning: that track does contain some bad language - doesn't bother me, but if it's not your thing, you've been warned.

Glad you guys are giving these a go. On the A-Z quiz I got 17/26 the first time, although it was more like 17/24 because I didn't know the president or the 'infamous' country (note to self: revise US presidents and geography). Thought I had it licked, but still only got 24 the second time around. Third time lucky - a couple of days on and I finally got 26/26. I guess lost_sheep was right - practise (practice) makes perfect .

I've just done some digging around, and I've found that Warner Bros.' website now has virtual tours and photo galleries for their exterior sets. You can find them here. It also finally gives me a name for the set used in 'Big Brothers, Duke' (see below), 'The Dukes in Hollywood' and 'Hazzard in Hollywood' - it's Hennesy Street. And for Mark, here's a clip from the finale of the 1962 movie 'The Music Man' where Midwest Street plays the part of River City, Iowa. The building near the start (around 26 seconds in) looks like the mysterious building that caused us so much head-scratching earlier in this thread. It appeared in Dukes as a hospital (see below) and the state court. Look out for a very young Ronny Howard near the end of the clip - 14 years before he returned to the square in 'The Shootist'. 76 Trombones - Music Man (1962)

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Great video Mark. I don't remember ever hearing the song before - maybe it wasn't a hit over here. Looks like it came out in 1987, just two years after Dukes finished, but the square looks quite different. I wonder what they were filming at the time - I doubt they dressed it just for the video. I liked the square with the '50s cars in it. I wonder how a '50s episode of Dukes would have worked after they did 'Go West, Young Dukes'. 'Back to the Future' came out in 1985, so if Dukes had continued it may have been a popular storyline. I had to look us the original clip that your video was based on - it's not Hazzard, but the stores wouldn't look out of place and the dog is better trained .

Welcome to HazzardNet. Your poll doesn't give many options for us members who live outside the US. I could vote 'southern' as I'm in Southern Ireland . You'll be pleased to know that there are other members in Ohio, so hopefully you'll get to know them.

I'm in Ireland. There's a guy a few miles away with a fairly recent Dodge Rumble Bee, and I saw some large new pickup from a distance when I was in England recently, but these older trucks don't even seem to turn up at American car shows. We are paying about twice as much as you guys for gas, so maybe it's understandable.

Nice truck Monster - looks like it's in perfect condition. I like these '70s and '80s trucks more than the new ones - maybe because they remind me of some of my favorite TV shows . It's a shame we don't get to see the old or the new ones over here very often .

This just gets better with every post. Keep up the good work Mark.

This commercial has been on TV for a few weeks now, but it's only just made it onto YouTube. It's something a bit different for Bell's Whisky (I shouldn't be plugging Scots whisky while living in Ireland ) - Axel F from Beverly Hills Cop played on whisky tumblers: Bell's Beverly Hills Cop Tumbler Orchestra

YOU mean YOU can't see the common word Mufn? - YOU must be ill .

Welcome to HNet Sissy. I only have one picture of the jacked up General without digging out my DVDs. I can add more later if no one else does. When the General got jacked up and had big wheels fitted, it was still only 2-wheel drive.

I know it's getting late here, but I'd swear the image in this video is moving when I stare at it .

You didn't miss it Roger, it didn't make the list. Here's Farrah Fawcett's 1976 Ford Mustang Cobra II. It's complete with a Farrah Fawcett mascot on the hood (I'm guessing they impeded vision, because I've never seen one ).

Of course I can Roger. Mrs. Oxford's boarding house (Enos's residence) also appears as the home of Mr. Winkle in 'The Haunting of J.D. Hogg' (I borrowed the picture from the Hazzard Square thread). Here's Rosco's house from 'Baa, Baa White Sheep'. It's only seen briefly, so this was the best long view I could get. There is a good close-up of the mailbox though. It looks to me as if Rosco's name originally had an 'E' on the end that's been scratched/peeled off. An episode later ('Mrs. Rosco P. Coltrane') they do spell Rosco's name with an 'E' on his office door. I'm not sure how many episodes it's spelt this way, but I know it appears without the 'E' in many others. NB. We see the door from the inside, but I've mirrored the image to make it easier to read.

I chose the simple black and white version of the video. If only there was a thread for these tricky one word song titles .

Something Better Change - The Stranglers

After seeing Ray Stevens on The Fall Guy earlier I thought I should post one of his songs. Misty - Ray Stevens Ray played country singer Webb Covington whose son was accused of a murder amid a music bootlegging storyline. Most of the action in 'Pirates of Nashville' takes place in and around the Grand Ole Opry and includes cameos by Dottie West and the Charlie Daniel's Band. It also guest starred Miriam Byrd-Nethery who appeared twice in Dukes (Rose Ellen in 'Double Sting' and Holly in 'Southern Comfurts').

This song came out in 1992, but to me sounds like it mixes part of with the backing of . With those ingredients you wan't be surprised that it's a catchy tune.

You'll be pleased to know that all is jolly well over here because that's just how we talk (not) . Family Guy is good at mocking the English as this scene shows (I think the image is mirrored to avoid copyright). My father and I actually waited outside Downing Street to see Jimmy Carter when he came to visit British PM Jim Callaghan - it must have been in the late '70s. Security wasn't as tight then - I bet you wouldn't get anywhere near them now.

I think the picture I used was an original, but there are replicas. There's a site for the surviving Duel truck here. There's also a thread I found by someone who created a great looking model of the Duel truck - it's here. If Rubber Duck's more your thing there's a site dedicated to all things Convoy, including all the main trucks, and especially the surviving Mack - it's here. There's someone in Japan who's recreated a 1:14 scale (I think) model of Rubber Duck's rig - it's complete with radio control and working lights, and the detail's incredible. The text is in Japanese, but the pictures speak for themselves. The site is here. Finally, if you like Smokey and the Bandit models then look no further than here. If you look around the site you'll also find pictures of loads of Trans-Ams and a Snowman rig on the Bandit Run. There's even a picture that looks like Snowman's rig got pulled over by the Hazzard Sheriff's Department .
