  1. 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 . Bobby Van - Take me to Broadway (Small Town Girl, 1953)
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 .
  5. This just gets better with every post. Keep up the good work Mark.

    Commercials

    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
  7. YOU mean YOU can't see the common word Mufn? - YOU must be ill .
  8. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  9. 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.
  10. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  11. I know it's getting late here, but I'd swear the image in this video is moving when I stare at it .
  12. Bem-vindo ao HazzardNet Alex. Outro país com um Dukes of Hazzard fã . Welcome to HazzardNet Alex. Yet another country with a Dukes of Hazzard fan .
  13. 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 ).
  14. 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.
  15. I chose the simple black and white version of the video. If only there was a thread for these tricky one word song titles .

    One Word Song Titles

    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').
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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 .

  23. I'm going country again: I actually knew Elvis Costello's version first, but now I have both .
  24. I checked my notes, and I think it was 'A Baby for the Dukes' that had the horses. I think the answer to the new question is 'Undercover Dukes'. If I remember correctly, the address of the Duke farm varies depending on the episode. It's either Old Mill Road, Mill Road, or Mill Pond Road. I can't remember the address for the Davenport farm right now, but I'll post it if I remember before anyone else posts it.
  25. As y'all know, I'm not from the US, but I'm aware that a lot of you are. Since I've been on HNet I've made a conscious effort to try to spell words the American way (when I remember there's a difference) - I just thought it would make things easier. George Bernard Shaw said "England and America are two countries separated by a common language.". We have trousers and pavements, y'all have pants and sidewalks (although trousers are called pants here in Ireland), but sometimes we even spell common words differently. I found the following spelling test on quiz site Sporcle earlier. It gives the US spelling of 44 words and you have to enter the British spelling. It was probably easier for me being British, but I got 40/44 before the time ran out. Have a go and post your results: American vs British English Spelling Test If that's too easy for you, try the A-Z of these hard-to-spell words: A-Z Spelling Bee
