  1. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  2. This picture was left over from 'Lawman of the Year'. Coy and Vance are trying to avoid Rosco and want to sneak into the post office to check the wanted posters. They park in the alleyway between buildings 12 and 13. Great plan if it weren't for four things: they park under a sign that prohibits parking in the "alley way" [sic]; they enter the post office through a door marked "Postal Employees Only"; the door they go through is on the wrong side of the alley (it was last seen as 'Uncle Charlie's Upholstering'), the post office is the other side; Rosco is outside the church with a clear view of the alley. In 'Coy Meets Girls' Coy and Vance visit 'Apex Rent-A-Truck' to find out who knew about them renting a truck (it got hijacked). The rental office is building #25, which was still Boss's used car lot in the previous episode. Here's a better picture of the house next to Boss's from 'The Hazzardgate Tapes'. Amongst other things it was Doc Petticord's house back in 'Duke vs. Duke'. Otis Plunkett makes his one and only appearance in 'The Law and Jesse Duke', but for some reason we don't get to see his shop until Coy and Vance rent some camera equipment in 'The Hazzardgate Tapes'. Maybe his shop moved, because in 'The Law and Jesse Duke' he appears from a different direction when he reports that his shop has been robbed. It's building #5.
  3. It's just across the field - I think Google Earth measured it just under 1km (about 0.6 miles). The 'Granny Annie' jump was here, where Perkins Road crosses the railroad.
  4. Everybody got that one right - I must be making them too easy . Q. How many Texas Rangers did Jude Emery say there were in all the 50 states?: A) 12 37 C) 50 D) 94 E) 118
  5. The buildings of French Street are used a lot in 'Lawman of the Year'. This is the corner near O'Connor Paint Supply where the original impound yard was in season 1. This is Rosco walking down French Street. In the background is Skipper Ward's surplus store (building #1). Rosco is standing next to building #29 which was the Chickasaw DMV in 'Miss Tri-Counties'. The hole that Boss's jewel thieves use is on the sidewalk next to Boss's car lot (building #25, which seems to be unchanged from 'Share and Share Alike'). In the background are a couple of buildings from New York Street. The one with the big columns is at the point maked 'D' on the map of New York Street. There's no long shot of the Hazzard Jewelry Store, but it must be somewhere around building #28. I like this shot because it shows the robbers inside the store as well as reflections of both Rosco on the sidewalk outside and Boss looking on from across the street. It looks like the word "Jewelry" has been misspelled "Jewlery" on the door.
  6. I'm going to take a guess here. From looking around the maps I think it was filmed just south of McWane Blvd in Oxnard, CA. Take a look for yourself on Google Maps. Here's a couple of screengrabs. In the first there is a double row of electrity pylons in the background (between Bo and Luke). I've inset a picture of the pylons I found near Oxnard. This picture shows the view from the top of the train. On the left is well-tended farmland, but on the right the land is a lot rougher. In the distance a narrow strip of water can be seen just to the right of the tracks. Lastly, the railroad jump in 'Granny Annie' was filmed less than a mile from here.
  7. Another good spread of answers, and this time the point goes to ... Roger. Q. In 'The Great Bank Robbery' Boss posts a couple of extra guards on the bank. They get called away to attend a (phoney) fire, but who starts it?: A) Jesse Bo C) Luke D) Daisy E) Cooter
  8. After the last post I thought another map of New York Street was needed. I've kept the 'A' and 'B' from the original map (post #23) and added some more letters (I hope there's enough of them!). The buildings with numbers 1 and 31 are in Hazzard Square (Midwest street), while numbers 25 to 30 are French Street. In the pictures above, The Mean Green Machine is first seen as it travels along the road between 'E' and 'F', but then crosses the sidewalk at 'F' as if it's come from the other road. The 'Bank of Capitol City' is at 'C'. Another reason for the new map is because the Dukes head to Capitol City themselves in 'Dukes Strike it Rich'. The camera must have been near the 'E', looking towards the 'G' for this shot. In the background are the previously mentioned 'Capitol City Savings & Loan' and the Record Shop. You can also see 'McKinsey's' which features in a later episode. This picture is looking in the opposite direction, towards the 'D'. The building on the left (behind the yellow pickup) was the 'Atlanta National Bank' back in 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt'. The doorway on the left is shown in close-up in the last picture. Here's Boss outside the 'County Hall of Records'.
  9. I'll kick off season 5 with some pictures from 'The New Dukes'. Here's Boss's house with newly painted shutters. As well as the arrival of Coy and Vance, season 5 also sees the arrival of The Mean Green Machine. All of the bank robbery scene was filmed in New York Street (standing in for Capitol City). In this picture is a record shop, the Law Offices and 'Ed's Cafeteria' (with the green and white awning on the right). Off the right of the picture is the 'County Hall of Records'. Capitol City also has a 'Fine Arts Theater'. I think we last saw this building as the 'Palace' in Atlanta in 'Enos Strate to the Top' back in season 3. Off the left of this picture is 'Capitol City Savings & Loan'. Finally The Mean Green Machine reaches its destination: the 'Bank of Capitol City'. Next time the New York Street set is used I'll post another map to make locations clearer.
  10. Am I missing something?. Barry Van Dyke played movie star Brock Curtis in 'The Dukes in Hollywood' in season 7.

    NASCAR news

    It happens to F1 drivers too. Last year Lewis Hamilton was fined $500 (Aus)for spinning his wheels and smoking his tires as he left the Australian GP. Back in 2000 Jenson Button was caught doing 230kph (144mph) through France in his BMW. At the time he was only 20 years old and restricted to diesel powered cars. I heard a rumor at the time that BMW paid his fine because of the great publicity for their diesel cars - don't know if there's any truth to the rumor. In 2003 Juan Pablo Montoya (then an F1 driver) was also caught in France, this time doing 200kph (125mph). He was less repentant, saying: “Who doesn’t go at 200 clicks on those motorways? I tell you, that car does 240kph no problem. I was taking it easy.â€. He then paid the fine in cash and got his wife to drive the rest of the way.
  13. I'll finish season 4 with this selection. In 'Share and Share Alike' Lulu decides that she should get a share in all of Boss's businesses. Here's her addition to the bank signage. Lulu also leaves her mark on Boss's Funeral Home. I've mentioned the Funeral Home before, but never been able to get a good view of the sign. It's building #30. I got this picture before Lulu's sign painter had a chance to change the sign. Boss took the patrol car to his own car lot instead of Cooter's so he could hide the stolen credit cards in the door without being seen. This is building #25 (recently seen as the Impound Yard), which is actually visible from Cooter's. I'm quite tempted by the red Mustang at $650, but I probably wouldn't buy a car from Boss. In 'The Law and Jesse Duke' the Jones Gang rob Jake Sumner's Photo Shop. This is building #28, which was previously seen as Pruitt's Printing in 'Mrs. Daisy Hogg'. The Jones's also robbed Otis Plunkett's TV store, but we don't get to see it in this episode. Watch this space, because he does get a store later on.
  14. I like a good spread of answers, but in this case there's only one winner, and that's ... Lizzy. It's nice to know that two of you thought the 'quack remedy' was British - I won't take it personally . Here's a grab of the sign in question (new question below): Q. In 'The Law and Jesse Duke' Boss enlists the help of the Jones Gang led by Alabama Jones, but what characteristic is shared by Simon and Floyd Jones?: A) Bald heads Beards C) Glasses D) Moustaches E) Mullets
  15. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  16. In an effort to stay one step ahead of Sheriff Little, Bo and Luke drop Daisy off and then drive around the streets of Chickasaw. This was filmed in New York Street, around the point marked 'B' on the New York Street map. Notice that the old Chevy pickup on the left and the yellow pickup behind the General (both with hay bales) were also parked near the dry cleaners two pictures back. I guess they drive just as quickly in Chickasaw as they do in Hazzard!. The General (and Sheriff Little) drive down this street on the way back to collect Daisy. I think the two houses in the background are the ones next to Boss's house. I had to wait until Daisy left the Chickasaw DMV to get a good shot. It's in building #29 on French Street. As the Dukes leave Chickasaw we get to see 'Moreton's Hardware'. There was a blurry, unreadable store between this and the DMV, which would make this building #27 (assuming I've allowed enough stores in French Street). I wonder whether some of these stores down French Street were used in other shows or created especially for Dukes. I also wonder whether the left window is reflecting the film crew. There definitely seems to be the reflection of a spotlight on the right of the door.
  17. In 'Nothing but the Truth' Uncle Jesse sends Bo and Luke into town to buy some groceries (including brown sugar). With Rhuebottom's shut they go to 'Martin's Emporium'. Regular readers of this thread will recognise it as building #17 (aka the back of the church). The fencing and trees from a few episodes back are still visible in the background. An episode later in 'Dear Diary' Rhuebottom's is back in business (Daisy goes there to get the new diary). Mr. Rhuebottom and his van appeared a few episodes earlier in 'Pin the Tail on the Dukes', but the store in the background still appeared to be closed. The next six pictures are all from 'Miss Tri-Counties'. I'm limited to four pictures per post, so I'll split them into the next. To try to stop Daisy winning Miss Tri-Counties, Boss prevents her from renewing her license at the DMV in Hazzard, so a quick journey to Chickasaw is required. Most of Chickasaw is actually filmed in French Street (behind the County Building). As the General enters Chickasaw it passes buildings 1, 2 and 3 from Hazzard Square, but redressed with new signage. Building #1 is now a dry cleaners, and I think the sign on the left says 'Printing'. All I can see for building #2 is that it has a sale on. The building visible on the right in the previous picture is shown here. Building #30, which was previously 'J.D. Hogg's Funeral Home', is now a hotel.
  18. In 'Miss Tri-Counties' Daisy is forced to visit the DMV to renew her license. The guy giving the test clearly asks her to read the third line on the eye chart, but the line she reads doesn't seem to appear on the chart (it's difficult to hear what she says, but I've included the subtitles in the screengrab).
  19. In 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' the impound yard moves yet again (although the main sign looks the same as the one in 'The Hack of Hazzard'). This time it occupies building #25, previously seen as a used car lot. I wonder if the blue car in the garage is the same Camaro that was in the impound yard in 'The Hack of Hazzard'?. Looking in the opposite direction we see Boss standing outside building #30. I couldn't get a clear shot of the sign, but it's the 'J.D. Hogg Funeral Home' (as advertised on the back of Miz Tisdale's cab). In the top left of the picture you can just see building #2 (still the 'Hazzard County Gazette') and the corner of the bank. As Luke swings from the bank in 'Pin the Tail on the Dukes' you can see that Gordon & Lowell are sharing their offices with 'First Trust Co.'. This is the inside of Billy Joe Fong's 'CB & Radio' store that was mentioned a few posts back. It's situated in building #5, and surprisingly we get to see the view out of the window. This consists of the back of either building 7, 8 or 9. I don't think Bo and Luke would have raced so quickly around the bend if that big metal fence had been there more often. The picture is from 'Miz Tisdale on the Lam'. I love the early '80s electronics he has for sale.
  20. You should have gone with your birthday Roger. Unbelievably, the ice cream parlor boasts 51 flavors (that's 20 more than Baskin Robbins). Belated birthday wishes to you Roger - you don't list your birthday, so I didn't know I'd missed it . Today the US President made an historic visit to Ireland. Sadly, I was working, and had to make do with watching it on TV. I'm pleased to report that Limo One didn't go missing, although it did get stuck. You can see the video here if you haven't seen it already. You can't blame Irish roads because it was just leaving the US embassy, so was technically still on US soil at the time . He later got a big cheer for saying "Is féidir linn" - "Yes we can" in Irish. I couldn't think of an original question from 'Limo One is Missing' so I have a more general one. Q. In many episodes there is a sign visible on a wall in Hazzard Square advertising 'St. Jacobs Oil'. Which country does this remedy claim to be from?. Is it: A) American British C) Dutch D) French E) German
