    I can see the defense argument already ... "No Mr. Best, we promised you 5% of 5% of 5% of all Dukes of Hazzard merchandising revenue containing Sheriff Rosco's likeness."

    Well done to the pair of you. Q. In 'Luke's Love Story', what was the number of Cooter's green and yellow race car (that gets stolen by Turk)?.

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

    Looks like I've got y'all stumped. Hint: Think of a Civil War commander before he made general.

    The answer I was looking for was 'Bonner State Prison': Q. In 'Cletus Falls in Love' a poor delivery driver attempts to cross the road to the bakery with a tray of pies. What's the name of the pie company on the delivery truck?.

    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.

    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.

    There's a reason that Lizzy was confident about poodles: Does anyone remember anybody in Hazzard owning a poodle?. A later episode adds the name 'Pauline's Poodle Parlor'. PS. Happy Birthday Lizzy - I hope you got something more than a point in the trivia contest . Q. Name the prison that appears in 'Opening Night at the Boar's Nest'.

    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.

    Best wishes to JESSI DUKE, i1976, LizzyJackson-Davenport and to Jami Lee Hogg who also has a birthday today. We need a birthday cake smiley, but in its absense, here's a beer .

    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.

    Well done to Roger and MaryAnne. Here it is: Q. In season 1, what type of domestic pet was catered for by the store next to the bank?. (In later seasons the store became the barber shop)

    Great pictures Brian, thanks for posting them. The car in the foreground here looks like the one from Repomen. I was going to say Ford LTD, but the page over at imcdb.org suggests that while an LTD was used in some shots, the one that got wrecked was a Galaxie 500.

    I'm doing OK thanks. It was good to see your name popping up on posts again. How's life in the "Great White North"?.

    I said there was another black and white sequence, and here it is. Towards the end of the chase they drive through the set of a war movie. You may recognize this building from near the cotton mill in Reunion. Just like the scene with Gabby driving the General (see above), when this building is seen a second time the picture has been mirrored (the writing is obviously backwards). Also the General briefly appears with an uncharacteristic '10' on the door. Maybe that's what Daisy saw when she says "Did you notice anything weird back there?". Another picture from the war scene. I think this is a beautiful atmospheric shot with the light breaking through the clouds, highlighting the curves of the General. Blink and you'll miss it - it's only on screen for less than a second. The building in the background was the cotton mill in Reunion aka. Laramie Street's courthouse. Finally, everybody returns to Hazzard for the groundbreaking ("And I do mean everybody."). This is how French Street looks in daylight. The new building #25 is the one with blue awnings - the scene when they leave the Bloody Bucket was filmed here (see above). The building in the background with the green roof is a front that's been added to one of the sound stages so that it doesn't look like a sound stage!. I thought it appropriate that the final picture was an overview of the square (taken from somewhere near building #1). The crowds are gathering for the concert of Toby Keith and Anita Blackwood, and as is well in Hazzard once again.

    After Daisy rescues Bo and Luke they all escape in the General with Gabby. The following chase leads them all around Warner Bros' back lot, although not in a particularly logical order. The first car full of bad guys gets taken out by Cypriano And Deacon somewhere behind one of the main sets. Next the General appears in the unnamed set not far from where Daisy did her stunt work earlier. They go down the same street twice (filmed from different angles) before crashing through a fake wall onto the set of the first of many movie shoots. The next movie set they drive through is over near the Forest Lawn Drive entrance. If you look at the map that MeadowMufn posted here, it's the building in the center at the bottom. The ambulance then joins the chase. The chase then plows straight through Laramie Street (despite the fact that they were heading in the opposite direction in the last scene). Another movie ruined as the actors have to get out of the way. This must have been one of the last movies filmed in Laramie Street as it was only used for nine days of filming in the five years before it was torn down (according to this article).
