  1. I think I've found the road you're looking for. It's called either Pico Canyon Road or Potrero Canyon Road depending on which map you look at. It's only about a mile south of the location I posted last night. Here's a screengrab from 'Big Brothers, Duke': And here's a picture from Google Maps: They seem to go up and down the same bit of road a few times in 'Comrade Duke' because the hill with the pylons on (which would be behind you if you looked in the direction of the photos above) appears several times. I'm not sure if the aerial shots were filmed here, but most of the ground shots were. Here's a link to the location on Google Maps. While watching the chase at the end of 'Comrade Duke' I spotted that the front tire on the patrol car was definitely punctured after the doors were ripped off, but miraculously fully pumped up when the car came to rest. The orange section in the blue part of the lightbar seems to have disappeared too.
  2. Here's the last couple of pictures from 'Southern Comfurts', and the last from season 2. The first is building #20, which becomes Boss's house later on, but is just a background house here. Opposite Boss's house is this house. I don't remember it being used for anything, but if you know differently, let me know. I've also been trying to identify the car with the white roof on the far left. It looks like something from the late 50s. (Unsurprisingly) MaryAnne is right. It's only a short scene with dialog and no stunts. The first picture shows buildings 9 to 12 as the camera moves down to the gazebo. They were changed quite a bit before Dukes started filming here a year or two later. The second shot shows that the 'Moss Hotel' sign was on top of building #2 back in 1978. It's visible in quite a few episodes of Dukes, even though no one ever stays there. The building behind Max (John Marley) would become Boss's bank.
  3. The area where Daisy picks up Natasha in the bi-plane looks like it may be an old airfield. I found this site that details a runway at Indian Dunes. It doesn't mention Dukes, but does say the runway was "used for filming of The Black Sheep Squadron TV series [1976-78]" and "also used by many other films & TV shows & rented from Newhall Land.†Not sure if this is the place, and the runway no longer exists, but you can check it out for yourself on Google Maps.
  4. You are correct Roger. Apparently there's a wedding going on in London tomorrow, so I thought I'd ask a question about an episode with a wedding. During the night here the BBC News channel shows half hour sections of ABC News, and I'd swear last night they used The Dambusters March for their wedding coverage music. I'm still trying to see the link between a royal wedding and the bombing of German dams in the Ruhr valley during WWII . Q. In 'Mrs. Roscoe P. Coltrane' where did Sue Ann say she'd come from?: A) Handlyville Center City C) Coreyville D) Capitol City E) Spring Pines
  5. You sound like me when I'm posting my Fan Art. There's always some detail about my pictures that bugs me, or I feel I didn't get quite right. Let me assure you, I think the rings look great. I can see why you'd have fun doing nebulae. I wouldn't know where to start, but can relate to the way you feel doing them. I'm not sure what a realistic color would be - apparently the universe is beige overall, but a bit of color here and there doesn't go amiss .

  7. This picture is slightly out of sequence because I wanted to keep all the 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt' pictures together. It's the freight depot (building #17) where Bo and Luke mistakenly pick up the crate containing marijuana in 'Mason Dixon's Girls'. I think the shelter from the bus station is still there just above the car roof, but I can't see the clock anymore. Also worth noting in this picture is that 'McDermott's Furniture Mart' has become 'Seth M. Berley & Co.' (you can see part of the sign to the left of the hay bales). It's visible in the background a few times, but I couldn't get a clear shot in season 2. Moving on to 'Southern Comfurts', during the search for the missing gray car containing the money, Uncle Jesse and Holly say they are going to look in Pine Springs. This was actually filmed in a car park next to Hazzard Square. The tower in the center is part of building #15 (most recently 'Tri-State Press'). The back of building #16 is shown on the left, and it's clear that it has no depth as you can see right through it. The area between Uncle Jesse and the tower is where the semi was parked in 'Route 7-11'. A second picture of the car park indicates it was probably used to store vehicles being used for filming as there is a line of what look like 1920s or 1930s cars in the background. Just to the left of the cab of Jesse's pickup what looks like the shell of a General Lee. A new building has been constructed on this site since filming. Bo and Luke head to Center City to look for the gray car. Here is the elusive gray car at 'Billy Jo Bob's Used Cars' which is actually building #25. We don't really get to see the building in this episode, except for the sign which I've inset. This part of Warner's backlot is known as 'French Street'. The dark blue car on the left is a 1960s Sunbeam Alpine.

    I've finally given in to the voice in my head that was telling me I should have done the 'DIXIE' decals properly, instead of copying the one that's at Cooter's. I've also done a version as it appeared in 'The Runaway'. In the pictures I had the wheels looked more copper colored, so I have adjusted them accordingly. The word 'DIXIE' was also in a copper color, rather than the black that was used later on the hood. All it needs now is a yellow bow .
  10. These pictures are from 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt'. They were not filmed in Hazzard Square (Midwest Street on Warner's backlot), but on New York Street, the next set over. I'll start with a map to show where this is relative to Hazzard Square. At the bottom left is the Hazzard County Building and Courthouse, with the bank roughly in the center at the bottom. As Bo and Luke arrive in Capitol City they pass a bakery (where the guy in blue is walking). I can't read the name, but I think the arced text says 'Italian Bakery'. This picture also shows how the street lights are mounted on square bases to allow them to moved around easily. This is the entrance to the Youth Center. It is right next to the bakery (the two girls in the previous picture were walking past the right end of the building). I marked its location 'A' on the map above. Finally from this episode is the exterior of the City Morgue. This was harder to track down due to the buildings opposite changing over the years. It's marked 'B' on the map. I've inset the sign from the wall which is just off the right of the picture.
  11. This one is from 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt' in season 2. When Rosco and Enos chase Bo and Luke (who are driving a blue van) through the alley between 'Fanny's Fabrics' and the hotel they scatter various debris revealing one of the lamps being used to light the scene.

  14. In the episode it is 'the county seat at Coreyville'. You're right, it is used as 'Central City General' in the 'Welcome Back, Bo and Luke'. I have a picture, but I'll save it until I reach that episode. I'm trying to keep these posts roughly in chronological order, so I'd thought I'd mention the street scene in 'Officer Daisy Duke'. It was filmed on location in Piru, California. You can check out how the town looks today on Google Maps. The junction of Main Street and Center Street is still recognizable. At the eastern end of Center Street is the bridge used in 'Luke's Love Story' in season 1. It has now been bypassed by new bridge, but is still standing. Old Telegraph Road was also used in the race in 'Luke's Love Story'. In 'Jude Emery' we see a rare scene shot at night (many other scenes where shot at night, but lit to look like daylight). I've included this picture because I think it's the only time we see the police sign (over Bo's shoulder) illuminated. Back to daylight and on to 'Return of the Ridge Raiders'. Bo and Luke go to visit 'Coop the Snoop' in 'the state capital'. Tri-State Press, where he works, is actually building #15 in Hazzard Square (previously used as the Hotel Metropole). Although it's been visible in earlier episodes, I finally got a clear shot of the Barber Shop (building #4) next to the bank. Sometimes part of the window signage is missing, and the pole on the front moves around, but it stays virtually the same for quite a while. When 'Coop the Snoop' arrives in Hazzard, rather than using the bus stop at the Drug Store, he gets off at the bus station. This is located at the rear of the church (previously used as a Colonial City loading bay) which is marked #17 on the map. Finally, at the end of the episode Boss breaks ground for the new 'Senior Citizens Center' (I know there should be an apostrophe after Citizens, but there wasn't one on the banner). This was filmed between the church and building #19 (the same place as the 'Road Closed' sign above, but from the opposite angle). I'm not posting a picture because I'm limited to 4 pictures per post, and there wasn't much to see anyway.
  15. Check out the instructions I posted recently in greenmonsta79's Just bought a 69 Charger! after years of looking thread. Send me a PM if you have any problems.

  19. I'm starting this post with a mystery building. At the end of 'Duke of Duke' we see the 'State Courthouse'. It's a large building that I can't find in the current WB backlots. If anyone knows where the building is, please let us know. Here's a longer shot. The building on the right appears to be just a façade, indicating that it's a movie set rather than on location. Moving on to 'The Runaway', we finally get a clear look at the 'Hazzard County Telephone Company'. This changes very little between episodes, although it's sometimes the 'Hazzard Telephone & Telegraph Co.' and occasionally has a Western Union sign on the window. Just for a change I thought I'd include an interior shot. Here we see telephone operator Mabel/Myrtle Tillingham talking to C.J. Holmes' men. The one closest to the camera is Lance 'Col. Decker' LeGault.
  20. Roger and BL were both correct there. Seeing as today is St. George's Day (patron saint of England) it's got to be a question from 'Duke of Duke'. Q. What drink did Uncle Jesse offer Gaylord, saying "... it's about as close as we get to class around here."?: A) Earl Grey Tea Assam Tea C) Darjeeling Tea D) English Breakfast Tea E) Sassafras Tea F) Lapsang Souchong Tea
  21. I've finally worked out which song chainsaw's post was about. The song 'Whiskey Man' appears towards the end of the movie 'Moonrunners'. It's by Lee Clayton, but doesn't seem to be on any of his albums (I only checked ebay and Amazon), and Google doesn't list much other than it was used in 'Moonrunners'.

  23. Building #31 sees a lot of changes in season 2. The doorway seen in the last post has disappeared by 'Duke of Duke' and the impound yard is back, although with wire gates instead of wooden doors. This is the scene where Bo, Luke and Gaylord are painting the road signs. These next 2 pictures show Daisy on her way to meet the boys with her food hamper. The first shows a sign for 'Jean Paré Cosmetics'. The second gives the store name as 'City Drugs'. The phone booth and 'Hazzard County Gazette' newspaper stand frequently appear outside Hazzard Theater. Initially I wasn't sure where this store was located, but then 'Officer Daisy Duke' came to my rescue. Daisy gives Boss a parking ticket outside this store and there are enough clues to identify it as building #26 (just across the road from Rhuebottom's). The store also sells 'Darleen Perfume' and has a sign saying 'Snack Shop'.
