  1. Thanks DukesLuvah, I never thought to check YouTube. I think this is the video you are referring to: Bo & Luke Duke

    Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  3. I'd forgotten that one, but by a strange coincidence I watched that episode at the weekend. They didn't even try to over-dub her mouth saying something else.
  4. It's a good guess as the Dixie name was used several times, but the real answer is a bit more obscure. The name was 'Armstrong-Peterson Shock Absorber Co.'. Now to 'Jude Emery': Q. Which singer did Bo say Jude Emery sounded like when they first met?: A) Merle Haggard Waylon Jennings C) Charlie Daniels D) Johnny Cash E) Buck Owens F) Mel Tillis
  5. These types of continuity errors happen quite regularly, especially with car crashes/chases. I've highlighted a couple in other threads eg. in 'The Ghost of General Lee' Rosco crashes into the same white car twice during one chase. I've also mentioned a couple of geographical errors in the Hazzard Square thread. To be honest, I only really notice them when I'm looking for screengrabs. Also, it's not like Dukes is the only TV show/movie that's guilty of this; I've watched episodes of 'The A-Team' where a completely different van (even with round headlights) makes a jump and then they cut back to the regular one. Maybe the precedent for Dukes was set by 'Moonrunners' where the damage to Bobby Lee's car changes between shots .
  6. In 'Road Pirates' Bo and Luke visit Colonial City, however the loading bay is actually at the back of the church on Hazzard Square (marked #17 on the map). There is a wider view above in the post relating to 'Route 7-11'. The building in the background of the first picture is the same building that is in the background of the 'Road Closed' shot above. This loading bay gets used in a couple of other episodes that I'll show in the future. Now, from 'The Ghost of General Lee', another example of strange continuity when you know the layout of the square. I've set it like a storyboard to demonstrate: A. General Lee leaves the impound garage, now located in building #31 (that's buildings #1 and #2 opposite). B. As it exits it crashes into Rosco's car as if they've just left Cooter's (#22). C. Rosco hits a fire hydrant outside building #31 D. (A little later in the chase) A car reverses out from the impound garage. E. Rosco has to swerve to avoid the reversing car (note that the fire hydrant has gone, but the road is still wet from the previous stunt). F. Rosco crashes through the doors of the impound garage. G. Rosco exits the impound garage by crashing through the same doors (shot from a different angle and framed differently). H. Rosco crashes into the furniture store (#10) as if he was coming from the direction of the church.
  7. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  8. Must be why Boss had to use the coffins from his coffin company to transport moonshine and used bank notes .
  9. None of these ladies (to my knowledge) have been in Playboy, although several Playboy models did guest-star in Dukes. Mary-Margaret Humes made her acting debut in Dukes and appeared in 3 episodes of 'The Fall Guy'. Shawn Weatherly made her acting debut in Dukes. Rhonda Shear appeared in one episode of 'The Fall Guy'. Roger had the correct answer, which was All represented their state in the Miss USA beauty pageant. Here are the states they represented: Jeannie Wilson was Miss Texas in the 1968 Miss USA Beauty Pageant. Mary-Margaret Humes was Miss Florida & 3rd runner-up to Miss USA 1975. Shawn Weatherly was Miss South Carolina 1980, Miss USA 1980, and Miss Universe 1980 Rhonda Shear was Miss Louisiana 1975. Q. In 'Route 7-11' what was the name of the shock absorber company that was on the side of the semi that Bo and Luke drove?.
  10. You've only got to wait another 2 weeks, then it's OK .
  11. One last picture from 'Gold Fever'. I got a better shot of the furniture store, and I think the name is 'McDermott's' (NB. I have tweaked the contrast and color balance to try to get it clearer). To the left, 'Julius Berg' has now become the more familiar 'Hazzard County Telephone Company' (I'll post a clearer picture later). Here's the closer shot of 'Fanny's Fabrics' (building #12) I promised in the last post. This is from 'The Meeting'. Also from 'The Meeting' is the General by a 'Road Closed' sign. This is taken between buildings #18 (the church) and #19. This shot shows the familar front of the 'Drug Store', although the 'Bus Stop' signs have disappeared. The 'Theatre' (UK spelling) has become the 'Hazzard Theater' (US spelling). In the background on the left is building #4 which has changed from the 'Poodle Parlor' in season 1 to the 'Barber Shop'. All of these are visible in the earlier episode 'Gold Fever', but only in the background. They all stay relatively the same throughout season 2, although a pay phone or phone booth is usually outside the theater (can be either side) and a blue sign is sometimes present on the wall between the drug store and the theater.
  12. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  13. Welcome to HazzardNet Bobby. Seems like a lot of folks joining recently are not only fans themselves, but also have children who love the show. Hope you enjoy your stay here.
  14. Bullitt Possibly the greatest movie car chase ever.
  15. Judging by my experience of people and alcohol I'd say that as the dwarfs start drinking they'd stop being Bashful and probably become Happy for a while. This won't last as they'll soon become Grumpy and Dopey before turning Sleepy as the evening progresses. If they've overdone the 'shine they may even have to call the Doc in the morning. I tried to get all seven dwarfs in, but even getting in six wasn't Sneezy .
  16. Congrats to BL, and I'm Roger knew it too. "Big" JIM Downey was from Dixville. Apologies to anyone trying to view pictures I've posted over the past couple of days, it was beyond my control. I use photobucket to host them, and it was down for between 24 and 36 hours. It's been back up for about a day now, so hopefully all is well again. I have a confession; Bo and Luke repairing fences with their shirts off never did anything for me . Luckily, as well as Daisy, there were plenty of good looking women guest-starring in Dukes. Q. What links the following four?: Jeannie Wilson ('Mary Kaye's Baby' - Mary Kaye Porter, 'Treasure of Hazzard' - Laura Bardsley), Mary-Margaret Humes ('Mason Dixon's Girls' - Tinker), Shawn Weatherly ('Coy vs. Vance' - Billie Ann), Rhonda Shear ('Cooter's Confession' - Flossie). A) All also guest-starred alongside Lee Majors in 'The Fall Guy'. All represented their state in the Miss USA beauty pageant. C) All appeared in Playboy. D) All made their acting debut in Dukes.
  17. Onto season 2 now, and these first grabs are from 'Gold Fever'. Dan's Auto Supplies has gone, and Victor's Bail Bonds has taken its place in building #6 (it's not too clear here, but I have a better image of this to come later). Also in this picture is a side view of building #7, showing that as well as being a drug store it is also an ice cream parlor and the bus stop. On the front the sign now says 'Drug Store' instead of 'Pharmacy' - there were no clear shots in this episode, so I'll add them later. 'Fanny's Fabrics' in building #12 now has better signage on the windows (looks like the dry goods store didn't last long). I have a close-up to come later. On the other side of the alley, building #13 has now become an unnamed hotel. Just a long shot here showing buildings #13 - #18. The one at the back, behind the white truck, is the one Rosco was spying from in 'Route 7-11'. As previously mentioned, this has now been replaced by a larger building. This is Bo and Luke climbing across the roof of building #3 (the bank). In the upstairs windows is signage for 'Gordon & Lowell' - more attouneys at law. When you know the square's layout it makes you wonder how the boys climb across roofs at one side of the square and somehow jump down onto Cooter's at the other. This happens again in 'The Meeting'.
  18. Welcome to HazzardNet :)

  19. Hopefully the Hazzard Square thread I started should help you out with the town and its buildings. I found another map while watching 'The Meeting' in season 2. The bad guys are plotting the location of the General on a map in the sheriff's office. Just like one of the previous maps that MaryAnne identified, this one had been mirrored. Flipped back the right way it looks like this: I've added the orange boxes to highlight the readable names: Sheridan, Ballston, and ????ville. After some dead ends in New York and Virginia I found Ballston (marked with the 'A' on the map below) and Sheridan close to McMinnville about 40 miles south-west of Portland, Oregon: Here are the 2 maps side by side: If anyone's curious about the car they used for the General it's a '70s Matchbox model of the very rare Monteverdi Hai. The real ones were powered by a 450hp V8 Hemi, and now sell for around $1m. I'm sure Bo and Luke would have had fun driving it (if they'd welded the doors shut).

  22. The full guide can be found in this thread, but the key instructions are: "After you login, choose UserCP->Edit Avatar and put the URL to your avatar or upload your avatar." You'll find 'UserCP' on the menu bar at the top of the screen. For new members the avatar options are grayed out until you get through your 'probation' period (I think it's 10 posts, so you should be OK). If the options are still grayed out I'd suggest you send a PM to one of the moderators. Regarding the picture you choose, there are certain restrictions on the size of file you can use (excuse technical bit): the picture should be no bigger than 150 x 150 pixels and have a file size under 19.5kb. To put this in context, most users have an avatar about 100 x 125 pixels, so that's about the size to look for. If you need any more info or help just post your question in this thread or send me a PM.
  23. You're right Roger, and I can only plead laziness. I had 'Jim' in my notes, but went to IMDb to double-check the spelling of 'Downey' and did a cut and paste of the name from the episode summary to save typing it - turns out they had 'John' (although it correctly identifies him as 'Jim' in the cast list) and I didn't pick up on it. Sorry for any confusion.
  24. Insomnia, or just up early?.
