  1. Here's the next set from season 1. This time buildings 7 to 12. Building #7 originally had a sign saying 'Pharmacy'. This screengrab is from 'The Big Heist'. It would later change to 'Drug Store'. Next door is building #8 (although buildings 7 & 8 are clearly one building) . During season 1 this was painted white and simply signed 'Theatre ***'. The British English spelling of theatre surprised me, but apparently the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) spell it that way (I assume these aren't the guys currently enforcing the no-fly zone in Libya). The usual US spelling was later used when it became 'Hazzard Theater'. Building #9 was initially 'Julius Berg'. I think the window text says 'Attorney At Law'. The sign is visible in 'The Big Heist', but I couldn't get a clear grab until 'Double Sting'. This building would become the 'Hazzard County Telephone Company'. Building #10 virtually always sold furniture, here in its first incarnation as 'Furniture Mart'. There is a name on the left of the sign, but I've never managed to read it. It looks like it starts 'Mc C...'. This sign alternates with 'Seth M. Berley & Co.' in the early seasons. Building #11 is already the post office, although the curtains change color regularly and opening times and posters in the window come and go. Between these 2 buildings is an entrance marked 'USO'. Finally on this block is building #12. The signs in the window say 'Fanny's Fabrics'. This store later gets better signage before becoming a hardware store. The post office is also clearer in this grab. The window signage was much larger here than in later seasons.
  2. Hi greenmonsta. There are different ways to add pictures here on HNet: 1) The easiest option is to click the 'Manage Attachments' button in the 'Additional Options' box below the text entry box when you are writing a post. The downsides to this method are that your picture size is limited and non-members don't get to see your pics. 2) Click on 'User CP' in the menu bar at the top of the screen and choose 'Pictures & Albums' in the 'Networking' section. These pics are stored separately to you posts. NB. I may be wrong, but I think the at least the 2nd option is restricted until your moderation period is over (usually 10 posts). You won't be able to add an avatar until then either. 3) My prefered method is to use an image hosting service. There are many free ones around like photobucket, flickr, and imageshack. Personally I use photobucket which allows files up to 1024 x 768 pixels for free users. The moderators widened the posting area of the forum recently so files up to just over 900 pixels wide can be accommodated without stretching the sides, but larger files can be used. I find 800 x 600 works quite well, and most cameras take photos in that ratio (ie. 4:3). I hope that wasn't too technical. Please feel free to PM me if you need help. I'm looking forward to your pics.
  3. I'll have to check that out, I've got it around here somewhere. I do know that I caught myself watching a bit of 'Gilmore Girls' a couple of weeks back, just because I knew it was filmed here. Luckily the square showed up about 5 minutes in and my curiosity was satisfied . I believe it is, but I haven't got a screengrab of it yet. Feel free to post one yourself. I'm hoping this thread will include a lot of pictures, so apologies to anyone on dial-up.
  4. Well done Lizzy - I knew someone would know the answer. Here he is on the left (new question below): According to Rod's page on IMDb it was his only acting role. Q. Sticking with 'Repo Men', Uncle Jesse warns Bo and Luke about going to court, but what's the missing number in the following quote?: "... juries is made up of parents. And parents is the mamas and daddies of all those girls you've been chasing since you were __. They'd hang you before lunch." A) 10 11 C) 12 D) 13 E) 14 F) 15

    One Word Song Titles

    Vienna - Ultravox Midge Ure's band made it to the #2 position in the UK charts in 1981 with 'Vienna', famously being kept off the #1 slot by .
  6. saucer Sorry to change tack there Garrett.
  7. Many of us here have all 7 seasons on DVD, but I'm sure we're all at different places. From reading other posts it looks like most of us watch through from start to finish and then start over again - I know Roger made it a New Year's resolution to watch more . From time to time we do come to an agreement for a group to all watch the same episode at the same time, sometimes in conjunction with the chat room. Keep an eye out for the next one, or suggest one yourself.
  8. Welcome to HazzardNet Driver. I look forward to reading your "special story". I know what you mean. I never had any Dukes on VHS, and CMT isn't shown over here, so for years I had to make do with sporadic re-runs on TV. When the DVDs started coming out, that was it - I had to have them .
  9. Here's our first look at Cooter's (#22 on the aerial views) from 'Swamp Molly'. Thanks to Ben Jones's efforts it stayed fairly much the same throughout all 7 seasons. Sadly, as mentioned above, this building has been replaced. From the same episode, and next to Cooter's, is a very clean looking Rhuebottom's (#23) with a very clean looking Uncle Jesse truck outside. I think Rhuebottom's remained a constant fixture throughout all 7 seasons, although its appearance changed (as I will document in the future). Again this building has been replaced. Beside Rhuebottom's is Carol's Jewelry. This business seems to have no entrance, and I think 'Luke's Love Story' was the only episode it appears in (I may correct myself later). O'Connor Paint Supply (#24) is just past Carol's. As I pointed out in this thread, this is merely a facade with nothing behind it. By 'The Big Heist' (2 episodes later) Carol's Jewelry has gone and Rhuebottom's is looking much dirtier. The impound yard where Neil Bishop's car gets towed to is just off the right side of this picture.
  10. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  11. Whilst working on my recent Fan Art project, Buildings of Hazzard, I realised how many changes take place to the stores and other buildings around Hazzard Square. I thought we could have some fun recording the changes. Most of us know that after the Georgia episodes Hazzard Square relocated to the back lot at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. Below are 2 different views of the square as it is now. I have numbered the buildings for reference purposes. As you can see, the square hasn't changed that much, notable exceptions are: building 10 has been re-clad; buildings 16, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are totally different and have been rebuilt since Dukes. The following buildings stay the same in virtually every episode: 3. Bank of Hazzard (Boss's Bank) 4. Barber Shop 7. Drug Store, Ice Cream Parlor & Bus Stop 11. Hazzard County US Post Office 13. Hotel 18. Hazzard County Gospel Church 20. Boss Hogg's House 22. Cooter's Garage (now rebuilt as a house) 23. Rhuebottom's General Store (now rebuilt as a house) 24. O'Connor Paint Supply (no longer there) 32. Hazzard County Court House 33. Hazzard Police Station Others only change a few times, but are usually one of the following: 8. Theater/Hazzard Theater/Hazzard Picture Palace 9. Hazzard County Telephone Company/Hazzard County Telephone and Telegraph Co. 10. Seth M. Berley & Co./Furniture Mart/Hazzard Emporium/J.D. Hogg Furniture Mart 12. Joe's Hardware/Hazzard Hardware & Sporting Goods I have many more to add, and screengrabs to illustrate the changes, but my list in nowhere near complete so please feel free to jump in and add any other businesses you spot. If a business only appears briefly (one or two episodes) please try to give the episode(s) you see it in (and a screengrab if you have that ability). If you are not sure where the business is, give as much information as you can and I'm sure, between us, we can identify it.

  14. Y'all seem to be struggling so I'll narrow your choices: like Paul Baxley's appearance, it was in one of the Georgia episodes.

    Signs of Hazzard

    Yes we do, although none of this year's hoaxes stand out. Apparently the story about our banks needing €24bn wasn't a joke .
  16. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  17. I watched the Double Zero scenes over and over when I was doing my Fan Art version, and I don't think the license plate was ever clearly shown - I certainly couldn't make it out. I'd love to finish the rear view by adding the correct license plate if anyone knows it.

  19. Welcome to HazzardNet Daisy Duke 01. Looks like you're a couple of hours away from Cooter's Place at Gatlinburg, have you ever been?. I also see from Google Maps that you have Claiborne County Airport nearby. It's good to see old Cassius is still about and has renamed Osage County after himself . I think Roger would like it there too - you appear to have Rogersville just down the road.

    Signs of Hazzard

    It's the 1st of April, so Happy Sadie Hogg Day y'all. Here's my version of a sign from that episode (S04E07).
  21. Sounds fine to me Roger, we just need to educate the rest of the world . Having said that, I can see problems asking for a glass of freshly squeezed Duke car juice in a restaurant, and one of the UK's cell phone operators will have to change it's name as well. Roger and waikiki correctly remembered that Luke thought Bubba was like a Mack truck. Unfortunately there are virtually none of these great trucks over here, we just get things like Volvos and Dafs and they're nearly all cabovers . Q. Rod Amateau directed/produced many episodes of Dukes, but appeared on screen in just one episode. Which episode was it and what was the name of his character?.
