  1. Well done to everyone who said Ernie Hudson. Dukefan1 was correct about the episode, he played Avery in 'Dear Diary' and Winston Zeddmore in 'Ghostbusters'. According to IMDb, he's going to reprise his role in 'Ghostbusters 3', scheduled for 2012 - I'm not sure whether a new movie is good news or bad :). Here's a reminder of how he looked (next question below picture):

    Q. Which guest actor who also appeared in Dukes season 4 became a Star Trek commander?.

  2. I thought it was about time that 'the law' was represented in 'Fan Art'. Here's my version of Rosco's patrol car. I've gone for the most commonly used model, a '77/'78 Plymouth Fury. Once they had settled on this model, there are only very small differences between them eg. mirrors, lightbar and fixings, side strip etc. Now that I have the basic shape, I intend to do one or two of the patrol cars from surrounding counties.

  3. Don't expect me to get many of these, but I know this one :) - National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.

    Q. Until recently, what was Charlotte Motor Speedway known as?.

  4. Jon Holland's website has some pictures of the house in the 'before and after' section, but doesn't give an address:

    On another page, showing original filming pics, it says:

    "Later in the day the cast and crew transferred out to Alcovy Trestle where the filming of "Big Johns" character was pushed into the water. This was to the right of the Alcovy Bridge. After this was filmed the cast and crew went back to the house to remake-up, eat, and warm-up."

    ... which would suggest the house is close to Alcovy Trestle.

  5. I'll leave my original question open to see if the others agree with you or not.

    I've only seen parts of that movie but I remember one part where somebody says to Burt Reynolds, "We could always use a black Trans Am." And he says, "Nah, that's been done before." LOL

    At least, I think that bit is from that movie. Hoss, please tell me if I'm wrong. LOL

    To answer your question, MaryAnne, I missed the first half hour when they showed it the other night, so I had to look it up. The Burt Reynolds quote is from the first 'Cannonball Run' (1981). You can see it at about 9:28 in this video:

    The Cannonball Run (1981) part 1/7

    There are a few '81 Trans-Ams in the first movie that you're sure to like, including these two police cars:

    Looks like Rosco's lightbar on the blue one, but we're getting off topic now :).

  6. Whats the answer to your question Hoss!?

    Sorry General, I was away from the computer last night, but waikiki stepped in with the right answer. I've previously posted screengrabs from both in relevant sections of HNet:

    Sorrell Pics From Before Dukes

    Pics of Rick in M*A*S*H

    Another question about cast members in other projects today (only because the movie was on a couple of nights ago :)).

    Q. John Schneider made a brief appearance in the 1989 movie 'Speed Zone' aka. 'Cannonball Fever', but which one of the regular Dukes cast appeared in the 1984 movie 'Cannonball Run II'?.

  7. My all time favorite book, though, is Good Omens/Bad Omens by Terry Pratchett

    I completely forgot Terry Pratchett. It's been ages since I read a Discworld novel. I liked Mort where Death always speaks in capital letters and has a horse called Binky.

  8. I don't read a lot of fiction. If I do pick up a book, it's likely to be a biography or a book about WWII. Having said that, I do have a few favorites:

    Douglas Adams - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/Dirk Gently.

    Ian Fleming - James Bond novels.

    Alistair MacLean - various action thrillers.

    Spike Milligan - war diaries, blurring the line between fact and fiction, but very funny. To give you an idea of what they're like, the first in the series in called 'Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall '.

  9. Welcome to HazzardNet Lucas. From your posts I'd say you were a big Tom Wopat fan.

    Folks down there don't know how to handle much snow....but, in their defense...the roads don't get cleared out very well because they don't have as many plow trucks. Of course, it's hard to justify to taxpayers to buy a lot of plow trucks when you don't get much snow.

    Sounds like the UK and Ireland. Countries like Sweden expect snow, but it always comes as a surprise to our governments.

  10. (no video with this :()

    Tori Amos did a cover version of this song on her 'Strange Little Girls' album in 2001.

    The chorus includes the line 'She looks like Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"'. Apparently she beat Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched) to the role. Her portrayal of Edie Doyle won her an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Here she is with Marlon Brando:

    Eva Marie Saint also appeared in films like "North by Northwest". I remember her as Maddie's mother in "Moonlighting" in the late '80s. Most recently she played Martha Kent in the 2006 movie "Superman Returns".
