    Aren't you gonna guess at the last question?. I'll post a new one later.

    I'll see Roger's three cheers, and raise you three. HazzardNet is a great place to visit (or stay over some nights ). MaryAnne, Mufn and Brian have created a forum where people can share their likes and dislikes of not only the show that unites us, but outside interests as well, without having to worry that differences of opinion will result in childish personal insults. It proves there's a place for something G-rated that can be enjoyed by all.

    This isn't an easy one unless you've just watched it like I have . I give y'all a clue: It was a Clint Eastwood movie, and probably not one his most famous.

    Commercials

    HossC replied to Garrett Duke's topic in TV

    The song 'Why Can't We Be Friends' by War which is used in the Pepsi Max commercial is also used during the end credits of Lethal Weapon 4.

    I'm talking about the episode from season 7. BTW it's Hoss, not Hogg, although I can see how you could have misread it given the website we're on .

    Although some of my favorite episodes were filmed in California, they could have been even better if they were filmed in Georgia. Having said that, I doubt if we would have had as many seasons if they'd tried to keep it real by filming in Georgia, so I guess it's the lesser of 2 evils (just like we may have had only 4 seasons without Coy and Vance). I'm still voting for Georgia.

    Thanks for the link, I enjoyed the contrast of how some things have disappeared completely, and others have hardly changed at all. They seem to have been busy growing trees in Georgia . The California pictures were interesting too.

    bolukeduke and BL got it right. I'll give you 1/2 points Roger - if it makes you feel better, I thought 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' was longest when I thought up this question. It was only when I checked before posting that I realised it wasn't . The longest are: Opening Night at the Boar's Nest = 26 The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style = 27 Cale Yarborough comes to Hazzard = 28 The Return of the Mean Green Machine = 30 The episode titles seem to get longer as the seasons go on. Season 1 had mainly short titles. I would have allowed 'Route 7-11' as the shortest as it contains only 5 letters. Now for today's question: Q. In 'The Dukes in Hollywood' the Dukes drive General Lee down Hollywood Boulevard and point out the Chinese Theater, but what film was playing?.

    Welcome back to the trivia thread BL. Both you and Roger got that right. I've looked carefully at the bike in the show, and I don't think it is Buddy Holly's actual bike even though it was owned by Waylon at the time - see more here: http://www.bikemenu.com/photos/famous/Buddy_Holly/Buddy_Holly.html We'll end the week with an easy one: Q. If you ignore spaces and punctuation, what is the longest and what is the shortest episode title, ie. One Armed Bandits = 15 letters?.

    bolukeduke just posted a link to his own YouTube video of before/after stills from his own trip to Covington/Conyers. http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7895 It was only posted a couple of hours ago, so I guess it's not the one you were looking for originally - If I find another I'll let you know.

    Commercials

    HossC replied to Garrett Duke's topic in TV

    BBC America is a cable/satellite channel showing British TV shows in the US - I just don't know how widely available it is. Another commercial I just remembered also highlights differences between the US and UK. The advert is for Walkers Crisps (potato chips), and stars one of England's all-time best soccer players, Gary Lineker. As well as scoring loads of goals, he is also well known for never receiving a booking from the referee throughout his career. The series of adverts was known as 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' (nice Dukes reference there ) because it was decided that Mr. Lineker (who was returning from Japan) should show he had a bad side (brought out by the chips) by stealing the child's chips at the end of the commercial. The company's US bosses thought it was a terrible idea that a soccer hero would steal chips from a child, so the ad company sneaked it by them. We Brits obviously saw the funny side because he still does the ads more than 15 years later.

    MaryAnne, I wouldn't call it cheating to have a list of episode titles by your side when you try to solve these - I can't always remember what they are until I've had a good look . It's a good rule of thumb that any anagrams with two 'Z's is likely to have Hazzard in the name, and most of the ones with 'K's have Duke/Dukes in them. I thought I'd better post the answers to the last set in an effort to break up the on-going dispute between Garrett and Roger. Don't you guys know - Dukes don't fight Dukes. One day I'll catch BoJames out, but not this time (one day I might get caught out myself by not checking the answers before I post them ): Lovely Rose Tusk - Luke’s Love Story Surfer's Moth Count - Southern Comfurts Foretell The Unrest - The Fortune Tellers Free Hazardous Tzar - Treasure Of Hazzard Aha, Doggy Dies - Sadie Hogg Day Flatly Not Dinner - Find Loretta Lynn Mister Abandoned - One Armed Bandits A Day Rider - Dear Diary Fool Deals Acrylics - Close Call For Daisy Darkening Used - Dukes In Danger To take the heat off of Garrett, I've included other Hazzardites in the first four of today's anagrams: Roger Tries Hardened Fruit Dizzy Mufn Uses Coolest Hardhat DoH MaryAnne's Hot Fuzz Actor Boss Brian Fed Yet? Defy Honored Assassin Hurried Ski Tickets They Bandage Peripherally Gourmets Fry Hostage's Hare Scout Ministries Yak Brays, Maybe

    Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I'd seen some of the places on the DVD extra 'Back Where We Started: The Real Hazzard County' when Sonny and Ben did a short tour, but you covered many more. I know most of the outdoor places are public, but how hard was it getting to film inside the buildings and in the junkyard?.

    Happy birthday Capt. - you beat me to the big 4-0 by 3 months :).

    Commercials

    HossC replied to Garrett Duke's topic in TV

    The laws over here are very different. Sometimes other brands are mentioned, but it is also quite usual for lines like '8 out 10 people preferred it compared to the leading brand'. Product placement has also been prohibited on TV. Things are set to change with commercial stations losing revenue to the internet. Of course the BBC does not show any commercials. I was watching a programme this morning where they referred to 'a well known brand of luncheon meat' without being able to name it - I'm assuming it was Spam. This policy is a bit ridiculous at times. In the '80s the BBC used to show the cartoon 'Top Cat'. Because there was a brand of cat food with the same name, the cartoon was referred to as 'Boss Cat' in TV listings and by programme announcers. If you remember the theme tune this led to the announcer saying '... and now on BBC 1, Boss Cat' immediately followed by 'Top Cat! The most effectual Top Cat! ...'. Is BBC America commercial free?.

    I had an idea for a thread like this a couple of weeks ago whilst driving. I promptly forgot all about it and can't even remember what advert prompted the idea - age does memory no favors . Garrett, I found your adverts on YouTube (neither of them made it over this side of the Atlantic): ESPN - NASCAR Haulers Race Pepsi MAX - Diner 2pointZero Both very funny. I think advertising law in the UK/Ireland prevents ads like the Pepsi Max one using a rival brand like that - the other guy would probably have to work for a generic cola company. The ad spoofs a 1995 original which I also found: Coke Vs Pepsi On TV here, adverts occasionally acheive cult status. One of the recent ones is a series of adverts for an insurance comparison website 'Compare the Market'. The adverts have now developed into mini epics - the sixth one is here: They even have their own spoof website (www.comparethemeerkat.com) - simples. I know most adverts don't cross the Atlantic due to different laws/products/humor. Some take ages - the Budweiser 'designated driver' advert with Cedric the Entertainer only aired here earlier this year. Here are a few old adverts I liked: Cadbury's Gorilla - part of an obscure series of adverts from around 2007: The gorilla suit was made by the legendary Stan Winston. Carling Black Label - very funny adverts for lager from the '80s:

    What a shame that the show was cancelled. I watched the videos from previous years and he seems to go higher and longer each year. I also looked through the 'Jump Car Build' photos - if you look at these it's easy to see the type of wrecks he starts out with. The one in the photos is a very battered/rusty '68 that gets just enough of a makeover to pass for a '69 from a distance. After looking at the pictures on the website the only thing I'd query is the use of a 2-door Plymouth/Dodge/Chrysler Neon as a patrol car. Surely bigger 4-doors like the other one pictured aren't in short supply are they?

    Looks like I caught everyone out with this one. To be fair, I wouldn't have remembered either - it's a lot easier setting questions than answering . The answers were: C) Heaven's Above & F) Home In The Sky See my version of this sign in the Fan Art section: http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/showthread.php?p=188137#post188137 Hopefully today's question is a little easier - I'll post multiple choice if no-one gets it. Q. In 'Welcome, Waylon Jennings', which late musician's motorcycle interested Bo and Luke in Waylon's traveling museum.

    Signs of Hazzard

    HossC replied to HossC's topic in Fan Art

    Here's my version of the Hazzard County Gospel Church sign. The screen grab is from 'Enos's Last Chance', but the sign can be seen in other episodes. Original:

    Well done again MaryAnne - I also thought it was out of character for Garrett . Here's the complete list of yesterday's answers (courtesy of BoJames): Eyeballed Green Goo - Goodbye General Lee Budget Lions – Double Sting Hot Gunfight Aged John - The Haunting Of J.D Hogg Robbed Huge Skirt - Big Brothers, Duke A Baronet's Sherbets - The Boar’s Nest Bears Yacht Glee - The Legacy Roasted Pair - Road Pirates One's Clubs – Uncle Boss User Sedates Jerk - Arrest Jesse Duke Garrett Broke Baby Hen - The Great Bank Robbery Some new ones for y'all: Lovely Rose Tusk Surfer's Moth Count Foretell The Unrest Free Hazardous Tzar Aha, Doggy Dies Flatly Not Dinner Mister Abandoned A Day Rider Fool Deals Acrylics Darkening Used I'll leave these up until Sunday to give everyone a chance to guess them over the weekend.
  22. HossC
    I'm afraid neither of those is right Roger. I'll leave this one open until tomorrow to give y'all a bit longer.
  23. HossC
    MaryAnne, thanks for posting the new crosswords, but your link seems to have been truncated. The full link to the PDF versions is: http://www.hazzardnet.com/blog/fun-stuff/hazzardnet-trivia-crossword-puzzles/ (Link appears the same in my post, but full link is used when you click).
  24. HossC
    BoJames got it right. I assume you guessed wrong first time, Roger. I was hoping a couple of French names might throw y'all. Gilles de Turenne was production manager on 2 episodes. I hope they kept a bottle of the champagne - it's the same vintage as me . Another multiple choice for you now: Q. In 'Enos's Last Chance', according to the Hazzard County Gospel Church sign, Rev. J.P. Frawley gave the sermon 'Moonshine vs. Milk', but which 2 hymns were on the sign?. A) He Leadeth Me Heavenly Sunlight C) Heaven's Above D) Old Time Religion E) Victory Ground F) Home In The Sky G) Rock of Ages H) How Great Thou Art I) Angels Step Back All the incorrect answers are genuine gospel hymns.

    In 'Welcome, Waylon Jennings' Bo and Luke are discussing why Betty Jo doesn't trust them: Luke: Well, you gotta look at it like this ... if you was in her place, you'd probably feel the same way about us. Bo: If I was in her place, I'd probably feel the same way about you, but I'd dang sure trust me.
