Everyone can play this game, right? This is my first go.

I suppose Mississippi is quite a long way from France, especially if news had to go via the 'local' airfield in California. Thanks for putting me straight. Maybe we should call Dukes by it's French name now we know the truth: Shérif, fais-moi peur! (translated literally this means something like 'Sheriff, frighten me', however if you use Google's French to English translator it now tells you 'Shérif, fais-moi peur!' means' Dukes of Hazzard' - there's progress in action). I'm sure you're right about MaryAnne and MeadowMufn, but these days I'd settle for more fun to be around than Colombo, and better looking than Scooby Doo:). Dang it - I've gone and left my 3 foot high sandwich in the pocket of my dirty old raincoat again.

Google translate gives 'choc' as French for 'shock', so 'choc ta' is 'shock your'. With Choctaw County, and I assume Choctaw Ridge so close, I'm surprised no-one on the show ever mentioned Billy Joe MacAllister jumping off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

I didn't plan to follow this up so soon. I was watching season 2 episodes to try to get a clear screen grab of the COLD BEER sign outside the Boars Nest to complete my Boars Nest sign: http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7044&page=5 (scroll down to see it). Then I saw Cooter had a map for the Jesse vs Boss race in 'Days of Shine and Roses'. I couldn't get a clear grab, but watched it through about 3 times. I could make out the name I've marked '1' ended with 'ville'. That didn't narrow it down much since there's loads a places in the US with this ending as I found recently when posting the old map of the the L & N: http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3368&highlight=michelle+shocked&page=2 (2nd post on this page). The place I've marked '2' says 'Fort de Vaux' which was a fort near Verdun in France which was attacked by the Germans in 1916. You can read about it here: http://pierreswesternfront.punt.nl/?id=414014&r=1&tbl_archief=& That meant the name marked '3' must be Damloup (it's unclear due to being in the fold of the map). Finally that leaves us with the real location of Hazzard: Dieppe-sous-Douaumont, near Verdun, France. Considering it's location I guess the correct exclamation is 'voila'!

Great detective work there MaryAnne. Who would have thought that the nearest small landing strip to Hazzard was just across the bay from San Francisco. No wonder Daisy went to a different airfield when she was learning to fly the crop duster.

I came across this map when double checking my clues for the soon-to-be published 3rd trivia crossword (dang it, that'll give away one of the answers:)). You can't read anything in the long shot, but close up all but the main name are reversed. Is this a real map that anyone recognises?. It looks like the new text was added after the original was 'distressed' with correction fluid and tears.

I'll leave aside the main featured cars because they've all been mentioned. Here's some of the others I liked (in no particular order): Cletus's Mercury Cougar (there's a similar one often parked in the square, Cooter also had one as a loaner) Gaylord Duke's XK-E Grady Byrd's Mama's '59 DeVille Swamp Molly's '46 pickup Doc Petticord's 1950 Olds Jason Dillard's '68 Shelby Cobra Mason Dixon's Girls' Pontiac Trans-Am convertible

I found this thread and was going to revive it with a few additions of my own. As it turned out it was a quiet Sunday morning and I got carried away going through my MP3s. As you can see, I listen to a range of music - hopefully there's something for everyone in here somewhere.

As an Formula 1 fan I had always assumed (in my younger days) that oval racing must be really dull with no chicanes or twisty-turny bits. Then one of our non-subscription channels picked up some NASCAR races and started showing them at 2 or 3 in the morning (it wasn't the time difference - they were shown a day or 2 late). It's a very different type of racing, and watching the lead change several times a lap certainly means I was wrong about it being dull:). I'm not sure whether they've stopped showing it, or my insomnia cleared up. For your sake I hope they stopped showing it, otherwise there's going to be a whole bunch of dumb questions heading your way.

Found this great map of the L & N (Louisville & Nashville) Railroad dating from 1886. Hazard is marked just under the 2nd 'K' in Kentucky. http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~24455~900013:Map-of-the-Louisville-and-Nashville

Don't know why, but I wasn't expecting to find another DNA fan here. Such a shame 'The Salmon of Doubt' didn't get finished - we miss you Douglas. I tried entering one of my posts from HNet into iwl and apparently I write like Cory Doctorow. Don't want to offend anyone, but I'd never heard of him. I looked him up on Wikipedia and might check him out.

Every time I listen to the Jean Ritchie song 'The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore' (I have versions by Johnny Cash and Michelle Shocked) I think of the Dukes because of this verse: I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler Where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door But now they stand in a rusty row of all empties Because the L & N don't stop here anymore It was written many years before DoH, and I assume refers the Hazard, Kentucky as she grew up in a house in the Cumberland Mountains. That doesn't stop me imagining the Dukes growing up with coal cars rumbling by when I hear it.

I checked out 'serious' on thesaurus.com: Main Entry: serious Part of Speech: adjective Definition: crucial, weighty Synonyms: arduous, dangerous, deep, difficult, far-reaching, fateful, fell, formidable, grave, grievous, grim, hard, heavy, important, laborious, major, meaning business, meaningful, menacing, momentous, no joke, no laughing matter, of consequence, operose, out for blood, playing hard ball, pressing, severe, significant, smoking, sobering, strenuous, strictly business, threatening, tough, ugly, unamusing, unhumorous, urgent, worrying I think formidable, major or maybe even severe Dukes fan sound more like you Roger:).

Here's four of the ones already mentioned - I'm sure there's more out there. Maybe this thread needs moving to the Sorrell/Boss forum - what do you think admin?

Here you go Roger - just click the link below: http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7867

Rick appeared in the double-length season 6 opener of MASH (Fade Out, Fade In) in 1977. He played a character called Capt. Schaeffer who told Klinger (Jamie Farr) that he was a lawyer, and could help him get the Section 8 (discharge from the United States military for reason of being mentally unfit for service) he so wanted. I won't spoil the plot by posting the outcome:). He is also credited on IMDb as appearing in season 7, but this hour long show (Our Finest Hour) was mainly made up of clips from previous shows, and hence he did not receive a screen credit for this one. Here's a couple of pics:

@Roger Back on MASH - as well as Sorrell Booke appearing twice in the first season (see picture in the Sorrell/Boss section), Rick Hurst also appeared twice, once in season 6, and once in season 7. I'll have a look through his section later and post some pics if no-one else has.

They're all supposed to be Dukes questions, but I know what you mean;). Did you do both or just the first?. #4 is now done, but I'm stuggling a bit with #5 - I usually find if I sleep on it, it gets easier in the morning. To Roger and anyone else playing - if you're stuck, let me know - I'm not putting the solutions up yet, but I'm quite happy giving extra clues to help you finish.

I think Uncle Jesse would like the doctors in MASH. They might enjoy the company of the nurses, but then Bo and Luke like the ladies. Aside from that they brew their own alcohol (gin not 'shine), have a strong view of right and wrong and fight injustice and discrimination when they see it. They also have strong family bonds, whether it be Hawkeye with his father, or BJ with his wife and daughter etc. etc.. Initially when I read your post I thought you meant Gerry Anderson's 60s series Stingray (the same guy that did Joe 90 and Thunderbirds etc.). Then I checked IMDb and assume you mean the 80s Stephen J. Cannell show which I don't remember making it to the UK (we had a lot of American shows in the 80s). I watched Dallas avidly for one of the middle seasons, then strangely igonored it afterwards. Saw some of Charlie's Angels. The A-team is another show I think I watched all of, although I only have season 2 on DVD, and I wasn't keen on the last season when they were working for the government. Believe it or not the A-Team movie only opens here this Friday (only 2 months after you!) - did you get a chance to see it?. I'm hoping to watch it this weekend sometime.

I do watch them in order - it wouldn't feel right otherwise. The only exception I make is watching bits of episodes to double-check trivia. This is only my second time through my DVDs (7 seasons + reunion films), and I only started this time because they were showing the 2005 film on TV a couple of months back. I've seen it once before, but this time I got ten minutes into it before deciding enough was enough and dug out season 1. At the time I had only just finished watching my 11 season box set of MASH for the second time.

Hi there VintageDuke. I'm kinda new here myself, but it's good to see someone (like me) who gets straight into the swing and starts posting right away. I don't think we had the Mego figures in the UK, so thanks for the pics. I think the only DoH stuff I had back then was 2 or 3 model car cases for the 1:64 vehicles - chances are they're probably still in my parents' attic:). Keep up the good work.

I'm watching season 5 now, and was going to put my 2 cents in, but it looks like it's all been said. I have to say I'm on the side of Roger (et al) - Coy and Vance did what they had to do. I'm about half way through their run, and after I'd got used to them, and they'd settled in, I found no problem enjoying their episodes (same happens each time I watch season 5). Now don't get me wrong - I'm still looking forward to Bo and Luke's return, but the ones I'm watching are alright. They are part of the show, love 'em or loathe 'em, they always will be. What I will say is what a well mannered, polite debate this has been. Coy and Vance really polarise opinion like nothing else on DoH, and I didn't see a cross word or insult traded - well done everyone, it's good to see people on the internet who can accept that someone else can hold an opposing viewpoint without resorting to swearing and personal jibes. Don't know how many of you have seen it, but I found this video of Coy failing to get into the General (apparently during an audition) on YouTube.

Hi Cookies, nice to have another member on the Emerald Isle. I'm south of the border in Kilkenny.

Thanks for your continued support Roger. I have contacted MaryAnne about posting the crosswords in an easy-to-print format (not that that's going to help you:(), and plans are under way - watch this space. What do you think I should do about solutions?. Should I post a solution grid here or in it's own thread, or should people post their solutions within this thread?. I don't want to spoil your week, but there's another crossword ready to post, and a 4th that's about 98% done. I'll probably leave posting until at least the weekend to give people a chance to do the first 2. They have been very enjoyable to put together scouring HazzardNet, Wikipedia, IMDB etc. to find possible words to include, then watching though episodes to double check them.
