Danger on the Hazzard EXpress

Skipper, can you please stop creating a new topic every time you think of a new trivia question? We already have an official trivia thread, and you have now created four topics called "Dukes Trivia" in this forum in the last year, and another four topics for questions about individual episodes. Forums don't work nearly as well when the information is scattered in different places. Take a little time to see if the topic already exists, and use the search function to see if the information already exists. I'm guessing that the answer you're looking for is that 'Duel' and 'Witness for the Persecution' both feature the tunnel on Soledad Canyon Road. You can see a couple of screengrabs from the latter in the Hazzard Square thread.

THE TRI-County Beauty and TALENT Contest

F1 team McLaren is giving US IndyCar driver Colton Herta a test drive this week in Portugal. While British McLaren driver Lando Norris has a contract until 2025, his team mate, Australian Daniel Ricciardo, only has a contract until 2023, which is when Colton Herta's Andretti Autosport contract expires.

RALPH RISKIN (Producer/co-producer of 114 episodes)

That's similar to my local cinema. Adult tickets for evening shows are €12 (roughly the same in dollars at the moment), but on Wednesdays you can get a ticket, medium drink and medium popcorn for €11.50. There's also a Tuesday offer where you can get a 2-course meal at a nearby Asian fusion restaurant and movie ticket for €18. I plan to try that one day, but haven't managed it yet.

Today's Austrian Grand Prix had a good amount of close racing and overtaking. Red Bull's Max Verstappen started on pole after winning yesterday's sprint race (the second of three this year). He also led the first few laps, but Ferrari's Charles Leclerc had better race pace with a car that seemed to be easier on its tires, and he soon overtook Max. With different tire strategies, it would be the first of three times that Charles had to overtake Max. Mercedes' George Russell collided with Red Bull's Sergio Perez on the opening lap, which led to a 5-second penalty for George and ultimately retirement for Sergio. Ferrari looked like scoring a 1-2 finish until Carlos Sainz's engine blew as he was trying to overtake Max. His car then caught fire as he was trying to park it safely off the track, which resulted in a virtual safety car. In the end, Charles Leclerc won his first race since the Australian Grand Prix in April, and also his first from a position other than pole. Max Verstappen limited the damage by finishing second and getting a point for fastest lap. Mercedes picked up good points with Lewis Hamilton finishing third and George Russell fourth. It was a particularly good result as both drivers had crashed in qualifying and had to have their cars rebuilt over night. Despite Mercedes' relative lack of pace, this was Lewis' third podium in a row. After scoring his first F1 points at Silverstone last week, Haas' Mick Schumacher picked up more points by finishing sixth. Several drivers received 5-second penalties for exceeding track limits - more than any other race I remember. You can see the race highlights here. We now have a 2-week break before the French Grand Prix.

The PITCHFORK PICASSO (aka. Artie Bender)

MADAME Delilah

Admiral Horatio Nelson (British naval leader) She played Lynn Tanner in 'ALF' and also Alice Tyler in the earlier series 'Whiz Kids'. It looks like she's been married for nearly 30 years. IMDb has no acting credits for her after 1997.

Holiday INN (Conyers location where the cast first met)

The GREAT Coltrano

As the picture is from 'Shock Corridor', I assume it stands for "Confederate States of America".

Sometimes you have to remind people that things have changed so that they don't have unrealistic expectations. I was just watching a 30-year-old sitcom where they visited two railroad stations, and both had manned ticket offices. You tell that to kids of today and they won't believe you!

I didn't watch it all the way through, but it definitely includes Jimmie with a mustache.

Back to the start... ABE Serino (unseen boss of the counterfeiters in 'Repo Men')

Bonanza Season 9 Episode 19: "The Price of Salt". First aired in the US on February 4, 1968.

Today was the British Grand Prix from Silverstone. It's one of a number of British sporting events that get shown live on free-to-air TV (others include the football World Cup, the Grand National horse race and the Olympics). This week there are several sports focused in this part of the world, as the Grand Prix coincides with tennis at Wimbledon, golf at the Irish Open (not far from me), and cycling in the Tour de France just across The Channel. Yesterday's qualifying was wet, so there were a few people out of position on the grid, but the threat of rain never came to anything today. Ferrari's Carlos Sainz started on pole for the first time (this was his 150th F1 race), but got passed by Max Verstappen off the line. Lewis Hamilton also made up two places off the start, but then there was a bad crash behind them at the first corner which red flagged the race. Alfa Romeo's Zhou Guanyu got turned upside down and his car flipped over the tire barrier. Luckily, he was fine, but the race was delayed by about 45 minutes. Because the crash happened so close to the start, the grid reformed in its original order (minus the three cars that were involved in the crash). The second time around, Sainz held the lead, Hamilton lost a place and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc damaged his front wing. Verstappen then picked up some underside damage from debris and pitted because he thought he had a puncture. Leclerc quickly caught his team mate, despite his damage, but Ferrari wouldn't order the drivers to swap position. Hamilton made his pit stop much later than the Ferraris, and looked to be in with a good chance of a win until Estaban Ocon's car broke down bringing out a safety car. With Leclerc in the lead, Sainz and Hamilton took the opportunity to fit the faster soft tires. Also back in the mix was Red Bull's Sergio Perez, who passed Hamilton at the restart. Sainz passed his team mate, while Leclerc, Hamilton and Perez fought over the other two podium positions. There was a lot of passing and repassing in the final laps, but in the end Sainz got his first Grand Prix win, with Perez second and Hamilton third in a much more competitive Mercedes. Verstappen had a great battle with Mick Schumacher in the final laps to claim seventh place. Schumacher picked up his first F1 points in eighth. You can see the highlights here. We're off to Austria next week for what counts as Red Bull's home race.

As you said in your PM, you missed out "C". As I've said several times, please check your quotes before posting them. If you're just copying them from Facebook - STOP! Watch the show, and if you think a line is funny or memorable, then post it. We don't need a string of inaccurate quotes from unreliable third party sources. The first two lines above come from the beginning of the scene inside Ace's, before we're introduced to the counterfeiters. The rest is from the continuation of the scene. [Bo and Luke enter Ace Parker's to make an offer on the Richard Petty wreck] Luke: "That wreck out there, how much you give us if we haul it off for you?" Ace: "Well now, that's $700, boys. We both know what it is and what it's worth." Bo: "We'll take it." Ace: "Since you Duke boys quit making whiskey, you ain't earned $700 in a year." Luke: "We give you $200, and you can hold it." Ace: "I'm holding it now. You see, it's on special today, but tomorrow the price is $1,000." Bo: "Well how come?" Ace: "Because you need it. I got it. It's the only one around." Bo: "Let's get out of here." [Bo and Luke start to leave] Ace: "Unless you'd do a little repossession work for me." Bo: "Repo men? Us?" Ace: "Well, some boys stuck me with a hot check for a Rolls." [Bo and Luke turn to hear Ace's offer] Ace: "I'll tell you what I'll do. You take these papers and bring back the Rolls, and I'll let you have that wreck out there for $200." Bo: "There ain't no way, Ace. I hate repo men." Luke: "Hey, who don't? Personally, I'd like to win that race Saturday. So, A: We need that Richard Petty car to B: Get the spare parts to C: Rebuild the General Lee so he can, D and E: Enter and win. F: Am I getting through to you?" Ace: "And here's your key. See, I always keep a spare on every car, if it comes up. It's a lot less hassle when you have to repossess it." [Bo snatches the key and the papers]

It's the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article that I linked to. Someone on Facebook probably copied it from there. Try to research your own facts rather than just blindly copying someone else's work without acknowledgement.
