I looked up filming locations for Little House on the Prairie on IMDb, and the only two I recognized as Dukes filming locations were Lake Sherwood (apparently used for homestead exteriors) and Laramie Street at Warner Bros' Studios. Lake Sherwood was the more rural of these locations, but I haven't heard this story. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for sharing.

Roth Potter's pictures are sadly no longer visible, but you can find this and dozens of other bloopers in the Mistakes (Bloopers)/Things I've Noticed About The Show thread.

The following is an extract from a North Dakota State University article: The second paragraph's timeline ties in nicely with 'High Octane'.

I'm sorry, Roger, I don't know the time-frame since we changed forum software (I think it used to be 10 minutes). It may be that new members have to attain a certain number of posts to be able to edit them. I can't easily test it myself since moderators can edit anyone's posts at any time!

MOONRUNNERS

I've already played "Waylon JENNINGS", so now we need a "K".

Waylon JENNINGS Until we get to the tricky letters, can we stick to words beginning with the appropriate letter. I've already deleted one reply that didn't follow the alphabet!

The Georgia episodes were first, then they moved filming to California. The Warner Bros' back lot appeared in all seven seasons for the urban scenes, but rural scenes were filmed mainly on Disney's Golden Oaks Ranch, Lake Sherwood and Valencia Oaks Ranch in that order (as well as surrounding roads). There are several mentions of Golden Oaks in the Hazzard Square thread. We also discussed its use in the Herbie movies in this thread.

Welcome to HNet, Danny. There were a few login issues after the last forum software update, but they're hopefully all sorted now.

It may be a US expression, but it's well known over here too.

Challenge (There's a long-running UK quiz show for universities called 'University Challenge') He was apparently called Professor Hinkle (thanks, Google!)

IMDb says that the final episode, 'Opening Night at the Boar's Nest', was filmed between December 20, 1984 and January 2, 1985. That's only just over a month before the original air date of February 8, 1985. Remember that much like Wikipedia, these sections of IMDb are edited by the public, so you might want to double-check the filming dates with another source.

Just before Hannibal punches the guy in the face, the bad guy does a pretty good Dukes-style hood slide.

I miscounted - it was 13 days earlier on April 2 (Good Friday last year).

And belated birthday wishes from me, Roger (sorry, I was out until late yesterday). A friend of mine turned 62 at the beginning of the month - I should've remembered that you were about 10 days younger.

I commented on the misidentification of the 00 as Cooter's Mustang in the Dukes of Hazzard Diecast Models thread. I also mentioned the additional erroneous hood scoop on the newer models and the failure of the manufacturers to make it more screen-correct. My 2001 model just says "1968 Mustang GT" on the box. If you read further down the diecast thread, you'll also see where they could've made Cooter's Camaro (yes, this one was Cooter's from 'Luke's Love Story') closer to the one on the show, and put the right wheels on Daisy's Roadrunner.

CARNIVAL of Thrills

One ARMED Bandits Might as well start at the beginning. I'm not checking for duplicates from old posts.

Not to worry, Spike, thanks for keeping us updated. There are more and more names I don't recognize in the results - I'll have to try and catch a race again sometime. I was up early this morning (6am local time) to watch the Australian Grand Prix - the first to be held there since 2019. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc snatched pole position yesterday ahead of the two Red Bulls. His team mate, Carlos Sainz Jr., got caught out by a red flag and only qualified 9th. Mercedes still haven't got a handle on their new car, but Lewis Hamilton and George Russell qualified 5th and 6th behind the McLaren of Lando Norris. In the race, Carlos Sainz Jr. had a bad start and then beached his car in the gravel after only one lap. Both Mercedes cars made up places at the start, but it was Charles Leclerc's Ferrari and Max Verstappen's Red Bull that led the way for most of the race. George Russell managed to leapfrog Lewis Hamilton by pitting under a safety car. Towards the end, Max Verstappen had another mechanical failure, which means that he's had two DNFs in three races. Maybe it's karma for the way he won last year's championship! The top 10 were: 1 Charles Leclerc Ferrari 2 Sergio Perez Red Bull 3 George Russell Mercedes 4 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes 5 Lando Norris McLaren 6 Daniel Ricciardo McLaren 7 Esteban Ocon Alpine 8 Valtteri Bottas Alfa Romeo 9 Pierre Gasly AlphaTauri 10 Alex Albon Williams That's three British drivers in the top 5, a good double points finish for McLaren, and the first point of the year for Williams. You can watch the race highlights here.

Here's some non-copyright banjo music. One of the comments suggested playing it at 1.5x speed for car chase music.
