Augie DETWEILLER Hobie, I changed your previous entry to capital letters just to make it clearer which word you were playing.

Cale YARBOROUGH Comes to Hazzard

I watched it once, but it must've been over 40 years ago. The captain was played by Laurence Naismith in 'A Night to Remember'. Fifteen years before 'Titanic', Bernard Hill played a very different character called Yosser Hughes in a gritty British drama series called 'Boys From the Black Stuff'. It followed the lives of five unemployed men in Liverpool in 1982. Here's Hughes as Yosser with what became a catchphrase of the time (UK unemployment hit 3 million around this time). His character also had a violent side, frequently head-butting people with what became known as a 'Yosser Kiss'.

I can't remember the name of the show. It was a couple of years ago now.

I've seen a documentary on the theory that there was a fire in one of the bunkers, and it was a convincing argument, but many experts don't seem to think that there was any such fire.

VANCE Duke

RETURN of the RIDGE RAIDERS (Seeing as it's currently in my signature!)

Golden OAK Ranch

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.
