This was the last appearance of Ernie Lively, who was previously in 'One Armed Bandits' and then three season 2 episodes. This time he played Clyde, the Guard at the impound yard.

I'm currently midway through watching a box set of a British sitcom called Hi-de-Hi!. It's about a holiday camp in the late-50s/early-60s, and was originally shown between 1980 and 1988. By a strange coincidence, less than 24 hours after Roger's review, the episode I'm watching has another reference to that scene in "It Happened One Night". When two staff members have to share a room, one of the others says, "Did you ever see that film with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert where they have to spend the night in the same room?". Another person then names the movie. The episode of Hi-de-Hi originally aired about a year before 'Close Call for Daisy', so maybe "It Happened One Night" was popular amongst script writers in the 1980s (on both sides of the Atlantic).

Here's the original scene:

He's referring to "the Walls of Jericho" scene from the 1934 Frank Capra comedy "It Happened One Night" starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.

Johnny Depp's got even scarier this week, but you'd have to be married to him!

She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its January 1976 issue, and now runs her own "Prophetic and Prayer Ministry". (That's Daina House, not Miz Tisdale )

I think he's just being disturbed at odd hours and the police come round to see the neighbor from time to time (although the police knocked on his door in the middle of the night a few weeks ago for no good reason). Luckily, I don't think he's having any direct confrontations.

Did you recognize Dewey's nurse? She was one of the car strippers in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'. The episode title is a parody of the 1967 movie 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying', which also starred Robert Morse.

Well done, Skipper. You've certainly made your mark on HNet in a short space of time.

Luckily, they've abandoned the gimmicks in F1. There's now an extra point for the fastest lap (so long as the driver finishes in the top 10), but that's about it. Unfortunately, this truncated season has been a bit one-sided - Mercedes collected their 7th consecutive Constructor's trophy yesterday, and Lewis Hamilton is about 99% certain of winning the Driver's trophy, but that's partly because Ferrari have had to make undisclosed changes to their car which left it off the pace. There was a little trial and error before they settled on the current qualifying format, but at least they dropped the one-season-only double points for the last race a few years ago.

Anna Louise was played by Stepfanie Kramer. This episode originally aired about six months before she made her debut in probably her best-known role as Dee Dee McCall in 'Hunter'.

Belated Happy Halloween, MonacoMan. Painting "01" on a pumpkin is such a simple idea, but I'm not sure if I've seen it before. With the country where I live in the middle of its second lockdown, Halloween was really a non-event this year (it's not as big as in US in the first place). I did see a few kids dressed up in Halloween costumes while I was in town yesterday, and several houses where I live have decorations up, but that was about it. I bet there'll be a lot of unsold merchandise in the stores that are closed.

And don't forget that Terry Labonte played a member of the pit crew (his part was uncredited). Mary Beth's car was painted to look like Terry's 1983 racecar.

Roger, if your wife watched 'Play it Again, Luke' with you, she may have recognized Candy Dix. Roberta Leighton apparently played Shirley Pickett in 12 episodes of General Hospital a year before she appeared in Dukes.

I didn't miss the opportunity yesterday, and got this double rainbow. BTW. Don't forget that rainbows here in Ireland have a leprechaun's pot of gold at the end .

That's great news, Spike, although I understand how it'll take a little time for the dust to settle. A friend of mine has a problem neighbor at moment. I'll have to check in and see how his meeting with the other residents went at the weekend.

The leaves here were beautiful about a week ago, but I didn't get any photos. I also missed a chance to photograph a rainbow this afternoon because I was driving. We had a bank holiday here today, so I went for a walk down by the river - something I started when we first went into lockdown earlier in the year. I was doing it at least once each weekend, but I've missed the last two, once due to being busy and once due to being lazy! As the country started to reopen, the number of fellow walkers started to drop off, but there were plenty out today now that we're in lockdown again.

I've been watching a few YouTube videos recently which show people restoring/customizing Matchbox diecast vehicles. I came across one today where the YouTuber was making a Smokey and the Bandit/Back to the Future crossover called 'Time Bandit'. In the video, he also shows an earlier time machine crossover which he referred to as 'Back to Hazzard' - you can probably guess what vehicle he based it on:

Nancy Hinman, who played Vonnie, had a sparse acting career. Dukes was her second acting credit, but her first was five years earlier as a nurse in CHiPs, which is why she looked familiar to me. Her later credits were three episodes of Knots Landing in 1986, a 1987 movie called Carly's Web (which also featured Gary Grubbs (Luke's Love Story and Vance's Lady) and Ramon Bieri (Undercover Dukes)), and two episodes of St. Elsewhere.

Northampton is about 100 miles inland. The Titanic sailed from Southampton on the south coast of England, and called at Cherbourg in northern France and Queenstown (now called Cobh) in Ireland before starting across the Atlantic.

Another quick F1 hijack: After equalling Michael Schumacher's win record at the last race, it was inevitable that it wouldn't take too long for Lewis Hamilton to become the driver with the most wins in F1 history. Today he started on pole, and despite briefly slipping back to third near the start, he regained the lead and never looked back. He won his 92nd Grand Prix in some style with a margin of over 25 seconds to his team mate in second. Only four cars finished on the lead lap, and Lewis also got the extra point for fastest lap. It now looks like he's on his way to equalling Michael Schumacher's record of seven World Championships at the end of the season.

I've just noticed that on the "Forums" tab, the "Images" sidebar is showing blue rectangles with a film strip icon instead of images. When I go to the "Gallery" section, many of the images are missing.

I'd say that they're more like synopses than reviews, but you capture the main points of the plots. A couple of bits of trivia wouldn't go amiss, and a few paragraph breaks would make them easier to read. Always consider your reader when you're writing! I've corrected the prize money in your Reunion! review as requested.

If you're referring to Enos' colleague Tami Sparrow in Hazzard in Hollywood, she was a different character played by Susan Yeagley. She just had a similar name.

Jennifer Lyons, who played Tammy, the blonde who arrives with Bo in the Reunion! movie, was Jimmie Best's niece. She also starred in the 2012 movie 'Return of the Killer Shrews', which was co-written by Jimmie and also starred John Schneider and Rick Hurst.
