Another day, another tribute. I've just seen that we've lost Betty Wright at only 66. The report I read said she'd been battling cancer. Here's 'Shoorah! Shoorah!':

Nice tribute, Roger. I've just looked at Denver's bio on IMDb. Apparently, he dropped out of university to become a drummer! You learn something new every day.

The car the boys bought off of Hobie to replace the General was a pale yellow '74 Plymouth Satellite. It was very similar to Daisy's Georgia car, but a lighter color and a base model without the Road Runner decals. Coy and Vance also turned up in a '74 Plymouth Satellite, but theirs was blue.

You have a good memory, Roger. That was in 'Moving Violation', the fourth episode of the first season. It originally aired on October 13, 1977. The small car he wrecked was a Honda 600.

No, there was no limp in CHiPs. They destroyed several classics in that episode. It started with a very clean looking '73 Charger, and they probably wrecked two each of the '69 Mustang and the '71 Camaro.

Another couple of crossover guest stars with CHiPs. I thought the getaway driver in the episode 'Crash Course' looked familiar - it was Don Stroud, who played Carl in 'Carnival of Thrills'. The episode also featured a black Mustang with red flames and a hood bulge that looked very like Lucifer, but it was '69 instead of a '68. Yesterday I watched the CHiPs episode 'Satan's Angels' which revolved around a biker gang. One of the members was Mickey Jones, AKA. B.B. Davenport from Dukes.

Also in 'Uncle Boss', Cooter needed a truck big enough to hide Hughie's VW inside, and said that he borrowed it. That's despite it having faded signwriting with Cooter's name on the sides.

I've just spotted Daisy's yellow car making another return in 'Uncle Boss' in season 3. The plot needed Daisy's car to have a trunk for Hughie to plant the moonshine. Apparently, this episode was meant to be shown in the first half of season 2, which also explains why Enos is back from LA (four episodes after leaving).

Little Richard has passed away at the age of 87. He was cited as an influence by acts such as The Beatles, Elvis and Elton John. From 1957, here's Lucille:

Roger, you're right about Mason Dixon's Girls, and in your current viewing run, you'll recognize the other car in about another five episodes.

The General looks great, and I know which episodes the other cars are from, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of them.

A 5.3l V12 1971 Jaguar XK-E (or E-Type if you live outside North America). In standard spec, the Jag was over a second slower to 60mph compared to a 1969 Charger R/T with a V8 Hemi and 3-speed auto transmission, but their top speeds were very similar. Obviously, the General was a race car, so should have been faster than stock. Here's how Top Gear paid tribute to the E-Type on its 50th birthday back in 2011 (with just a touch of patriotism):

It was the other way around, Spike. Daisy had a '73/'74 Plymouth Road Runner in the Georgia episodes and a '71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring (with graphics to look like the later Road Runner) for the end of season 1 and part of season 2. The last appearance should have been when it went over the cliff in 'The Runaway', but, due to the episodes being shown out of order (as Roger mentions above), the yellow car briefly returned four episodes later in 'Find Loretta Lynn'. From 'One Armed Bandits': From 'Money to Burn':

Most people didn't even have VCRs when Dukes was first shown let alone DVDs or the internet. Even if you spotted the car change (or any other difference), you had no way to check it, and you'd probably forgotten about it by the reruns.

Here's a reminder of Rick Hurst in M*A*S*H (from this thread): And from the Trivia thread, you'll recognize "A" as Mary Jo Catlett. She arrived at the 4077 with Blythe Danner (i.e. Gwyneth Paltrow's mother), who was a central character in that episode. Unlike Blythe, Mary Jo got to make a couple more appearances (one of which was on TV last night). Considering the overlap in production runs of Dukes and M*A*S*H, it's hardly surprising that actors turned up in both. As an example, a couple of weeks ago i spotted Teddy Wilson in M*A*S*H - he was Morgan, one of Helen Hogan's heavies in 'Route 7-11'.

He played Gen. Wilson Spaulding Barker in M*A*S*H. Here's a screengrab from the Sorrell Pics From Before Dukes thread.

I think that's more than one thread, Roger. Here are two I found (they were both started by you): Residents of Hazzard County Map of Hazzard There may even be another that lists landmarks/places, but if it exists, I haven't found that one yet.

No, I just know where to look! BTW. I was one of them long hairs when I dun my learnin'.

Fast times

You can check out details on IMDb. It looks like Clark Duke's younger brother, Chandler Duke, is also in the movie, so you could say that it features the Duke Boys. BTW. They say that the writer of the original book is John Brandon.
