And because Jeep (in the form of AMC) were supplying the cars.

I suppose I do me chase them down, Roger. The rare die-cast cars (maybe with a different color roof or interior to the regular model) are referred to a "chase" cars because you have to chase around the stores looking for them.

It's pretty much the same in Ireland. There are/were only a couple of model stores, but all of my Dukes cars came from the US. Luckily, I was able to buy most of my collection when the exchange rate was much better, and the post office only caught me for duty (import tax) on a couple of them!

There's only one listing for Daisy's car at 1:18 at the moment, and the seller's asking $300 for it. Meanwhile, Cooter's green Camaro is still available for $50-60. I bought a 1:18 In Violet (Plum Crazy Purple) Plymouth Roadrunner before Daisy's one came out, so I'll probably stick with that. It's actually rarer than the Dukes one (it's 1 of 1254), but is likely to be worth less than half!

Great collection, wotan. I don't have any of the recent releases, and probably haven't added to my die-cast collection for about five years. The new patrol cars are tempting - I might have to try and track them down.

Welcome to HazzardNet. I hope you'll be posting some pictures when you get settled in. Regarding the props, another HNet member managed to track down replicas of many of the items in Cooter's Garage on ebay. It'll probably be a slow process, but I guess you already know that!

As a reminder, Colleen Camp plays Bonnie Lane in "Trouble at Cooter's". She's one of the robbers trying to steal back the fur coats.

Willkommen bei HNet (Welcome to HNet), GermanDukeBoy. Check out this thread - it's got several DVD covers in other languages. There's also the French and Italian theme songs!

1974 Plymouth Satellites also appeared in a couple of episodes in season 4. The car that Bo and Luke trade the General for in 'Goodbye, General Lee' was a 1974 Plymouth Satellite, and so was Molly Hargrove's race car in 'Birds Gotta Fly'.

It was a 1974 Plymouth Satellite, very similar to Daisy's original 1973 Road Runner from the Georgia episodes.

Welcome to HNet, Bryce. Thanks for your comments - I'm glad you enjoy my work. A few years ago I shared my Boar's Nest artwork with someone claiming they wanted to make a banner for their son's birthday. Soon afterwards, I spotted my artwork popping up across the internet. Even my posted bitmaps are being ripped off - since Christmas I've found a diecast company using my Dixie artwork to promote a new model, and an ebay seller using my artwork to sell paper models of various Dukes vehicles - all without permission. On the plus side, I have also shared artwork with HNet members for various personal projects, and felt honored when I saw the results. Because of the above, I made the decision not to share high quality (vector) versions of my artwork with people I don't know. If you stick around and show us that you're a genuine fan of the show, I'll reconsider. Sorry, but once you've been burned...

That makes a lot of sense. When Warner Bros. realized how popular the General Lee was, they obviously made sure there was never a shortage again (excluding the episodes where they used models for the stunts, which I believe was partly down to costs and partly due to lack of available Chargers).

It's not a unique name. I did a quick google and also found a Boss Hog burger offered by the Hog's Breath Cafe across Australia, and a limited edition Boss Hog burger offered a few years ago by Hopdaddy in Austin, TX. They all have a sing "g" on "Hog" (most likely for copyright reason as already mentioned), and the Australian one is trade marked.

craft The guy in the junk yard isn't named in the dialogue and he's only credited as "The Yard Manager". He didn't find out who the Duke Boys were either, as when the crooks ask about the people who bought the crashed car he says, "I don't have no names, it was a cash deal."

Welcome to HNet, GigGuy. In all seven seasons, 'Mary Kaye's Baby' (S01E03) is the only episode in which the General doesn't appear. I guess the people making the show had no idea by the third episode that the General would become so iconic, and end up being at least as famous as the stars of the show. Many shows in the '70s and '80s were based around a vehicle, e.g. KITT in 'Knight Rider', the Coyote X in 'Hardcastle and McCormick' etc., but early episodes of Dukes weren't like that. The show's formula wasn't really established until filming was moved to California for episode 6, and maybe even as late as the start of season 2.

Here are two episodes that spring to mind: Neil Bishop drives the General in 'The Big Heist', and Andy Slocum drives the General in 'Big Brothers, Duke'. In both cases they drive the General without permission!

We use both of those expressions over here. I read that he'd died last week, but with the fires in Australia, impeachment hearings in the US and Harry & Meghan stepping back from their royal duties in the UK (and an election being called in Ireland), I don't think it grabbed many headlines. There's a short BBC article below: 'First Middle-earth scholar' Christopher Tolkien dies

I knew it was a mistake posting about the mild weather. Today it was -4°C when I went to work, and although it's a little warmer now, there's still a think layer of frost in shady areas.

I think we've had less than half a dozen mornings this winter where I've had to scrape the frost off my windshield, but it was still -2°C when I went out at about 9.30am yesterday. My backyard gets very little sun at this time of year, and I think the frost lasted all day on my shed roof.

I had a look through my reference pictures that I used for my FanArt version of Daisy's Jeep, but nothing shows the antenna clearly. Then I turned to the internet and found this updated version of Daisy's Jeep for sale (sorry, no antenna): There's a brief description below, with more info an pics at www.doetschmotorsports.com. It's $65,000 BTW. This is a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL 4x4 Custom "Daisy Duke Dixie Edition”, built by renowned Jeep builders, Doetsch Off-Road of Scottsdale Arizona. With only 128 actual miles and powered by a 2.0-liter I4 turbo engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this Jeep features custom retro graphics that take you right back to the original Hazzard County Daisy Duke Jeep - including the iconic Golden Eagle and “Dixie Daisy” hood graphics.

Undercover (Terry Labonte appeared in 'Undercover Dukes')

Rick mainly filled in while Sonny was making Dukes spin-off 'Enos', so although they both appeared in many episodes, not many overlap. Here's my quick list: 'Money to Burn' 'The Rustlers' 'Enos Strate to the Top' 'Uncle Boss' 'The New Dukes' 'Dukes Strike it Rich' 'Lawman of the Year' 'Coy Meets Girl' 'Big Daddy' And both the TV movies: 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!' 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood' Sonny is in the credits of 'The Meeting' and 'Road Pirates', but does not appear in the episodes. Rick's first couple of appearances were as 'Cousin Cletus' rather than as a deputy.

You could still celebrate Chinese New Year on January 25th.

The background skyline in both shots is virtually identical (with the exception of the greater number of tall buildings in The Walking Dead), which would suggest that they were filmed from roughly the same place, but the foreground of The Walking Dead shot doesn't match the real location. I would guess that it was either created with CGI or filmed somewhere else and composited with the real background. With this in mind, it's hard to say if the bridge that's visible in both shots is the same one, even though it should be at the same location. You can check out the location on Google Streetview here.

It's in Cathy's bio on HNet's homepage, and it was a 2012 question in the Trivia thread (at some point the 'B)'s have been turned into smilies).
