With Dukes already back on TV over here, I decided to fill some of my time off by continuing the '70s/'80s TV theme by rewatching 'CHiPs'. I'm near the end of season 2 and what pops up?: an episode called 'Quarantine' about an Asian boy who turns up at the CHP HQ possibly carrying a deadly virus. As a precaution, everyone who's been in contact with him faces up to two weeks' isolation in the building. What a great way to take my mind off the current situation!

The Dukes of Hazzard was definitely shown in Ireland, but I grew up in England. The UK got Dukes about five weeks after the US ('One Armed Bandits' debuted on January 26th in the US and March 3rd in the UK). It was initially shown at 9pm on a Saturday night (maybe a reflection of the more adult tone of the Georgia episodes), and as I was only eight at the time, I wasn't allowed to watch it very often. It then got an earlier slot and I became a regular viewer. Last year I posted the original UK TV listing from 1979 to celebrate 40 years of Dukes - you can see that here.

I see you put the college parking sticker on the windshield - that's attention to detail!

I tried to work it out, but I think they painted over the magazine's name.

Although it was better with the chat room.

We'll definitely have to do this again.

It was WB's Western set. 'Laramie' seems to have been filmed at Universal Studios.

It was all readable. Maybe paste as unformatted text next time (you get an option at the bottom of the reply window when you paste into it).

Flint, check out the last 15 seconds of this clip from 'The Big Bang Theory' - it shows the set that now stands where Laramie Street was.

That's the end credits for me .

It's now a suburban street set.

Is it just me, or is there a lot more background music in the first season?

It's a shame they demolished Laramie Street.

Not by much.

Dressed up marshmallow .

Swamp Molly's truck.

They nearly forgot their prisoner!

Roger - don't forget to listen for the "redneck" mention when they get to Springville.

Police uniforms with cowboy boots .

Even Rosco's dogs don't believe him. This was long before Flash.

Don't forget to look for the visible jeans when they're supposed to be naked blooper.

And we're off...

Shall we start then?

Five minutes to go - who's in?

Admittedly, it was rare, but not the only time. Take a listen to the bad guys in the blue car as Bo and Luke arrive in Springville when we watch 'Deputy Dukes' later today.
