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.

It may be a US expression, but it's well known over here too.

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.

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).

I commented on the misidentification of the 00 as Cooter's Mustang in the Dukes of Hazzard Diecast Models thread. I also mentioned the additional erroneous hood scoop on the newer models and the failure of the manufacturers to make it more screen-correct. My 2001 model just says "1968 Mustang GT" on the box. If you read further down the diecast thread, you'll also see where they could've made Cooter's Camaro (yes, this one was Cooter's from 'Luke's Love Story') closer to the one on the show, and put the right wheels on Daisy's Roadrunner.

Not to worry, Spike, thanks for keeping us updated. There are more and more names I don't recognize in the results - I'll have to try and catch a race again sometime.

I was up early this morning (6am local time) to watch the Australian Grand Prix - the first to be held there since 2019. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc snatched pole position yesterday ahead of the two Red Bulls. His team mate, Carlos Sainz Jr., got caught out by a red flag and only qualified 9th. Mercedes still haven't got a handle on their new car, but Lewis Hamilton and George Russell qualified 5th and 6th behind the McLaren of Lando Norris.

In the race, Carlos Sainz Jr. had a bad start and then beached his car in the gravel after only one lap. Both Mercedes cars made up places at the start, but it was Charles Leclerc's Ferrari and Max Verstappen's Red Bull that led the way for most of the race. George Russell managed to leapfrog Lewis Hamilton by pitting under a safety car. Towards the end, Max Verstappen had another mechanical failure, which means that he's had two DNFs in three races. Maybe it's karma for the way he won last year's championship!

The top 10 were:
1 Charles Leclerc Ferrari  2 Sergio Perez Red Bull  3 George Russell Mercedes  4 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes  5 Lando Norris McLaren  6 Daniel Ricciardo McLaren  7 Esteban Ocon Alpine  8 Valtteri Bottas Alfa Romeo  9 Pierre Gasly AlphaTauri  10 Alex Albon Williams  That's three British drivers in the top 5, a good double points finish for McLaren, and the first point of the year for Williams.

Thanks, Roger. HazzardNet is very much a team effort by all the Hazzardites.

I hope everyone's enjoying their turkey. I probably won't get any until nearer Christmas when turkey and ham starts to appear on menus. One of the local sandwich shops usually does a turkey, ham, stuffing and cranberry mayonnaise special which I'm looking forward to.

Thanks, Spike. It's been a while since the two have coincided, not that we celebrate Thanksgiving over here. As mentioned above, we do now have Black Friday. So far I've just had a quiet day at home. Hopefully I'll get to see a few friends over the weekend.

Thanks everyone. You guys in the US have really gone to a lot of trouble for my birthday this year.

I keep getting scam text messages giving me websites to track my parcel deliveries or some variant. There seems to be a lot of them going around. The fact that I don't order online kind of gives their game away.

Here's some non-copyright banjo music. One of the comments suggested playing it at 1.5x speed for car chase music.

It looks great, but I struggled to read the questions with more than about a second left to read the answers. Could you possibly put the question up for about 5 seconds and then reveal the answer choices with the 5 second countdown? I know I could pause the video, but that defeats the point of having a countdown timer.

I don't have much sympathy - I filled up with unleaded last night at €1.67/litre. If my sums are correct, that's about $7.33/US gallon.
