    HossC got a reaction from Hobie Hartkins in R. I. P. Loretta Lynn   
    From Gy Waldron in 'The Dukes Of Hazzard - Building the Legend' DVD extra:
    When Loretta Lynn came in she had a terrible sore throat. It was the kind of sore throat that if an actor had had it, you wouldn't see him for two days. And...But she's in town, she's going to do a concert with this sore throat, and she's going to be on 'Dukes of Hazzard'. And so she comes in and she sings. And, I just remember thinking that this...That's a typical coal miner's daughter. "I've come to work, and if I drop in my tracks, that's what I'm here to do."

    I just heard this sad news on the radio before I left work. They have a spot each week where they talk to a pair of American correspondents with differing political views, but both were united in their tributes to Loretta Lynn. RIP to the Coal Miner's Daughter.

    HossC got a reaction from Hobie Hartkins in Jessica Marie Alba as Daisy Duke   
    Given that the premise of this thread was about playing Daisy in the 2005 movie, I'd have to say no as Kate was 13 years old when the movie came out.

    No one could ever replace Cathy. She managed to play Daisy as sexy, demure and smart - a tough act to pull off. Anyone else playing Daisy would need all of these qualities. I also think that the part should have gone to a relatively unknown actor, but the studio would never have gone for that in a blockbuster movie.

    HossC got a reaction from RogerDuke in Radio Control Dukes cars   
    The car, complete with 3D printed pieces, looks really good. For some reason the sound was about six seconds out of sync when I watched it, but it seems OK now that I've refreshed the page, so it was probably an issue at my end. Just one little criticism - the side markers on the front fenders are further forward and higher on a '69 Charger.

    BTW. I used to work in the sign industry many years ago, before the modern re-positionable vinyls were available. We used to make our own application spray with a dilution of a detergent called Brij. I don't know how easy it is to get hold of.

    HossC got a reaction from RogerDuke in Best Series DVD set?   
    I noticed that one of the DVD reviews complained that the episodes were in the wrong order because Daisy's yellow car reappears after she gets the Jeep. They obviously didn't know that this was a studio continuity error from the start. Having said that, I do seem to recall that two of my DVDs are labeled incorrectly - disc 3 is actually disc 4 and vice versa.

    Wikipedia gives a range of 255 to 325, the higher figure being attributed to Ben Jones. At the end of the day, no one knows. It's probably safe to say that the total number is around 300, or roughly two cars per episode.

    'The Andy Griffith Show' ran for 249 episodes/8 seasons from 1960 to 1968. From what I've read, Andy decided to leave the show to pursue a movie career and other projects. 'Mayberry R.F.D.' was a spin-off/continuation of 'The Andy Griffith Show' that still had many of the same characters. It ran for 78 episodes/3 seasons from 1968 to 1971 - Andy Griffith appeared in 6 episodes.

    'Mayberry R.F.D.' was cancelled as part of CBS' "rural purge" where they wanted to make more politically correct shows targeted at a younger, more urban audience. Other victims of the purge were 'The Beverly Hillbillies', 'Petticoat Junction' and 'Green Acres'. A network cancelling a popular rural-based TV show, now that sounds familiar...

    We used to do that a few years ago when we had a chatroom on HNet, although I think it was Saturday night. The problem for me is the time difference. I'm just about to go to bed and most of you guys are probably still at work!

    Lois Hamilton had degrees in Psychology and Fine Arts from the US and Italy. She was a talented sculptor, and was also an accomplished aerobatic pilot flying her 1936 German biplane. Sadly, it looks like things got too much for Lois. In May 1999 she was injured in a head-on car collision while under the influence of cocaine and diet pills, and in December 1999 she committed suicide in a Brazilian hotel. She was 56.
