I ended up watching the first three episodes of Dukes just over a week ago, completely forgetting that the anniversary was coming. In my defense, the UK anniversary isn't until March!

I knew this anniversary was coming up, but had a busy weekend and forgot. I could've sworn I'd posted the listing below already on HNet, but couldn't find it. It's from British TV guide the Radio Times, and shows details of the debut of 'One Armed Bandits' (NB. I've rearranged the original layout to make it more screen-friendly).
 
I've just noticed that they misspelled Gy's names as Guy near the bottom.

March 3rd. There's a thread about the 40th anniversary here.

We have to wait until February 29th for the start of the F1 season. I don't remember any previous Grands Prix being on a Saturday (they're always on a Sunday unless they're cancelled - there are no delayed races like there are in NASCAR), but the first two of this season, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, are on a Saturday this season due to Ramadan. We also get 24 races 2024 - the most ever. I just hope that the other teams have caught up with Red Bull over the winter so we get some racing this year!

I don't know if it was the same in the US, but a lot of people here were commenting that it didn't feel much like Christmas, even in the final run-up last week (even with the constant Christmas music!). Maybe it's because most people had a full working week up until the December 22nd. Despite this, everyone I know seems to have had an enjoyable Christmas when it finally came. I hope the same is true for y'all.

New Year's only two hours away here, but I'm not sure I have the energy to stay up until midnight. Happy New Year to all on HazzardNet.

Cale was on two - 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough' and 'Cale Yarborough Comes to Hazzard'. Very sad to hear of his death.

I read this just after seeing that former Indianapolis 500 winner Gil de Ferran passed away on Friday at just 56. He suffered a heart attack at a private motor racing club in Opa-locka, Florida.

You're probably thinking of this scene in 'The Revenge of Hughie Hogg' (S5E13). Boss has told Rosco that he's supporting Hughie Hogg for sheriff:
Lulu: "...and until you give Rosco his job back you're gonna have to find another place to feed your face and lay that body down. Now, I mean it. And I mean it."
Boss: "Oh, Lulukins, please."
Lulu: "I do."
Boss: "I don't mind about the laying down but I sure gotta have the feeding."

Happy Birthday, MeadowMufn. I hope we get to see more of you in 2024.

I saw this yesterday and wasn't sure whether to post it. Hobie did the right thing by just posting the headline. The full story is on many sites - the UK newspaper The Guardian came up first in my search:

Just remember to keep politics out of any comments you may have.

I can't imagine a remake of Dukes being made anytime soon, no matter who's in it.

I'd certainly be in favor of any new show/movie with female leads and a decent script. I hope we've come to an end of the fad for remaking male led movies with a female cast. To me, that just says, "We couldn't think of any good ideas for original movies with women, so we'll rehash one with men and hope for the best!".

"You're a regular P.T. BARNUM and BAILEY."

Rosco when Boss announces plans to make money from Rock Marlowe's trial in 'Deputy Dukes'.

The actress was Lori Lethin who played Lori in 'Southern Comfurts'. Her line was, "Yeah, but necessity's the mother of intervention, ain't she?"

I like to see a good mixture of male/female ratios across TV shows. Some environments are predominantly biased to towards a single gender, so it wouldn't reflect reality if we try to keep them all even.

Two of my favorite British sitcoms are 'Porridge' and 'dinnerladies'. The former is set in a male prison, which doesn't give the opportunity for many female roles. The latter is set in a factory cafeteria where seven of the nine main actors are female (including the one who also wrote the show). Others I like may have a male or female in the lead role with a mixed supporting cast.

So long as there's a good variety across the shows, I'm fine with that.
