Currently, there are no Chevrolet's in NASCAR, and there haven't been for a very long time.

Oh yes! I hated homework. I hated school just as much!

Yep! Looks like you have some homework to do. 
After that, tell me how many episodes  show an action shot of the front wheel of the general from a side mounted camera?
Then after that, how many episodes show Bo & Luke blowing something up with high flying dynamite?
Then after that, what episode shows the boys drop dynamite from the General while flying over their target?
No cheating now. Only one question answered per all 7 seasons!  Wink. Wink.
 
 

I liked some parts of school, like art, shop class, lunch, and recess.

Wow. 
Glad I wasn't the only one. It wasn't for everyone, that's for sure! 

That was me, pretty much daily, no matter what the weather was. I've always been the high energy, can't sit still for long, type of person. Being "locked up" in school 8 hours a day was torture. I know exactly what those poor animals in the zoo feel like.

Oh yes! I hated homework. I hated school just as much!

Wow, not bad HossC, not bad.

Thanks RogerDuke, I enjoy being here. 
I do still have that cassette! I'm anxious to dig that out, both of my parents have passed and they may have been captured talking in the backgroind. I desperately want to hear their voices again. 
First I need to find a tape deck that I can trust to not eat that tape. 

I finally had a chance to do some exploring on this site and came across this thread. I started reading page 1, then had to skip to the last page to leave a comment. I will go back and read the rest later.
This is definitely my all time favorite movie! And I have to share this memory with you guys:
Back when I was around 9 years old, this had to be about 1980 or '81, somewhere in there. I remember it was my birthday, and my mom told me that the TV Guide showed that Smokey and the Bandit was going to be on at 7pm that night. Man, I was so excited, I couldn't wait until it came on! Now for all you young sheep out there, if you wanted to watch a favorite TV show or movie back then, you had to be up to date on your TV schedule and be in front of your TV at the right time if you wanted to see it. There was no renting it, streaming it, or buying it, back then. And you would hope the weather was good so it would come in clear! How many of you seasoned gents remember the frustration of a snowy picture??
Then around lunch time, my dad came home and he brought me a birthday gift. I got to open it right away, and found myself the proud owner of a brand new Panasonic cassette recorder and a 3 pack of blamk 90 minute tapes! Woohoo! I played with that thing all day, secretly recording peoples conversations, then playing them back for them. We had a lot of fun  that day. Today, you'd probably go to jail for that. 
Then, after all visitors were gone and the house was quiet, I kept watching the clock, every minute seemed like 10. Smokey and the Bandit is coming on at 7 and it's been on my mind all day, and it's taking for ever for it to get here. I was tinkering with my new tape recorder, watching the time, then suddenly I had a monumental idea. I can record Smokey and the Bandit!!!!!
I put fresh batteries in the recorder, installed a 90 minute tabe and made sure it was rewound to the begining, and had a 2nd tape ready for a back up just in case. When the clock hit 7:00 (finally!) I was ready! I was laying on the floor in front of our console TV, with my new tape recorder strategically positioned in front of one of the speakers, my finger hovering over the record button, and my heart racing in anticipation, waiting for the clock to strike 7.
 I had already managed to do a couple of quick trial runs with some commercials, and they worked perfectly, but I was still worried that something could go wrong. I had one shot to get this right. There will not be a "do-over" opportunity. This is it. Who knows if it well ever be on TV again, or when. 
Even at such a young age, I had enough sense to plan all this ahead, in a short amount of time,  in the final minutes before show time. Including calculating the movie length vs the tape length, hoping I could fit a 2 hour movie on a 90 minute tape if I cut all the commercials.
7:00 came, I hit record, cut the commercials, and successfully captured Smokey and the Bandit on cassette tape! Long before anyone ever dreamed of having a VCR in their homes. Long before you could ever know if you would ever see your favorite movie again. I had it! It was mine to enjoy whenever I wanted to! All those great songs, all that genius dialogue, all the engines roaring and tire squealing, all the crashes! Man, that was a great day! 
For many nights I would take that recorder to bed with me and fall asleep to Smokey chasing the Bandit and Snowman across theis great country. My best friend would sleep over a lot and we would listen to that movie while we played with my slot car tracks. I had two TCR slotless tracks with semi's  and cars, and I had tthree slot car tracks, one with 1978 Trans Ams (one black, one chrome). Man, those were some good times! 
Thank you HazzardNet community, for jogging some great memories!
 

I appreciate that HossC! 
So glad she didn't set off the smoke detector or something. She was always cooking & baking. Please don't get the wrong idea, she was an awesome cook. She never triggered the smoke detector, but if she was ever going to, it would be while I was recording. You know how it goes.

Of course. That's been a sales trick forever. But it depends on the product. If a seller is a dealer selling inventory of currently manufactured product, they might use that tactic. But if a seller is selling antiques, old collectables, thrift store items, etc, then 'last one" probably means last one.
For example, I had two identical Rickard Petty floor mats in my collection for many years. They were still brand new, I decided to sell them. I listed them as a single item but I had two available. Once the first one sold, eBay marked "last one" on the listing because I only had one left.
When I'm shopping on eBay, I ignore the "last one" tag, I don't let that persuade me to purchase anything.

That would be a fun challenge!

Oh my gosh! That joggs my memory, but I barely remember that. I have not seen or heard of that since it aired. Wow.

Sunny has his own series? I'm not up on modern shows, I don't like most of them so I don't go looking.
Yes, uncle Jesse is a great character. Denver was an amazing guardian over the actors. He and James trained them well and taught them some good lessons about life. That's  gold right there.

Yes sir, every Friday night at 7pm. Right after was my bedtime. I remember climbing into bed and hearing that stupid theme music from Dallas come on in the living room. I could never figure out how my mom could watch such a lame evening soap opera, especially after all the high thrills of the Dukes. 

Nice! Well, give or take. I don't know about you, but I burned up a General Lee big wheel and a few others while tearing up the sidewalks in my own little Hazzard County back in the day.
Did you watch the Dukes back then, during it's original airing?

Thank you! Glad to be here! 😄 

Forgive me y'all, but I just found this site. I've been watching The Dukes of Hazzard since it first aired (I was 7), and have been an absolute fan ever since! I grew up  in a Mopar family and have had my share of of muscle cars. I drive/own only Mopar, and the 1969 Charger has always been my favorite, I've had a couple of them. 
Anyway, most people on the show who come to Hazzard county, are just passing through, but I plan on staying for a while. Looking to rub shoulders with some like-minded people on here. I hope I can give at least as much as I get on this site.
Thanks in advance for puttin' up with me!
Keep it between the ditches y'all!

Breaker! Breaker!
Calling all citizens of Hazzard County!
I am looking for information on any, and all CB radios used in the tv series. Bo & Luke had a Cobra 78X in the General, but I don't know what everyone else used. I have always planned to search the episodes to put together a complete history on this, but I have yet to do so.  I am going to start with episode 1 to see what I can find.
Please add screenshots if you can. Looking for pictures and info on the radios, mics, antennas, and base stations shown throughout the show, and movies.
Thanks everyone!

.....Ok, back to your questions RogerDuke. 
I don't have a favorite season, scene. or episode. I love them all. Who else has that much video footage of their favorite car other than 1969 Dodge Charger fans? Not to mention all the other Mopar cars and trucks. I guess I tend to shy away from the Coy & Vance episodes, just because they're not Bo & Luke. When I was little, I was devastated when Bo & Luke left, I still watched every episode in anticipation of them coming back. It was a very long and painful wait. But then they finally returned, I mean, the angels were singing and heaven was shining down on me again!!! 
The only cast member I have met is John, which is sad because I don't live very far from Cooters Place in Pigeon Forge TN. Some of the others show up there once in a while. With our schedule, It's just difficult to get there when they are there.
As far as toys go, I do still have some of them. And I have some stuff that I got from John. When I was a kid I was loaded with Dukes stuff, I had the bedding set, curtains, waste basket, tv tray, cereal bowl set, dinner set, pj's, wallet, watch, belt buckle, tee shirts, activity books, posters, model cars, and countless toys. I wish I still had all that now.
Man, now I need to watch some Dukes!!!!

Yes sir RogeDuke! I will do that. I have not had the chance look around much. I was tempted to comment on a couple of threads but I didn't because they were old. On some of the Mopar forums that I visit, they seem to discourage that, at least that's my take on it. Thanks for the nudge.
I see wise ol' uncle Jesse on your avatar, is he your favorite character?
I will get to the rest of you questions one of these days. Sorry for the delay.
 

I know this is an old thread, but I know it can be done, I've seen it. The guy I sold my old Charger to restored it and turned into a General Lee. He had magnets made for all the decals. I know he drove it to our local shows without them blowing off, I don't know if he ever drove it on the highway. This was back around 2008-2010.
