March 9, 20251 yr 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!
March 9, 20251 yr There are a few models listed in other threads, some with pictures: Cooter apparently had a Radio Shack REALISTIC TRC-432 NAVAJO CB base station https://hazzardnet.com/forums/topic/5960-cb-radios-on-tdoh/ This thread shows the Cobra 77x, 78x and the Sharp 40 Channel https://hazzardnet.com/forums/topic/6050-which-cb-radio-was-in-the-general-lee-in-the-tv-series/
March 10, 20251 yr I wonder how many different types of walkie talkies were used. That would probably be tougher to figure out.
March 13, 20251 yr I wondered how many episodes had dirt bikes on them so I watched all 7 seasons and made a list. Of course I am always looking for a reason to watch episodes. Hmm, I wonder how many episodes show people fishing. Looks like I need to start over.
March 13, 20251 yr Author 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.

March 20, 20251 yr Author 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.
March 21, 20251 yr I met one of my middle school teachers at Walmart after I'd grown up, got married etc. She said I hated school worse than any kid she ever knew!

March 23, 20251 yr When I got in high school I could have got better grades but couldn't afford college anyways so there was no incentive to work hard in class. "Rich man goes to college. Poor man goes to work" Charlie Daniels, Long Haired Country Boy

"Rich man goes to college. Poor man goes to work" Charlie Daniels, Long Haired Country Boy well....that USED to be so....now college is another form of welfare. The Feds will pay for your room, board etc. if you're in school. I know people I went to school with that weren't even trying to graduate! They had hundreds of credits but no degree. That happens when you switch majors 3/4 0f the way through.
March 25, 20251 yr I didn't hate school, but it wasn't my favorite thing. I enjoyed being on the softball and basketball teams more than academics. That said, I ended up valedictorian of my graduation class. Every quarter, the coaches would go around asking grades to see if players were still eligible for the team, after about the second quarter, they stopped asking me. LOL.
March 25, 20251 yr Like MM, I didn't hate school either. I was lucky enough to go to a very good school with some excellent teachers. We had a fairly traditional (for the UK at least) school uniform, and I really missed my blazer and its pockets when I left!

After I got out of college, got married etc., I saw a teacher from way back in grade school and when she asked me what I'd been doing, I told her I went to college, she said she couldn't believe it because I hated school worse than anyone she's ever known!
