CB Talk

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!

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

Thanks HossC, that's a good start! I will check those out.

I wonder how many different types of walkie talkies were used. That would probably be tougher to figure out. 

[Breaker1]

That would be a fun challenge!

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.

[Breaker1]

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.

Being a grown up is fun. I remember the days when I hated homework. 

[Breaker1]

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

Especially on days when the weather was nice. It was so tough to be stuck inside. I was always looking out the window daydreaming.
