The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread

[Roth Potter]

A Comic book of a superhero.

[Hobie Hartkins]

No it was a Warner Brothers cartoon character of some sort...but I can't remember which. He said he still had a Porky Pig and something else that he hadn't read yet!!

[RogerDuke]

I was only looking for comic book for an answer so you're both right.

From the same episode who was the former owner of the motorcycle that was in Waylon's rolling museum?

[Roth Potter]

Johnny Cash? I've got no idea at this one.

[HossC]

I used to know this, but my mind's gone blank. I'm pretty sure it was a famous singer. Any chance of muliple choice, Roger?

[RogerDuke]

I'll put up some multiple choices tomorrow.

[RogerDuke]

From the same episode who was the former owner of the motorcycle that was in Waylon's rolling museum?

A) Hank Williams Sr.

Willie Nelson

C) Chubby Checker

D) Buddy Holly

[Roth Potter]

A) Hank Williams Sr.

[HossC]

Thanks Roger. Now I see the options, D) Buddy Holly rings a bell. Of course I could be remembering a completely different storyline .

[Hobie Hartkins]

It is for a fact...Buddy Holly!!

[RogerDuke]

4 H's it is. Hobie Harkins and Hoss got Holly.

Buddy Holly wasn't anybody who had a career that I followed. I was a little too young for that and my parents only listened to country and western music. I thought he was only a rocker so I was surprised his motorcycle was in a country music museum but then again I don't know much about him.

Fill in the blank.

Big (blank) Hogg of Rapaho County is Boss's cousin.

1) Mike

2) Hoss

3) Bubba

4) Dan

5) Joe

[B.L. Davenport]

Dan

[HossC]

I think BL's right. Dan sounds familiar from when I was looking up county names last week (otherwise I wouldn't have a clue!).

Buddy Holly wasn't anybody who had a career that I followed. I was a little too young for that and my parents only listened to country and western music. I thought he was only a rocker so I was surprised his motorcycle was in a country music museum but then again I don't know much about him.

Roger, don't forget that Waylon was the bass player in Buddy Holly's band on the Winter Dance Party Tour at the time of Holly's death in a plane crash. The crash also killed J. P. Richardson aka. The Big Bopper and Richie Valens. Waylon gave his seat on the plane to Richardson.

I'm not sure if it's the same bike, but according to this article, Buddy Holly bought a maroon and black Ariel Cyclone in 1958. His father kept it until 1970, but in 1979 a couple of The Crickets tracked it down, bought it, and presented to Waylon for his birthday.

[RogerDuke]

Wow! Awesome piece of historical information Hoss. Thanks!

[Hobie Hartkins]

Im sorry I missed the show earlier, but when the wife calls.... it was Big Dan Hogg, and as far as Waylon's connection with Buddy Holly, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens, all big rockers back in the day, crashed on Feb. 3, 1959. Waylon was supposed to be on that plane and gave his seat up to the Big Bopper! I imagine he and Buddy were friends, since they toured together. Waylon said ( I heard him say it on T.V.) that he and Buddy were talking before they seperated and Buddy jokingly said, " I hope you have wreck on the way to the show", or something like that, and Waylon said, " Well I hope your plane crashes". Must have been hard on Waylon after it did!

[RogerDuke]

BL Davenport, Hoss and Hobie got it right.

It was Big Dan Hogg.

What new vehicle arrived in "The Runaway"?

A) The Mean Green Machine

Cale Yarborough's white Dodge Charger

C) Dixie Jeep

D) Rosco and Enos's three wheelers

E) Miz Tisdale's Yamaha dirt bike

F) a fake General Lee

G) the President's Limo

H) the Duke's new tractor

I) Hughie Hogg's white VW bug

J) none of the above

[K-Duke15]

I know this one, it's C) Dixie Jeep.

[Roth Potter]

J) none of the above

As Dixie was first seen in the episode 'Arrest Jesse Duke' in the order the episodes were aired. Meaning Dixie was introduced in the runaway but was seen for the first time a few episodes before.

Confusing huh?

[LizzyJackson-Davenport]

Considering Roger asked "arrived" and not "first seen" I'm going to have to agree with K-duke15 that it is Dixie Jeep.

[RogerDuke]

Thanks for your explanation Lizzy because you described what I was thinking very well.

Thanks for explaining the episode mix up Roth. I forgot all about it when I wrote the question.

So, to be diplomatic I'm going to say you're all right but K-Duke and Lizzy are righter. LOL

[Roth Potter]

right.

[RogerDuke]

From "Bye Bye Boss" what did the Dukes use to search for Boss when he was being held hostage in an old remote shack?

A) horses

The General Lee converted to 4 wheel drive

C) ultralight gliders

D) dirt bikes (motorcycles)

E) The Mean Green Machine

F) Jesse's truck

[Roth Potter]

Not B, C or E I think so i'm going for A) horses.

[HossC]

They used some sort of gliders to find the Beaudry's remote shack, but I think Roth is correct that it was horses in 'Bye, Bye Boss'.

[Roth Potter]

Yes, I believe so too.

And The General Lee converted to 4 wheel drive was only in the episode 'Arrest Jesse Duke'.

While E) The Mean Green Machine was never driven by any Duke.

And F) Jesse's truck is too obvious for me though very possible.

D) dirt bikes were only used by the Duke Boys in a few episodes but never for searching, only to chase bad guys or practice for a derby in Bo's case.
