Catherine Bach will be at Cooter’s Place in Nashville TN this Saturday, Sept 4th. It’s all part of the “Rally for the Valley” event this Labor Day weekend. As you might recall, the Music Valley area of Nashville was hit hard by flooding a few months back, and things have been kinda bluesy in Music City. This shindig is gonna change the tune with a lineup of great music and fun in the valley.
Cathy will be signing autographs and lookin’ pretty at Cooters all day on Saturday. If you’ve never had the chance to see Cathy before, lemme tell ya, she’s worth the road trip. She truly is “Daisy” in the sweet personality and charm she brings to every event.
The City of Nashville was an excellent host to DukesFest in prior years, and many of the Music Valley merchants would love to see us again. So would Cathy! So pack the cooler, grab the map, fill the tank, and head to Nashville this weekend. Before you go, visit Cootersplace.com for all the details. Have a safe and fun holiday weekend!
Yeeehaaa!! We here at HNet couldn’t be happier than a hogg in slop…or Boss in money, it’s about the same. Khee! We’ve just learned that CMT is bringing back the Dukes of Hazzard starting September 10th, at 8/7 Central!
Y’all realize the 10th is a Friday, right? 8 pm on a Friday night. Man, we gotta double check the calendar. You sure it’s not 1979?
Check out CMT’s website for more information on the show and times episodes will air.
We just revamped our classified ads section for those of you who are selling or looking to buy Dukes of Hazzard memorabilia. Posting a basic ad is free. For those of you who may have previously posted ads, you will have to repost them. Sorry for that inconvenience. There is also an “other” category for the convenience of our members who have non-Dukes related items they would like to buy or sell. As always, ads must be approved by moderators before they are posted and moderators reserve the right to reject ads that don’t fit with the family friendly atmosphere we try to foster here.
Many of us who love the Dukes of Hazzard were children of the 80′s and enjoy many different shows from that era. One that’s had a bit of a revival on the silver screen is the Transformers. I just happened to run across this video on YouTube featuring my two favorite cars of the era, Jazz from the Transformers and the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard. It seems that Jazz has a General problem… (And here’s a behind the scenes look at how the video was made.) And no, there isn’t an actual General Lee transformer. That was a custom model for the animation. We checked.
Special thanks to HossC for creating these and offering them for everyone’s enjoyment. If you’ve been following our forums, you’ve seen these posted. The versions posted in our Fun Stuff section are in a nice PDF format, so you can print them out and challenge yourself. Have fun!
It’s August already! This summer’s flying faster than the General Lee rushing down Mill Post Road trying to get the mortgage money to Boss so the boys can save the Duke farm.
Sure enough, Boss ran some scam again to make the payment late but that doesn’t mean all Hoggs are bad. In fact, August’s fan of the month is one of the nicest folks on the HazzardNet and that’s why Jami Lee Hogg has been selected for this month’s honor.
Jami’s only been in our website family for a year and a half but that’s more than enough time to make a big impact and make a lot of friends too. She’s a loyal HazzardNet family member who logs in every day and contributes to several threads.
Jami selected her screen name because she loves the character Jamie Lee Hogg from the episode “Mrs. Daisy Hogg.” Luckily for her, Jamie can be a name for a girl or a boy so she simply dropped the “e” to make it more clear.
Jami’s family thinks she’s obsessed with the Dukes of Hazzard. We can relate. Jami loves the show for many of the same reasons a lot of us do. She loves the values taught by Uncle Jesse and the comedy of Boss and Rosco. And she loves the fact that the show makes you forget your troubles….just like the HazzardNet does.
Jami’s favorite character is Luke. Her favorite episodes are “Goodbye General Lee”, “Dear Diary” and (you guessed it) any episode that features Luke. She has met John Schneider and Tom Wopat and considers the picture she has of her and Tom together, one of her most valuable possessions.
She owns all 7 seasons of the show and has a wide variety of Dukes toys, memorabilia and autographs from the cast members.
She has three dogs. One is named Sorrell for Boss Hogg. She has three ferrets. One is named Daisy. She also has a pet fish. I wonder if it’s one that Luke caught in the Hazzard Pond and released in Jami’s fish tank.
Her favorite country singers are Garth, Reba, Rascal Flatts and Confederate Railroad. She loves taking pictures and specializes in black and white photography. She’s loves NASCAR and is a big Dale Jr. fan and has been a fan of his for his entire career.
Jami is a small town girl who’s top three priorities in life are family, God and friends. She sure has a lot of friends with her HazzardNet family and we appreciate all her contributions to the best website on the internet.
We have revamped our memorabilia section and added all the latest and greatest Dukes memorabilia we can find that’s currently for sale. We have photos, diecast cars and models, books, dvds, music, t-shirts, and more! We’ve even included some non-Dukes stuff that might be of interest to Dukes fans, such as cast memorabilia from the rest of their careers, artwork, NASCAR collectibles, and much more. We hope you find some great Dukes merchandise to add to your collection!
In case y’all didn’t notice, we added a brand spankin’ new NASCAR forum in our forums section. We know we have a lot of members who are big NASCAR fans, so we figured we might as well have a NASCAR forum to consolidate all the NASCAR threads scattered about the rest of the site. Garrett Duke is doing a fine job of keeping everyone updated on the standings and NASCAR news every week. We’d like to thank Garrett for the awesome contribution to our little HazzardNet community.
July is here and it sure is hot. Speaking of hot, nobody heats up a computer’s keyboard like Lizzy Jackson-Davenport and that’s one of many reasons she’s been selected as HazzardNet’s fan of the month for July 2010.
Lizzy’s computer must be smoking hot from overwork considering it’s sent out over 13,500 posts. But, being fan of the month is more than just about how much you can type…..it’s about the type of fan you are….and Lizzy is an exceptional one.
Lizzy doesn’t focus on simply one place to contribute to the greatest website on the internet. Her posts can be found just about everywhere. Some of her favorites include Honest Wildman Jack’s Slightly Used Cars, God is Great Beer is Good People Are Crazy, Dupe or Duke, the Trivia Thread and the Official Photo Caption Thread.
Like many of us, she considers folks here on the HazzardNet to be her second family. Family is a pretty big deal to Lizzy. Her’s is her number one priority. The family ties that are so strong on the Dukes of Hazzard is one of the reasons she loves the show so much. Combine those ties with the fact that the Dukes has something for everybody and Lizzy will tell you, she’s hooked for life.
Lizzy’s favorite character is Bo but Cooter is so close behind it’s almost a tie (Hmmm, sounds like a back road Hazzard County race). Her favorite episodes are The Rustlers and Cooter’s Girl.
Her favorite country singers are Reba, Garth, Josh Turner and George Strate. She’s also an Elvis fan. Her favorite movies are the 3 Mighty Ducks movies and Top Gun, where they feel the need for speed just like they do in Hazzard County.
She loves the Atlanta Braves, high school football and all animals, especially her 8 year old beagle named Shiloh. (Everybody say awwww, “Awwwwww”) Her favorite books are The Outsider and the Harry Potter series.
Lizzy also loves to read and write fanfics. Her character Lizzy Jackson-Davenport has been pretty busy around here for nearly 2 and a half years and, if we’re lucky, she’s just getting started. Hopefully she won’t burn her computer up ’cause this place wouldn’t be the same without her.
Thanks for all your contributions Lizzy and happy birthday later this month on July 24.
Hey y’all, just a quick note to let you know that we have updated our fanfiction page with a fic. Yeah, really! Boss Hogg, Rosco and the Dukes take a little trip through time and….well, y’all better not go to the refrigerator now. Check out “One History to Confuse” in our fanfiction section!
June is here and that means things are heating up.
Last summer things really warmed up around here when texasdaisy09 joined us on the HazzardNet and now she’s as hot as a Hazzard campfire as this summer’s first Fan of the Month.
We see folks come and go here on the greatest website on the internet but texasdaisy09 is most definitely here for the long haul. She’s been around less than a year but has already established herself as one of the rocks that make up the foundation of the HazzardNet.
She logs in faithfully every day and can be found on a variety of threads blessing us with nearly 500 posts in less than a year. She loves everything about the HazzardNet, especially the friends she has made here. Many things about our website reflect Hazzard County but if you could only use one word to describe it, many folks would use the word “friendly”. If you looked up the word friendly in a Hazzard County dictionary, there’s a good chance you would see texasdaisy’s picture beside the definition. Speaking of friendly, our friendliness here is one of the reasons she got hooked on the HazzardNet in the first place.
Texasdaisy has been a fan of the show since the summer of 1996. Her two favorite episodes are “Daisy’s Song” and “Ghost of the General Lee.” Her favorite character is Daisy, followed by Bo, Luke, Jesse and the rest of the cast. She loves the show for many of the same reasons we all do, tops amongst those reasons is it’s strong family values in a world of television where that is quickly fading.
Her top three priorities in life are God, her family and then her HazzardNet family. With priorities like that in life, she certainly has her house in order. In fact she loves those things so much she says that she “couldn’t make it through life without all three.”
Her hobbies include reading her Bible, watching Dukes, the HazzardNet, historical Christian romances, her garden, NASCAR, horses, country music, the television shows CSI:NY and Reba.
She has two dogs named Daisy and Jesse and is going to be getting a third. You guessed it…she’s going to name it Bo or Luke.
Her three kids have become fans of the show. Hopefully they’ll become HazzardNet members someday. Could there be three more Fans of the Month in her families future? Let’s hope so. Those lucky kids are being brought up right. Texasdaisy09 is what the Hazzard County is all about. There’s nothing more important than passing on those values to younger generations. This world sure needs folks like texasdaisy09. We’re thankful she’s blessed us by being a faithful daily contributor here. She represents what the Dukes of Hazzard and the HazzardNet is all about. Congratulations!!
The Associated Press has reported that Peter Lopez, husband of Catherine Bach, died today as a result of an apparent suicide. Mr. Lopez leaves behind Cathy and their two daughters.
Mr. Lopez was a long-time Hollywood attorney, who according to the Dukes of Hazzard Unofficial Companion Book, worked with Cathy to help bring about the first Dukes TV reunion movie. He was well regarded in the entertainment industry and worked with many A-list clients.
We extend our deep sympathies to Cathy and her family during this difficult time. Cathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
April 1st is Sadie Hogg Day in Hazzard County so things are always a little confusing around Hazzard on the first day of this month. One thing we’re not confused about is how much we like DaneyDuke and that’s why she has been selected as HazzardNet’s Fan of the Month for April 2010.
Daney is one of the few folks still active on the HazzardNet who have been around since it’s early years. She’s certainly seen a lot since those good old days and she’s hung around for many reasons, including the feeling that the folks here are like a second family to her. Combine that with the fact that the Dukes of Hazzard is the greatest show in history and that’s all Daney needs to be dedicated for nearly a decade to the best website on the internet.
When you log onto the HazzardNet you can see that she’s all over the place on this great site. Like a Rosco P. Coltrane speedtrap, you never know where she’ll pop up next. You can find her on fanfics, round robins and role plays. She’s always updating folks on current events, talking in the chat room, or contributing to many various threads all over the HazzardNet forums.
She has been a Dukes fan since the show was originally on CBS on Friday nights and loves every one of the characters (even Boss). She has met several of the stars and has attended the grandaddy of all Dukes events, the DukesFest.
She loves the Dukes of Hazzard because it’s family-centered, fun-filled and teaches the importance of good old-fashioned values. She is a member of the thousand point club with over 1,300 and is just getting started.
She counts such episodes as “Daisy’s Song”, “Witness-Jesse Duke” and “Ten Million Dollar Sheriff” as some of her favorites. When she’s not busy watching a Dukes episode or posting on HazzardNet, Daney spends her time reading, listening to music, taking pictures and swimming.
The cold temperatures will soon be a thing of the past and spring is in the air. That always makes folks around Hazzard feel young and new. It’s nice to have a few new members around here to make things exciting and fresh like spring. We always love new folks here.
Daney certainly ISN’T one of those fresh faces in town. She’s been around a long time and her input has been valuable in helping the moderators mold the HazzardNet into what it is today.
For all her contributions through the years, the new and old folks of HazzardNet are very grateful. You’re awesome Daney! Thanks for all you do.
It’s with mixed emotions that we announce that HazzardNet.comhas been sold to new ownership. After receiving a compelling offer from a media firm who wishes to license the HazzardNet name for uses unrelated to the Dukes of Hazzard, we carefully considered their offer before accepting. It was not an easy decision, after working together over 10 years and watching fellow Dukes fans become very good friends of ours.
One of the factors we had to admit, was that overhead costs for website operation continue to increase (MaryAnne’s cord tripping gets pricey after awhile), while the size of the fan base is on the decline.
So when somebody waved a pickle jar full of cash under our nose, it got our attention. We did the only practical thing.
We sold out.
MaryAnne is moving on to become an administrator for a public relations firm. Brian has accepted a new position at MAD Magazine.
MeadowMufn is undecided on her new venture, probably because we haven’t told her we sold the place yet. But when she sees the size of this check, she’ll be fine.
And if you haven’t figured it out already…April Fools! We couldn’t ever sell this place. (Nobody wants it.) Seriously, though, we couldn’t. The Dukes of Hazzard will never be forgotten, and HazzardNet will stick around to be sure of it. YEEHAAAA!
Like the bluebird of Spring, Ben “Cooter” Jones is heading north. He’ll be at the Cavalcade of Wheels Car Show in South Bend, Indiana, on March 20th and 21st. A General Lee will be there with him, so it’s a great opportunity to snap some photos and pick up an autograph. Admission fees and autograph fees apply; see the official shindig link for more details: http://www.cavalcadeofwheels.com/show.htm
If you can’t get to Indiana, then how about Virginia? Ben will be at the Wild WheelsCruisin’ Weekend in Virginia Beach, VA, April 16th through 18th. For details visit: http://www.oceancitycarshows.com/wild-wheels.php
Get in Tune with Tom Wopat
Or at least listen to his performance at the The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD, on March 28. Tom’s smooth, jazzy style is a crowd-pleaser no matter what your musical tastes. For ticket info call #301-581-5100,
Say Hello to John “Bo” Schneider
John Schneider, Hazzard County’s longtime hero, also of Smallville fame, will be at the Phoenix Comic Con, May 27th through the 30th. What more do ya need to know? Details are covered at : http://www.phoenixcomicon.com/
March 1st is Catherine Bach’s birthday. That’s a big deal around the HazzardNet. While it might be Daisy Duke’s day, it’s pendragon1980′s month because she has been selected as HazzardNet’s “Fan of the Month”.
Pendragon has been a fan of the Dukes of Hazzard since childhood and her love of the best show on television comes through with her writings here at the best website on the internet.
A veteran of many years of fanfic writing on this (and less important) sites, pendragon’s character Doc Walker (AKA Dr. Chance Walker) is legendary on the HazzardNet. Pendragon loves the challenge of trying to fit the good doctor into stories where such talented writers are creatively bringing fiction to life. And she’s very good at it. Don’t take our word for it. Check some of her work out for yourself if you haven’t already.
Pendragon has been a member of the HazzardNet since 2003. She has made dozens of friends here and considers those friendships the most valuable blessing of her HazzardNet experience.
Her favorite character is Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane….”Khee khee…I Love it, I love it” and she delights in watching Rosco and Boss interact….don’t we all!
Her favorite episode is “Jude Emery” and she wishes he would have been on more than just one ep. Hmmm, poor old Enos would have had some serious competition for Daisy if Jude would have hung around Hazzard much longer.
She has been to two Dukesfests and met several of the stars including James Best, John Schneider and Rick Hurst.
Being from Pittsburgh, she is of course a Steelers football fan. She is also an avid reader of anything and everything, especially the HazzardNet. She loves the Dukes because it’s good old-fashioned, clever, funny, family entertainment.
Finally, her two biggest priorities are family and helping others. Us folks here on the HazzardNet are honored to be part of her second family.
Thanks for all your contributions pendragon1980! Congratulations!
James Best’s and John Schneider’s homes will be featured on CMT: Cribs, airing tomorrow night at 10pm EST. It will air again at 1:30am and then at 2:00pm on Saturday. Additional showings will air in March. Check your local listings or CMT’s website for the latest schedule.
Some folks reported page loading issues with HazzardNet over the past few days. At first, we suspected that MaryAnne had spilled a hot chocolate on our server. Turns out though, that it was a technical thang at the host, and they’ve kicked the responsible parties in the butt. Thanks to all who brought the matter to our attention. We consider the matter resolved, but if you notice any problems in the future, we’ll blame MaryAnne first as usual, and then check into it.
It’s not possible to be a bigger fan of the Dukes of Hazzard than BoJamesDuke and that’s why she is being picked as February’s fan of the month.
A few of us could put up a legitimate argument that we are “as big of a Dukes fan” as Bo but none of us could say we’re a bigger fan. Considering how much Bo loves the Dukes, it’s simply not possible.
Bo just turned 21 on January 28th and resides across the Hazzard Pond over there in England. She has blessed the HazzardNet with over 6,300 posts since she first logged on nearly four years ago.
Bo has been a Dukes fan for 16 years, since she was 5 years old. When she was 17 she passed an English exam by doing a project based on a mix of Dukes episodes and Role Plays. That alone should show you how much she loves our favorite show.
Of course there’s more. Bo has met nearly every surviving major character from the Dukes and even some who weren’t so major, and she’s met some of them multiple times. That list includes Bo, Luke, Daisy, Rosco, Enos, Cletus, Cooter, Coy and Big Ed Little. Bo’s favorite character is (you guessed it) Bo. That being said, Bo is almost as big of a fan of Luke, but the twinkle in her eye is slightly bigger when Bo is mentioned.
Bo made the trip across the big Hazzard Pond a couple years ago to attend the Dukes Fest with her close friend, and HazzardNet member, DaisyMaeDuke. She supplied the trivia questions for the wildly successful trivia contest that was held there. She also appeared in the front row of the Graham Norton show when he had the Dukes stars on. Since the hour long BBC show was broadcast around world, Bo received four times more than her proverbial “15 minutes of fame.”
Bo’s wisdom and posts can be seen throughout the HazzardNet but fanfics, role plays and round robins are her specialty and she considers the “Going Home Series” amongst her favorites.
Bo’s top priorities in life are family, finishing her education (then finding a job) and the Dukes of Hazzard. She loves the show for the lessons and good advice that have helped guide her through life. She is very thankful to the HazzardNet and those who run it for bringing her close to so many folks who share her passion for the greatest show to ever appear on a TV screen.
We’re thankful to you too Bo. You are a true Dukes fan and a loyal member of the best website the internet has to offer.
Congratulations BoJamesDuke from all of us at HNet!
