Which canyon was that, Andys? I may have a screengrab of their old house. You can see the my Dukes of Hazzard filming locations thread on HazzardNet.com: it's at http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/sho...Hazzard-Square. It started out mainly being centered on the Warner Bros. backlot, but quickly grew to anywhere that appeared on-screen.

The same intersections on the 210 appear very frequently in the early seasons. In the later seasons they made extensive use of Shoreline Drive in Long Beach. Having said that, they were just as likely to be Malibu, Santa Monica, Culver City or the San Fernando Valley. A couple of the locations have given me ideas for future posts.
