You missed the episode with Barbara Eden?

And what a great episode that was.

The Dillard's were the musicians playing the Darlings.

You missed the episode with Barbara Eden?

I suppose I did! Or just didn't remember, if she was only on one episode. I meant more any regular cast.

If you’re talking the dukes, the pilot shot in Georgia, the rest in California. In a couple scenes you can see a busy freeway off in the background.

Hmm... not according to the first few hits on Google! Maybe they moved it to CA later, but it seems at least the first several episodes were in Georgia, and then later Louisiana. Here's the first one that came up, when I searched using "where was dukes of hazard filmed".

The first five episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard were filmed in Covington and Conyers, Georgia and surrounding areas, including some location work in nearby Atlanta [1][2]. The famous shot of the airborne General Lee, the Duke cousins' muscle car, was filmed at nearby Oxford College [2]. Later episodes were filmed in Louisiana, USA, with some scenes also filmed in Atlanta Streets [3].

Only cute girl I ever remember from Andy Griffith was Elanor Donahue, but she was no Daisy Duke.

Aneta Corsaut was cute as was Sue Ane Langdon, but my favorite was Joanna Moore. She later married Ryan O'Neal in real life.

The dukes pilot was first 5 or 6 shows. Notice how the Covington GA courthouse is totally different than the one used later.
I have meet several of the cast, Boss Hog, cooter, Daisy, Ennis, coy, Vance, Sheriff Little, and Rosco. And Cletus, can’t forget him.

My son loves the show and has them about memorized.

Aneta Corsaut was cute...

Not unattractive, but I never quite understood why they replaced Elanor Donahue (Ellie) with her character (Helen Crump). Something about Ellie being too young for Andy, is what I had read, and Mrs. Crump being a more appropriate match. I always preferred Ellie.

I read Elanor had issues with anxiety and couldn't handle the Hollywood pressures. Supposedly that's why she never did much after either.

If you page down in this link, it indicates that she did a lot in film and TV. She even wrote a cookbook.

Wow, she really rode the fame train of that short stint as far as she could. The original Danny Bonaduce?

I was told that the producers of the show chose to replace her, not that she had any part in the decision.

It was in color, but I watched some of Get Smart last night.
