Yesterday you saw some great shots of Cooter's Place in Virginia from our friend Patrick Shawn Bennett's trip there last week. Here are the rest of the photos from this host of the Pop Ninja podcast and avid "Dukes of Hazzard" fan ...

Daisy's Dairy Bar? Well, any red-blooded American has gotta love that, especially any red-blooded fan of "The Dukes of Hazzard." Many thanks to our friend Patrick Shawn Bennett of the Pop Ninja podcast for these fresh photos from that glorious place known as Cooter's Place, snapped on his recent trip across the country. This Louisiana boy is a true "Dukes" fan, and we love seeing what's on display right now at Ben Jones' establishment, whether for sale or just for show. From some "Carnival of Thrills" stuff to a cool "No. 2" car (??? really ????), there's a little bit of everything here -- so much stuff that we're going to have to break it into two parts. Part 2 tomorrow!

He was the original Man in Black, often clad in that color during the couple decades before his death in 2003. And there's a reason for that. But he was so much more, really. A life full of a lot of different elements, as Biography.com explains. He was Johnny Cash, legendary performing artist in the country music and gospel realms. He lives on in this Funko Pop, one of two celebrating this endearing artist. You can get up-close and personal with this Pop in the latest episode of Terrific non-TV Toys, and you'll even see a bit of reading material (because you know this author just loves showing reading material in these eps!). (And heck, if you want to read it, too, follow the directions in the vid!)
This classic comics superhero got an update when she appeared on the mid-1990s "Superman: The Animated Series" and "Justice League Unlimited" a few years later. She was young and fresh and just learning this whole superhero thing, clad in her crop top, skirt and combat boots. Hasbro / Kenner and Mattel have both celebrated this version of Supergirl in their toy lines from the various Timmverse series, and this time on Terrific TV Toys we look at two of those figures, one from 1998 and one from 2005 ...
You can find Supergirl on other T3 episodes: In Season 1, we looked at the 1970s Mego figure, in Season 2 we had the 1990s plush from the WB Studio Stores at the mall, and in Season 6, we saw the 12-incher from Hasbro's 1990s line.
In his latest blog post, our friend Brian gives a quite thorough overview of the life of James ("Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane") Best of "The Dukes of Hazzard." Brian hunted down the mysterious location of Best's grave, and you'll see from this blog post that the marker is a lovely tribute to the longtime talented actor whom we also loved in classics such as "The Twilight Zone" and "Green Hornet" ....
