Looking back, I would have liked it to have stayed shooting on location in Conyers/Covington, Georgia.
...
I had no idea it shot there. I knew later on that “In the Heat of the Night” shot there a few years later.
Hi, you are correct. “In the Heat of the Night” did shoot there during it’s 1988 to 1995 run. “The Dukes of Hazzard” shot their first five or six episodes in that area back in late 1978, early 1979 before moving to the Los Angeles County area. I think the Georgia location gave a much more authentic look to the series (like having Hawaii Five-O and Magnum P.I. being done on location in Hawaii).
