Imaginary 'Sesame Street' and 'Dukes Of Hazzard' layouts

Ever try to visualize a full layout of 'Sesame Street' or 'The Dukes Of Hazzard'? I outgrew 'Sesame Street' around the time 'The Dukes Of Hazzard' started, though I think there may have been an overlap of a few weeks or months. 'The Dukes Of Hazzard' was my favorite show when I was grade school age.

Sesame Street always seemed like more of an alley than a street. The characters walked right in the roadway, and there weren't many cars. The main set had Big Bird's nest, Oscar's trash can, the 123 Apartments, and Hooper's Store, but where did that leave Cookie Monster, Grover, and the Count? Where exactly did those guys reside? I often envisioned a trail through a park frequented by Cookie Monster, but saw it as being on a completely separate plane above the main set somehow.

On 'The Dukes Of Hazzard', where were the Duke farm, the Boar's Nest, and the Hazzard Coffin Works in relation to the town? Wasn't there some dirty old swamp too? How big was Hazzard County? In more recent years, I've tended to think of it as being tiny like Robertson County, Ky. It actually was based in part on Pendleton County. I remember how they'd always pull over famous country stars and make them perform at the Boar's Nest. How did Hazzard County have any highways big enough for major country stars to travel on them between concerts?
Might as well face it, pooing is cool

I was kind of hoping this post contained theories about the two of them existing in a shared universe, possibly with a discussion of whether the General Lee could get air off of Oscar's trash can or something.

One of the first 5 episodes (filmed in Covington GA) actually had a freeway interchange in it (was referred to as Rte 421).  No freeway ever appeared after that and in fact  once the show was filmed in California there weren't many paved roads outside the Hazard town square either.

There could have been a 2-lane state or U.S. route connecting Capital City and Atlanta where Roscoe or whoever could divert the tour buses to the dirt road the Boar's Nest was on. The kind of route that was probably 4-laned in 1987-'88 while cutting off the Boar's Nest's direct connection to the busier road.

Oh, didn't you know?  It was later revealed that Big Bird was actually Boss Hogg in disguise.  :rofl:
