DVD Reviews of The Dukes of Hazzard - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Don't hate me I am an overworked medical secretary and this is the only thing that makes me laugh right now
Summary: 4 Stars
My brother and I used to watch this and Charlie's Angels as a kid,and it brings back alot of good memories.I had the biggest crush on Luke Duke.
My favorite episode is Luke's Love Story.Luke shows his strong complicated side.
As an adult, I still love to watch it to escape.Yes the plots are predictable, but it was about these anti heroes with a sweet car,who stuck it to the bad guys.
If you are a man, and don't get turned on by Daisy in her bikini,something is wrong for you.
I love the first and second Season.The scenery is so pretty.Sheriff roscoe is more of a corrupt cop that was stiffed out of his pension.I preferred him that way.Cooter is more of a wide eyed devil than in later episodes.(he stoled the president's car) I hated when they had the Coy and Vance replacements stand in,that ruined the show.
I never thought I heard them say anything racist, although attitudes towards women kind of bother me a little.
DVD Review: I like this serie...
Summary: 4 Stars
the serie it's very funny and i was watched this in mexico and then i liked...DVD Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite TV show as a child. When I saw this for sale, I had to snap it up right away. When I first put in the disc, it had been about 20 years since I had seen an episode. When I saw the General Lee tearing down a dirt road, it was like seeing an old friend. While fashion sure has changed since then, the sense of fun and adventure is still there. I nearly jumped out of my chair when I saw the General Lee jump a creek and yelled out a loud "yeehaw"! If you have any fond memories of watching this show when you were younger, I'd definitely recommend picking it up. I'll be watching this with my son and passing on the love of this series to the next generation.DVD Review: Chase's Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this series because it has my favorite car the 1969 Dodge Charger and because they race a lot in it and it has some action like blowing out houses up. Here is a little summery about it Bo and Luke Duke, two cousins living in an unincorporated area of the fictional Hazzard County, Gerogia, racing around in their modified 1969 Dodge Charger, the Genral Lee evading corrupt Boss Hogg and his inept county sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane Bo and Luke had been sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine- Uncle Jesse usually made the run, but had fallen ill, and on the very occasion that Bo and Luke had taken his place, they were caught. Jesse made a plea bargain to stop brewing moonshine in return for the boys to forgo jail time and instead be placed on probation.
If I give this series a rateing I would give it a 10. If you like this series you will like The Waltons.
DVD Review: My Favorite Season
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my favorite season of The Dukes Of Hazzard throughout the Dukes whole 7-year run on CBS as well as the season that made this show a big hit back in 1979 when the General Lee was practically brand spankin new and when Enos Strate(Sonny Shroyer) was Sheriff Rosco's fellow deputy for the first time before Enos even got replaced by Boss Hogg's cousin Deputy Cletus Hogg(Rick Hurst) along with the fact that this season shows you how the ongoing dilemma that the Dukes had with the corrupt Hazzard County Sheriff Rosco Coltrane(Jim Best), the corrupt county commisioner Boss Hogg(Sorrell Booke), and Enos got started on top of that.
The 1st Season of The Dukes was also funnier than the rest of the seasons of this show and reminds me back to the days when THE DUKES OF HAZZARD was on CBS every Friday night at 9PM right after THE INCREDIBLE HULK at 8PM, plus THE DUKES OF HAZZARD was followed by DALLAS at 10PM in addition to CBS's Friday night line-up back then, which gave me at least 2 more things to look forward to every Friday night.
In addition, this takes me all the way back to memory lane when THE DUKES OF HAZZARD first came out on CBS for the first time back in January of 1979 and was shown around the same time slot as THE ROCKFORD FILES when Rockford was part of NBC's Friday night line-up, which gave THE ROCKFORD FILES a little bit of competition against THE DUKES OF HAZZARD, since Rockford started getting a slight slump in the ratings when the Dukes came along, since a lot of people found THE DUKES OF HAZZARD preferable to THE ROCKFORD FILES.
Because for one thing, THE DUKES OF HAZZARD was a lot funnier than THE ROCKFORD FILES was, since THE DUKES OF HAZZARD was like a comedy drama show, but THE ROCKFORD FILES was a private detective drama show that was a lot more serious with a lot less humor even though it was usually kind of funny whenever Rockford got busted and/or in trouble, especially by his ex-con buddy Angel Martin(Stuart Margolin).
For another, THE DUKES OF HAZZARD had a lot more car chases than THE ROCKFORD FILES had, plus the car chases on the Dukes were more interesting and more impressive than they were on Rockford on top of that.
For another, the General Lee had outclassed Rockford's flashy gold Firebird.
For another, Bo and Luke Duke(John Schneider, Tom Wopat) were eyecandy that were also a lot younger, spunkier, and more attractive than by humored private investigator Jim Rockford(James Garner) was, despite the fact that THE ROCKFORD FILES had enough sufficient ratings for a full Sixth Season on NBC for the following year, even though THE DUKES OF HAZZARD practically K.O.'d THE ROCKFORD FILES, which reminds me that I started watching Rockford less and less when the Dukes came out, since the time slot for THE DUKES OF HAZZARD on CBS kind of interferred with the time slot for THE ROCKFORD FILES on NBC, not that I didn't like Rockford anymore, despite the fact that THE DUKES OF HAZZARD nearly killed THE ROCKFORD FILES during Rockford's last 2 seasons.
Unfortunately THE ROCKFORD FILES started losing a lot of viewers from THE DUKES OF THE HAZZARD when the Dukes made their debut on CBS in January of 1979 which initially led to Rockford getting a slight decrease in the Nielsen ratings and to THE ROCKFORD FILES cancellation on NBC in January of 1980, which was a year after THE DUKES OF HAZZARD made its debut on CBS, but THE ROCKFORD FILES was cancelled due to James Garner having health problems.
Therefore you could say that Bo and Luke Duke were peaking while Rockford(James Garner) was creaking since John Schneider(Bo) & Tom Wopat(Luke) were both very young with lots of energy left in them while James Garner was reaching a saturation point with his Rockford role heading over the hill losing his spunk since age caught up with Garner when THE DUKES OF HAZZARD came out in the Spring of 1979.
Therefore you could say that Garner was running out of gas and that THE ROCKFORD FILES was unfortunately running out of steam when THE DUKES OF HAZZARD came along since the Dukes were soaring big time in the ratings with lots of steam left ahead on THE DUKES OF HAZZARD since the Dukes were just starting its honeymoon phase of the show while Rockford's honeymoon phase was already long gone.
What's makes that kind of funny is it just so happens that Sorrell Booke(Boss Hogg) had a guest starring role on THE ROCKFORD FILES in "The Jersey Bounce" episode playing Rockford's attorney.
It was also intriguing seeing
-Joann Pflug in the "Route 711" episode before her days as Colt Seavers agent(Big Jack) on THE FALL GUY
-Colby Chester in the "Mary-Kaye's Baby" episode before his co-starring days on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and TRAPPER JOHN M.D.
-Dennis Haskins in the "One Armed Bandits" episode before his co-starring days as Mr. Belding on SAVED BY THE BELL
-Jeannie Wilson in the "Mary Kaye's Baby" episode before her co-starring days as Janet Fowler on SIMON & SIMON
-Mary Jo Catlett in the "Swamp Molly" episode before her co-starring days as Pearl the maid on DIFFERENT STROKES
-Charles Cyphers in the "Limo One Is Missing" during his earlier acting days in John Carpenter flicks like HALLOWEEN and THE FOG
-David Hayward in the "Luke's Love Story" episode before his co-starring days on ALL MY CHILDREN
-Del Monroe in the "Limo One Is Missing" episode after his co-starring days on VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
-Paul Brinegar in the Route 711" episode before his co-starring days on MATT HOUSTON
This season also takes me all the way back to memory lane when CBS's motto was "Turn Us On", since that was the motto on CBS from the Fall of 1978 thru the Summer of 1979.
So I highly recommend The Dukes Of Hazzard-Season 1 DVD to anybody who was a Dukes fan.

The Dukes of Hazzard was part of America's redneck fetish in the mid-to-late 1970s, otherwise evident in popular songs, movies, and television shows highlighting fast cars, truckers, citizens' band radio, moonshine, irreverent hicks, and clueless lawmen. Created by writer-producer Gy Waldron and inspired by his own 1975 bootlegging comedy, Moonrunners, Dukes milked seven seasons of material from the tale of a Deep South family of reformed whiskey-makers and their running feud with a greedy impresario and his chief lackey, a buffoonish, venal sheriff.
This three-disc set includes all 13 initial episodes of Dukes from 1979, a period fans fondly recall because some of the programs were shot on location in Covington, Georgia, rather than a Burbank backlot. Also noteworthy is that a couple of key characters, particularly Hazzard County's corrupt lawman, Roscoe P. Coltrane (James Best), hadn't gelled yet into permanent hayseed stereotypes and were arguably more interesting at the beginning. At the center of the action is Sheriff Coltrane's nemeses, cousins Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke (Tom Wopat), a couple of wild boys buzzing through the backwoods in the "General Lee," a souped-up Dodge Charger. Bo and Luke are good at heart but have to behave themselves while on indefinite probation, complicating but not halting their efforts to vex Roscoe and his patron, diminutive bigwig Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke). The enmity runs both ways: Roscoe and Boss Hogg, with the aid of witless Deputy Enos Strate (Sonny Shroyer), dream up ways of eliminating the Dukes--including their wise old Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle)--but their efforts always backfire.
While every episode is a variation on the previous one, predictability is a virtue in Dukes. The series pilot, "One Armed Bandits," finds Luke and Bo, with help from their sexy cousin, Daisy (Catherine Bach), diverting slot machines (smuggled into Hazzard County by Roscoe and Boss Hogg) to sundry watering holes where they can raise money for Bo's girlfriend's charity. In "Money to Burn," Boss Hogg tries to frame Bo and Luke for robbing an armored truck, while in "Deputy Dukes," the unarmed guys are forced by Roscoe to escort a deadly prisoner from one town to another. The Dukes hit back in "Daisy's Song," investigating a scam that took Daisy for $50 and implicates, of course, Boss Hogg and Roscoe.
Yes, it's a show about rubes, car stunts, and a legacy of moonshine, but there's something comforting about it, in a tongue-in-cheek way. --Tom Keogh
