    it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

    The first five episodes were the best, filmed on location in Georgia. This gave the show a very authentic feel and look. The duke farmhouse, barns and outbuildings, along with the scenery, Georgia highway signs, houses, buildings and country roads could not be duplicated in California. The town square in Covington can not be duplicated anywhere. The more adult themed scripts, along with the more serious Sheriff character really hit the nail on the head. The show fit in perfectly, movies such as Moonrunners, Smokey And The Bandit, White Lightning and the popularity of Billy Carter starting to decline the show filled a niche. The writing was toned down as the show was popular with children. This was not serious drama, but just clean fun. It was tame by the standard of its time, and certainly does not contain the sex, violence,political correctness and social,problems of today. It is and was a fun escape for those who can now appreciate it together with our grandchildren. I always had the impression that each episode was presented as a modern day re enactment of a legend more from when Jesse was Bo and Luke's age.

    It's simple.. and that's the beauty of it. But it got a lot to embody this simplicity and make it beautiful.10 - The one of a kind "Dixie" horn, the too many wirelesses, and the Mona Lisa in the county's bar. Wow, small touches can be effective and classic.9 – "Just two good ole boys, never meaning no harm. Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law. Since the day they was born." great theme song. Well.. Although as a whole it meant no harm. But it says something about challenging the law, beating the system "like two modern day Robin Hoods".. That's fun "Yee-haw".8 - (Deputy Enos Strate) and (Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane) what a historical dumb they were, however one was good, and the other, well.. was less ! (Sonny Shroyer) and (James Best) I'm just asking.. who are they ?? 7 - Two outlaws named (Luke Duke) & (Bo Duke), if you know where they are don't inform anybody, and try to get a ride with them in their incredible car ! I don't know guys named (Tom Wopat) and (John Schneider) if you ask me, I mean maybe I heard the names before..6 - (Uncle Jesse Duke) the top of judiciousness, and (Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg) the top of foolishness. One good adventurous uncle, and one of the kindest, goofiest, most cartoonish evil men in the history of TV. By the way do you know folks named (Denver Pyle), (Sorrell Booke) ?? I heard they're genius ? for what exactly ? 5 - The voice, the tune, the lines, and the whole character of the ever unseen narrator. That was original. Consolidated the personality of the show as modern folk stories by pristine balladeer, and became some marked way to cut nicely to the commercials; what a coup de maitre that was.4 - The Hazzard County : (read : The Hazard County) this is the dreamland where the weather is always fine, the people are all childish, the baddies must go to jail, the cars can fly cleverly in unprecedented ways, and no body ever dies ! 3 - The General Lee. Hands down, the best jumping car ever, sorry Knight Rider but that's the way it's, and if anyone ever complained just remember : the stunt crew here at one of the jumps hit the international record and made a new one of its own.. And that was even done unintentionally ! The only thing that I didn't understand is why its doors were always closed ? 2 - The highly delicious : Daisy Duke ! Ahh.. Daisy indeed ! What a sight, what a smile, what a litheness, what a sweetness. She's merry heaven at every visit I make to the Hazzard County. I bet the people of 1979 were amazed like they never were (the next stop : Baywatch 1989!). She was exactly like the show itself "All-right Sugar". And I just quoted her from one situation. P.S : Did you hear about a girl by the name of (Catherine Bach) ? They're telling me she's super ! 1 - The way all of that harmonizes. It works like a shinny morning, a savory ice cream, or unbroken game of hide and seek. I've never seen such a perfectly saccharine juvenile world like that before or after. It's the most childish TV classic you can ever remember. It speaks fluently to the child in you, and in the presence of Daisy Duke as well as some of the 1980s' fine chicks then it speaks fluently to the adolescent in you also ! Actually the fact that its cast nearly didn't do much away from it, gives you funny feeling as if it was completely an actual fairytale where no actors involve, like a comic-book came to real life ! Yes, sometimes the jumps give you the boredom, sometimes you get sick of the too much sugar, sometimes Daisy is wearing a full pair of jeans ! But this is normal, maybe you've watched more than enough, maybe you don't like sugar (or that sugar), or maybe my dear.. You're becoming a grown-up !!Finally.. A bothering question but a must-ask : name one show in our jinxed nowadays that can compete with (The Dukes of Hazzard)'s amount of funny lines, light atmosphere, unstoppable action, jumping cars, and Daisy Duke's shorts ?! Hmmm.. Yeah, that's a question I can answer.. It's : (The Dukes of Hazzard)'s reruns !

    Hey, i must say i have never seen such a great t.v.series as the dukes. I must agree they are very sexy guys, those duke cousins. It's a shame that they aren't as young as they were then. I would go crazy over Bo duke (john Schneider). But then Luke duke (tom) isn't that bad looking either. :) I hope i find someone weather it's now or later thats like Bo. It would be so nice to meet them in person, and give them a big hug. I give dukes of hazzard 300% the best thats ever been. I also just realized that it's sad when i read about Jessie and boss hog's death. But then i guess no one lives forever and i'm sorry to hear about the bad news to everyone. The fans and the crew that worked with them.But anyways i'm just happy i got to say what i really wanted to say about the dukes and hopefully, wishing that those man out there do check these out once in a while to read it. Take care. From Chantal Lauzon Winnipeg, MB Canada

    It is easy to dismiss a show like the Dukes of Hazzard as merely childish, inane nonsense with its slapstick comedy and simplistic buffoonery, but for me growing up as a kid in the 80's, it was just good, clean fun. "The Dukes" reminds us of a time not long ago when escapist fantasy still existed on TV and we weren't overrun with excessive vulgarity, reality shows or cutting edge dramas that dredge up instances of human misery. It had all the elements of enjoyment: a good guys vs. bad guys conflict, car chases, a pretty girl and two rough and tumble guys just having a good time. And thru all the foolishness, and without ever beating the viewer over the head with it, the virtues of southern manners, courtesy and honesty are emphasized. It's too bad the acting in a show like this is never given serious consideration, but Sorrell Booke and James Best, two wonderful character actors with years of great performances to their credit, were outstanding in this show. The Dukes of Hazzard remains a favorite of mine to this day!
