Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - Chase's Review
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 ... Read More
Rating: - My Favorite Season
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 Rosco(Jim Best), Boss Hogg(Sorrell ...

Rating:  - Great show, but bad DVDs
I was excited when I received Season 1 of The Dukes of Hazzard, but was upset when the set was defective. I got a replacement set and that too was defective. I eventually went elsewhere to get the set, but again, the set was defective. I started to get a little irritated. Finally I went to another store and yet again, a defective set. 4 defective sets in total. Has anyone had any trouble with their season 1 sets or am I just having bad luck? If I would've had this problem, I would have given 5 stars, but since I had ... Read More
