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

Customer Reviews of The Dukes of Hazzard - The Complete First Season
Always a Great Show First off I want to say what a great show this was, it really brings back lots of memories watching these old episodes. <
> <
>Secondly, I find myself laughing my backside off reading posts that seem to indicate that I'm a racist because I like this show. For those that think the Confederate flag represents slavery, I suggest you go back and LEARN some history and discover the real reasons the civil war was fought. Yes, slavery was one item, but primarily it was fought over state's rights. And Reviewer MIKE from NY, do some research before you make statements, you will look much smarter if you do. The KKK was not created by General Lee, he was actually a proponent of ending slavery. <
> <
>The Ku Klux Klan was formed by a group of Confederate Army veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee around 1865. A Confederate General, Nathan Bedford Forrest, was the Klan's first leader, whose title was the Grand Wizard. The group adopted the name Ku Klux Klan from the Greek word kuklos, meaning circle, and the English word clan. <

Like a Long-Awaited Reunion with Old Friends
Bo (or should it be Beau since his real name is Beauregard?), Luke, Daisy, and Uncle Jesse were the family I liked to think of as my own. Who wouldn't want cousins who could teach you to change the oil in your car, do spins and go "jukin'", all without breaking a sweat? :-) I also liked first season Rosco the best..he was a straight-arrow sheriff for 20 years who became bitter over losing his pension, and resorted to recouping what was rightfully his in any way he could. Boss was also much more believable as a corrupt official- the Boss Tweed of the Deep South, and much more formidable an opponent than he became later on- sly, cunning, and almost totally lacking in moral fiber. For that matter, Bo and Luke were much more believable as two guys on probation, who if not for the wise, guiding hand of their Uncle Jesse could have turned their talents in quite a different direction altogether. The episodes had plot and direction, and Boss and Rosco were NOT easy to outfox.

>I have not yet decided whether I will purchase the other seasons (I know I definitely won't buy the 'replacement Dukes' season) but I bought the first season and liked it as much now as I did then, if not more. Definitely a must-have.
