Somehow as a kid, I've managed to catch this crazy show when it aired on syndication. I don't remember much from it, but do remember being entertained by all the craziness and wild adventures of the General Lee, driven by Cousins Bo and Luke Duke.I've always like cop car chases on TV, so, General Lee being chased around Hazzard County by Boss Hogg and Sheriff Coltrane) is quite entertaining.This show kinds of remind me of famous car chases movies around the same era like Smokey and the Bandit and The Cannonball Run. They're all classic movies of a bygone era where TV can be sexy, appealing, wild but G-rated all at the same time.I remember this show would drive my mom off the wall, but she did buy me some action figures and a General Lee Hotwheel from the show to play it as a kid. Fond memories! Grade B+
... View MoreI picked up the series again after have seen it as a teenager. And as so many teenagers indeed Daisy Duke was my first television crush. But the reason why I have a closer look is that I do like all those American muscle cars. They still beat all those German cars for me. 35 years after being shot you can see that it was well made especially the stunts. Back then CGI didn't exist so they must do all the stunts and there are a lot here to pick up from major jumps to crashes to speeding and slipping in the centre of the town.Can you ever imagine that 309 Dodge Chargers were used throughout the whole series. I was lucky to see one of those Chargers at a convention and it's big. No servo at all and still they are driving it like it was a feather. But not only the Charger, there was one episode were the Dukes has to race against a Ford Mustang. Men, this is a dream, two of my favorite cars against each other. There are so many muscle cars to spot, like Daisy's 1974 Plymouth Roadrunner. This series is pure cult classic. Even the shorts Daisy is wearing became a legend and up to today people refer to Daisy Dukes. And it wasn't intended that she had them on, she came on set with those short on and the erst is history. What a lady.But back to reality, the stories itself weren't always that strong and it's more a slapstick situation that they created. The Smokeys being the retarded ones and the Bandits always being catched by the Dukes. But the acting is what still makes it watchable. Sorrell Brooke (Boss Hogg) really stands out as did Sheriff Coltrane (James Best) with his special way of talking. To be honest they were all well casted.If you grew up beginning eighties then you can pick it up without a doubt. If you don't know the series but are a muscle car addict then pick this up without a doubt, and watch...and listen to those engines....got how funny are those German cars nowadays.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 1,5/5
... View MoreI have always loved the Dukes of Hazzard. The Dukes of Hazzard is the a great T.V. series. It is a good country based t.v. show. Its about a couple of country boys, Bo and Luke Duke and their Uncle Jesse Duke, Cousin Daisy Duke, and friends fighting Boss Hogg and his crooked law with sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane a his deputies Enos and Cletus. Rosco has a basset hound named Flash. The name Flash doesn't go with the dog at all. Flash is Rosco's Police dog. Flash is always really sleepy looking and very slow. Bo and Luke drive a Orange 1969 Dodge Charger. The car is called the General Lee. The General Lee is bright orange with a confederate flag on the top with General Lee on both sides of the flag. It has a big 01 on the doors. Boss Hog always frames the Duke boy for his schemes to make more money. Then the cops start chasing them and the have to get uncle Jesse, Daisy and some other friends sometimes to help them figure out how to get out of their mess.

They fight the system(in that case, big ol' Boss Hogg and his brother-in-law, Roscoe P. Coltrane)and they usually win, even though Boss and Roscoe will do whatever it takes to get the Duke boys arrested. This is a great show with fast cars and cute guys. I first saw it four years ago when I was nine, and I still love it to this day. It's a great family show from my point of view. The boys wish they were Bo or Luke, fighting the system, the little girls wish they were Daisy, and the big girls wish they were with Bo or with Luke. And I loved this show so much, I did the famous hood-slide off my dad's car. It's a great show.
