Seriously? I was three years old when the series began and even at that age I wanted to see Daisy. The epic car chases were a close second, but still.

General Lee wasn’t just a car, he was a character.

I always wanted a prequel series about uncle Jessie and Boss Hogg when they were both younger men in Hazzard. At the very least it would have been a great flashback episode to do.

Just a good Ole Boy

The Dukes of Hazzard is a timeless 80's classic from the Golden Era of Television. You just cannot replicate the magic of this long running show

When this show was on, I was just a very young kid. I always rooted for Rosco, he was my favourite character. I think he was just something I really warmed to, with his strange laugh, comical scenes with Boss Hogg and his sidekick bloodhound 'Flash' who he would chat too quite a bit.

10:47 That's NOT Cooter. That's Cletus who was portrayed by Rick Hurst. Otherwise, great video. Loved the show as a kid.

The Dukes of Hazzard will always be one of my favorite TV shows.

It’s so hard to explain how important this phenomenon was to a kid growing up in the South when this show was in its prime!! I couldn’t wait to watch it on Friday nights with my Dad. Truly good times!

I still love seeing these actors. Every time they showed up on TV after the series, there was a little nod back to the glory days.

I must say this review did the series justice, well done.

John Schneider actually lives down the road from me and he started dirt track racing a few years ago and I helped with some of his race cars. Hearing some of the stories he would tell behind the scenes were really cool to hear and actually get to work on his general Lee was really cool as well

Man I loved this show, as well all you mentioned. But the General Lee was it. While everyone had the Heather Thomas poster on their wall growing up, I had a General Lee poster. Rewatched it a few years ago from start to finish with DVDs from the library. Friday nights were always this with my parents growing up. This was an awesome video, learned some things. And the Smallville episode had so many Dukes easter eggs

Fun fact: Roscoe's iconic giggle is the same one he used to make his kids and his grandkids laugh, so he used it in the series. He said that he felt that giggle gave Roscoe more innocence than how he was originally written as. Originally, Roscoe was straight up corrupt but he wanted Roscoe more innocent, and it fit considering the show was marketed heavily to kids. I was born in late 93 so this show is a bit before my time, BUT in my childhood, CMT ran CONSTANT reruns of TDOH

Yep, I grew up on Dukes Of Hazzard, love it!

As someone who has pretty much made a career out of talking about The Dukes of Hazzard, I want to thank you for making this video. You told the history of the show with perfection. You did an incredible job, and I enjoy the fact that you kept it just about the show and not the controversy surrounding the car. Fantastic job, you have earned a subscription from me! I look forward to watching more of your videos soon!

Joblo has some good stuff for sure, especially horror movie stuff.

Here in the U.K. we never had homegrown shows like this so we had to make do with the U.S. shows like "Knight rider", "Airwolf", "A-Team", but "Dukes of Hazard" was my favourite. Daisy and the General lee had a profound affect on a teenage boy.

But, but you had the doombolt chase.

James Best put such a lot of effort into Roscoe, just loved what they all brought to the show. It was for all of the family. We have not had anything like it since.

Did I see a Ford Gran Torino in red with a white stripe at 4m10? The car used by Starsky and Hutch in the 70s tv show 😃

The car stunts look impressive now. As there was no CGI then.

I grew up near the hills where the show was filmed. It wasn’t unusual to find a demolished and abandoned General Lee for us kids to play on.

John Schneider said he did most of the stunts with the driving sequence.

Schneider and Wopat leaving the show due to not getting a piece of the percentage for merchandising was talked about during the E! True Hollywood Stories about this show.

I grew up watching The Dukes of Hazzard with my dad. Rosco P. Coltran, Boss Hog, & Daisy Duke where my favorite. The cousins were awful replacements.

That is why I boycotted in watching The Dukes Of Hazzard when Coy and Vance stepped in the series during John Schnieder and Tom Wopat dispute over the merchandise and other issues. I still feel though that they should have brought back in one of the reunion movies Coy and Vance at least because they were a part of the show. I would have liked to have seen Hughey and Dewey Hogg in the reunion. I am just saying because they were a part of the show during certain episodes while the series ran.

I miss this show. As you said it was kinda perfect for its time. literal lightning in a bottle.

My 9 and 10 yr old kids love the show. So dated in some ways, yet timelessly enjoyable.

The series can be viewed in 1080P on streaming. It is so clear that details can be seen such as the General Lee's roll cage made of PVC Pipe and Duct tape, and other details never meant to be seen on old tube televisions in the 80's.

I watched this show as a kid and I can’t stand to see it now.

LOVED this show as a kid. Great times, man.

There will never be shows as good as The Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, and The A-Team

I’m watching the Dukes of Hazzard right now on DVD. I also collected the 4 movies. In season 3 right now. Been enjoying it

I watched this show all the time and loved the chases and antics them Duke boys got into and the General Lee as well. And yes... Daisy Duke was floating around in my dreams as well. I don't think it can be made now either. It's just goofy fun with what now could be problematic stereotypes and bad affilations. But I'm happy to have grown up with it.

I grew up watching reruns on TNN and it was awesome

There's people that are still chasing that model, and specifically the cars that were actually filmed for the show. I mean they get down to the specific color code, tires, engine, and everything.

Man I loved this show as a 80s teen. I gotta wonder if Dukes taught me how to drive. My licence points say yes...

From what I read The General Lee car is currently on display in museum dedicated to television memorabillia.

I love how cooter could fix the car brand new in one day or should I say overnight

James Best as Sheriff Rosco was brilliant in this series 📺👌👌

I grew up watching this show, yet had no idea that Jonny Paycheck was a real person 😂

I wish they put the dukes of Hazzard back on tv I grew up watching 70s

I grew up watching The Dukes of Hazzard, every Friday night I'd be right there in front of the TV 😁 I had the BIGGEST crush on Bo Duke 🥰🥰🥰 Still love to watch John Schneider in anything, he was SO ICONIC as Jonathan Kent on Smallville as well ❤️💗🩷

Thank you for the review! Well done and wonderfully accurate (other than the Cooter/Cletus mix-up)! So good to see a review done by a true (fellow) fan The Dukes of Hazzard who clearly watched and appreciated the show and understood its message!

Cooters place in Gatlinburg was great. I got to meet them all except Tom Wopat once. They had almost the whole cast there meeting people. I still have my shirt I had them all sign. Very nice people and Cooter is a class act. Great guy.

I still have my Dukes record and slot car too. along with my general lee where the top opens up and you can put the guys in there. :) Sorry for the posts. Just love this show growing up and still do.

Interesting fact about Sorrell Booke is that whenever he appeared at Dukes of Hazzard conventions, he always appeared as Boss Hogg in full costume, correctly believing that the children in attendance would want and expect to see Boss Hogg and not Sorrell Booke and he never wanted to let them down. What a lovely man and wonderful actor.

And we all have to make sure we give our thanks and remember the sacrifice that was made by Richie, Buddy and The Bopper for taking that plane as Waylon gave up his seat and was able to stay alive to create one of the most beloved and icon theme songs.

the greatest tv show on earth!

I still say they should bring it back and have the original Bo and Luke as Uncle Jesse's character

Here in the UK we got to watch this on Saturday mornings during the 80s along with Little House on the Prairie and Huckleberry Finn if I remember correctly. Then I’d go out and play for the rest of the day!

Apart from the Jeep, Daisy also drove a 1974 Plymouth Road Runner

Tom Wopat lived in my hometown of Dayton, Tennessee, for a while. He may still be there. My friend from high school used to babysit his kids.

cool fun fact......when i got my first real computer, got on AOL for the very first time, the very first thing i searched for on the "Internet" was Dukes of Hazzard. LOL

The Dukes of Hazard was my favorite show when I was a kid in the early 80's. I wanted to be Bow. I had so many Dukes of Hazard toys, the big wheel, etc. I didn't like Roscoe as a kid but since I've been an adult, I think James Best did a great job playing his character.

This show is yet again a good example of how casting can make or break a show.

Got my drivers license in 1980. Can confirm.

That Johnny Paycheck episode on Mike Judge’s Tales From the Tour Bus is wild.

My comfort show 😊

Great times. I loved that show.

Great Job on this.... Upsetting however to see my work show up in this... but I had to expect it I guess. Anytime there's Dukes, there's a Dixie horn. And somehow, my work inevitably shows up. The horn heard at around 11:35 is actually my horn taken from my website. And also the sound I sold to Warner brothers for the 2005 movie. Since then, it's showed up everywhere I would least expect it. Cell phone rings, Family Guy, even the Dukes General Lee Cars. Much like Bo and Luke, I didn't get paid for the extra stuff it was used for. It just kills me... but what can you do? Anyway, very nice job on the video. George F. South Carolina USA

I agree with the last Dukes movie being buried. I tried to watch it a few weeks ago. I stopped it about 15 minutes in. At least the 2005 movie was finishable.

My sister and I would spend Friday nights at my grandparents' house, and we always watched Dukes of Hazzard and Hulk. Good times! I sure miss my grandparents 🥲

Because of the way James Best would say Roscoe's name, as a kid I thought the character was "Roscoe Pecole Train".

I think DOH was one of those shows that wasnt violent. as far as I can remember no one was killed, tortured or maimed. it was a fun show.

I salute the heroic voice actors who dubbed this show for Latin America. I used to love it, I had a great time with it.

Best show ever

Yeah, this show would definitely not work in today's politically-correct environment. I watched this back in the 80s as a young man and all's I can say is God bless the Daisy Dukes! Thanks for the memories, Mr Blo!

Isn’t it amazing how that car stayed so cherry , considering how they drove it .

My favourite show as a kid, im in love with dodge chargers because of this show ❤

It wasn't a cigarette 🚬 For John It was a Six Pack of Beer 🍺

I LOVED the original show. I remember watching it while I was growing up and I was on 7 when it 1st came out. Them Dukes them Dukes. Gee gee. Buckle up Flash😊

Daisy, Daisy,Daisy!

I actually loved the prequel. The low budget reminded me of the show and it was cool seeing an almost origin story for the characters

I have a Boss Hog figure still. I laugh all the time that the figure has a cigar in his hand

It's both Amazing and Disgusting how the REBEL FLAG was edited out of Every Shot showing the car.

Wrong actor being shown when talking about Cooter.

James Best lived in Irmo South Carolina not too far from where I grew up.

This show was my favorite as a child so much it was used against me by my mom & sister who would force me to go to be at 7:30 when the Dukes came on and they'd play the show loud enough to hear the theme song then change the channel. They just knew it was the one thing that would make me break down and cry, not sure what books my mom read about parenting but...

Let me start off by saying, I love your videos. I'm a huge fan of your content.... 😀 That being said.... The actor playing Boss Hogg's last name is Booke, like what you would find in a library, not Brook. And all the times you mentioned Ben Jones and Cooter, you showed footage of Rick Hurst and his character Cletus.

I loved this show as a kid yeeeeeehaaaaa!

I used to ask my parents if they would roll the window down and let me get in through the window.

In Jan of 2014 they remastered the series in 1080p high definition and briefly aired them on the “CMT” network shortly before series got “cancelled” because of general Lee’s confederate flag, looking back was taking off before they even aired all the HD episodes

I got a General Lee for Christmas... it was destroyed by New Years...i threw that thing off everything..

At least one other person mentioned that the video shows Rick Hurst as Cletus each time when Cooter is mentioned, but I need to point out that Boss Hogg was played by Sorrell BOOKE, not BROOKS.

Looks like them Duke boys are at it again.

Nice video

all those Cooter (Ben Jones)shots are actually Cletus (Rick Hurst)... separate characters...

Nobody talks about the yellow car Daisy had BEFORE the white Jeep. The one that ended up crashed and burned. I think it was a ´73 Roadrunner.

Watching it now I feel like Flash is supposed to be a nod to Columbo, who also had a Basset Hound. It just seems like a funny way to show how Roscoe might of thought of himself as a great detective.

I remember when it premiered. I was nine years old at the time, and I had only seen the name of the show, so I had no idea what it was about. I was thinking, "The Dukes of Hazzard? Maybe it's about some kind of adventure seeking aristocratic types." So, I watched it. And I kept watching it, for years. Except for season five, of course. For some reason my TV couldn't get CBS that year.

Oh my god there's a museum? I gotta go

7:08 the blue is reminiscent of Car 00, the "brother" to the General Lee, Car 01.

I was 14 just shy of 15 when the series premiered and I was instantly hooked so bad that I found a 69 Charger in a local junk yard when I turned 17 and my father and I restored it and a friend who was a sign maker did the graphics for the 01's,flag,lettering and it became one of the earliest replica's around my area.It's just a shame that the current "WOKE" movement has deemed the show "racist" due to the Battle Flag of the confederacy is on the roof and now the show is "banned" from normal TV and only available through certain streaming channels.Anything even remotely related to the confederacy is now taboo so us fans who have replica cars are automatically assumed racist.

Yes, it's ridiculous... I grew up in the south, and the only thing that flag ever meant to me (and anyone I knew) was "pride in your southern roots."

i always wondered the context of the starsky and hutch torino showing up in GA.

A show I watched so many reruns of on cmt even growing up in the early 2000’s and missing out on the original run I loved every minute of the series though the season without Bo and Luke wasn’t the best all the other characters helped keep it together
