Summary: Classic
Review: How can this show not be considered a classic! There is absolutely no racist value portrayed in this series. Anyone who has actually seen the show should be able to testify to that. A Confederate Flag while typically associated with the slavery issue it is actually representative of States Rights to govern themselves free of Federal influence. (...) Robert E. Lee could arguably be considered the greatest general in US History; he is at least in the top three. He was not fighting to preserve the institution of slavery; he was fighting for Virginia, the only thing he loved more than the United States of America. There is his dilemma, fight for the country he loves or the state he loves? Obviously he chose his state, fighting only for their individual right to govern, not even close to an issue of slavery. Its pointless to even talk about this in the Dukes of Hazzard review because it actually has nothing to do with the Dukes of Hazzard, if you want a classic family TV show check this one out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Never a dull moment
Review: Contrarily to what Mike from NY thinks the Dukes of Hazzard is not a racist show never was. Just because they named there vehicle after the greatest general ever born General Robert E. Lee and have a confederate flag on there car does not make them racist. Yes the show might have stereo typed southern people but then don't most shows do that. Overall, it is a great show with hometown values a show that your whole family can sit down and enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NOT racist
Review: In fact, several of the Duke's racing buddies are African American, their dentist is African American... in the episode with NASCAR driver Cale Yarborough, his pit chief/mechanic is an African American... and that's just to name a few instances. I challenge anyone to find actual instances of racism in this good, clean, family television show. And don't say the flag, because that's just literally ignorant. Number one, during the Civil War, the Confederate States of America was primarily fighting for the autonomy of the individual states, not to keep slavery legal. Number two, actual racist groups HAVE inappropriately used the flag to represent themselves, but that DOES NOT make anyone who is proud to be from the South a racist. That's just as much a stereotype as what you are blaming us for supposedly doing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What do you expect??
Review: What do you expect out of a Yankee from NY???

Regardless, this is a great show and I look forward to owning it on DVD..

YEHAW!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mike, get your facts straight
Review: I challenge anyone to find a single instance of racism in the whole series. You won't because there aren't any. As for Robert E Lee - he did not found the KKK and was never a member. The KKK was founded by Nathan Bedford Forrest. (Didn't you ever watch Forrest Gump? His name contributes to one of the first scenes in the movie.) General Lee did fight for the Confederacy, but it was only because of his belief in states' rights, not for slavery. In fact, he inherited 130 slaves and promptly freed them due to his hatred of the institution of slavery.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THE MOST RACIST SHOW ON TV
Review: Entertaining show, for country rednecks. This series was the most racist show on tv, from the confederate flag,down to the #@%@ car named the General Lee after the founder of the KKK. Please..... just the good old country boys is right.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am so glad they are bringing the Dukes to DVD
Review: I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard on TV. It was good back then, and it is just as good today, maybe even better. The plot is fairly simple, it does not really take a detective to watch the show. You have the Duke boys, who Boss Hogg wants to send back to jail because they keep thwarting his scams. Thier Uncle Jessie, who they live with, was at one time a moonshiner who now is a lawful citizen. Now Boss Hogg is not an angel himself, he is always comming up with a scam to make money, and the Duke boys often find themselves in the middle of it. But all is not lost, because Uncle Jessie, Daisy, and Cooter will come to the rescue to make everything alright again in Hazzard County.

I think what I liked most about this show was, for the half an hour it was on tv, it was a break from reality. You got to see basically good people having a good time. Even Boss Hogg, the "bad guy" in the series had a good heart, although he was a little greedy with the fried chicken and money. I laughed every time he smacked Rosco's hand when Rosco tried to take a peice of fried chicken. And I loved the car, watching the General Lee jump creeks, ponds, barns and other cars. Daisy was as sweet a southern bell as any I have ever seen. And Rosco often had me laughing so hard, with his little noises and facial expressions. I highly reccomend this series. Anyone who has a kids heart will love this show.

Summary: Yeeee-Haaaww! - this brings tears to my eyes - a must have!
Review: Finally! I am going to get one of my favorite shows on DVD.
This was my favorite show as a young child! I stayed up late to watch it. I'm gonna cry. This is too much.

thank you for finally releasing this show!

now if they would only release the original Andy Griffith shows complete seasons on DVD then I'd be set.
That was one of my Dad's favorite shows that grew on me over a long period of time and as an adult is right with this Dukes set as a must have and worthy of repeated viewings.

Both of the shows have high family values - which isn't as popular as it used to be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good 70-80's Tv Classic Show
Review: The two brothers Duke travels the Hazzard County in a red GTO called General Lee avoiding the inept Sheriff Roscoe Coltrane and his boss Hogg and hiding on the Uncle Jessie home.

Daisy the short skinned beauty helps them in twarting Hogg plans and fooling the inept Sheriff Dept force.

Good show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!
Review: There is not a lot to say - other then FINALLY! The Dukes of Hazzard is my all time favorite show! I remember literaly running home from school so that I would not a miss a minute of the show. I could watch the re-runs all day long with no complaints! I am just extatic about the whole deal! Less then 2 months to go! (And it will not come soon enough!) :)
