Summary: A Classic TV Show
Review: I used to watch this show so often when I was young. It was a classic Tv series. It is about time this series got released on DVD. I wonder if the other seasons will be released on DVD as well?

Summary: TV the way it should be!
Review: Those were the days.The days when a family could watch Quality TV shows together.
The days when shows like "Quincy M.E.", "Columbo", and "The Dukes Of Hazzard" would all be on in our homes.
Well, "Dukes" fans, you can now relive those beautiful days, because "The Dukes Of Hazzard: The Complete First Season" is on DVD!
Those rebellious, yet harmless Duke boys, Bo and Luke Duke, joined by their cute cousin Daisy, and their righteous Uncle Jesse can once again be enjoyed by us all.
But we cant also forget the bumbling sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, Officers Enos and Cletus, the lovable Cooter, and of course Boss Hogg himself.
All of these characters combine to create an American cult classic TV Show.
"The Dukes of Hazzard" has only grown in popularity as time has elapsed.
And finally, Warner Bros. presents us with this cool Dukes DVD collection of episodes, ALL of the episodes from the first season, which aired back in 1979.
We are even treated to a special commentary by BO (John Schneider) and DAISY (Catherine Bach) Duke, as they join us for commentary on the first ever Dukes episode, "One Armed bandits".
This show proves that TV isnt what it used to be.
On The Dukes of Hazzard, you didnt see people get shot and killed, like you do on tv these days.
On the Dukes, Daisy could be beautiful just be being herself (of course, her short shorts helped), unlike the sleezy junk that we see on current television.
There was actually a moral to the story each week on the Dukes, unlike tv these days, most of which,have never heard of morals.
The Dukes Of Hazzard is one of the all-time great TV Shows for many reasons.
It was fun to watch. It is fun to watch. The show was pure fun.It still is pure fun. Watching the famous 69' Dodge Charger, The General Lee, jump high in the air, as if it had wings, every week, was and is fun.
Watching Bo and Luke get themselves into and then out of trouble was and is fun.
Watching the keystone cop-like antics of Rosco, Enos, Cletus, and Boss Hogg was and is fun.
Its the timeless story of the good guys staying just one step ahead of the bad guys. But what is so special about this show is that, there werent really any main characters who could be called "bad".
They all had redeeming qualities to them, even the corrupt Hazzard County Police.
Just like Robin Hood was considered a "crook", because he stole from the rich and gave to the poor, Bo and Luke Duke did the same. Now the Dukes never truly stole anything, they just "borrowed" it from the bad guys who stole it, and in turn, the Dukes gave it in such a way, as to make life better for everyone.
The Dukes were, are and always will be classic shows because they have the timeless qualities that all classics have.
A great story that has morals, fun, excitement, laughter, and a story where the good guys finish first.
Today's tv shows can learn alot from the awesome show that is, was and will always be "The Dukes Of Hazzard", one of the greatest shows ever!
Enjoy this DVD....its not hard to do. Just strap yourself in, and hang on, for one of the most exciting shows in the history of tv.
Once you visit Hazzard County, you never truly leave it, and it never truly leaves you either.
Because its a Happy place to be.
Thus the ultimate reason why the show is so popular.
After watching the Dukes, you realize how life is about love, laughs and having fun.
YAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
P.S. Warner Bros, you better not let us down by only releasing just one season of the Dukes. Bring us all of the classic shows with Bo and Luke. If you dont, we'll be after you like the General Lee on its way to the "Boar's nest"!

Summary: Fantastic presentation
Review: After waiting what seemed forever to finally own THE DUKES OF HAZZARD on DVD, the wait was well worth it. Not only is the complete first season here, with excellent picture quality and a nice sound, but the packaging is first class, too--great pictures and a cool slip cover! Warner Brothers has done a great job with this release, while also offering us the reunion documentary with all of the surviving cast members (except Tom Wopat, who was playing in a Broadway show at the time of filming). I loved this show as a kid, enjoyed the reruns on TNN in the mid-'90s, and all I can say is bring on the rest of the seasons....we're all waiting for them! (On a side note, I'm hoping for more commentary on subsequent season releases with various cast members [including Coy and Vance!] as well as all of the original episodes of the ENOS show as a bonus feature, too.)

Summary: It's about time
Review: I've watched complete season dvd's come out for show after show that didn't have nearly the cultural effect that the Dukes of Hazard had in it's day (I bet you never saw a Cheers lunch box or Sam Malone on a poster!). Thankfully we finally get to enjoy one of the best shows ever put out!
The first season is an interesting one in that you'll notice a couple things that may take you by surprise. First, the surroundings. The first few shows were taped in Georgia (not far from Atlanta) so downtown Hazard on a few car chases will look different from the Hazard shown in the remainder of the series. The second thing you'll notice is a "smart" Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. As you watch the first season you'll notice him changing more and more into the character that we all know and love from the second season to the final episodes of the show. Boss Hogg's character starts to take on the life that we're more used to as well. As the shows go on you'll notice him eating more and more often with the helpings getting bigger and bigger.
A special treat for the guys, one of the first episodes is also the famous Daisy bikini show that is on the intro during the rest of the series.
Overall, the first season is a must have to set the stage for the rest of the series. I, personally, found it very fun and interesting to watch the characters develope and of course, the sotry lines are great and full of fun as well.

Summary: Can someone turn up the volume please?
Review: Decent box set, although this show is not as good as I remember. Corny, overacted 70's characters (especially the girls who guest star). The volume is way too low, the picture good. Obvious overdubbing from the original dialogue in at least one episode. Nice to have overall, though. I recall (as a kid) liking the 2nd season too, but after that, it was all downhill.

Summary: What a fun show!
Review: I watched the Dukes every Friday night when I was little, and I loved it. It's so much fun getting to watch it again. It seems that's how most people feel about it, but it's worth repeating. And the "extras" on the disc are fun too - there's a 20 year cast reunion and a commentary by John Schneider and Catherine Bach on Episode one.
And, like many others have also said, John Schneider was one of my first crushes as well (Randolph Mantooth was the very first, though). This DVD set brings back a lot of memories!

Review: People are offended at the cursing, but not the racism? Forget it...I quit. I'm outta here. See you in Frisco.

Summary: Reliving childhood memories
Review: I was five years old when I started watching this show. It was around the 3rd or 4th season by then, & John Schneider became my first crush. The show was just about a family having fun & the "bad guys" became friends with "the good guys" in many shows. This kept my attention in some ways because it showed me that even when people don't get along at times, they can still relate to each other on some level. Anyway, I was at the tv every Friday night at 8pm sharp as not to miss one minute. I evenually had all the memorbilia that was avaliable (board games, model cars, dolls, posters, etc). Now that is released on DVD I can reminice to those Friday nights that were so important.

Summary: The best Series
Review: This is an amazing dvd boxed set of one of the best television shows on televeision. This show is much more than a car chase around Hazzard county, it shows many moral messages and also how to drive very well. This is a great gift for anyone or especially to all you Dukes fans out there. Buy this quickly, you will enjoy it very much.
