Summary: Timeless Humor and Entertainment
Review: I grew up on the Dukes and was born they debuted. I remember watching them as a little kid and loving the show. It wasn't until I was in high school and they would be on TNN as re-runs that I saw them again. We would put TNN on in the weight room and watch as we warmed up or cooled down from practice. Then they took it off the air again and I went about my life not thinking much about it.
Then I saw the first season on DVD and instantly bought it. It did not disappoint. Sure it was corny and hokey and and little less intense than I remeber it being, but it was cool! I loved it and loved every episode and watching it just made time slip away. It is a timeless classic that make you forget about your troubles. Just go watch the Dukes! The car is cool, the the characters are one of a kind and the morals taught are the ones that need to be brought back into our society today.

Summary: Great 70's Nostalgia
Review: This was by all accounts a fun show, as a 1979 mid-season replacement & coming on the heels of 1977's "Smokey & the Bandit", one can see why it did so well , it was not a show to be taken seriously, the pilot episode "One armed Bandits" is probably the best, shot in Georgia, which really shows by the way, unlike future episodes shot on the backlot of Warner Bros, this particular episode shows a more serious side to the Duke saga, Bo & Luke are not the cartoon characters they became later, they both have an edge to them, as well as questionable practices, such as Bo's comment to Luke that one of the kids at a nearby orphange could be his, or Daisy who comes off as not so innocent, or Uncle Jesse who has an edge to him not seen in later shows, Roscoe P. Coltrane who later became a bumbling idiot is a hard-nosed sherriff, very reminisent to Jackie Gleason's Buford T. Justice in "Bandit" who justify's his actions regarding his lost pension, & Boss Hogg in this episode acts more like a politican & not the cartoon character he would become, the first season was great, & highly recommended for those who liked the edgyness this show had at first, but by the time you get to the 12th & 13th episode, you can see the edge slipping away, the second season was mired by controversy though, with James Best(Roscoe) protesting the direction of his character(wonder why??) & Ben Jones(Cooter) protesting over his character's appearance(they wanted a clean cut Cooter) to Sonny Shoyer(Enos) possible spin-off show, not to mention the writers & actors strike in 1980 that kept one of the best two-part episodes "Carnival Of Thrills" out of season 2, where it rightfully belongs, hope this is on the season 2 set said to be slated later in the year, if so, 1 & 2 are the only seasons to get, the rest that followed were not as good, & are in my view nothing but a cartoon cutout, like many shows, the direction was changed & the outcome a joke to many viewers & critics, they should have kept the edge, but they didn't & screwing John Schieder(Bo) & Tom Wopat(Luke) out of their royalties was the death knell for this show, highly recommend season 1 & 2 though!!!, but that is about it!! unless you like the cartoonish stuff, I would stop at season 2!!!

Summary: Another One of My Favorite Television Shows
Review: The Dukes of Hazzard is one, out of many, shows that are my favorite. This 3 disc collection is a great asset to any collection. The show stars Tom Wapot as Luke Duke, John Schneider as Bo Duke, Cathrine Bach as Daisy Duke, Denver Pyle as Jesse Duke, James Best as Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, Sorrell Booke as Boss Hogg, Ben Cooper as Cooter, and Waylon Jennings as the Balladeer.
There are 13 episodes total. Each disc has two sides, except the third disc that only has one side. Each side has 3 episodes. The final disc has the 13th episode and has some bonus features. The bonus materials are ok, they include the 2oth Anniversary Hazzard County Barbecue Documentary, Dukes Driving 101: A High Octane Salute featurette, and a video game preview for, The Dukes of Hazzard: The Return of the General Lee.
This collection has the total running time, not including bonus materials, of about 637 minutes, it is presented in a fullscreen format and filmed in 1979. The "Dukes of Hazzard Season One" is a great addition if you like the Dukes and the General Lee.
