Summary: The Dukes of Hazzard Season 1 is finally on DVD YeeeeHaaa!
Review: The Duke boys and their beautiful cousin Daisy battle the law and fight for the good guys. While they always seem to get in to trouble, They always have a way of getting out of it. (...) Warner Bros Home Video have created some exciting new features for the DVD set including cast and crew commentary, "The 20th Anniversary Hazzard County Barbeque" documentary including John Schneider and Catherine Bach, and a "Dukes Driving 101" featurette including interviews with professional racecar drivers!" A great classic to own for all those fans who grew up with this show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A blast from the past
Review: I can remember being in the 4th grade, and rushing to be in front of the TV every Friday night to watch The Dukes of Hazzard. Although that was a long time ago, I still have great memories of this show. I mean, what's not to like? Car chases, Daisy Duke, Boss Hogg and his sidekick Rosco, and of course the stars of the show Bo and Luke. I can't wait to add this DVD set to my collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enos! Git in the car you dipstick!
Review: i used to love this show as a kid. i remember when i was in 1st grade and looking forward to the 9:00pm timeslot just to see the General Lee jump over things while sherrif Roscoe P. Coltraine and deputies Enos and or Cletus always ended up totalling their patrol cars in their attempts to ensure J.D. "Boss" Hogg's schemes go off without a hitch. when i started high school Dukes ran as reruns on TNN (now known as SPIKE TV) and over summer vacation me and a couple of the guys would watch it before heading out on our skateboards doing bad impressions of a hilarious cast. i also remember a friend of my sister's car had the General Lee's horn music for it's horn and i used to ask him to beep his car's horn. ahh memories. too bad we have to wait until July to relive the days with the "good ole boys never meanin' no harm"...DIPSTICKS!!!

Summary: Reliving my childhood once disc at a time
Review: As a child growing up, I was a big fan of the Dukes of Hazzard. Over the past decade, I've frequently watched reruns on cable TV.

A few years ago I was talking about the Dukes of Hazzard with my wife, who had never seen an episode or even heard about the Dukes. she promised that she would watch an episode with me when (if ever) it came out on DVD.

Well, yesterday we sat down and watched the first episode, "One Armed Bandits". She liked it so much that we ended up watching 4 episodes together that night. I guess things don't change. Everyone likes the Dukes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great picture transfer, CRAPPY sound
Review: I'm a huge dukes fan, and as such I feel that $30 is a great deal for 3 double sided dvd's full of all things duke. However the releasing company *really* dropped the ball by only offering 1 channel dolby digital surround (and that one channel is *very* quiet.) To save those of you with decent systems a bit of time and aggravation, the best sound quality I've found so far is having the dvd player downmix the dolby digital into pcm (under the player's audio menu), and then applying whatever sound field you want at the receiver level. For me, the best sound was 5 channel stereo.

Once again, *GREAT* picture transfer, I just hope season 2 offers better sound (and for 1 channel sound, I have to deduct 1 star, if the visuals weren't so nice the duke boys would have missed a jump.)

Summary: THE GREATEST TV SHOW IN HISTORY!
Review: YEAH HAW! It's about time! I have loved this show since i was a kid and am so glad it's finally comming to DVD. I wish i could be the 5th duke boy! What more can you say that hasn't already been said? The show itself was awesome, the cast amazing, the good ol' fun can't be beat! A must for any fan of the show. Let's hope season 2 comes out soon!

Summary: Welcome to Hazzard County!
Review: "Welcome to Hazzard County",says the now-deceased off-screen narrator Waylon Jennings,just before the playing of the opening montage for the first episode,ONE-ARMED BANDITS. GOOD OL' BOYS,written and performed by Jennings is the theme song. We see his guitar and hands(and nothing else of his) in the montage. The "one-armed bandits" are slot machines just like what casinos have. Sheriff Roscoe Coltrane(James Best) is considering legalization of gambling. Also he's about to become re-elected Hazzard County Sheriff. Roscoe's sister Lulu(Peggy Rea in a recurring role) is married to Hazzard commissioner Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg(the late Sorrell Booke). He owns Boar's Nest,a pub and short order restaurant where Daisy Duke(Catherine Bach) works as a waitress. The stars are Tom Wopat and John Schneider,who themselves are country music artists,as cousins Luke and Bo Duke. Daisy,also a cousin of Luke's and Bo's(nobody knows about their fathers),is strongly liked by Deputy Enos Strate(Sonny Shroyer). Between Enos and Roscoe,Enos is the nice one. Enos would only arrest the Dukes when ordered to by Roscoe or Boss Hogg. But,they quickly broke free from all apprehensions. The late Denver Pyle is the Dukes' uncle Jesse,the white-haired and white-bearded patriarch of the family. Also there's Cooter Davenport(Ben Jones) who runs a auto repair shop. He would even escape the clutches of Roscoe. Unlike many other shows,each Dukes of Hazzard episode title would appear at the beginning of every episode. Shroyer did not appear in the opening montage for the first season,since his role then was only recurring. Also seen in the first season briefly was Boss Hogg's cousin Cletus(Rick Hurst) who'd join the DOH cast from 1980 to 1983. From the second season on,we'd still see Jennings' hands in the opening montage but with an electric guitar(an acoustic guitar is seen in the 1st season montage).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Switched Singer's Name: Revealed!
Review: In the original first episode, Daisy's song was to be recorded by country star Jessie Colter. Warner Brothers must have felt the name Loretta Lynn withstood the test of time better.
