Dukes Of Hazzard - Season 1 (Box Set) (DVD)

The Dukes of Hazzard highlights fast cars, truckers, citizens' band radio, moonshine, irreverent hicks, and clueless lawmen. Dukes managed seven seasons of the tale of a Deep South family of reformed whiskey-makers and their running feud with a greedy impresario and his chief lackey, a buffoonish sheriff.

.... I've never seen "The Dukes of Hazzard" episodes look so sharp and of high quality.

The extras are great, especially the cast gathering. John "Bo" Schneider and Cathy "Daisy" Bach do commentary for the first episode "One Armed Bandit" and you learn alot of trivia whilst listening to them.

The Dukes of Hazzard highlights fast cars, truckers, citizens' band radio, moonshine, irreverent hicks, and clueless lawmen. Dukes managed seven seasons of the tale of a Deep South family of reformed whiskey-makers and their running feud with a greedy impresario and his chief lackey, a buffoonish sheriff.

This three-disc set includes all 13 initial episodes of Dukes from 1979. At the center of the action are Sheriff Roscoe's nemeses, cousins Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke (Tom Wopat), a couple of wild boys buzzing through the backwoods in the "General Lee," a souped-up Dodge Charger. Bo and Luke are good at heart but have to behave themselves while on indefinite probation, complicating but not halting their efforts to vex Roscoe and his patron, diminutive bigwig Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke). The enmity runs both ways: Roscoe and Boss Hogg, with the aid of witless Deputy Enos Strate (Sonny Shroyer), dream up ways of eliminating the Dukes--including their wise old Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle)--but their efforts always backfire.

The set can be bought at all music/video stores and many supermarkets, I found it on Amazon for £19.99.

I was very happy with the picture quality of all 13 episodes, . I've never seen "The Dukes of Hazzard" episodes look so sharp and of high quality.

The extras are great, especially the cast gathering. John "Bo" Schneider and Cathy "Daisy" Bach do commentary for the first episode "One Armed Bandit" and you learn alot of trivia whilst listening to them.

However, as a fan of the series when it was originally shown when I was a child, I found the episodes wuite disappointing. Unlike the A*Team and many others, the show has failed to age well. It looks and feels dated. A timeless classic it is not.

If you are a die hard fan of the Dukes, then this is a must for you, but if you just enjoyed it in the past, leave well alone, you will have fonder memories of it that way
