Review(s): DVD The Dukes of Hazzard (Television Favorites Compilation)
childhood years
Oh, how these shows bring me back to my childhood years. I'm 32 now and I still love watching them. I only hope that my kids will enjoy them as much as I did. I wish they were all filmed in their original location (Covington, GA). I also hope that they release the reunion movies on DVD soon. I believe my hometown was mentioned a couple of times in the shows also. I'll always be a loyal Dukes of Hazzard fan!!!!
5 stars for show, 1 for existing content
The opening comment clearly states that the disc has 3 of the best episodes of the first three seasons. Since those seasons are available in their entirety and for a respectable price each, need I say more? This is yet another disc which was only manufactured in the SLIM chance the shopper needs to replace defective discs already in your library. As a separate purchase in general, it's a waste of money. As Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers would say, "Oh when will we ever learn....":-). Buy the complete sets 1, 2 and 3 and you'll get these episodes and then some.
If you just love a good car show........
I remember this show from when my grandpa used to sit down in our livingroom and turn on The Dukes of Hazzard County. I would be amazed by the excitement. Not just the people but the cars! Oh my God! When that car first made its trademark jump you knew that this was something special. The big thrills out of this show was enough for the rest of my life. I will never forget those times and you shouldn't either! Take this oppurtunity and purchase the best of the best episodes made!This will not be a regreted descision.
The Dukes, a crooked sherrif,beautiful women, awesome cars! and of course....J.D. Hogg.
Shows like these are fading. Don't let it die. I have waited a long time for these to finally come to dvd. Now it's here and I LOVE it.
I hope this helps you decide......

The Dukes of Hazzard: The Complete Fourth Season finds the redneck comedy down to a fine science almost comforting in its predictability. Cousins Bo (John Schneider) and Luke (Tom Wopat) still raise hell with the General Lee in rural Hazzard County (and still have no visible means of financial support). Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach) is still the picture of wildflower innocence despite her tomboyish temper and barely legal short-shorts. Uncle Jesse Duke (Denver Pyle) still basks in righteous anger at longtime enemy (and fellow former moonshiner) Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg (Sorrell Booke), the latter an unrepentant schemer for whom every living thing seems an obstacle in his quest for vast (and unethically acquired) wealth. As sure as the sun rises every day, any scene involving Boss... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): John Schneider DVD Release Date: Released the 02 August 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

Season 3 finds The Dukes of Hazzard coasting on its popular 1980s formula. Cousins Bo (John Schneider) and Luke (Tom Wopat) Duke are still tearing up the road in their '69 orange Dodge Charger, the General Lee, while Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) everlastingly tries to frame them for everything from the theft of his cutlery at the Boar's Nest ("The Hazzardville Horror") to the heist of Stonewall Jackson's sword ("Along Came a Duke"). Meanwhile, leggy cousin Daisy (Catherine Bach) adds some dimension to her eye-candy character by becoming a reporter for the Hazzard Gazette ("By-Line, Daisy Duke") and a kidnap victim ("Enos Strate to the Top") whose innocuous photographs of Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle) in Atlanta happen to capture a couple of bank robbers in action.
I am a big fan of The Dukes of Hazzard, and just because we see some new Duke cousins, dosen't mean it's going to be horrible. Some people may hate Coy and Vance, but it's not their fault, it's Bo and Luke's fault for leaving. Yeeeeeehaaaa!!!! for Coy and Vance More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Tom Wopat DVD Release Date: 13 December 2005

The Dukes of Hazzard settled into a comfortable run in season 2. The show, originally shot on location in Covington, Georgia, was now permanently produced on a backlot in Burbank, California. While a couple of cast members (Ben Jones, who plays mechanic Cooter Davenport, and James Best, who portrays Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane) briefly boycotted the series in its second year (ushering in a parade of brief replacements, including Mickey Jones of the New Christy Minstrels, Dick Sargent of Bewitched, and James Hampton of F Troop), the actors relaxed into their now thoroughly cartoonish characters.
What else can one say: The General Lee, the souped-up '69, orange Dodge Charger that belongs to cousins Bo (John Schneider) and Luke (Tom Wopat) Duke, has a full tank...

This military frontier comedy classic never had a chance to wear out its welcome during its pair of seasons, one in glorious black and white, the other in color. LARRY STORCH, lovable ham that he was, stole every scene he was ever in (except maybe the ones with the HECKOWIS). KEN BERRY was the best "perfect fool" since ED WYNN, MELODY PATTERSON was a rawhide-wrapped sexpot, and FORREST TUCKER held it all together with his rugged charm. Even the second bananas, from inept bugler DOBBS to myopic VANDERBILT to "glory days" ratchet-jaw DUFFY added a lot to the merry mix. That's not even counting the roster of wonderful guest stars, such as PAT HARRINGTON (as B. WISE, a takeoff on GET SMART), CLIFF ARQUETTE, HARVEY KORMAN, JULIE NEWMAR, PHIL HARRIS, MILTON BERLE, VINCENT PRICE, HENRY GIBSON...
