This is the best way to buy the entire Dukes of Hazzard TV series. My son watches these over and over, with time the discs always become scratched...so even for the seasons that we already have, it's nice to have a backup. If you're trying to unplug from cable, buying seasons of decent TV shows is a good way to do it - with the bonus of no commercials! Bo,Luke, Daisy Duke, Uncle Jessie, Cooter, etc. are all likeable characters. It's a pretty innocent show, even the bad guys are comical. Quite a few country music stars of the era make cameo appearances, or play a song at the end of the show, which is an added bonus.

From 1979 to 1985, the very popular CBS program "The Dukes Of Hazzard" became a fixture and staple of Friday evenings for many viewers during that time (myself included). The show produced a total of 145 episodes, each time scoring high in the Nielsen ratings. Taking place in fictional Hazzard county in the Southern United States, the series focused on the continuing adventures of cousins Bo (John Schneider), Luke (Tom Wopat) and Daisy (Catherine Bach), along with the family patriarch Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle), as they continually try to outwit the corrupt County Commissioner J. D. Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and the town's sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (James Best). Usually assisting Hogg and Roscoe in their schemes are deputies Enos Strate (Sonny Shroyer)and Cletus Hogg (Rick Hurst). The Dukes are also good friends with the town mechanic Cooter Davenport (Ben Jones). Appearing in several of the season five episodes are cousins Vance (Christopher Mayer) and Coy (Byron Cherry), who stayed on the Duke farm while Bo and Luke went to realize a life-long dream of racing on the NASCAR circuit. Occasionally visiting in Hazzard is Boss Hogg's crooked nephew Hughie Hogg (Jeff Altman), who usually ends up more dishonest than his uncle. Boss Hogg's wife, and Rosco's "fat sister", was Lulu Coltrane Hogg (Peggy Rea), who constantly challenged her husband for authority and rallied for the equality of women in Hazzard, and was one of the few people in Hazzard that Hogg was actually scared of, though he seemed to genuinely love and care for her. The main narrator of the series for the entire run of the show was Country music superstar Waylon Jennings, who is credited as the Balladeer. After numerous requests from fans to see the Balladeer on-screen, Waylon finally appeared in one episode, the seventh season's aptly titled "Welcome, Waylon Jennings", in which he was presented as an old friend of the Dukes. Of course, there were many other celebrities who made guest appearances on the show, as well: Cale Yarborough, Jaine Fricke, Mel Tillis, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Johnny Paycheck, Dottie West, Tammy Wynette, Hoyt Axton, Donna Fargo, Freddy Fender, The Oak Ridge Boys and Buck Owens made cameos as themselves in various episodes. Now, all 145 episodes from all 7 complete seasons are gathered together in this massive collection, contained on 39 DVD discs. Each show is presented in its original, chronological order of broadcast. There are also numerous DVD extras that showcase the on-going popularity and legacy of this unique series, created by Gy Waldron. So, sit back and take a spin in the General Lee over to the Boar's Nest for some good old down-home fun, with "The Dukes Of Hazzard" on DVD.Read full review
It is a shame that they don't make more shows like the dukes of hazzard. Maybe the younger audience doesn't like this show, but those of us who are older do appreciate it? In fact, I wish they would put it and other shows like it back on television again? I like the fact that it contains humor, links to American history, a serious side, and heart warming characters? It is funny, sad, happy, crazy and it holds your interest through the whole season you are watching? I would recommend this show to all parents of very young children; it is very funny and without a lot of sexual content unlike most of today's shows? Thank you Tm68purple.

You can't go wrong with the complete seven season set. Each season has additional features on the last dvd that give you an inside look and behind the scenes bonus footage of the cast, crew, stunts, etc. Very interesting for any Dukes fan. The only season I didn't care for was the fifth season with the replacement duke boys (Coy and Vance). Thank goodness Bo and Luke came back in the sixth and seventh seasons! Overall, a great dvd set!
Great DVD for the whole family . The best thing is they were teaching you good family values . My first child just loved watching this every week . I did too when I had time to watch to watch these shows with him . Good value , and Great memories !
