I saw most of if not all the series when it first appeared on tv -late 70's,early 80's. My first viewing and appeal of the show appears to have changed since then. I still love the car, General Jackson, and the spirit of the Duke boys, but the story lines are not very interesting or deep. Actually besides the speeding car and jumps it makes, the rest of the show does not hold my attention. I am a huge fan of vintage shows like Andy Griffith, Matlock, Gomer Pyle, Leave it to Beaver, etc, but this series does not compare. I still enjoy some of the series but probably would rate 3 stars out of 5. John

Like so many others of my generation, I grew up watching this show, and the locations almost feel like home to me, the cast like family. The people, the places all became so embedded in my psyche, along with the endless, exuberant car chases, and the authentic soundtrack. The opening credits, with that unmistakable song, still give me a warm nostalgic glow to this day. Daisy Duke became the standard by which all women in my life would come to be measured, and the Bo and Luke were my role models. Sorrell Booke and James Best, both highly trained, experienced character actors, are often accused of playing roles that were beneath their considerable talents, but really their portrayals of Boss Hogg and Rosco P. Coltrane are amongst the most instantly recognisable and enduring creations to have ever lit up a TV screen. And the General Lee.... the most famous car in the history of TV, again, like Boss and Roscoe, and Daisy and all the Dukes, has become an icon. The Dukes of Hazzard was the second-most-popular TV show in America in its time, only narrowly beaten by Dallas, and, I ask you, which has survived the passage of time with dignity and integrity intact? YeeeeeHaaaaahhh !!! ..........Read full review
To be honest I purchased this DVD on eBay because it was cheap! However, I am glad that I did buy it. If you were into the original TV series this is the DVD box set to buy. Not only does it obviously start from the beginning of the series, but the bonus features are cool too. For instance, the commentary with Catherine Bach and John Schneider on the first episode was quite interesting. There were some points of trivia right from the people that were involved with it from the beginning that I had not heard before. Personally I feel that this is an entertaining DVD set, but I probably would not pay full price for it - unless Daisy or the General Lee came with it as a bonus. ;-)
Brings back memories of my childhood. Sure, some of the story lines are kinda corny, but who cares?! A show like this wouldn't even be considered nowadays, and I'm glad to let my own children watch this because I know it's a good family show.

I really enjoy it, and my family is also. The episodes are well-done, and cut the commercials. I can watch one or two episodes per night.
