Following the phenomenal success of Season One, the General Lee is gassed up, revving and ready to go with Bo Duke at the wheel and Cousin Luke riding shotgun. Get ready for more hysterical antics as the good ol’ boys continue the feudin’, schemin’, car chasin’ fun, as The Dukes of Hazzard: The Complete Second Season arrives on DVD. The 4-disc collection of the action packed and hilarious TV series includes over 18 hours from 23 episodes, in addition to never-before-seen special features.
The Dukes of Hazzard follows the adventures of the Duke boys, cousins Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke (Tom Wopat), and their curvaceous cousin Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach), as they cavort around the small town of Hazzard County in the hills of Georgia. The Dukes’ Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle), formerly the best moonshine runner in Hazzard County, makes a deal with the government to stop the family trade in exchange for keeping his kinfolk out of jail.
Nevertheless, the Dukes have a knack for getting into trouble, which usually involves run-ins with the crooked county boss, Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and the town sheriff, Sheriff Rosco P.
Coltrane (James Best). With crazy car chases and wrecks, blundering sheriffs and money-hungry politicians, Hazzard County quickly became the wildest and wackiest destination on television.
The Dukes of Hazzard debuted in January of 1979 and was an instant success. A staple of CBS’s Friday night lineup, the show was a Top 20 CBS series for six of its seven seasons on air. Dukes held the #1 spot in its time period across those six seasons, making it one of the most popular television series of all time. The last episode aired in 1985, but The Dukes of Hazzard fan support is still strong, with hundreds of websites and products devoted to the legendary series. The show subsequently aired in syndication, recently on The Nashville Network (now Spike TV). In addition, the first season, now available from Warner Home Video, continues to be one of the best selling classic TV series on DVD!
