Some facts about the Dukes of Hazzard
The Dukes of Hazzard was a summer trial replacement show aired on CBS in
1979. With the pilot episode "One Arm Bandits" the show was such a success
that instantly many more episodes were made. The show lasted from 1979
to 1985. The first 5 episodes were filmed in Covington Georgia and soon
moved to Burbank California. The star of the show the General
Lee was a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. It had the huge rebel flag on the
roof as well as the GENERAL LEE and the 01 on the door. The doors were
welded shut making the duke boys get in through the windows. There was
approx. 340 Dodge Chargers used during the whole series. At one time there
was a shortage of General Lee's so Warner Brothers put flyers on the windshields
of cars in shopping centers asking if people wanted to sell there Dodge
Chargers. Daisy's Jeep Dixie was the replacement for here yellow 1971 road
runner. Dixie was a 1980 CJ-7 jeep. Daisy was given Dixie by a very wealthy
business man after Bo and Luke drove here road runner off of a cliff. The
show was going great until about 1983 Bo and Luke went on strike. This
is why (sorry for saying these 2 words) Coy and Vance were used as Bo and
Luke's terrible replacements. Bo and Luke were on strike because they thought
that they were not getting a fair share of the 180 million dollars made
off of the memorabilia. Also they said that the scripts were to "childish".
Soon after the ratings dropped from around 1st to about 30th Warner Brothers
realized that viewers didn't watch the Dukes of Hazzard just for the General
Lee, as neat as it was. So Warner Brothers had to strike a deal with Bo
and Luke. They finally made a deal and Bo and Luke were back tearing up
the ground with the General Lee were they belonged. The show eventually
started to drop in the ratings so it was canceled. For many of us that
was one of the worst times of out lives. :) Thankfully on April 25th "Reunion
in Hazzard" will air and Warner Brothers will reissue allot of Dukes toys.

The Dukes of Hazzard Theme Song
Just two good old boys, never meanin' no harm...
Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born.
Straightenin' the curves, flattenin' the hills...
Someday the mountain might get 'em but the law never will.
Makin' their way, the only way they know how...
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Just two good ol' boys, wouldn't change if they could,
Fightin' the system like two modern-day Robin Hoods...
