The Dukes of Hazzard - Season Two

I'm more than a little proud that I've ever watched an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard.

I grew up in the South. It was shows like Dukes and Gomer Pyle that led the nation to believe that all folks down South are lame brained and red necked, so when I screened The Dukes of Hazzard Season Two I no idea what to expect. (I say this even though one of my workmates in 1980 was a frequent extra on the show - but all he ever talked about was how massive John Schneider's package was!)

Season two (believe it or not, the series ran for 7 seasons) was the year Dukes of Hazzard went from being semi-dramatic to complete farce. If you were a fan of the show originally, I suspect this is the collection of episodes you're looking for.

The one interesting bonus is the original screen test for John Schneider and Tom Wopat but there's also a documentary covering the show's 25th anniversary festival in Tennesse. Personally, I'd rather see something on Sorrell Brooke (Sheriff Coltrane) and Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse) the true stars of the show, in my estimation.

If you're concerned about a lack of extras, don't get you're Daisy Dukes in a bunch - you can order the whole second season (all 23 episodes) for a mere $30 through Amazon.com and there's no tax and no shipping charge.

The Dukes of Hazzard - The Complete Seventh Season
Good ol' boys can now complete your Dukes of Hazzard collection with one of the most memorable seasons of all for the Duke boys. Their last!
It's amazing that this series aired for 7 years - actually this season was cut short with only 17 episodes filmed (which come here on 6 discs) but it's family entertainment that continues to excite fans twenty years later.
As in the previous year, the 1984-85 season employed models for some of the more spectacular jumps the General Lee made - stuntmen had worn out dozens of Dodge Chargers, they were littering the Universal lot.
Contained in this collection are standout episodes like "Enos and Daisy's Wedding," "Cale Yarborough Comes to Hazzard," "The Dukes in Hollywood," a guest appearance by Waylon Jennings (composer and performer of the theme song) and the exalted origin of the General Lee - smartest car this side of KITT but much better looking. And, of course, anything with Denver Pyle can't be all bad.
Packaging is the same as previously released sets - the Warner Bros. standard - a very pleasing and attractive one piece fold-out presentation that I prefer over most others.
Extras include a tribute to Waylon Jennings and behind-the-scenes-look at the making of a new music video featuring John Schneider, Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach. Can the Dukes of Hazzard cartoon series and TV movies be far behind?
It's new - and makes a great gift for the Dukes' fan in your life. You know, like your crazy aunt?
