Unsurprisingly, it's called 'The Dukes of Hazzard' in Britain and Ireland.
In France it's called 'Shérif Fais Moi Peur', which means something like 'Sheriff, Scare Me' (Google Translate automatically translates it as 'Dukes of Hazzard').
The theme is the same tune, but with French words (and no Waylon):
Maybe i1976 can back me up on this, but in Italy it appears to be called simply 'Hazzard':
The theme tune is completely different, but quite catchy. It's called 'La Ballata di Bo e Luke' ('The Ballad of Bo and Luke'):

On a day when a lot of people are enjoying festive celebrations, there's another annual event taking place - the birthday of our Supreme Superior Commander aka. MeadowMufn. Happy birthday Mufn.

I wrote a fanfic once where the Duke boys and Cooter, as a prank, painted Rosco's patrol car hot pink...
Did you imagine it something like this?:
The General Lee, chopped like a convertible, painted white with steer horns on the hood...Khee Khee! Good one MaryAnne.I'd like to see Boss's Cadillac painted like the General Lee.
Let's hope that this satisfies MaryAnne and Roger. I left the rollbar on the Charger for safety reasons. I gave the Caddy a tan interior.
How about erm...the remains of the GL from the second train jump at Oxnard on the back of a flatbed?I may have let you down. This is definitely the remains of the GL from a train jump at Oxnard, but I'm not sure if it's the second one

I'd also like to get hold of a copy as I've never seen the cartoon series. Warner Brothers' website very helpfully only ships to US destinations. I think that I have seen copies on ebay in the US, but there's none there at the moment. I did find it on amazon.co.uk - just remember that it's encoded as region 1.

I wrote a fanfic once where the Duke boys and Cooter, as a prank, painted Rosco's patrol car hot pink... I shoulda gone with this paint scheme. Khee!
It could easily be done.
Another flashback to that fanfic....The General Lee, chopped like a convertible, painted white with steer horns on the hood...
What say you, Hoss?
A request from the HNet deputy is hard to ignore - watch this space.
Dang it, I was hoping you could do a Caddie monster truck styled like Double Zero with a jet engine in the trunk,and a helipad on the hood
That's not a silly request ... that's a challenge
. I had to change the Caddy to a Coupe DeVille (the convertible top just wouldn't support a helicopter!). I know you wanted the helipad on the hood, but that's just daft. If you think that the helipad looks small, I based the size on the one Top Gear used when they landed
(skip to 4:57).

Here's a couple of shots of the General immediately after it lands. It gets quite bent, especially at the rear. The second picture shows that it even loses the front pushbar when it bounces.
-
Oh I've an idea. A charger,styled as a police car,with a crane arm from Cooter's tow truck in the trunk!
As Monty Python would say, "Stop! This is getting too silly!".
Ford had the Ranchero, Chevy had the El Camino, and I think I've just invented the Dodge Chargero
. From now on I'll be ignoring all but sensible requests, so don't go asking for Uncle Jesse's pickup as a convertible race car, or Boss's Caddy as an off-roader .

Hoss what about a General Lee based on Dixie? Or a Dixie charger?
Y'all have some strange requests, but here you go:

And now a change of pace - a dance track from Finland:

And the logo The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning?
You can make the new logo?
The logo for the 2005 movie added a 'Z' to the swoosh under the text. Although a colored logo appeared on the DVD and posters, some of the online publicity pictures had either the General or one of the cast members in front of a plain gray logo like this:
'The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning' movie used the color logo with a license plate jammed into it. I didn't do this one from scratch, I just remade the lower left corner that was obscured by a head, masked out the original background, and added the cloud background.

Wow! It's a little bit weird....but....Wow!
Thanks Hoss. Now, can you do Rosco's patrol car painted like the General Lee?
I think the eggnog at the Christmas party has got to Roger with these strange requests
. Anyway, I'm happy to oblige.

I'm in an '80s mood today
.What a coincidence - this is from 1981, and it's my post #1981.

Don't even ask!. Roger asked how Cooter's truck would look if it were painted like General Lee. I'm guessing it would be something like this:

I'm not sure of the 2nd answer, so I'll go with:
Buster Moon
Cowlick Creek
Cedar City

Sorry Hoss but have to get back to some good music..
Aw Capt., you're just mad because you couldn't think of any songs with meat pies, saveloys or trotters in the title
. Maybe this'll be more to your liking. -
I'm surprised they never wrote an episode where Rosco and Boss swindled the Dukes out of the General Lee and transformed it into a Hazzard County patrol car. How much trouble would it be for you to make a vehicle like that?
How's this?. I had all the decals and a version of the car in white, so it was quite easy putting them together.

To be totally honest that is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! I love that pink.....whats the hex value?
There's a range of values because I used fountain (graduated) fills. The middle of the door is around #F2428C.

Ben Jones was an alcoholic when he was in his teens and early 20's,and he turned his life around and stopped drinking a few years before Dukes,as a result he asked producers to only give Cooter coffee and sodas.
Ben actually went to audition for Dukes in September 1978, exactly a year after he nearly died from alcohol abuse. Even though the alcohol in Dukes wasn't real, I'm sure those early scenes can't have been easy for him.

I always noticed Cooter either drank milk, coffee or what looks to be soda. He never (or rarely) had a beer.
Cooter gets served a beer in 'Luke's Love Story'. He even picks it up, but we never see him drink it:

Even though Orange is #1 in my book I have always thought pink General Lees were cool.......girl thang I guess.
The 1970 Dodge Charger was actually available in the factory High Impact Paint (HIP) color 'Panther Pink'. I have a 1:18 model of a Plymouth Cuda in the same color (Plymouth called it 'Moulin Rouge'), and I have to say that I quite like it. Whether I'd buy a car in that color is another matter though
. The 1970 Charger would have looked something like this:
-
Amazing job Hoss!! Have you ever thought of doing a pink General like Frankie said she would in Luke's Love Story?
Maybe it would look something like this. I've taken styling cues from Lucifer for the race number and 'General Lee' text.

Welcome to HNet Sean. It sounds like your Dukes experiences are similar to mine (there's only a year between our ages). Although I am currently living in Ireland, I was born and raised in the UK - I'm originally from the south-west myself.

I nearly forgot Germany where it's called 'Ein Duke Kommt Selten Allein', literally 'A Duke Rarely Comes Alone' (again, Google just translates it as 'Dukes of Hazzard'). I can't find a German intro/theme tune, so I'm guessing they use the one with Waylon.
