.......and the ZERO one looks as good as ever!

Even after all these YEARS The Dukes Of Hazzard still holds up.

I was 14 when it started and it still brings back memories and I keep one DVD in my machine and fall asleep to it every night. It's the comfort of going to a world I love and remember, whether I literally lived there or not!

I watched The Dukes Of Hazzard from the beginning.  I was 9 years old when it first aired.  I was so happy that the show did well in the ratings and was on for a few years.

inebriated!    ( you just know Hobie would come up with this one!)

What a hysterical day that was.....and historical. Thanks so much for posting these. It' s so good to have PJ back here in Hazzard County. It sure doesn't seem like 40 years whenever I put a DVD in and hit play. 

I knew this anniversary was coming up, but had a busy weekend and forgot. I could've sworn I'd posted the listing below already on HNet, but couldn't find it. It's from British TV guide the Radio Times, and shows details of the debut of 'One Armed Bandits' (NB. I've rearranged the original layout to make it more screen-friendly).
 
I've just noticed that they misspelled Gy's names as Guy near the bottom.

Hi folks,
My first time on the forum in a LONG time (in fact, I've just spent two hours trying to remember which email I used so I could access my old account).
One of my goals is to post MUCH more regularly this year, but for now... It's a key date for U.K. fans such as myself... as Sat 3rd March 1979 marked the first time 'The Dukes of Hazzard' was ever broadcast in the United Kingdom!

My all-time favourite TV series, that shaped myself, my interests and my character in so many ways. Literally my first memories in life are sitting on my father's knee watching the series (he watched it religiously every week, on the excuse that "he (meaning me) likes it")!
BBC1 showed the first four episodes in a Saturday 9 p.m. slot, before a brief break and resuming a month or so later with episode 5, "High Octane" on Mondays at 7:20 p.m. (a year or two later it would move again to it's early Saturday evening slot where the series would enjoy it's highest U.K. viewing figures). Although I'm pretty certain I would have been tucked up in bed for those first four episode (I would have been 1 year old at the time), I'm pretty certain that by some of those earliest Monday broadcasts I would have been sat on my Dad's knee watching it all.

Last year I pieced together the original U.K. broadcast history and order for the series (I might share it on the forum at some point actually), just to see what was shown in what order... and to try and piece together my very earliest memories; it was actually quite therapeutic.

For those of us that were there originally (even us who can barely remember it), we were very lucky. Will never see the likes of such a TV series again.

March 3rd. There's a thread about the 40th anniversary here.

I liked Eddie Murphy's BUHWEET! LOL! remember that one?

My wife and I watched One Armed Bandits this evening.  It's my favorite episode.

45 years ago today The Dukes Of Hazzard premiered on CBS.  Happy anniversary to the best show!

Dang it...I didn't even think of watching it. That would have been a great idea. Glad you were able to enjoy, Boss.

Thank you, Roger, for your time and service for our country. You are amazing. Uncle Jesse would be very proud of you.

Awesome. Thanks for the reminder Boss. I'm not sure which episode I saw first but I missed the opener. Everybody was talking about how good it was. I was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina going to USMC truck driving school and watched it in the rec room. Loved it right away. Had no idea 45 years later it would be such a big part of my life. No other TV show ever had this impact on me. In fact, nothing has except God, family friends and that sort of thing.
