Don't get me started on Ben Jones. I love Cooter. He's a Good ol' Boy but Ben Jones is a Communist. ( I have his book). 

Yes, I've read about his political beliefs and while I don't agree with it (it goes against what our country stands for), I enjoy his character on the show.

 

John Schneider has a much better sense of reality and he's not a politician.

 

 

Ah, end of off-topic.

I love his General Lee song. I wish Charlie Daniels would have made it on the show. Congratulations on watching the whole series. Do you think you will do it again? 

Yeah, just not Season 7.

 

The HD version removed the episode preview and instead goes straight to the opening, plus they cropped it to 16:9, but if that doesn't bother you then it's an excellent release. I've seen a few episodes and really enjoyed it.

 

[The Number *One* guest who should've sang in the show, but never did.]

And that's Mr. Johnny Cash.

I never looked up if he was in any as I didn't want to spoil myself, but it was disappointing that I had reached the end [of the series] and he never showed up.

But hey, he made a song about the General Lee.

 

It sure feels like we were cheated out.

[Best Reunion Movie Balladeer Don Williams(1997) or Mac Davis(2000)]

Well, I seen them yesterday and I gotta say it was disappointing and sad, at the same time.

 

Uncle Jesse sort of felt lost and alone and it just didn't feel rigjt, Roscoe should've retired years ago, and Coy, Vance and Hughie Hogg weren't even included for these reunion flicks.

 

But the one I missed the most? Boss.

 

However, I did enjoy Toby Keith's performance and he's probably glad to be part of it.

[The Series Final Episode...]

I finally watched it today and it left me rather unsatisfied, it felt more like "just another episode" than the series final episode. It didn't seem like they cared much for it, like they just wanted to be done with it?

 

That being said, it's still a good season and I enjoyed seeing Hughie Hogg again on this final/canceled season.

[The 45min Western episode is simply one of the best of the series!]

This season seven episode condensed what could have been a 1h45m movie to simply 45mins with the Dukes and it was awesome!

 

Anyone who's never seen the show, but loves or enjoys Westerns can watch this and feel right at home.

 

Plus, it was pretty dang cool to see John Schneider dressed as a cowboy and doing a Western.

There's a Knight Rider game for the PS2? I know of a PC version put out in the 2000's that turned out to be a flop due to compatibility issues. I had one for the original Nintendo in the 80's which was fun.

There was although only released in the PAL region (Europe/Australia).

 

 

If you use a PS2 Memory Card with FMCB then you can play any game via USB/HDD, regardless of region.

 

Also, there was a second Knight Rider game, but that felt more like an "add-on."

I've never played any of them but I bet they are fun. The only systems we have are Wii and that small classic original Nintendo that came out 3 or 4 years ago. I doubt Wii has Dukes.

Unfortunately, there's no Dukes games for it on Wii or GameCube (backwards compatible with Wii).

 

If you'd want to try a Dukes game without looking too outdated, I'd recommend a PS2 or Xbox. Older Dukes games like on PS1 might turn off folks because of how graphically old it looks.

 

I plan on playing the PS2 game even though it's probably nothing great. For example, Knight Rider didn't have any solid games either, but the one on PS2 is still a lot of fun.

[Your favorite Dukes game?]

There have been various on PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox, handhelds and such, but if you've played any which would you recommend?

 

We'll probably never see a new Dukes game or the series released on Blu-ray because folks nowadays get all offended over the flag that's on top of the General Lee. And if he doesn't have it, he ain't General Lee!

[The Season 5 "Problem"]

For those that disliked Coy and Vance, they could look at Season 5 as the shortest one with the boys.

 

But for any newcomers, I'd suggest watching one episode than skipping right to episode 19.

[The Season 5 "Problem"]

I finished Season 5, "Part 1" and it made me kinda sad they had to go because they were such a great addition to the series.

 

That being said, I do prefer Bo and Duke, obviously.

Does anyone know the languages of different countries on the logos The Dukes of Hazzard?

For example:

1 - USA - The Dukes of Hazzard

2 - Portugal - Os Três Duques

3 - Spain - Los Dukes de Hazzard

I knew them Portuguese had a DVD release of the series, but never did I know there was in Spanish, too.

Here are the DVD covers of the Spanish and Portuguese releases:

Thanks for these covers. Not much point hunting it down unless for dubs and subs, I suppose.

 

The best DVD release remains the American. Correct resolution, no ghosting and accurate framerate.

 

Let's hope they'll release the series on Blu-ray, Amazon has the show in HD, but cropped to 16:9 so you can't see detail you'd see on 4:3. For that reason, I prefer the DVDs over the HD version.

And also Brazil.

4 - Brazil - Os Gatões

5 - Croatian - DUKEOVI IZ HAZZARDA

6 - Hungarian - Hazárd Megye Lordjai

There's more...

The Brazilian title made it sound like some sort of a porn.

[The Season 5 "Problem"]

Hi all.

 

Normally, a cast replacement is a bad idea, but the boys they got temporarily to switch for Bo and Luke were great. They just weren't Bo and Luke, that's all.

 

Nowadays, if a network makes a cast replacement it's very likely to ruin the show/movie and/or the characters.

 

Also, Byron Cherry  made me remember Terence Hill with that blonde hair of his and his adorable smile.

[Cancel Culture is coming for the Dukes...]

Unfortunately IT already came way back when Dylan Roof went on that killing spree in that SC church in 2015.

Roof had a Rebel Flag, but he wasn't a Dukes' fan, right?

What other folks are saying is that people and even certain media outlets will target the Dukes of Hazzard until it gets banned like other products out there have. You've heard about the Dr. Seuss books, correct? Six of them have been deemed "racist" and apparently, even if someone tries to sell on eBay they'll be removed (I haven't checked though I wouldn't be surprised).

Those who want to cancel everything will eventually be canceled themselves. People around the world are losing freedom and free speech, yet they can't see it.

Welcome to HNet, Philip. I'm sure you're aware of the temporary cast changes you can expect in season 5, but you've still got some great episodes to come.

Hi.

I actually wasn't though I hope it'll be watchable.

[The Best Quality DVD Release of the Series?]

Hello.

I've been after a DVD set of the show, but I'd like to know if any of y'all have made picture quality comparisons between all the ones available?

Far as I know, there's the "Original Set" with the Confederate Flag, and then two repackaged releases (Standard DVD cases and a newer with two fat cases containing all discs), released in the U.S. Now, in the U.K., there were the individual DVD seasons and a complete boxset (repackage of the individual seasons).

There might be more in the world, although the best ones are likely the U.S. due to being in NTSC format and running at the correct framerate.

P.S. Yes, Amazon does have the series beautifully remastered in HD, but there's a problem: The show has been cropped to 16:9 aspect ratio and the intended aspect ratio is 4:3 AR.

Thanks.

[Hello.]

Hi, all.

I'm a newish Dukes of Hazzard fan as I first watched random episodes of the show on TV a few years ago and now I'm watching them in their respective order, so far I'm on Season 4 and really enjoying it.

That said, I'm glad there's this community as the show has been deemed "racist" by the media and so many would rather avoid talking about it even though the boys, Hogg and everyone were never offensive/racist (Hogg and Rosco were corrupt and slimy, but that's their thing).

Bye.
