Philip_Duke Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) 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.

Spike Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 I don't know which one is the best but I seen a new box set at Walmart this morning. Redesigned outer cardboard box with two more boxes containing the discs. Had Bo, Daisy and Luke on the front from original Season 3 DVD release photos. The General Lee was photoshopped behind them but barely visible. I guess if that's what it takes to keep the series for sale in stores so new generations can enjoy it then so be it.

RogerDuke Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) I've only had one set. Waiting for each season to come out was as exciting as late Friday afternoon and waiting until 8:00 from 1979-1985. One of the secrets to happiness is having something to look forward to.

Spike Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 The new box set is on sale for the cheapest price ever $49.99, that's just 35cents an episode. it's part of the Amazon Prime day sale and it ends in 8 hours or whenever it sells out https://www.amazon.com/Dukes-Hazzard-Complete-Repackaged-DVD/dp/B08DC69DDK?ref=deals_primeday_deals-grid_slot-6_1329_mw_dcell_img_96_d5cdd67c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie Hartkins Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I wonder if these are the originals, with original art work or if they're " Sanitized", so as to be politically correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the new box set that only takes up about 3 of the original Season release DVD sets on a shelf, and yes 'sanitized' with no confederate flag artwork.
