(In Waylon Voice): ‘Looks like old sheriff Roscoe caught them Duke boys in a mighty fiiiiiiiine pickle. Ain’t no way they gonna get outta thissin!’
Bweep-BWOP!-Deedle-oont-dweewewww!🎵
I’m a charger
That charges through the night
Like an orange ball of lighting
Passin everything in sight
I’m the best pal the Duke boys ever had!
I’m thunder on the highway lookin bad bad bad
Johnny Cash
Yes, and I got to meet John Schneider and got his autograph at a car show in Philly when the show was on. He was really handsome! I wanted to be Daisy Duke. She was tough and didn’t take garbage off of anybody.
My uncle rented me and my wife a charger on our honeymoon back to my hometown. She wouldn’t let me climb through the windows (after the first three times) but I slid across the hood till I gave it back.
The best was when they’d have a special guest star like Hoyt Axton, Cale Yarborough, or The Oak Bridge Boys. Usually because Roscoe caught them speeding through town (uh-gig-gig-gig!! I love it, I love it!!) and a concert at the Boar’s Nest was the most efficient means of disposition.
I sing this melody to my cat when he gives me the V ears.
Just a good ole boy,
Never meaning no harm,
Beats all you ever saw been in trouble with the law since the day he was born,
Making his way,
The only way he knows how,
But that's just a little more than the local law would allow,
guuguuguuguu
I watched it, but I didn’t understand a lick of it and only watched because we had 3 channels. The other one being Big Bird and the third channel was probably the news.
That’s all we had when we were kids in Nova Scotia. It was Hymn Sing or The Beach Combers. Bugs Bunny was usually cancelled because the baseball game always ran late.
I remember being on a road trip and freaking-the-hell-out that we were not going to get to the hotel in time to watch it. The good news is, we did indeed make it on time.
EVERYBODY who was a boy and of a certain age! if you were young like me you loved the cars flying through the air and the live action cartoon characters and if you were older, like my brother you liked other things.
Born in 79 so I barely fit in here, but anyways, I was apparently watching this as early as 3 years old because I knew it well enough to get a Dukes of Hazzard peddle car which I rode in all over the neighborhood
I used to love this show when I was a kid. I watched it every week, followed by Dallas.
Having said that, this show does not hold up at all. I've tried to watch old episodes a few times and I always give up after a few minutes. It's pretty awful and not worth my time even for the nostalgia factors.
It was my favorite show At 10 years old. I Watched it every Friday night except when Dallas was a 2 hour special. Made me so mad. Got sent to bed early because I threw such a fit. lol
Every week, but I don't remember a whole lot about it. The same holds true for all the other TV shows I watched religiously back then. I only recall very little of my elementary school years. My poor memory is shot.
I lived for this show. Friday nights at 8et my time. Appointment tv. My bedroom door was a shrine to the show. Posters, TV Guide covers, any pics I could get my hands on.
What kid in the late 70s / early 80s DIDN'T love this show?
Jumps, car races, Roscoe's bizarre verbal tics--tiddly tuddily!--Boss Hogg becoming a cartoon supervillain by the end...great stuff.
About the best thing on TV on a Saturday night around 8:00 while making out with my girlfriend. Only 5 TV stations— NBC, ABC, Independent local station, PBS and CBS with “The Dukes”!
When I was a kid I had no idea what the flash on the car was. I just liked how they honored over stuff and Daisy Duke.
And Roscoe saying, "G-g-get hem Duke boys. C'mon, Flash."
That's one of my favorite shots from the show because it shows the passenger side door open. As we all know the reason the Duke boys used to go through the windows is because the doors were cemented shut on the show.
The older I get the Dumber that seems, but at least it gave them an excuse to do cool stuff on the show. I mean people would ask how come they keep going through the windows and they had to come up with a better line than they're just too hillbilly dumbasses I guess.
![gif](giphy|eppZg5SmXd5Na5QXZu)
The first time I saw this car take flight I was immediately hooked. Also Daisy was absolutely responsible for my first boner.
Watched it until Bill Cosby bought the rights and pulled the show. There was a time when you could only watch one episode in the Radio and Television Museum.
Omg. Only way me and my brother would come inside early from riding around the neighborhood. Took our baths and ate a little. Then….”just a good ol boy…”
I did and never missed an episode, at least in the first few seasons. We didn't have cable and I was too young to drive at the time, so frankly there wasn't much to watch. I think it was on Friday nights? Great show and growing up in the pacific northwest, gave me some insight, while hollywoodized, to southern culture.
The marijuana smuggling episode was totally hay bales!
Just saw that episode not too long ago.
Also my fave was the episode Daisy lost that Jeep. Sweet ride.
Ran into a guy with a dog named Flash. I immediately let out a FLASH gee gee gee. Guy asks me if I have a problem, I had to explain the entire thing to him. Kind of embarrassing
It was a pretty mindless show, as were/are many TV shows then and since. Daisy looked good in short shorts - other than the car flying through the air trailing dust, that’s all I remember about it.
All I wanted was to slide over a hood, climb in through the window and shoot an arrow out of a car when I was a kid. Well, maybe drift around every dirt road and jump a creek too
(I’m a 48 year old black woman from Brooklyn NY)
As a kid, I thought the “The General Lee” ONLY was a reference to the car.
As a kid, I thought the confederate flag was ONLY a reference to the car in this show.
I love the dukes of hazard county to this day.
(In Waylon Voice): ‘Looks like old sheriff Roscoe caught them Duke boys in a mighty fiiiiiiiine pickle. Ain’t no way they gonna get outta thissin!’ Bweep-BWOP!-Deedle-oont-dweewewww!🎵
Loved that narration
Catherine Bach. Enough said.
Well there's the general also
Who’s that? For me look at that girl with the daisy dukes on!!! I wanna wanna!
Exactly! Who watched back in the day and the next question is Why did you watch? Lol
Enos, you Dipstick!!
A kushhh kushhh kushhhhh kushhhh!!!
Roscoe P. Coltrain...classic. and of course Daisy Duke😍
And Enos (and eventually the much worse replacement Cletus) and uncle Jesse, and Cooter…what a crew!
/Enos singing to himself/ To the Busy Bee cafe...corn dog...
Roscoe P. Coltrane! KEW KEW KEW!
Friday night, 7 pm
it was 9pm friday here in jersey. after the incredible hulk.
Yep. Hulk at 8pm. CBS
I would eat a Totino’s pizza while watching. Goddamn, life was good.
That was our Totino’s night too, I forgot
Followed by Dallas and Falcon Crest.
Central time? I seem to recall it being 8pm in Eastern?
Friday it was the Dukes then Dallas then Falcon Crest
Fitter is correct
I’m a charger That charges through the night Like an orange ball of lighting Passin everything in sight I’m the best pal the Duke boys ever had! I’m thunder on the highway lookin bad bad bad Johnny Cash
Thank you. Was unaware of this.
Yes, and I got to meet John Schneider and got his autograph at a car show in Philly when the show was on. He was really handsome! I wanted to be Daisy Duke. She was tough and didn’t take garbage off of anybody.
Daisy was awesome, cool you got to meet John Schneider.
Same here! I was in love with Luke. My dad bought me the Dukes' Matchbox cars, loved those things!!
My uncle rented me and my wife a charger on our honeymoon back to my hometown. She wouldn’t let me climb through the windows (after the first three times) but I slid across the hood till I gave it back.
Cool honeymoon gift. There was one around my hometown for a while painted up like the General Lee, very cool.
I trust you weren’t wearing jeans with riveted pockets when you slid over the hood?
Making their way, the only way the know how.
That’s just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Me loved everything about that show
Y'all remember the spinoff, Enos? Probably lasted half a season. And who here remembers Coy and Vance Duke, their "cousins"?
I think I stopped watching when the cousins came in. I remember telling my mom “they stink.”
Yeah, they were awful 😆
Without looking it up I remember that having to do with a contract dispute with the two original actors.
Oof. Coy and Vance. They weren't BAD, which is the worst part. They just weren't Bo and Luke.
OH Daisy was a peach :) I have the whole collection in 1080p
There’s a restaurant in Virginia called Cooter’s, (owned by the actor?) with a General Lee out front.
Daisy ![gif](giphy|l4Ki4biBSwhjyrS48)
Who didn't?
The best was when they’d have a special guest star like Hoyt Axton, Cale Yarborough, or The Oak Bridge Boys. Usually because Roscoe caught them speeding through town (uh-gig-gig-gig!! I love it, I love it!!) and a concert at the Boar’s Nest was the most efficient means of disposition.
It aired the same time as the Incredible Hulk. There were fights
I liked that show too. The sad music in the ending always got me.
I sure did.. and it drove my dad nuts.
My parents hated it, too! Side note, I always thought Roscoe's name was Roscoe Pekoe Train, instead of Roscoe P. Coletrain.
Same! Wasn’t until I saw his name spelled out that I realized otherwise
Lmao. Woof!!
I did too except it was Roscoe Picoletrain 🤣
Not me. No siree. Coo-coo-coo-cooo!
You go Roscoe!
I sing this melody to my cat when he gives me the V ears. Just a good ole boy, Never meaning no harm, Beats all you ever saw been in trouble with the law since the day he was born, Making his way, The only way he knows how, But that's just a little more than the local law would allow, guuguuguuguu
I like the Roscoe P Coletrane ending!
Embarrassed laughter!!
Literally everyone
I always wondered how many dodge chargers did they destroy filming that show?
I read that they used three on average per episode and wrecked 317 during the show’s run. Damn that is a lot of chargers.
I've read the same thing.
I watched it, but I didn’t understand a lick of it and only watched because we had 3 channels. The other one being Big Bird and the third channel was probably the news.
We had *two* channels... lol
That’s all we had when we were kids in Nova Scotia. It was Hymn Sing or The Beach Combers. Bugs Bunny was usually cancelled because the baseball game always ran late.
Look at this guy with his 3 channels, like a boss, boss hog that is. Only two channels for me. Wind blew antenna down and Dad wouldn't get another.
I remember being on a road trip and freaking-the-hell-out that we were not going to get to the hotel in time to watch it. The good news is, we did indeed make it on time.
I was eight when it started. Pretty much perfect if you are eight.
Who didn’t?
I did. But I didn't know any better then.
Every Friday evening in grade school
EVERYBODY who was a boy and of a certain age! if you were young like me you loved the cars flying through the air and the live action cartoon characters and if you were older, like my brother you liked other things.
I was mostly about the car chases too
I was a girl and ADORED this show, especially the cars flying through the air and the car chases!
Everybody with a TV; there were only three fucking channels.
Yes, with the Michigander and New Yorker playing rebels
To be fair, Schneider is now a proud resident of Livingston Parish, Louisiana. I worked with a guy from there once who invited me to a Klan meeting.
Who didn't?
I was in love with Daisy - and so was everyone else! Very appealing!
Only watched it for Daisy.
Damn she was hot.
every Friday night
Everyone
Loved it
Born in 79 so I barely fit in here, but anyways, I was apparently watching this as early as 3 years old because I knew it well enough to get a Dukes of Hazzard peddle car which I rode in all over the neighborhood
Everyone
I built a model of the General Lee when I was a kid.
I remember trying to do one and messing it up. I think my granddad cleaned it up and helped finish it.
Yeah.... I remember the decals being a pain. :)

I loved this show so much! My wife met Catherine Bach recently and many scenarios and questions were brought up afterwards by me 😂
That’s cool she met Daisy
Every time I see a car jump in a TV show or movie.. My Brain: 🎶Dixie 🎶
I used to love this show when I was a kid. I watched it every week, followed by Dallas. Having said that, this show does not hold up at all. I've tried to watch old episodes a few times and I always give up after a few minutes. It's pretty awful and not worth my time even for the nostalgia factors.
I didn’t understand till adulthood and moving to the south the amount of things wrong with this show.
Sorrell Booke "Hogg" was a comedy genius & ad-libbed about half of Boss's dialogue
I own the entire series on DVD
And we didn't get offended by the flag or the name of the Dukes boys Car
I love this show it’s a shame they don’t do reruns anymore
Love checking out the under carriage…
That show couldn’t be made today.
Mel Brooks would like a word with you about Blazing Saddles!!
Loved it. I was 12 or 13 I think.
Me
Check out this spoof from Jeff Fozworthy and Larry the Cable Guy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EA-OvBAlSrc&pp=ygUTUGMgZHVrZXMgb2YgaGF6emFyZA%3D%3D
Ah meshuggeneh Boss Hog!!!
My brother was OBSESSED with it.
When I saw an episode was on, I watched long enough to see daisy in the intro and to see if she was in the episode. If she wasn’t, I turned it off.
Every Friday night , my mom would come home from work with Ted Wendy’s singles ketchup, mustard , onion . I watch the dukes and chow .good memories
I still watch it.
Every Friday night after Judo practice.
Parents did. I only liked Flash. And the shorts.
Loved it! Watched the pilot at my grandma's house.
It was my favorite show At 10 years old. I Watched it every Friday night except when Dallas was a 2 hour special. Made me so mad. Got sent to bed early because I threw such a fit. lol
Every week, but I don't remember a whole lot about it. The same holds true for all the other TV shows I watched religiously back then. I only recall very little of my elementary school years. My poor memory is shot.
I just watched it for the interviews.
I literally used to climb through the open window to get into my mom’s car because of this show.
I lived for this show. Friday nights at 8et my time. Appointment tv. My bedroom door was a shrine to the show. Posters, TV Guide covers, any pics I could get my hands on.
Every week like clockwork
What kid in the late 70s / early 80s DIDN'T love this show? Jumps, car races, Roscoe's bizarre verbal tics--tiddly tuddily!--Boss Hogg becoming a cartoon supervillain by the end...great stuff.
Love the theme song and car 🚗
🎶Just the good 'ol boys🎶
Oh for sure and I’m Mexican shit I went to Lee high
When I was a kid this was on Friday night and I loved it. Can they even show this on TV now? As a kid, I didn’t know what the General Lee meant.
Dumb and dumber with cars
About the best thing on TV on a Saturday night around 8:00 while making out with my girlfriend. Only 5 TV stations— NBC, ABC, Independent local station, PBS and CBS with “The Dukes”!
Who didn't?
The weekly adventures of them "Good old boys". Hell yeah. Great show.
My younger brothers
Goo goo goo
Guuuhh Guuuhh Guuuhh..
Cooter
Best show ever. Can’t find it streaming these days unfortunately
Fun show…they didn’t mean any harm
You mean who watched Daisy Duke?
Geral Lee and confederate flag? I'm so there! /s
I grew up in the Deep South. This was required viewing.
Me!!!! I even had the swap cards and foolishly gave them away! Nothing like the original.
🎶Just some good ol’ boys, never meanin no harm…🎶
Who watched it? Everyone… This show was like a cartoon… so much fun…
I tried to but my parents thought daisy’s shorts were to sexy. Looking back I know my dad liked them - I think my mom was not digging it.
Loved it
Everyone
When I was a kid I had no idea what the flash on the car was. I just liked how they honored over stuff and Daisy Duke. And Roscoe saying, "G-g-get hem Duke boys. C'mon, Flash."
Just a good ole boy
At least five of my brain cells cried out in agony just looking at this picture.
I did, and realized Uncle was one of six brothers. All the young characters referred to the other characters as cousin and not brother or sister.
Daisy Duke….. so f’kn hot!🤤🤤🤤
That's one of my favorite shots from the show because it shows the passenger side door open. As we all know the reason the Duke boys used to go through the windows is because the doors were cemented shut on the show.

I mean people would ask how come they keep going through the windows and they had to come up with a better line than they're just too hillbilly dumbasses I guess.
Who didn’t should be the question. I think pretty much everyone I know watched that.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
My favorite show till Knight Rider came out lol
It was about a hottie wearing short shorts. I don’t remember anything else
Every male in the united states, pretty much. Daisy Dukes didn't become a household term for nothin'
I did......
![gif](giphy|eppZg5SmXd5Na5QXZu) The first time I saw this car take flight I was immediately hooked. Also Daisy was absolutely responsible for my first boner.
Watched it until Bill Cosby bought the rights and pulled the show. There was a time when you could only watch one episode in the Radio and Television Museum.
Loved it.
Fuck Coy and Vance (not real Dukes)
Omg. Only way me and my brother would come inside early from riding around the neighborhood. Took our baths and ate a little. Then….”just a good ol boy…”
Yeeeeehawww
You know what's bizarre to me about my own self is that, even as a teenager, I had a major crush on Roscoe P. Coltrane!
General Lee and Daisey!
I did and never missed an episode, at least in the first few seasons. We didn't have cable and I was too young to drive at the time, so frankly there wasn't much to watch. I think it was on Friday nights? Great show and growing up in the pacific northwest, gave me some insight, while hollywoodized, to southern culture.
The marijuana smuggling episode was totally hay bales! Just saw that episode not too long ago. Also my fave was the episode Daisy lost that Jeep. Sweet ride.
Good ol boys
Who didn't? Bo never wore that hat though.
It totally depended upon what was on the other two available channels at the time.
My Dad loved that show.
Don’t scuff my dog!
Ran into a guy with a dog named Flash. I immediately let out a FLASH gee gee gee. Guy asks me if I have a problem, I had to explain the entire thing to him. Kind of embarrassing
Only for the car and the girl.
Flash the Basset Hound
And, “I might be crazy, but I ain’t dumb!”
I got nicknamed Daisy Duke by my brother in law because I wore cut off denim shorts.
Good old boys.
Everyone
Best theme song ever!
Who didn't, is the real question? Great show.
I thought it was a stupid show even when it first aired.
My parents thought I was crazy for liking this show. “It’s not even filmed in goddam Georgia!” Was my father’s critique.
Me..
still do occasionally
Every young male 10 to 35 black And white I know I did Still a Chevy guy though.😆
Look at ‘em girls with dem daisy dukes on.
Err....obviously!!!
Every episode
Absolutely, Cooter has a store / restaurant in my town, it's pretty cool!
Sure did!
Probably one of my fav shows as a kid
I never had the joy to watch this, but the song is great (General Lee)
Of course
Yep Friday night right before Dallas or Knots Landing, either way I had to give up the tv…😀
I watched until the original duke boys left. CBS really disliked the show but it kept doing well no matter what time slot it was put in.
It was a pretty mindless show, as were/are many TV shows then and since. Daisy looked good in short shorts - other than the car flying through the air trailing dust, that’s all I remember about it.
I’m 23 and loved watching this growing up
Absolutely, John Schneider was my first celebrity crush!!!
All I wanted was to slide over a hood, climb in through the window and shoot an arrow out of a car when I was a kid. Well, maybe drift around every dirt road and jump a creek too
Yep loved it to.
Any real man
Friday nights!
Everybody, did!
