Dukes of Hazzard 7 seasons all good?
 

Gee I cant remember. Was this one of shows that really dropped in quality enough to be cautionous in future dvd sets down the line. As kid I thought I remember being upset by lead males being replaced, at least for awhile. Other then that how was quality for 7 season run?

i watched this show as a kid, mainly for the car chases. i remember liking the characters, but can't remember too many episodes that stood out. it was one of those "always-on" series, and now, it's all a big blur.

Coy and Vance Duke were poor replacements......

That is a season that definitely should be skipped. I wonder if the exec that suggested that idea ever lost their job over it. "lets get two guys that look just like Bo and Luke, and dress them in the same clothes. The audience will never know the difference. It is all about the car chases." :rolleyes:

I'll get them all just to be a completist. I was heart-broken as a kid though when Coy and Vance replaced Bo and Luke... BUT I'll still buy that season nonetheless.

The impression I've always gotten is that ratings remained solid during that season even without Schneider and Wopat. If that's the case I imagine the exec would've gotten a promotion.

dang, that's right. they used the "cousins" of the original duke boys. can't believe they got away with that. but i seem to remember the good ol' boys returning??

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't it Cory and Vince, not Vance?

They're different because in the fakes, it's the blonde one who wears blue & drives and the brunette one who wears yellow and rides shotgun.

and yeah, those are the only differences.

It's Vance.

I don't think it was even a full season... so if you 'skip it' -- you'll miss Bo & Luke episodes

season 5; eps. 87-105
 

You are correct. It was 19 episodes, Bo & Luke were in 4 that year. Enos was back this season also after his show failed after 16 episodes.

If I remember correctly, the quality dropped in Show 1 of Season 1.

;)

Seriously...can the word quality ever really be attributed to the "acting" on the show. Hell...the General Lee was as famous as any of the actors.

Since I was too young to remember, what was the story behind Bo and Luke leaving? Both in the show and in real life.

They left in the show to pursue careers as race car drivers. In real life, they both had contract disputes (wanted more money). Plus, Paul Schneider wanted a stab at films. That started during his hiatus from the Dukes in '83 with Eddie Macon's Run.

I'll buy all 7 seasons including Coy and Vance. The writing was of the same quality during that season and the show was almost as good. It's not like they replaced the whole cast. Jessie, Daisy, Boss, Rosco, Enos & Cooter were all still there. Same ol' Dukes of Hazzard to me.

I'll be buying all seasons as well (assuming they all get released). Plus, the WB should release 'Enos' for good measure (see my sig to vote).

But the Coy and Vance season had the best intro of all 7 seasons...when they jump the General Lee over the family barn! :lol:

Err, I think you mean John Schneider.

Wow I don't even remember it going for 7 seasons. Like another poster said, it's all a blur. No episode really stood out, just a lot of "Yeehaw" and car stunts, and "Geewd geewd geewd" and Boss Hog's bull horned car and Daisy Duke and a bassett hound.

What season did coy and vance step in.

If in fact this series ran 7 seasons (that seems a bit high for some reason), Coy and Vance came in around season 6 because I remember Bo and Luke returned for one last season before the show got cancelled.

7 seasons, Jan 1979 to Feb 1985

Coy and Vance got the boot in the 5th season, due to an "illness in the family" and the original Duke boys returned late that season.

WB would get my vote to get Enos on DVD. Smackem-Jackem or something like that.

Will Warner Bros ever release a box set with all the seasons?

You can get seasons 1-7 for $232 at Amazon but I assume they would make a box set with a discount price in the future maybe in a collectible General Lee packaging?

:eek:

That's WAY too expensive for these...I grabbed all seven seasons for much less than $100 total....Walmart used to sell seasons for like $10-15 each, and they've also popped up at clubs like Costco, Sam's, and BJ's around a $12 price point or so....these have also shown up previously at Big Lots for like $6 each or something....

I'd advise you ignore Amazon and look around for better deals....
