The Dukes of Hazzard is an American action comedy television series created by Gy Waldron that aired on CBS from January 26, 1979, to February 8, 1985, with a total of seven seasons consisting of 147 episodes. It was consistently among the top-rated television series in the late 1970s and early 1980s (at one point, ranking second only to Dallas, which immediately followed the show on CBS's Friday night schedule). The show is about two young male cousins, Bo and Luke Duke, who live in rural Georgia and are on probation for moonshine-running. Probation prevents the "Duke Boys" from owning guns, and they are armed with bows and arrows and clever plans to outwit a corrupt sheriff and greedy rich city slickers. Their cousin Daisy Duke and other family (such as patriarch Uncle Jesse) live in a secluded country home in the woods, where they plan various escapades to expose and evade county commissioner Boss Hogg and law officer Sheriff Rosco P.

The "Duke Boys" drive a customized 1969 Dodge Charger nicknamed the General Lee, which became a symbol of the show. The series was inspired by the 1975 film Moonrunners, about a bootlegger family, which Waldron wrote and directed and had many identical or similar character names and concepts. The show was the basis for a film of the same title in 2005. The Dukes of Hazzard follows the adventures of "the Duke boys", cousins Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke (Tom Wopat) (including Coy and Vance Duke for most of season 5), who live on a family farm in fictional Hazzard County, Georgia (the exact location of which is never specified, though Atlanta is mentioned several times as the nearest big city), with their cousin Daisy (Catherine Bach) and their wise old Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle). The Duke boys race around in their customized 1969 Dodge Charger stock car, dubbed (The) General Lee, evading crooked and corrupt county commissioner Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and his bumbling and corrupt Sheriff Rosco P.

Coltrane (James Best) along with his deputy(s), and always managing to get caught in the middle of various local escapades and incidents. Bo and Luke were previously sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine; their Uncle Jesse made a plea bargain with the U. As a result, Bo and Luke are on probation and not allowed to carry firearms-instead, they often use compound bows, sometimes with arrows tipped with dynamite-or to leave Hazzard County unless they get permission from their probation officer, Boss Hogg. The details of their probation terms vary from episode to episode.

Sometimes it is implied that they would be jailed for merely crossing the county line, [1] or in other episodes the state line. On other occasions it is shown that they may leave Hazzard as long as they are back within a certain time. [2] Several other technicalities of their probation come into play at various times. Corrupt county commissioner Jefferson Davis J. "Boss" Hogg either runs or has his fingers in virtually everything in Hazzard County.

Hogg is forever angry at the Dukes, especially Bo and Luke, for their habit of foiling his crooked schemes. Many episodes revolve around Hogg's attempts to engage in some such scheme, sometimes with the aid of hired criminal help. Some of these are get-rich-quick schemes, but many others affect the financial security of the Duke farm, which Hogg has long wanted to acquire for various reasons. Other times, Hogg hires criminals from out of town to do his dirty work for him, and he often tries to frame Bo and Luke as part of these plots. Bo and Luke always seem to stumble over Hogg's latest scheme, sometimes by curiosity, and often by sheer luck, and quash it. Despite the Dukes often coming to his rescue, Hogg never loses his irrational dislike of the clan, particularly Bo and Luke, often accusing them of spying on him, robbing or planning to rob him, or other nefarious actions.

Hogg was played by Sorrell Booke, who performed frequently on radio, stage, and film before his role in The Dukes of Hazzard. Hogg is one of only two characters to appear in every episode of the series, the other being Uncle Jesse Duke. Daisy Duke appears in all but one episode (season 3's "To Catch a Duke"). The show's other main characters include local mechanic Cooter Davenport (Ben Jones), who in early episodes was portrayed as a wild, unshaven rebel, often breaking or treading on the edge of the law, before settling down to become the Duke family's best friend (often called an "honorary Duke") and owning the local garage. Enos Strate (Sonny Shroyer) is an honest but naive young deputy who, despite his friendship with the Dukes (and his crush on Daisy), is reluctantly forced to take part in Hogg and Rosco's crooked schemes.

In the third and fourth seasons, when Shroyer left for his own show, his character was replaced by Deputy Cletus Hogg (Rick Hurst), Boss's cousin, who is slightly wilier than Enos but still a somewhat reluctant player in Hogg's plots. Owing to their fundamentally good natures, the Dukes often wind up helping Boss Hogg out of trouble, albeit grudgingly. More than once Hogg is targeted by former associates who are either seeking revenge or have double-crossed him after a scheme has unraveled. Sheriff Coltrane also finds himself targeted in some instances.

On such occasions, Bo and Luke usually have to rescue their adversaries as an inevitable precursor to defeating the bad guys; in other instances, the Dukes join forces with Hogg and Coltrane to tackle bigger threats to Hazzard or one of their respective parties. These instances became more frequent as the show progressed, and later seasons saw a number of stories where the Dukes and Hogg (and Coltrane) temporarily work together. The series was developed from the 1975 film Moonrunners. Created by Gy Waldron in collaboration with ex-moonshiner Jerry Rushing, this movie shares many identical and very similar names and concepts with the subsequent TV series.

Although itself essentially a comedy, this original movie was much cruder and edgier than the family-friendly TV series that evolved from it. In 1977, Waldron was approached by Warner Bros. With the idea of developing Moonrunners into a television series.

Waldron reworked various elements from Moonrunners, ultimately devising what became The Dukes of Hazzard. Production began in October 1978 with the original intention of only nine episodes for a mid-season filler. The first five episodes were filmed in Covington and Conyers, Georgia and surrounding areas, including some location work in nearby Atlanta. After completing production on the fifth episode, "High Octane", the cast and crew broke for Christmas break, expecting to return in several weeks to complete the ordered run of episodes.

In the meantime, executives at Warner Bros. Were impressed by the rough preview cuts of the completed episodes and saw potential in developing the show into a full-running series.

Part of this plan was to move production from Georgia to the Warner Bros. Lot in Burbank, California, to simplify production as well as develop a larger workshop to service the large number of automobiles needed for the series.

Rushing appeared as shady used car dealer Ace Parker in the third episode, "Repo Men" (the fourth to be broadcast). Rushing believed this to be the start of a recurring role, in return for which he would supply creative ideas from his experiences: many of the Dukes (and thus Moonrunners) characters and situations were derived from Rushing's experiences as a youth, and much of the character of Bo Duke, he states to be based on him. However, "Repo Men" turned out to be the character's only appearance in the show's run, leading to a legal dispute in the following years over the rights to characters and concepts.

Despite this, Rushing remained on good terms with cast and crew and in recent years has made appearances at several fan conventions. By the end of the first (half) season, the family-friendly tone of The Dukes of Hazzard was mostly in place. By the third season, starting in fall 1980, the template which would be widely associated with the show was evident. As well as car chases, jumps and stunts, The Dukes of Hazzard relied on character familiarity, with each character effectively serving the same role within a typical episode.

Deputy Cletus replaced Deputy Enos in Seasons 3 and 4, and Coy and Vance Duke temporarily replaced Bo and Luke (due to a salary dispute) for most of Season 5, but these were the only major cast changes through the show's run. Only Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg appeared in all 145 episodes; Daisy appears in all but one, the third season's To Catch a Duke. " The General Lee also appears in all episodes except "Mary Kaye's Baby.

The show was largely filmed in Hidden Valley in Thousand Oaks, California, with scenes also shot at nearby Lake Sherwood and at Paramount Ranch in nearby Agoura Hills. Beauregard "Bo" Duke (born circa 1958) is a fictional character in the American television series The Dukes of Hazzard, he is the second main protagonist in the series, which ran from 1979 to 1985. He was played by John Schneider. Fictional biography in the television series.

Bo and his cousin Lucas K. "Luke" Duke (Tom Wopat) live in an unincorporated area of the fictional Hazzard County, in Georgia.

Bo and Luke own a 1969 Dodge Charger, named The General Lee, which is painted orange, with the Confederate flag on top, and 01 painted on the sides with the name "General Lee" inscribed above the doors that were welded shut for safety. Bo and Luke evade the corrupt officials of Hazzard County, Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and usually end up putting an end to Hogg's latest crooked scheme. The Dukes (including cousin Daisy Duke and Uncle Jesse Duke) were well known for their role in the moonshine business among other interests.

Bo and Luke had both been sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine. As a result, neither was permitted to use firearms, instead preferring to use bow and arrows, which they sometimes tipped with dynamite. The terms of Bo and Luke's probation included staying within the boundaries of Hazzard County unless given special permission by their Probation Officer, J. Bo was the blond, younger of the two Duke boys (according to the episode "Happy Birthday, General Lee", Bo was getting out of high school around the time that Luke was wrapping up his enlistment in the United States Marines), and the more impulsive one of the pair. He often reacted to situations on impulse without thinking, sometimes with an "act/speak now, think later" attitude.

This trait was an advantage at most times, since it made him willing to dive into dangerous situations without any regard for his safety, however he bit off more than he could chew a few times. Bo was a superior driver to his cousin Luke, probably the reason he drove most often and was the first Duke to jump the General Lee. [2] Although Bo was not professionally trained in boxing like Luke was, he was entirely capable of taking care of himself, even saving Luke in a fight on occasion. [3][4] As with his cousins Luke and Daisy, Bo's tendency to fall in love easily led the Dukes into trouble a few times, most prominently in the feature-length/two-part story "Carnival of Thrills".

Bo was the only Duke to perform a "roof slide". The character was nearly always seen wearing the same style of clothes, with a yellow shirt (with a blue T-shirt underneath for the first two seasons and some of third; this T-shirt is brown in the pilot episode), and light blue jeans. The exact hue of the shirt varied across the seasons - early on it was a deeper yellow; mid-run it was more of a cream color, and late examples saw it being more of a grey tone, and he did wear a yellowish-brown shirt in seasons 6-7. The second episode produced and broadcast, "Daisy's Song", is notable for Bo instead wearing a red shirt for much of the story. A sequence in the fifth episode, "High Octane", sees Bo dressed in a light blue shirt, and many early publicity shots see the character dressed in a darker blue denim shirt.

The character of Bo was best known for his rebel yell exclamation of the catchphrase, Yee-Haa! ; cousin Luke sometimes also performed such a yell, but on a less regular basis. (Actor Tom Wopat had trouble mastering the high-pitched yell early on, and in the opening credits and many examples within the episodes, it is actually a recording of John Schneider's version used twice to represent both Duke boys' yell). Most of the time, it was Bo who drove The General Lee, with his cousin Luke riding shotgun (although these roles were swapped more regularly in later seasons); very early episodes suggested that the General belonged solely to Bo (Luke is said to have had a car that was wrecked very shortly before the start of the first episode, "One Armed Bandits"), but by mid-first season, it was implied that both Bo and Luke owned the General Lee evenly between them. After Bo graduated high school in-and-around 1976[7] he became a stock car driver (though he joined the NASCAR Circuit for most of season 5 with his cousin Luke), and he was typically the one known for taking the General on most of its legendary jumps.

Because its doors were welded shut, Bo and Luke always had to climb in and out of the car through the windows. Actors John Schneider and Tom Wopat have admitted that, on occasions that the roles were reversed and Luke drove, they found it much more difficult to climb in and out of the opposite window to which they were accustomed. According to the 1997 film The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!

Bo left Hazzard again to pursue a successful NASCAR career, this time without Luke. Shortly before his return to Hazzard, he crashed his car, and is still in Hazzard in the 2000 film The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood. Although he was a lifelong bachelor, in the 2000 film, he met a Mexican-American woman named Gabrielle (nicknamed Gabby) in Los Angeles and convinced her to go to Hazzard to be with him.
