I did I saw the very first one on Friday night premiere movie on channel 10 I believe funny as hell never looked back I always pulled up a chair and saw them all great show
Multiple small buildings on your land, chickens in the background, archery in the morning with your cousin, Uncle Jesse repairing the roof on a broken ladder, soft country music in the background playing oh how much I miss the 70s!
It is still here. I just shot my bow, fixed my roof from the wind damage, fed the chickens! Now all I need is the General and my cousin and life would be complete!!!
This show always bring back the memories. I was eight when the first season came out. Watched it every Friday at 8pm. My folks watched Dallas afterwards @ 9 on CBS.
You and I were/are the same then lol The Friday night line up was: 7:00-8:00-M*A*S*H 8:00-9:00-Dukes of Hazzard 9:00-10:00-Dallas 10:00-11:00-Knots Landing or Falcons Crest...I always get them confused lol
@Jason johnson Well it depends on where you lived, my listings were what was on at my house at the time bc my oldest brother loved MASH so we all watched MASH before DOH
@ Jason Johnson: You are right about the Hulk on Friday. However, the show came on 8 & 9pm eastern standard time. So in that case Faith 4 Life was right about M*A*S*H being in the time slot before DOH.
@@zombiehunter4920 you are so right if they don't like it change the channel like I do with half the shit that's on today or they can go to there safe spaces that's what they're made for LMFAO bring back the Duke's
This was when they still filmed on location in Ga. After season 2, maybe 3 they moved everything to Ca. The feel was more real the first couple of seasons.
Good times watching the Dukes Of Hazzard back in the 80's. There was always a new episode every Friday night. Kind of reminds me of my Mother's family who lived in Ennis, Texas.
This show will never be beat. All REAL stunts. No CGI bullshit. Even made a record car jump on one take they didn't even know they were just making an episode. When they jumped the river. Miss the good old days. (member berries aren't so bad).
Daisy Duke looked extra beautiful in this episode. The woman looked amazing throughout the whole series but there is something so natural and glowing about her in these early Dukes.
@@doughesson that line cracks me up every time I rewatch it. I'm 90% sure later on it's revealed Boss has a meat company so basically there's a Hogg producing beef right in Hazzard
Me too but the SJW's that infest this country wouldn't stand for it, they would whine sexism about daisy wearing daisy dukes and claim the show is "RACIALLY DISCRIMINATING" with the confederate flag on top of the general lee, so were stuck with watching it on dvd, netflix, hulu or wherever else you can find it.
@@lori4782 So did I. Bought it before the SJW could inflict any more of their stuff. Now just have to get a Confederate Flag on top of my Dodge Charger.....
So funny to think of them having another car. Wonder if the idea was that the other one was Luke's, the one Cooter supposedly borrowed in One Armed Bandits that never appeared.
I live in the mountains above Atlanta. You can still cruise in there on 575, 75 and 400 just like that.. Plus easy park right in front of your destination.. ... .... At 4am.
Back in 1979 thru the early 1980s, I had no idea what I was missing in refusing to watch more than a few of these episodes. I was such a pseudo-intellectual snob at the time. It would take many more years of life experiences and the growing willingness to watch this (in syndication) that I realized that this was a good show. I'm now 56 and I believe it to be interesting but more important the characters are very believable because they are truly "down to earth" and very wise.
I'd have to research, but I think the first few episodes were narrated by Johnny Cash. Waylon came on after. Hence the June Carter comment. Though I could be wrong there.
@@chuckjones5379 No...the Balladeer part was always Waylon. If you know Waylon and Johnny 's history it' s actually quite easy to see it was a tongue in cheek joke. lol
@@StarryStarryNocturne no, many downtown areas became barren during the 70s especially those whose economies largely moved to the suburbs during previous decades.
They should do a prequel version of The Duke Boys in the Civil War days, fighting the slave system with Boss Hogg owning a plantation and Roscoe trying to catch runaway slaves and The Duke Boys helping free slaves.
“It’s in Atlanta.” “That place ain’t been right since Sherman burnt it!” Damn straight Uncle Jessy. Miss all Hazzard county, The Dukes (especially Daisy), Crazy Cooter, Einas, sheriff Rosco P. Cooaaalll-train, even Boss Hogg.
We often missed the first or second episode of a new series. Word of mouth got viewers in by October/November or the show got cancelled after the first 13 ep package. Remember WKRP? "Turkeys Away" saved that show and it was successful for years. Star Trek was saved by "Balance of Terror". The first episodes were toss always by programming directors. Then there was often "the Episode Before Christmas" when people stopped watching series TV for a month.
@@STho205 Now they hype the Season premiere like the show depends on it, so the viewers won't watch all of the other Network's premieres. But never again reaching the level of the legendary event known as 'Who shot J.R.' In older times each of the big three ABC, CBS, and NBC, had a week of airing premieres so they wouldn't overlap and the viewers could sample all the available series, before settling into their schedule of favorites. Only to, always, have your #1 favorite be cancelled after about 3-10 episodes completely leaving you hanging. Unless you were lucky, and the gave you a 2hr. Made-for-TV special which tried to answer, ALL of the show's questions at once. And maybe if you were very lucky they might just bring the show back with a few alterations in casting, new sets/locations, and a slightly shifted premise. Ahh, good times.😀📺
Show was based on the 1975 TV Movie Moonrunners. No Bo and Luke, but had Uncle Jesse. Stumbled upon it and got a funny feeling, like....moonshine? Southern boys? Uncle Jesse?
No bo and Luke? Wasn't it Mitchums son and another guy ( can't remember name ) kinda bragging about women they got pregnant, illegitimate children and boozing smoking like a more realistic dirty version of the Dukes,?? Too bad that they didn't make the show more like that, Those two were squeaky clean
that is so strange seeing the general drive into a modern city i dont know why but i kinda imagined the show happened during the time of horses for some reason.
For those of you wondering like I was, the General Lee entering Atlanta scene was filmed on hwy 10{John Lewis freedom pkwy}between Blvd NE & Jackson St. Bridge heading West bound. If this is wrong somebody please correct this, it would be interesting to Dukes fans everywhere.
I wonder why they dubbed or looped in the words "Jessi Colter" everytime Daisy mentioned her song? I get the impression this was changed later in the filming because, well, Jessi was Waylon's wife and was probably available for filming. I get the distinct impression that whomever they mentioned on-set must've cancelled or not shown up at the last minute.
Waylon Jennings was correct about the General Lee. When Bo and Luke expected trouble, they both know they can count on General Lee to get them out of sticky situations! He never let the Duke Boys, Uncle Jesse, Daisy Duke or anybody who got behind his steering wheel down.
This is just me but what they could have done in this very first episode was how they got the General Lee and how it was made that one that season 7 where they made the General Lee that could have been season 1 in the beginning but oh well
watching this in 2019 ......... wishing so severely badly that I was watching this in 1979. Life was so much simpler & less stressful back then imo
I did I saw the very first one on Friday night premiere movie on channel 10 I believe funny as hell never looked back I always pulled up a chair and saw them all great show
I wish I could go back too
I feel the same
A yo dats rill ya'll baleedat forill doh yeeeeeeee boyeeee
simpler and less stressful until your song gets ripped off!
Multiple small buildings on your land, chickens in the background, archery in the morning with your cousin, Uncle Jesse repairing the roof on a broken ladder, soft country music in the background playing oh how much I miss the 70s!
I believe it's still out there. One must leave the city to find peace and happiness.
It is still here. I just shot my bow, fixed my roof from the wind damage, fed the chickens! Now all I need is the General and my cousin and life would be complete!!!
Don't you just love that lack of Atlanta traffic when the general Lee is around.
1979 yeah
Didn't want to b around when the cops couldn't catch the General so they give the ticket 🎟️ to the next person going by 😅😂🤣💖💕🌹
Always had relatives in the area and drove 18-wheelers through and around the city and traffic was always there!
This show always bring back the memories. I was eight when the first season came out. Watched it every Friday at 8pm. My folks watched Dallas afterwards @ 9 on CBS.
John Widner lol...me too..I wish they’d put it back on and tell the haters to grow up
You and I were/are the same then lol The Friday night line up was:

10:00-11:00-Knots Landing or Falcons Crest...I always get them confused lol
@ Faith 4 Life: I think one of the shows were on ABC. Forget which one. I think it was Falcon's Crest.

Best classic American Television show ever made.
My favorite show
“That place ain’t been right since Sherman burned it.”
Yep.
Jessie talking about Atlanta: "That place ain't been right since Sherman burnt it" lol.
He should see it today. Lol
Make that statement on tv today and see what happens
The Devil went down to Georgia... but Johnny had left her years ago.
Good 'ol uncle Jesse, heart of gold, ain't no-one better, rest in peace uncle Jesse!
I like that waylon Jennings said that he liked June Carter even though he was married to jessi Colter
lol
Really.. Didn't know that..
Funny I said the same thing as I was watching it lol
Yes!! I caught that too. Very funny! Waylon always had a good sense of humor!
Brong back the dukes of hazzard on METV. A good old wholesome show.
they'd rather have maury on the tolevision.
frick poo Where?
No leave classic alone.
Heeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaw!!!!
This was the first season. Back when the Dukes still fought the system.
Yeah. That's when you fought the system! Now we ban the rebal flag! It's not p.c. correct!!! Boo hooh I'm offended and need my safe place!!
Any system.

I was going on 9yrs when this episode first aired. I still remember sitting in front of the TV watching The Dukes of Hazard on a Friday nights.
Best woman to come out of the 70s. Loved Daisy Duke!!!
In as much as I luv me some Daisy Duke, let's not forget about Lynda Carter
brings back great memories a piece of my childhood thanks for posting

There were some later eps where the stunts weren't real...like they jumped a 3 story house or a silo tower.

Stupid libtards ruin everything!!
Guess you'll have to deal with the 2005 movie lol
This show brings back so many memories growing up, When I was 12 years old I got a kiss from daisy, and I had a pet hamster named after her.
So funny to think of them having another car. Wonder if the idea was that the other one was Luke's, the one Cooter supposedly borrowed in One Armed Bandits that never appeared.
One of the best shows.
That does it, I’m buying the box set. I was born in 1970 and watched this religiously. I played along with my matchbox cars. Good times I tell you!
This was my favorite show growing up couldn’t wait till Friday nights
Boy Atlanta traffic ain't like it used to be used to be just Cruise right on in there

As t that time I was a big Waylon fan. Especially his "Outlaw years". Good show and music!
I was a kid when this was on and I don't think I ever missed an episode!
I did not know that Daisy owned a pair of pants. I thought she only had shorts. Either way she looks awesome in either.
Grew up watching the movie just about every night form age 6 to 19 never watched the old episodes and now I can’t get enough of it
Awesome show
I love the traveling music when they are going to Atlanta I love this show
1979 looks so hospitable and inviting..
If you lived in the suburbs, most downtown areas were pretty dangerous in the 70s/80s.
@@hadihatab3126 You mean it wasn't just New York that had that problem?
@@StarryStarryNocturne no, many downtown areas became barren during the 70s especially those whose economies largely moved to the suburbs during previous decades.
Very rarely did Dukes start out without the General Lee driving around somewhere. This is one of those episodes.
Wow, haven't seen Duke's of Hazard since it aired back in 79. Cute show😃.
I was waiting for the clip to start back up after the ad..
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Such simpler days back then..
Bring back the dukes of hazzard
Love Daisy's accent 😍
Nice scene shows the farmhouse and the barns
Love the piano music in the Early episodes in Georgia too
They should do a prequel version of The Duke Boys in the Civil War days, fighting the slave system with Boss Hogg owning a plantation and Roscoe trying to catch runaway slaves and The Duke Boys helping free slaves.
I been reading all your comments I always liked seeing Daisy in her shorts dam beautiful looking
Episode #02 of my favorite show ever.
That place aint been right since Sherman burned it. LoL
“It’s in Atlanta.” “That place ain’t been right since Sherman burnt it!” Damn straight Uncle Jessy. Miss all Hazzard county, The Dukes (especially Daisy), Crazy Cooter, Einas, sheriff Rosco P. Cooaaalll-train, even Boss Hogg.
Catherine Bach she was hot
Her Daisy dukes were even hotter
Yes she was😁👍
She got me through puberty

Remember he had already done a ton of westerns . On the rifle man and Grizzly Adams bye then
Just about to make the same comment! They were all so young! The General was only 10 years old!!
Was ALWAYS a fan of Denver
He was also on the Andy Griffith show.
He played in bonnie and clyde too a sherriff 1967
This was a different world back then and I was their
You were their what?
"There"

She was so beautiful omg
That place ain't been right since Sherman burned it.. Lol. Right on
Now I wanna see the rest of this episode
0:08 that smile... the smile that lit up my world and made me happy again
So true gd times back then gd show love the car
Wish they would start playing them on TV again they was the best show on
Show was based on the 1975 TV Movie Moonrunners. No Bo and Luke, but had Uncle Jesse. Stumbled upon it and got a funny feeling, like....moonshine? Southern boys? Uncle Jesse?
Was that the one with Robert Mitchums son?
Leonard Halbert Correct.

how can the duke boys drive to Atlanta when they supposed to be on probation which they can't drive past Hazzard country
Carl Gray cause there the duke bois the they fight the system.
They probably snuck in illegally they did it alot on the show
They’ve been in trouble with the law since the day they were born. I’m thinking they aren’t worried about it.
that is so strange seeing the general drive into a modern city i dont know why but i kinda imagined the show happened during the time of horses for some reason.

Cousin Daisy is mighty fine...
Finally good video.
heck, back in the 1970's, my old man wouldn't be fixing things while i played around--I'd be right there next to him helping. but hey, it's a TV show.
Is Bo using a release on that bow string? Very early use of a release.
Was this the only episode where the Dukes actually went to a city?
No, in one of the later seasons they went to Hollywood.
Bo & Luke was on probation, "couldn't own no guns" but no one had a problem with them having access to dynamite.
The only time they changed clothes except for Christmas 😂
1:34 Bo calls her Casey..
Tonight!! ....On The Dukes...!!!
Funny what Waylon said seeing Jessi was his wife
