When one is a kid with a sister, one sometimes is forced to watch shows they would rather not watch. This is the one for me. I hated this show as a kid as it bored me to no end. I did not like the Duke boys, Boss Hog, or any of that crap. Though Daisy Dukes was a cutie in those shorts, so that is about the only thing to watch in this show about two guys evading the law whenever they can. The town is run by a corrupt leader and the Duke boys do what they can to undermine him at every turn. This show did last longer than most hour long shows of the time. Usually, a show of this type would not last very long usually axed after the second or third season and just falling short of 100 episodes. This one made it to 145 so despite my dislike of the show it most have had its followers. I just was not one of them, this show just was not to my tastes, the chases proved to be boring compared to ones from a James Bond flick, the car not cool at all when compared to Smokey's car from "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Knight Rider" and the humor not my kind of humor. Of course, to this day I have an extreme dislike for super southern type things, growing up here in the south one can only take the southern slang so much, I had no urge to see redneck talking folks on television too. The show also had more cast changes during its run than the normal show. They replaced the Duke boys and I think even Daisy at one point. I just do not see replacing what made the show famous and still surviving, though I think the original Duke boys did come back. However, you really do have to admire those shorts.
