Book Description
Following in the successful wake of The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres, The Dukes of Hazzard debuted in January 1979 and quickly became a staple of CBS-TV's Friday night lineup. With its wild mix of wacky car chases and spectacular vehicle wrecks, bumbling sheriffs, greedy politicians, and its rambunctious lead players (the Duke boys and curvaceous Daisy Duke), it's little wonder the program developed such a strong and loyal viewership. This is the first book devoted to the genesis and production of the hit program, tracing its 1970s origin through to its recent, highly-rated "reunion" movie on CBS-TV. The author conducted extensive interviews with cast and technical talent to explore this beloved show - revealing for the first time many behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the week-to-week filming of the series.In this lively and factual presentation of the long-running TV series (1979-85), no trivia point is left unanswered about the amazing clan of Dukes and their colorful nemeses Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and Boss Hogg. ... Read more

If you're a Dukes fan,you'll love this book!
As a Dukes fan,I was thrilled when this book came out-it's about as official as you can get for an"unofficial"companion book. If there's anything you've ever wanted to know about the show,the actors,or even the General Lee,you'll find it in this book. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful, detailed book full of little known facts!
This is a great read for any Dukes of Hazzard fan.The author gives a detailed history describing Waldron's inspirations for the show, facts on the personal and acting history of each cast member,as well as an episode by episode discussion of all eight seasons!Even guest stars are discussed.I found out many interesting unknown facts about the guest stars which made the show even more fun to watch(for instance, I didn't not know that the lady playing the character of Sherry Tolliver in the episode 'The Rustlers' was the future Mrs. James Best.) The author then ends it all by giving updates on each member of the cast.Hats off to Hofstede for a job well done!

I worked on Dukes of Hazzard
I was production coordinator on
"Dukes" for the first season and
again for several weeks during other
seasons .. not going to read the
book .. I am sure it is fun .. so
was working on "Dukes" .. Crashed cars
daily by 2nd unit .. transportation
with my help trying to find replacements
for shooting early in a.m. .. YIKES ..
it was a time I shall never forget ..
But my words were not wanted for the
book or at least no one asked for them...
sooo I cannot review it well .. only
that it was a fun show to work on
as were many of the other shows ..
some classic and some not..which I
worked on... ... Read more
