There is an episode where Boss hogg is kidnapped and Roscoe gets onto the cb and begs the dukes to save his friend. It's a very sweet moment, it shows the regard that Roscoe has for Hogg. Its a nice episode worthy of mention.

I’ve only just started watching this video, and I can say I have nothing but respect for your respect for this show; you clearly care for it and have viewed each episode about as many times as I have lol. Keep these coming, you’ve got my views

You did a GREAT job with this. One Armed Bandits is my personal favorite, and the Georgia-shot episodes are probably all in my Top Five, but you really capture everything we love about Dukes here. Total Aces from a major league fan!

I love how in the Cale Yarborough episode that they briefly mentioned at the end of the episode that Cale Yarborough was headed to Hickory to race at Hickory Motor Speedway since Hickory,North Carolina is my hometown and was the city that actor James Best who portrayed Sheriff Roscoe lived in for the last few years of his life. Interesting side note he died at Catawba Memorial Hospital where I was employed at the time.

Confused Reviews - Great video. I've only just discovered your great channel when actually searching for "Top 10 Dukes Episodes" lists, which oddly seem quite rare on KZfaq. I'm a lifelong Dukes fan (a British one at that), it rivals 'The A-Team' as my all-time favourite TV show. It's a shame it's been tarnished slightly by the whole confederate flag debate in recent years (I'm not gonna wade into that, but in terms of Dukes it always simply reflected Southern heritage and rebellion against "The System"). For a year or so now I've been planning my own "Top 11 Episodes" channel of various 1980s TV series; I've even scripted the first few, just need to narrate and edit the damned things! Either way was fascinating comparing my own Top 11 list with your own selection, as people's tastes of favourite DOH episodes often vary considerably. If you're bothered at all, here's my take on each of your ten selected episodes: 10. "The Ghost of General Lee" A very good episode, one that generally ranks in a similar slot on my own Top 11 list. Two points have always stopped it ranking higher for me - even though this is still the earlier, slightly harsher Boss Hogg, I always felt uncomfortable that within seconds of learning of the Duke Boys "deaths" he was planning to frame them for a crime (a season or two later and Boss would have been in deep remorse to ever even consider doing this; in fact within a couple of seasons he would sometimes abort his schemes if he even thought it endangered anyone); and the sudden switch from drama into the comedy-based 'ghost car' finale jars a bit. But still a strong episode thanks to it's dramatic moments. 9. "Daisy's Song" An excellent second episode - and one particularly of note to me in that, this was the earliest Dukes episode I had for several years (when satellite channel Sky One re-ran the series here in the UK in the early 1990s, I saw but wasn't able to record the first episode) and so re-watched it MANY times. I love the more down-to-earth elements of this (and the other first five) story over some of the more fantastical and even slightly childish later stories, and - as with several of the stronger guest villains - I always thought it was a shame record pirate Starr and henchman Jojo never made a return appearance in Hazzard as they were very enjoyable villains and deserved to be brought back. 8. "Ten Million Dollar Sheriff" A reasonable two-hour / two-parter, though it wouldn't make my own top episodes list. It has a decent story but I do find it too padded out, particularly in the first part, with too many "comedy shenanigans" of Boss and Rosco switching roles (which even within the "flexible reality" of the series, seems to go against too much of things we've seen from Boss in other episode), including the drawn out gambling sequences, which I never really warmed to. It is a decent story, but would have worked far better if condensed down to a single-length episode and some of the more unnecessary "comedy" elements skipped. 9. "Carnival of Thrills" Arguably the best of the show's three two-hours/two-parters, and one which I like more than "Ten Million Dollar Sheriff". It's nice that it plays on some of the more dramatic elements, with comedy-double-act (much as I love them) Boss and Rosco actually taking a back seat for much of this one. Interesting that it is, actually, the final story filmed for the second season (and there's a number of tell-tale signs of it's second season origins) and it was originally shown away ahead of the third season, but nowadays is generally considered the third season opener. Not a series favourite of mine (maybe still a bit too drawn out) but one I do like. 8. "Too Many Roscos" The "same actor, different role" (or indeed "a character suffers a sudden change of personality") stories were a very mixed bag for me. I much preferred more adventure-based episodes with guest villains; the dual-role/personality change stories did stretch the belief slightly (not that Dukes was ever much based in reality!) and I always found them harder to fully buy into. But I'd agree that "Baa, Baa White Sheep" and "Too Many Roscos" rank amongst the best of those types of episodes. "White Sheep" actually suffers in my view in that it feels incomplete - Bo is completely absent, as is (less importantly) Cletus. It was actually the first episode to be filmed for the third season, and it's like the full cast wasn't back from vacation yet. "Too Many Roscos" is a very strong episode; It wouldn't make my own top ten but it is a great showcase for James Best. 7. "Jude Emery" An interesting choice for a Top 10 list. I like "Jude Emery" in principal (one of several proposed second season spin-off pilots, the other being "Mason Dixon's Girls" and, in some form, "Southern Comfurts"). In fact, I go through phases of REALLY liking it. The one thing that stops it being a solid favourite in my book: Sheriff Grady Bird. I'm kinda odd in that if a major cast member if missing or replaced then it always marks an episode down a notch in my book, and a number of second season episodes suffer with both Rosco or Cooter replacements (oddly I'm far more forgiving with Coy and Vance episodes, in that we at least knew they'd be there each week). Although producers had seemingly settled on Dick Sergeant a being the regular Sheriff, with him appearing in TWO episodes, and even full cast publicity shots with him in, reportedly he wasn't too popular with some members of the cast which is why he was in turn again replaced with James Hampton (Sheriff Buster Moon) before Best finally returned. Beyond the Grady Bird fiasco, this is a decent episode, and I always like episodes that do something a bit different, and indeed ones that give us very different and interesting villains to the regular "generic bad guy duo of the week" which was seen in many other episodes. It was originally devised in it's early stages as a two-hour outing, and I think would have fared better as that, as the plot's conclusion does feel a bit rushed. 4. "Welcome Back, Bo 'N' Luke" Good episode in that it finally brings back the original Duke boys to take over from lookalike replacements Coy and Vance (who, I have to say, I never out-and-out HATED, and some episode plots with them in were reasonable), but it basically is a standard Dukes episode (albeit a good one) with the return of Bo and Luke and the departure of Coy and Vance awkwardly tacked on to the first few minutes, and by the end of the episode playing like the whole cast change thing never even happened. I think everyone, even Coy and Vance haters, would have at least liked to have seen a proper episode where the two pairs of Duke boys team up to stop a particularly severe plot by Boss Hogg or whatever, but the fact they are gone and forgotten by the first ad break feels so disappointing. Tom Wopat and John Schneider had already completed one episode after their return to the series ("Big Brothers Duke", the next to be broadcast), so you'd think the writers could have had time to at least cobble something together for the four of them. Decent but more for novelty value in my book. 3. "Happy Birthday General Lee" This seems to be a series favourite with many fans. I guess I vaguely like it... but in a more novelty kinda way again. It comes at the start of the seventh season, where the series was really on it's last legs, and is the season I consider to be the weakest of the show's run, with many of the show's weakest episodes and the feel that much of the cast and crew (and the writers) didn't really have their heart in things any more. It's interesting to see a flashback episode with everyone a bit younger (and, naturally, no mention of Coy and Vance even though elsewhere in the series it was indicated they would have lived on the farm at this point) and to see how the Dukes acquired the General Lee, but... I dunno... it's too much in the show's flimsy and almost childish late days to make my top ten. There are one or two vague touches to the very early episodes (such as Uncle Jesse's original hat), but far too much conflicting with what we saw in those earliest first season episodes, even beyond (understandably) overlooking the change of filming location. Not an episode that stands out as a particular favourite with me I'm afraid. 2. "One Armed Bandits" The very first episode, and a classic. The first thing that stands out, of course, is the contrast in tone from which the show would evolve into. Far more gritty and serious and adult feeling. And in a way, I love that and wish this had continued further into the series. The plot sums up the "Modern day Robin Hoods" of the title song, with Bo and Luke stealing Sheriff Rosco's illegal slot machines (interesting that Rosco seems to be behind most of the plot, acting only as a proxy to Boss Hogg) and giving the money to the struggling orphanage. Plus one of the General's most iconic jumps (the first ever filmed) and featured in most versions of the opening credits. In my top three favourite episodes. 1. "Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough" A very interesting choice. An episode that sat on various incarnations of my "top ten episodes" list through the years; one that's been nudged off in recent years but is still a great instalment. Being a Brit, the name Cale Yarborough wasn't particularly recognised here, but none-the-less an extremely enjoyable tale. The Simon Brothers are great as the "generic villains of the week", and of course the highlight is the three General Lees (a concept that was recycled, with Santa Clauses, in the third season episode "The Great Santa Claus Chase"). The final jump is very memorable, too (kind of makes up for the shameless recycling of one of the show's greatest jumps, from season one's "Double Sting"). An episode I like a lot and may have to go back and revisit. ...Well, mini-essay on each of those there. I really should start that damned channel some year soon! :)

I have forgotten a lot of the episodes and didn't watch the whole series. But some of the favourites I remember: The Mean Green Machine stories, "A Baby for the Dukes", "Nothin' but the Truth" (one of the funniest), "The Haunting of JD Hogg", "Boss Behind Bars", "Birds Gotta Fly" and "Mrs Daisy Hogg". My favourite character was the narrator - I loved his voice, style of narration and humour - and it was the real reason I started watching the series.

The other little thing about Jimmy Best was that Jimmy took time off to film Hooper with Burt Reynolds

4:59 Bo hugging Luke, that's too adorable..😩❤️

My best memory is watching the dukes of Hazzard with my big brother my whole childhood

My favorites are High Octane, Days of Shine and Roses, Shine on Hazzard Moon, and Cool Hand Luke and Bo.

Cale Yarborough episode is definitely a favorite too. And well I just Love NASCAR, so it’s definitely cool to see a famous NASCAR driver in a Duke episode.

09:57 I think that inspired the GTA : SAN ANDREAS mission to save MADD DOGG

Tom wopat (Luke ) has said that the hoodslide was accidental because his foot got caught on the side of the general lee

Tom's first hoodslide almost took his arm off!!

I loved watching the Dukes of Hazard in the '80s. My whole family and I watched it, and I still have a General Lee ceramic car that was part of a lamp. But the topper was when my brother and I met Tom Wopat. He stopped in our little town for directions and he waved to my mom and shook my and my brother's hand. So. epic.

If anyone's interested Walmart started selling the entire series again... I picked it up a couple of days ago due to not being able to get S7 as that was always sold out or I started finding it being sold with S5 and 6 together and a couple of disks in S2 not working anymore. And S1 and 2 in it are not dual disks it's the regular one-sided disks.

Alright! The real Dukes of Hazzard!

Loved this list and such a nostalgic callback to THE best 1980s series.

Great review man. I got introduced to The Dukes Of Hazzard, playing the video games. Even if you don't play video games, it would be great to see your opinion on the video games of The Dukes Of Hazzard (Racing For Home, Daisy Dukes It Out, and Return Of The General Lee). It might be weird going from the show to a video game but, I do believe the video game versions did a better job with the presentation of the show compare to the movie. As a bonus, you should see the movies ThunderRoad 1958 and Moonrunners 1975. Supposedly, the movie Moonrunners, was the inspiration for the making of The Dukes Of Hazzard.

My favorite episode is Farewell To Hazzard. General Lee vs The Helicopter!

i saw the general lee at the bangor state fair. i don't know if it was the real one, but it was so awesome. love this show!

Fun fact on the episode "Too Many Roscos", Clancy Brown who plays Mr Krabs from Spongebob Squarepants appears in the episode as one of the bad guys the fake Rosco is associated with. I never knew Clancy was in an episode of Dukes.

Dude I forced myself to wait an extra day to watch your new review. You rock brother

"Looks like Charles Bronson" lol that's William Smith bro, legendary actor in his own right.

I like the Green Machine with Coy and Vance

I recently watched Season 2 all the way through and Jude Emery was one that really stuck out to me as different, the production seemed more theatrical and it had a grittiness that reminded me a lot of season 1. so when you mentioned that it was intended as a setup for another show that made things make more sense. As some on who loves Season 1, part of me wishes that the tone and direction of the show could have been more like Season 1 and Jude Emery all throughout

The first 5 are a lot more gritty and real. My favorite is High Octane.

Question: Does the movie Roadhouse actually take place in Hazzard County?? Or do I just think a Roadhouse/Dukes of Hazzard crossover would have been dope....

Fun fact about the episode "Happy Birthday General Lee" : the female villain in that episode who was an accomplice to the bank robbery was actually a rather popular country and western star at the time named Janie Fricke.

The Hazzard car race episode where Roscoe was using NO2 booster to go faster and Luke was racing in place of Cooter. Every other car crashed, including the token bad guys (“You ok??? No I died!”), leaving only Bo, Luke, and Roscoe( after his rough start when he took out the grandstand and sending Boss Hogg to the ground). Bo’s General’s transmission failed..., Luke blew his engine. Roscoe hit the booster and instead of jumping air-born over the finish line, ended up hitting Luke back into motion like a billiard ball. Bo got his car going in reverse at the same time, ending up in the Duke Boys in a tie! The whole race finale was hilarious....Roscoe was over the top! 😆😆😆😆 That was my favorite episode. Other good episodes... *Boss Hogg mistakenly told he had two weeks to live. *Boss accidentally gets a shot of truth serum.(“Oh my...what a homely baby!”) *Lulu Hogg gets kidnapped (The wild General Lee ride with her driving) *Enos gets the job in Los Angeles after catching hard core criminals *Dukes help bride to be hiding from her controlling father (Goodbye Yellow Roadrunner, Hello Dixie Jeep)

I used to own a Dukes of Hazzard car I would ride around the house when I was little and a General Lee toy car with tiny Bo and Luke action figures.

Good review man I love this show. I have every episode except season 5. Because of the dumb coy and Vance episodes, which I say don't happen. I also have the two reunion movies.My top 21 episodes 1.

I just now found this video. Excellent work!!! I am also a lofelong Dukes fan. I agree with your list. Although, One Armed Bandits might be #1. Thanks!

The actor who played snake was in another dukes episode as well. The great Hazzard hijack I believe.

11:14 - Add the Bandit too, and you got something.

My favorite episode is still high octane. The Georgia episodes are just so special to me. Anything after season 3ish is very hard to watch in my opinion. The first season holds up so well though

Yay an other top ten and congrats on 1k

r.i.p. cale yarbough

Awesome video

my favorite episodes ONE ARM BANDITS HIGH OCTANE DAISY'S SONG MARY KAYES BABY REPO MEN SWAMP MOLLY THE BIG HEIST DEPUTY DUKES PEOPLE'S CHOICE ARREST JESSE DUKE OFFICER DAISY DUKE THE GHOST OF THE GENERAL LEE HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENERAL LEE DR JEKYLL AND MR DUKE ROBOT P COLTRANE DOUBLE DUKES

Them guys are pretty small to jump in those windows, especially Luke diving in headfirst, I am 6'1 and can barely crawl in my 69s window, wouldn't even think about trying to dive in head first. Also the final jump... that car is far from destroyed look at my profile pic to see what mine looks like after a 100+mph collision

i would suggest "10 worst dukes episodes" but that would be horrifyingly difficult and if i were you i wouldn't put myself through the pain of labeling a dukes of hazzard episode as bad

For me Nearly all the episodes of the dukes is my favorites..Its just so hard to pick with lovable characters, great car chases, best moments with the dukes And with Boss and rosco and some of the wholesome and serious topics they have! but... if i have to choose..it'll have to be 1: Dukes meet Cale Yarbrough 2: baa baa white sheep 3: One armed bandits 4: Happy birthday General Lee 5: ghost of general lee 6: 10 million dollar Sheriff 7: Too Many Roscos 8: Welcome back Bo 'n' luke 9: High octane 10: Enos strate to the top

Wonder how many can remember the episode when Daisy Duke lost her Yellow Roadrunner off Kissing Cliffs while Bo and Luke were Racing it and the General Lee....

I think coy and Vance did get shafted . I think the show creators could have took a huge negative and turned it into a positive . They should have kept coy and Vance on , After bo and Luke returned. Then coy and Vance side with boss Hogg out of jealousy , resentment or whatever. Boss gets them their own car to rival the General . Then when the Dukes have a show down , bo and Luke win out by barely the skin of their teeth. Then the last season episode they are on can be a redemption tyke storyline where coy and Vance realize the error of their ways . Just sadly the writing and long term storytelling was not breaking bad or sons of anarchy levels LOL. With that said , still a great show.

Fuck Yeah, Bruh!

Personally my favorite is The Ghost of the General Lee

All of those episodes were good, but you missed The Carnival of Thrills. It was an action packed episode which was one of only 2 2-part episodes in the series.

U should review the two reunion movies too.

Dukescam Scam, Duke vs. Duke

Know I have to watch this movie

The Original STAR TREK used the same ole bad guys over and over also but I often asked why. ?

Have you watched the cartoons of dukes of Hazzard

Good Job, BTW

how do you feel about season 5 ?

I can't believe that the pilot episode was not the number one episode. I mean really. It shouldve been. Smh.

Trigger Alert: PC Millennials don't watch it. It will make you like it and that will confuse your reality...

👍👍

DAMN NEAR EVERY 1980's SHOWS TRIED WAY TOO HARD TO MAKE ROBIN MATTSON INTO A SEX SYMBOL

First? Yay Luke in here again
