This show ran in a time period that was perfect for me to love it. I was 8 when it debuted. I loved fast cars and short shorts were starting to make an impact!
The show had a uniqueness to it despite it's generic story lines week after week. Criminals come to Hazzard (small town Georgia must be a really good target), Duke boys get into trouble, Duke boys sniff out criminals, Duke boys chase criminals while being chased by Roscoe. Duke boys catch and expose criminals everyone celebrates. It was almost Scooby Doo like in it's plotting, but it worked!
The characters were fun and well played. Bo and Luke Duke were definitely not the same guy and Wopat and Schneider did a good job of playing the characters differently enough to make that stick. The supporting characters were fun and well played led by Denver Pyle's Uncle Jesse. Roscoe P. Coltrane, Boss Hogg, Cooter the mechanic and Cousin Daisy did their part to keep things fun and interesting.
Clearly, the best things about the show were the car chases and Waylon Jennings' narration which always kept the viewer interested heading into the commercial break. Definitely one of my favorite childhood shows! The movie sure sucked!
