The Dukes Of Hazzard : Chase From 1st Episode

[@scottedge4388]

The first time we see Rosco chasing the boys on screen. Truly an historic moment. And yes, the five "pilot" episodes are the best ones. It looked more like rural Georgia because it actually was rural Georgia.

[@RubberTheRedneck]

The first 5 are the ones I truly think are the perfect ones. Others ones I just tolerate

[@bobbymoore4023]

I too think the first five episodes are the best you can watch that's when it was it's rust and it was it's funniest if you ask me they shouldn't have changed the thing they should have moved it to a more adult type Network

[@rustyshacklefordrefined5756]

Not only the setting, but the writing. I like how the Duke Boys were like Robin Hood’s as opposed to just trying to clear their names from real criminals.

[@PittsburghMarky]

Brilliant observation and agreed! The first five episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard were the finest theatrical productions known to mankind!

[@PittsburghMarky]

@@RubberTheRedneck I know.

[@deadreckoning6288]

The first season was the best, really raw and had a bit of an edge. They had to tone it down in later seasons as it became so popular with the kids. Still it was my all time favorite show.

[@PittsburghMarky]

I have loved this show since Jan. 26, 1979, when as a 7-year-old trying to stay away from the babysitter to go to bed it came on. And I was absolutely transfixed from the very start. But even at 8-years-old I remember saying "I wish they'd go back to the acoustic guitar in the opening. The episodes were better then."

[@johnmcdonald587]

I love how Roscoe's car changed from a Polara to a Monaco and back again in the same chase.

[@johnmurrin9734]

[@smokeygamer7574]

I liked how they kept changing roscoes cars in every episode of season 1 😂 then when season 2 came out they just started using Plymouth fury’s instead

general lee is better then that glorified soccer mom mobile, you also forget it produces only 625 to the wheels, and weighs a fuck ton there for effective less powerful then the general lee which in show has well over 500 HP, in show lore that is.

@@Shade_tree_garage01 They used any charger they could find didn't matter if it was 318 383 440 etc if it was a 69 or even 68 they would use it.

[@dodgeking9194]

No ones saying the hellcats aren't powerful because they sure are. The hellcats marks the first time in Mopar's (and technically speaking Mopar isn't even an American company anymore anyway) history where there are factory installed superchargers on large cubic inch v8's Hellcats make that power mainly because of SUPERCHARGING If it wasn't for that they would not make the power they make. And with that being said EVEN still they cant touch the original Charger in terms of overall class and desirability. Don't believe me? drive a hellcat down the street and watch everyone yawn. Drive a classic Charger down the street and people are pulling out phones taking pictures asking questions at every traffic light.

I couldn't wait till Friday night to climb up on the stool at the kitchen bar facing the TV and pretending I was driving the general Lee,then BJ and the bear or sheriff lobo or movin on or something came on after the dukes and I transformed into truck driver looking over the hood of my big Peterbilt, I mean the kitchen bar and inspired me to become a truck driver but it was nothing like BJ and the bear,he was getting 1.00/ mile in the 70s we were getting.85 / mile in the 90s and quit after 10 years or so.

Hands down probably my favorite chase in the whole series. I also liked this look of the General. With the darker saddle interior, the crossed flags right in front of the cb antenna and most importantly, the narrower push bar. For some reason the wider one used on the cars after they quit filming in Georgia never looked right to me.

[@speakfreeley4473]

First season was easily the best. Georgia locations were actually used, explained why Roscoe went from being an honest cop to a crooked one, Enos was a more sympathetic character towards the Dukes, & no stock footage used. That started coming after that season so by the end chases & crashes were mostly from that. In a way fortunate as it stopped more Dodge Chargers from being wrecked, though the number they got through was still quite high (up to 300 rough guess). Also spotted in this the various patrol cars Roscoe was using. 1970 Dodge Polara, 1974 Dodge Monaco, 1974-75 Plymouth Gran Fury.

[@then.w.o4414]

They could have chosen any number of late 60's to early 70's muscle cars. Now its easy to see that no other car besides the Charger could have been the choice. However when it comes down to it the Charger has a history of racing and performance that traced right to nascar. Just the stance of the Charger is like no other car The 1968-70 Chargers represent themselves quite well even in todays technical age there will never be another car that looks that good
