Editorial Review:

The Dukes of Hazzard settled into a comfortable run in season 2. The show, originally shot on location in Covington, Georgia, was now permanently produced on a backlot in Burbank, California. While a couple of cast members (Ben Jones, who plays mechanic Cooter Davenport, and James Best, who portrays Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane) briefly boycotted the series in its second year (ushering in a parade of brief replacements, including Mickey Jones of the New Christy Minstrels, Dick Sargent of Bewitched, and James Hampton of F Troop), the actors relaxed into their now thoroughly cartoonish characters.

What else can one say: The General Lee, the souped-up '69, orange Dodge Charger that belongs to cousins Bo (John Schneider) and Luke (Tom Wopat) Duke, has a full tank and is ready to ride. The Duke boys, scions of a proud--though reformed--moonshining family, are still on probation with the law but continue to root out the criminal schemes of diminutive villain Boss Hogg (Sorrell Brooke) and his Wile E. Coyote-like lackey, Sheriff Coltrane. Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle) is still a fount of grizzled wisdom as well as Boss Hogg's old whiskey-running nemesis. Cousin Daisy (Catherine Bach) still burns up the road with her short-shorts, and Coltrane's deputies Enos (Sonny Shroyer) and Cletus (Rick Hurst) remain idiots with an edge of sympathy. Season 2 highlights include a funny fan favorite called "The Ghost of General Lee" (also co-star Schneider's favorite episode), in which Bo and Luke are assumed to have drowned when their stolen car ends up at the bottom of a pond. Hearing that Boss Hogg plans to blame them anyway for a theft they didn't commit, the Duke boys haunt him and Coltrane with apparitions of the General Lee as a "ghost." NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough makes an appealing guest in a story about the development of a secret turbo charger and Hogg's effort to steal it, while Loretta Lynn turns up as herself in a damsel-in-distress tale, featuring the country superstar as a kidnapped hostage. "Witness for the Persecution" introduces a recurring theme on Dukes: Occasions in which the vile Hogg must be protected from his enemies by hiding out with (gasp) the Dukes. The best of The Complete Second Season, however, may be "Days of Shine and Roses," in which Hogg and Uncle Jesse, after watching a film of their old moonshine-delivery exploits with the Ridge Runners Association, get into an argument about who was best and decide to resolve the question with a grudge race. Special features include Wopat and Schneider's screen tests, and a documentary about the Dukes' 25th anniversary festival in Tennessee, featuring series stars and stunt drivers. --Tom Keogh

4 out of 5 stars Just good fun.......2007-04-25

I looked forward to Friday nights at 8 all week long when I was a boy. I was a fan then and I actually think that in some ways I even enjoy it more now that I can share it with my family. I do think that I enjoyed season three better. However, if your looking for car crashing, tire smoking, predictability and just entertaining family fun you can't go wrong. That is of course until the coy and vance disaster.

5 out of 5 stars Entertainment at its best.......2007-03-10

Like all the other seasons of "The Dukes of Hazzard" this one is just pure entertainment at its best.These lovable characters with their exiting adventures,that awesome car and the humour make this TV show to something very special.It's a must see.
I only hope that the two reunion movies will also be released on DVD very soon,because I just can't get enough of "The Dukes of Hazzard".
A tip for all people who loves the show as much as I do:If you really are a fan of the original TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard" than go and watch John 'Bo Duke` Schneider`s new movie "Collier & Co - Hot Pursuit" which is currently running in a couple of cinemas for only a short time.It's not called "The Dukes" but it has humour,an awesome '69 Dodge Charger,really hot car stuff,brain and heart and it's entertainment at its best.You'll love it!!!

5 out of 5 stars First full season of Rosco as a permanant dipstick!.......2007-02-24

Season 2 from the get go on "Days of Shine and Rose" features Rosco as the bumbling dipstick that stayed consistent till the end. Although this is 5 stars, I am rating it because I am a diehard fan through the end of season 4 before the train came to a hault. Of the 4 glory years....season 2 has a few of the BEST episodes, but also a handful of the WORST. Highlights were the one with "Days of Shine and Rose" and "Ghost of General Lee." Lowlights were the ones with Rosco being replaced by the likes of Sheriff Grady Bird. Plenty of hot chicks to go along with Daisy as well in some of the episodes which you saw less of in later years. The cast is irreplaceable and whenever they have "holdouts", the show suffers. Rosco and Boss Hogg's chemistry is imperative for the shows slapstick humor.It's a must own for diehards who watched friday nights till after season 4 when "The Boys" were replaced by Coy and Vance. I'd make season 2 the "fourth purchase" after season 1,3,4.

5 out of 5 stars Go Dukes of Hazzard .......2007-02-10

I love this show and will enjoy it for many years to come.
