This is a brand new, factory sealed DVD set of THE DUKES OF HAZZARD: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON. It's the original DVD set released by Warner Entertainment and comes in its original case, still sealed.
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. 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.
