Hazzard County Royalty Explained

“Dukes of Hazzard was broadcast from 1979–1985. It was a CBS show, though I only ever saw it in daytime syndication. Bo and Luke Duke were semi-reformed and basically law-abiding bootleggers with feathered Farrah Fawcett hair; their Uncle Jesse was an old Georgia moonshiner who wore overalls and never drank… The Duke boys constantly ran afoul of Boss Hogg, who was the corrupt county commissioner and in his white suit looked like Tom Wolfe with a gland disorder. He had many inept and crooked deputies at his disposal. (Someone had a beagle, but I’m not going to look up who.) The Duke boys’ only weapons were their compound bows and dynamite-tipped arrows, with which they blew up a lot of empty warehouses. They drove an orange Dodge Charger, with which they were constantly required to jump over the county’s many rivers. The Charger — nicknamed the General Lee — had a hand-painted Confederate flag on its hood.”
