How to watch

The Dukes of Hazzard was a CBS action comedy about two good ol' boy cousins in rural Hazzard County, Georgia. With car jumps, country narration from Waylon Jennings and the bumbling Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, it became a pop culture phenomenon. The show inspired a cartoon, two reunion TV movies, a 2005 feature film and a prequel.
