The Great Insurance Fraud

The Fifth Season is worthy!
Yes, 5 stars. There has simply never been another show on television like THE DUKES OF HAZZARD...and I doubt we will ever see something in its style again. But just because John Schneider and Tom Wopat ("Bo and Luke Duke") are absent on just about every episode of this season, doesn't mean that I will wait longer to purchase it.

In hindsight, the introduction of "Coy and Vance Duke" into the storyline wasn't the great disaster it was in 1982. Schneider and Wopat walk off the show to strike over issues related to merchandise royalties, and the show clamors to hire two new individuals to fill the huge gap. Granted, the replacement cousins were no Bo and Luke, but hey, the character of Coy (played by Byron Cherry) was quite likeable and down-home like, and the change in roles allowed the show to experiment a little.

Rick Hurst ("Deputy Cletus") stayed on the show as Sonny Shroyer ("Deputy Enos") returns from his failed spin-off series, and it's great that we have...

Warner Bros. continues to do a GREAT job with these "The Dukes of Hazzard" season box sets. Each time the content and extras are great, the price point is VERY reasonable (especially now that the sets consist of 8-9 single-sided discs each) and the release schedule is surprisingly swift! As I'm sure all of you know, this is the season where Bo and Luke were temporarily replaced by Coy and Vance. I don't think anyone seriously thought that Warner would skip this season for fear of it being less popular for that very reason, but anyone who really was concerned about there being a gaping hole in their collection can now lay those fears to rest.

I remember seeing some of these episodes first-run, and as I recall there were some good ones thrown in the lot despite the absence of Schneider and Wopat. Besides, they both returned to the show for the last few episodes of the season, so it is not totally devoid of them. Any Coy and Vance haters had best remember that, as...

The Coy And Vance Season
This is the 5th installment of the Dukes Of Hazzard season series on dvd in which Bo And Luke Persue an oppurtinity of a life long dream to race the Nascar circuit (Actually a contract dispute with Warner Brothers) Enter Coy and Vance Duke to save the 5th Season from going down the toilet. I Have to admit that i'm more of a Bo And Luke fan myself but,if not for the Coy And Vance Episodes this season might have ended the running of the series.As for the Episodes they are actually pretty good and worth the purchase and would watch them several times each, The Season 5 package consists of 22 episodes on 8 dvd's with lots of extras & includes episodes #87 through #108 with Bo And Luke returning for the final 4 episodes of season 5 #105 through #108.
