The Dukes of Hazzard is a American television series that originally aired on the CBS television network from 1979 to 1985. It was directed by Jack Starrett ( 1979), following on from Starsky and Hutch ( 1975). Starrett went on to direct Hill Street Blues ( 1981). The show was loosely based on the movie Moonrunners ( 1975), and followed the adventures of two southern good ol' boys Bo and Luke Duke living in an unincorporated area of the fictional Hazzard County, Georgia in their souped-up car the General Lee, as they evaded corrupt Boss Hogg and his inept county Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane.
Daisy Duke (portrayed by actress Catherine Bach) has the distinction of having her trademark provocatively high-cut jean short shorts named after her.
Although Hazzard County, Georgia was a fictional location, the real-life town of Hazard, Kentucky was a beneficiary of the show's popularity. Members of the cast were frequent visitors to the town's annual Black Gold Festival.
