Episodes
Season 1 (1979)
The first season of The Dukes of Hazzard was originally supposed to be a short CBS special filmed in Covington, Georgia. However, after the first five episodes when the crew went on Christmas break, Warner Brothers offered them a sound stage in California, and the show became a seven-year journey.
As the show started, it had some fairly coarse language and grown-up comments, but as the season ended it became more family oriented.
