My favorite television show as a child was The Dukes of Hazzard, and you can imagine my surprise a few decades later, when looking through a family videotape, I found that the 5 year old version of me had recorded an episode of a Dukes cartoon spin-off that I didn’t even remember existing.
Now, the Warner Archive is dipping into its… erm, archives… and bringing this animated series to DVD. In bringing out the DVD, though, they also have recruited my favorite actor from the show, James Best (sorry, Mr. Schneider) to personally autograph the first 400 DVD’s that are pre-ordered.
There’s a limit of one autographed copy per customer, but it’s a great chance to have an autograph from an acting legend whose career spans through many decades of film and TV.
You can order your copy exclusively from WBShop.com. It will not be available in stores. I’m personally rooting for this to sell well, because if The Dukes does well, maybe the Dukes spin-off Enos could finally see the light of day again.
Here’s how they describe the animated series, by the way:
In this fondly remembered animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios, Bo, Luke and Daisy Duke take their high-wheelin’ country cruisin’ around the world in a race against Boss Hogg for the family farm. No joshin’ – the Dukes speed through France, Italy, Austria, Greece, England – you name it, the General Lee made tracks there! En route, Boss Hogg pulls the nastiest tricks ever, like blinding the boys with a fog machine, having them kidnapped and tricking them into a jewel heist. Why, that Hogg’s as crooked as a dog’s hind leg! But that won’t stop the Dukes from fighting a fair fight and teaching that cheat a few tricks along the way. Y’all need to catch this 4-Disc, 20-Episode Complete Animated Series Collection from the time the pedal hits the metal all the way to the finish line!
