The Dukes of Hazzard: The Unofficial Companion Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Dukes Of Hazzard: The Unofficial Companion is an excellent, well researched book on the classic TV series of 1979-1985. Everything you want to know about the show is all here: from cast and crew interviews, along with bundles of information, and great pictures, this book has it all. It also includes a section on the 1997 TV reunion movie, and even has a section on how to build your own General Lee, the Dukes' trusted 1969 Dodge Charger! Author David Hofstede did a wonderful job on this book which I think should have been called The Official Companion, because it really reads like one. It even includes a foreword written by Daisy Duke herself, actress Catherine Bach. For an Unofficial Companion, this book is just a great read page by page! To all fans of the Dukes of Hazzard TV series, I highly recommend this book!
There's also the upcoming second reunion TV movie, "The Dukes Of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood" on the CBS network to be aired on May 19th, so don't miss it! I wonder if they'll publish an updated edition of this book to include this new TV reunion film?

Following in the successful wake of The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres, The Dukes of Hazzard debuted in January 1979 and quickly became a staple of CBS-TV's Friday night lineup. With its wild mix of wacky car chases and spectacular vehicle wrecks, bumbling sheriffs, greedy politicians, and its rambunctious lead players (the Duke boys and curvaceous Daisy Duke), it's little wonder the program developed such a strong and loyal viewership. This is the first book devoted to the genesis and production of the hit program, tracing its 1970s origin through to its recent, highly-rated "reunion" movie on CBS-TV. The author conducted extensive interviews with cast and technical talent to explore this beloved show - revealing for the first time many behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the week-to-week filming of the series.In this lively and factual presentation of the long-running TV series (1979-85), no trivia point is left unanswered about the amazing clan of Dukes and their colorful nemeses Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and Boss Hogg.
