5.0 out of 5 stars The Fifth Season is worthy!, December 4, 2005

This review is from: The Dukes of Hazzard: The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)

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 both deputies on several of this season's early shows until Hurst finally departs. Secondly, the comedic talents of "Boss Hogg" (Sorrell Booke) and "Sheriff Rosco" (James Best) are second to none in the fifth season, as the two really stepped it up to ease the absence of Schneider and Wopat. The two really carry the weight of the season, and they do it hillariously!

Not only that, but one of the best episodes of the show's entire run, "Witness: Jesse Duke", shows the great talent of Denver Pyle ("Uncle Jesse"), and the chemistry of the "new Dukes" finally gels within the storyline and with the rest of the cast, only to be gone in the next episode.

Otherwise, the stories found in this season are very good, and afterall, Bo and Luke do return towards the end. In fact, another unique element here is the episode "Welcome Back, Bo & Luke", which features Bo, Luke, Coy and Vance on screen all together in this episode only.

A big thanks to Warner Brothers for continuing to release THE DUKES OF HAZZARD sets on DVD. Another thanks to Warner for making these single-sided discs (at an unbeatable price). Now if Warner would only re-release the first 3 seasons with the single-sided configuration!

This review is from: The Dukes of Hazzard: The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)

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 boycotting this season will cost them a few Bo and Luke episodes.

Only two more seasons remain before we will be able to own the entire series in its' original, uncut format! That will all but render the chopped-up CMT airings obsolete.

This review is from: The Dukes of Hazzard: The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)

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. Here below is the episode list for season 5 w/original airdates found on tvtome.com #87 The New Dukes 9/24/82 #88 Dukes Strike It Rich 10/1/82 #89 Lawman Of The Year 10/8/82 #90 Coy Meets Girl 10/15/82 #91 The Hazzardgate Tape 10/22/82 #92 Big Daddy 10/29/82 #93 Vance's Lady 11/5/82 #94 Hazzard Hustle 11/12/82 #95 Enos In Trouble 11/19/82 #96 The Great Insurance Fraud 11/26/82 #97 A Little Game Of Pool 12/3/82 #98 The Treasure Of Soggy Marsh 12/10/82 #99 The Revenge Of Hughie Hogg 12/17/82 #100 The Return Of The Mean Green Machine 1/7/83 #101 Ding Dong.The Boss Is Dead 1/21/83 #102 Coy Vs Vance 2/4/83 #103 Comrade Duke 2/11/83 #104 Witness Jesse Duke 2/18/83 #105 Welcome Back Bo n Luke 2/25/83 #106 Big Brothers Duke 3/4/83 #107 Farewell Hazzard 3/11/83 #108 Daisy's Shotgun Wedding 3/25/83
