I can not believe that this is happing so wonderfully fast, only Three Seasons remaining and only 61 episodes out of the total 145 episodes. Fantastic.

It is with great thanks to Warner Brothers, who has released three season sets of the DUKES OF HAZZARD in one year (2005) alone, for providing the fans with these DVDs at such a rapid pace. It is with great hope that Seasons 5 - 7 are released just as quickly, along with the reunion movies, the "Enos" series and the "Dukes of Hazzard" cartoon series.

Season 4, as with all the DUKES releases, are of the utmost quality...clear picture, great sound and awesome packaging! I truly believe that the DUKES sets are the best packaged TV on DVD sets that I own. There are 9 single-sided discs here, each with a picture of a cast member or the General Lee on them!

The extra features are great...I was laughing along with John Schneider, Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach during their commentary for the episode "Double Dukes." Great stuff! The featurette is nicely done as well, with more interviews of the cast and series creator Gy Waldron. But man, Tom Wopat wasn't too friendly when speaking of the Coy and Vance characters who replaced him and Schneider shortly during the 5th season!

Season 4 is another great collection of episodes. I began to look over the episode list for this season and found there are too many highlights to mention. This season came at the height of DUKES-mania, and I never tire of watching it. It's great fun, clean and harmless. I enjoyed it as a child and still enjoy it in my late '20s!

It's also great to see Boss Hogg on the cover...let's hope more cast members make the cover of the box in future releases.

Greatly awaiting Seasons 5 through 7. Thanks, Warner!

Thank you Warner Brothers for releasing one of the most fun to watch shows in the history of television. I have all three seasons to date and the two movies when they came out on video. It is refreshing to be able to watch a show such as this without all of the colorful language that many of today's TV shows seem to possess for one reason or another. I look forward to seeing the upcoming release dates of seasons 5 to 7 and I do hope that Enos the complete series is not too far behind. The Dukes of Hazzard is one show that one never gets tired of watching and the word "boring" is not in this show's vocabulary. I also own the complete cartoon series (The Dukes) and it is just as fun to watch as the live action series. Again, THANK YOU WARNER BROTHERS for a suberb job well done.

I just picked up season 4 of "The Dukes of Hazzard"..I paid an amazing $26.58 at Wal-Mart for it.. How can you beat that price for a 9 Disc set!!!! Props to Warner Bros for the low price.. I have NEVER seen a 9 disc set of a TV show for that low of a price. One would think that this set should be around $50.00..
Ok, now on to the review. This DVD set has awesome packing. I love the cd labels! Each disc has each character on it. The last disc has the General Lee! Props again to WBs for a great package..

As to the content of the season. Season 4 is awesome.. My favorite episodes are The 2 part "10 Million Dollar Sheriff" and "Goodbye General Lee". However, every episode here is a gem..

Also, the bonus feature "The Dukes Story: Building A Legend" is great..

If you even like the Dukes a little bit, go buy this set! You will not be disappointed..

Thanks for a great release Warner Bros!!! You have made me one happy Dukes Fan!!!!

During the 1981-82 season which was shortly delayed for some shows due to a writers' strike,there was some turmoil between the two stars,Tom Wopat and John Schneider. Not rivalry,but their lack of royalty payments for Dukes games,toys and other memorabilia that was selling like hotcakes all over America and a few countries outside America between 1980 and '82. The toys include action figures bearing the likenesses of Wopat and Schneider. Their contracts indicated that they would receive royalty payments for sales of Dukes memorabilia. When that didn't happen,Wopat and Schneider walked out on the Dukes Of Hazzard. However,the two stars returned to DOH in early 1983. There were a few slight changes in the opening and closing montages this season. Schneider is in a different personal scene(in the opener) and a new version of the closing theme. Sonny Shroyer is still out although his spinoff Enos got the Nielsen axe in the spring of 1981. With Boss's cousin Cletus Hogg(Rick Hurst) as Hazzard County's deputy still,Enos was not needed. Daisy(Catherine Bach),Uncle Jesse(the late Denver Pyle),Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg(the late Sorrell Booke) and sheriff Roscoe Coltrane(James Best) are no different then they were before. Roscoe still has his basset hound Flash("velvet ears") and Cooter Davenport(Ben Jones) is still running his service station with a clean shaven face. I incorrectly mentioned in the review for the season 3 set that Cletus was Boss Hogg's nephew. When season 5 comes out,viewers will see two new stars filling the places of Wopat and Schneider. Not only that,viewers will see the original stars' triumphant return.

First, to all who write this, I am a HUGE Dukes fan. I have loved the show for so long. Now that the show has come out on DVD, I am very happy. As of this writing, I am roughly half way through the 4th season. To me, this seems to be the best season out of all 7. After this season, John Schnedier and Tom wopat decided to leave the show(albeit temporarily). So this season was big for both men.

The episodes are incredibly clear to look at on your TV screen. I give credit to Warner Bros. for the impeccable quality. Another terrific feature is that there are 9 separate discs. No more double DVD discs.

But the best feature is the show itself. The humor is good in places, and very good in others. It is a comedy and should be looked at it as such. Some people were offended by the Rebel flag on the General Lee. To me, this gave the car an identity that makes it stand out from the other characters. Other reviews have mentioned that this is one of the last shows to sit down and watch with the family. Absolutely right! This show, to me, is the by-product of a bygone era.

Terrific purchase if you decide or are thinking about buying the set. As mentioned, definitely the best season of the entire series!

One note of mention, I beleive it was John Schnedier who decided to criticize and downplay the men who played Coy and Vance in Season 5 especially when it came to the men being cast in the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie(in the extra feautres section). Very surprised to hear Mr. Schnedier say this. But I understood where he was coming from. John Schnedier, Tom Wopat, and the cast made this show one to remember. CBS had a wonderful hit, and the DVD will make you relive it every time you watch an episode.

BTW, if you are thinking of or going to see the movie, you will be disappointed. The movie is such a far cry from the original series, it is sad. Sometimes, it is best not to mess with an original classic! Thank you Warner Bros. for an american classic.

I love this show! Season 4 is certainly one of the best seasons. Boss Hogg and Rosco are a great comedy double-act. All episodes this season are fun with Boss and Rosco providing alot of laughter! It's great Warner have put the episodes this season on single-sided discs.

I'm looking forward to season 5 even though Bo and Luke appear only in the last few episodes, we still have Boss, Rosco, Daisy, etc. in some great episodes with Coy and Vance.

I hope Warner Home Video releases "The Dukes" cartoon series on DVD.

Wow just got my copy of The Dukes of Hazzrd season 4(I have not finished season 3 yet!)I'm glad Warner went with single sided discs this time as I'm not a fan of flippers.This is a great show I hope season 5 will be out soon my guess is the same day as The new movie hits DVD.I know season 5? The Coy and Vance year,well I want that season too as I have not seen all The Coy and Vance episodes.Any way Warner is doing a great job with The Dukes of Hazzrd DVD's and the shows are uncut.I wonder if Warner had to pay some big bucks for the Country music stars that appeared in some episodes to sing to get out of paying there speeding tickets from Rosco and Boss?I know releasing TV shows with music on DVD is very expenive.That's why show's like Wonder Years has not seen a DVD release yet.Well any way if you're a Dukes fan and have not bought season 4 yet,well what are you waiting for? Cant wait to get 5-7 to have the whole Dukes collection on DVD and the two TV movies and the new Movie.

If only for the appearance of Jonathan Frakes (of "Star Trek: The Next Generation") as a clean-shaven young'un who falls for Daisy in "Mrs. Daisy Hogg," or Rosco and his garish rhinestone outfits in "10 Million Dollar Sheriff," this season rates high. Denver Pyle directs a few episodes, and James Best even takes his turn. This might have been the greatest "maturing" season for the show, before our two boys took off for part of a season.

This the the Apex of the Dukes of Hazzard TV series. They reach perfection as the charecters are finally perfected and the show reachers its stride. Also this the last season of musical guest stars (with only one that I know of in the last three seasons) and there are quite a few, even a Johnny paycheck who looks like he has no idea where he is at or that he should be singing.
By the last episode of this season the charecters are all that they ever will be or could be. The conversation between Roscoe and Boss when they are stuffing stolen cerdit cards in the door of Roscoe's patrol car says it all. After this season it still a good show, but it's still a downhill ride from here. A great season!
