BUY Rebel Flags For SaleThe Dukes of Hazzard Still Ride
For anyone who grew up in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Friday nights meant one thing: Bo and Luke Duke tearing down the back roads of Hazzard County in the General Lee. The Dukes of Hazzard ran on CBS from 1979 to 1985 and became one of the most popular shows on television.
The show was simple, good-natured fun. The Duke boys were always one step ahead of Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, Uncle Jesse dispensed country wisdom, Daisy kept everyone in line, and the General Lee, an orange 1969 Dodge Charger with the battle flag painted on its roof, flew over creeks and barns in nearly every episode.
Why Fans Want More
In 2015, Warner Bros. stopped licensing toys and merchandise showing the General Lee with its famous roof flag, and the show was pulled from some reruns. For fans, that felt like an attack on a piece of their childhood. The Dukes were never about politics. They were about family, loyalty, fast cars and outsmarting crooked officials.
That is why memes like this one keep popping up. Fans across the country, not just in the South, still want more Dukes of Hazzard, and many have built their own General Lee replicas to keep the spirit alive.
