This is a list of episodes for the 1979-1985 CBS action-adventure/comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard. The show ran for seven seasons and a total of 147 episodes. Many of the episodes followed a similar structure: "out-of-town crooks pull a robbery, Duke boys blamed, spend the rest of the hour clearing their names, the General Lee flies and the squad cars crash". Also, almost every episode would begin with the Duke boys driving along in the General Lee, whether running an errand or just out on a leisurely drive, and inadvertently stumbling upon one of the sheriff's speed traps.
In the series pilot, cousins Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke (Tom Wopat) two good ol' boys of Hazzard County ended up driving around in the General Lee, their orange 1969 Dodge Charger along with their hot cousin Daisy Duke. Bo and Luke ended up hijacking a truckload of illegal slot machines and use the proceeds to help save the orphanage and ensure Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane's (James Best) re-election for Sheriff in Hazzard County.
