Cousins Bo and Luke Duke (John Schneider and Tom Wopat) spent each episode trying to do good, while the loveable “Boss” Hogg (Sorrell Booke) concocted various schemes for making money and having the Duke boys, who always foiled his plans, thrown in jail for violating their probation (the result of a deal with the federal government to end the centuries-old Duke family tradition of bootlegging).

Joining Bo and Luke are their Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle), a grandfatherly figure who owns the family farm, and Cousin Daisy (Catherine Bach), whose skimpy shorts coined the cultural term “daisy dukes”. Along with “Crazy” Cooter (Ben Jones), the local mechanic, they create a formidable threat to the money-making shenanigans of Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (James Best) and the owner of seemingly every business entity in Hazzard County, J.D. “Boss” Hogg. But critics will argue that the true star of the show was the General Lee, Bo and Luke’s bright orange Dodge race car with the Confederate flag pasted on its roof…

The Dukes of Hazzard DVD offers a number of famous episodes, including the series premiere “One-Armed Bandits,” source of the video clips that would appear in the opening sequence of the show for much of its duration. Other notable episodes include “High Octane” in which Jesse Duke outsmarts Boss and Roscoe in his quest to win the government’s alternative fuel contest, and “Route 7-11″ in which Bo and Luke unwittingly become part of an illegal gambling ring until Jesse comes to save the day. Also included on the first season Dukes of Hazzard DVD are The 20th Anniversary Hazzard County Barbecue documentary including John Schneider and Catherine Bach, Dukes Driving 101: A High-Octane Salute including interviews with professional racecar drivers, and The Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee video game preview…

Although iPod has no trouble moving music from your computer to iPod with iTunes, the reverse is prohibited. If you don’t use iPod Transfer Software, you won’t be allowed to download your iPod content to an additional PC. This issue frequently occurs when people get a new computer or have to install the OS on their old personal computer. Apple forbids this action because it does not want unauthorised sharing of bought music from the iTunes shop. Nevertheless, there are a plethora of reasonable scenarios that iPod users need the power to transmit from iPod to PC. If a PC crashes and you need to reinstall the operating system, you may need iPod to PC copy software to retrieve your valuable data files. Differently, the clean installation of iTunes will wipe your iPod, potentially costing you $100’s of dollars in unrecoverable music. Another common situation iPod owners call for these types of software packages is when they get a new machine and wish to transfer their existing library of iPod music and videos on the new machine. Over Again, if you do not install this type of package, you could possibly lose your valuable songs. You can find many companies that offer up computer programs to accomplish this project. A fast visit to software download websites will reveal a bunch of picks. You might also just type in ‘iPod to personal computer transfer software’ into your favorite search engine.
