If you ever noticed while watching the "Dukes of Hazzard" most of the stunt scenes were "re-runs". There are close to 150 episodes, and each one has some sort of stunt in it with the "General Lee" flying up in the air, riding on two wheels, etc. Very few Chargers however were actually destroyed, because they initally filmed stunt shots of the car perfoming whatever it was, and then used the library of stunt shots to assemble the story.
The exception to this however was the Police cars. As the show got newer, so did the police cars. Most of the shots of Roscoe messing up a police car were actually unique to the particular episode.
What I *DO* like about the Dukes however was that it was a good, well-written TV show that the entire family could watch and enjoy. Yes, there was a little bit of violence in the form of fistfights, but gunsshots never hit a person. There was no cussing or swearing, and the storylines were pretty simple "good prevails over evil" type.
When it comes to Spike TV, they ought to just call the station "stupid TV". I have yet to see anything on that station that really has any redeeming quality in it. I mean, even daytime soap operas on the "big three" at least have some sort of plot, but the stuff on that station seems to be there just for a cheap laugh, or for a "shock and awe" factor. I'm not quite sure who's laughing though, because most of the stuff is just so absurd you wonder why anyone would even watch in the first place
