Comment on The Dukes of Hazard (CBS) 1979 -1985 was a good family show? Yes or No and Why?

I would agree with you, except the flag.
I loved hogan’s heroes, now imagine the whole cast stood up and pledged allegiance to the nazi flag every episode.
People have a right to be offended by that flag, I kind of am, but I also agree that’s really the only problem, otherwise it’s actually fine, that and the name.
Still, would we be having this conversation if it was the nazi flag (which it basically is, both stood for the same thing)?

Agree and the flag was just kind of there. Don’t really remember dialog in the episodes discussing the flag although I was young.
So when it comes to dialog the Dukes didn’t promote an ideology just reflected a southern flavor on family life.
But even though the Confederate flag is offensive to many this still isn’t reason for the blacklisting of the show outside of DVD sales.

Blacklisting? Probably not.
People generally being pissed about it? Oh definitely.
