The Dukes
Description:
The Dukes, a 1983 Saturday-morning cartoon series by Hanna-Barbera, features the Duke cousins and Daisy Duke racing around the world against Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane for prize money to save the family farm. The series was produced while the original Dukes of Hazzard actors were on strike, so the first half featured Coy and Vance Duke, while the latter half brought back Bo and Luke. Boss Hogg schemes to cheat and stop the Dukes at every turn during their travels.
Premise: The Duke family is racing around the world to win a large sum of prize money to save their farm from Boss Hogg.
Antagonists: Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane are the main antagonists, constantly trying to cheat and sabotage the Dukes.
Cast Changes: Due to a strike, Coy and Vance Duke were the main characters in the first half of the season, with Bo and Luke returning for the second half once they returned to the live-action show.
Uncle Jesse's Role: Uncle Jesse narrates their adventures to his pet raccoon, Smokey, from a postcard.
Boss Hogg's Methods: Boss Hogg pulls off various dirty tricks, such as using a fog machine to blind them or kidnapping them, in his attempts to win.
