Coltrane James Best along with his deputy s , and always managing to get caught in the middle of the various escapades and incidents that often occur in the area. Bo and Luke had previously been sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine ; their Uncle Jesse made a plea bargain with the U. Government to refrain from distilling moonshine in exchange for Bo and Luke's freedom. As a result, Bo and Luke are on five years' probation and not allowed to carry firearms—instead, they often use compound bows , sometimes with arrows tipped with dynamite —or to leave Hazzard County unless they get probation permission from their probation officer, Boss Hogg, although the exact details of their probation terms vary from episode to episode.

The Dukes of Hazzard was more than just a popular TV show, it was a television phenomenon that launched several of its cast members into sex symbol status. Forty years after the show debuted in , the cast members look very different today, but they've held up remarkably well. The Dukes of Hazzard starred John Schneider and Tom Wopat as Bo and Luke Duke, two "good old boys," as the song's famous theme song described them, who were always living just a little bit on the wrong side of the law. The show's relatively simple, but fun plots centered around their various scrapes with the local sheriff and a corrupt local kingpin named Boss Hogg, a longtime archenemy of their family. Catherine Bach portrayed Daisy Duke, the Duke boys' cousin who worked at a local bar. She tended to get involved in the middle of their shenanigans, and she looked good doing it; the short cutoff shorts she wore on the show sparked the daisy dukes shorts craze that is still popular today in various parts of Southern rural culture. You won't believe what she looks like today! The years since the show went off the air in have certainly held their ups and downs for the cast of The Dukes of Hazzard.
