That show has had so much shit flung at it the past five years it's pathetic! 😡

Fixed.

I would say this would fall into the territory of 'broadcast with a title card explaining how times have changed' rather than 'bury it and forget about it.'

cobaltmale Channel hopping yesterday on Satellite I saw it was on but didn't note what channel.

WE ASKING YOU NOT TO PULL ANYTHING YOU SEE KTLA STREAMING FRIENDS SHOW WE USETO WATCHED THAT AND THEY NEVER HAD A BLACK ACTOR WELL DUKES OF HAZZARD DID YOU PEOPLE ARE GOING OVERBOARD. WE HAVE ALL BLACK SHOWS RIGHT. WHAT IS YOU PEOPLE PROBLEM.

Sounds like they just wanna stop paying for the series license and are trying to squeeze PR points out of it

Man we all use to watch the Dukes of Hazzard with Boss HOG just what we said these people do not know the real History or understand this country why to many from other places. THEY USE THIS PLACE AND THE PEOPLE THAT MADE IT WHAT IT IS OUR ORIGINAL INDIAN, BLACK, & WHITE

Them Duke boys can’t ever catch a break.

Leave it people. If some wanna watch they will watch. Those who don't wanna watch can scroll on past it. PrimeVideo amazon Some people just have to have something to complain about. After you pull this, it'll be something else. Where does it end?

Never watched one episode but this is overkill. Chill IMDb!

Instead of pulling the show cause some people are triggered by it, those people could, just, not watch the show. No one is gonna become a racist by watching Dukes of Hazzard.

That is as bad or worse than getting rid of gone with the wind

Why Just why. There was not racist material in this show. Another Company bending the Knee. Let's continue to purge everything we don't like. Just like the Nazi's did.

Does that go for the movie too

What do you mean “might” ? Should !

stop this.

Of course, that'll fix everything.

For F sake, grow up everyone 🤦‍♀️

Leave it, it’s clearly fiction. Cops would never bother two white boys with a confederate flag on their car.

Cool, they gonna pay taxes?

Didn't CMT do this for the same reasons? I swear, those good ol' boys didn't mean any harm.

The most publicity IMDb tv will ever get
