The Dukes of Hazzard - Spin-offs

Spin-offs

  • The character of Deputy Sheriff Enos Strate was spun off into his own short-lived detective show called Enos, which ran from 1980 to 1981. As a result, Enos was written out of The Dukes of Hazzard at the start of the third season in the episode "Enos Strate to the Top." After Enos was cancelled, the character returned to Hazzard at the beginning of the fifth season.
  • An animated version of the show called The Dukes aired in 1983. The first season fell under the Coy and Vance era of the live-action show and thus they were adapted into animated form. By the second season, Bo and Luke had returned, and they replaced Coy and Vance in the cartoon.
  • Several video games based on the show were created:
    • The Dukes of Hazzard for ColecoVision using Expansion Module #2 (1984)
    • The Dukes of Hazzard for the Sinclair Spectrum (1985)
    • The Dukes of Hazzard (unreleased Atari 2600 prototype by Coleco)
    • The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing for Home (1999)
    • The Dukes of Hazzard 2: Daisy Dukes It Out (2000)
    • The Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee (2004)
  • In 2005, the Humana Festival of New American Plays premiered a full-length comedy-drama entitled Hazzard County by Allison Moore. The story centers on a young widowed mother and a visit she receives from a big city television producer. Interspersed with recollections of Bo, Luke, and Daisy, the play takes a deep look at southern "good ol' boy" culture and its popularization through the lens of American mass media.

The second season episodes "Jude Emery", about a Texas Ranger, and "Mason Dixon's Girls", about a travelling private investigator and his female associates, were both pilots written by Dukes creator Gy Waldron for proposed new shows. Both failed to sell.
