Where Can You Watch ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’?
The Dukes of Hazzard has been popular for nearly 50 years, since it first debuted in 1979. The series, which documented the adventures (and misadventures) of cousins Bo (John Schneider), Luke (Tom Wopat) and Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach), lasted for seven seasons, and went on to inspire not just two made-for-TV movies and a 2005 big screen reboot, but toys, video games, costumes, and a legion of fans who show up for conventions and make pilgrimages to Ben Jones‘ Cooter’s Place restaurants.
However, if you’d like to rewatch the series today, you’ll have to put in a little bit of extra legwork.
Why isn’t The Dukes of Hazzard streaming?

Though The Dukes of Hazzard had been in syndication on a number of channels after it ended its original series run, TV Land, which had been airing reruns, pulled the series from its lineup in July 2015, due to concern about the Confederate flag on the roof of the General Lee, following the racially-motivated June 2015 shooting in a Charleston, South Carolina church. Schneider soon after gave an interview to the Hollywood Reporter where he declared, “The Dukes of Hazzard was and is no more a show seated in racism than Breaking Bad was a show seated in reality.” At some point in 2020, the show was removed from Amazon’s free IMDB TV lineup.
