True story: when I was little I never opened the door to my Cozy Coupe. I hopped in through the window like the Duke boys. So this one hits a little close to home.
Thanks to the Confederate flag controversy, TV Land pulled reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard.
TV Land has pulled reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard off its schedule, a spokesperson for the network confirmed to EW on Wednesday. The network did not comment further or say why the episodes were removed, but the news comes as the show became part of the growing national debate over use of the Confederate flag, which is displayed on the roof of the Duke boys’ car.At long last we've been SAVED! Saved from cheesy 70s reruns, because of a... flag? The whitewashing started with The Dukes of Hazzard merchandise last week when Warner Bros. said they'd no longer license any likeness of the show's iconic General Lee.
