"The Dukes" was an animated series which ran on CBS between 1983-1984.

ynopsis

Based directly on the popular live-action television series "The Dukes of Hazzard", this Saturday morning cartoon featured the Duke cousins in an automobile race around the world against Boss Hogg, in a duel over the ownership of Duke farm. The concept may have been borrowed from "Wacky Races".

The first season fell during the period of the live-action show's infamous replacement of the regular Duke boys with "clones", Coy and Vance Duke, after the actors playing Bo and Luke walked out over a dispute about royalties owed to them. Thus, the first season of this animated series featured Coy and Vance. By the time of the second series, Bo and Luke had returned to the live-action version, and so also replaced Coy and Vance in the animated series.

Production

The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera, which eventually became co-owned with Warner Bros., producers of the live-action series, via Time Warner's acquisition of H-B's then-parent Turner Entertainment in 1996.
