The Dukes of Hazzard (1979–1985) titles ...


On January 26, 1979, “The Dukes of Hazzard,” a television
comedy about two cousins in the rural South and their
souped-up 1969 Dodge Charger known as the General Lee,
debuted on CBS.

The show, which originally aired for seven seasons, centered
around cousins Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke
(Tom Wopat) and their ongoing efforts to elude their nemeses,
the crooked county commissioner “Boss” Jefferson Davis Hogg
(Sorrell Booke) and the bumbling Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane
(James Best).

“The Dukes of Hazzard” was known for its car chases, stunts
and the General Lee.

FIRST EMMY AWARDS PRESENTED IN 1949

The very first Emmy® Awards were held on Jan. 25, 1949. | Emmy awards, Blow your mind, Awards

The first Emmy Awards ceremony was held on January 25, 1949
at the Hollywood Athletic Club.

The awards recognize excellence in television (which in the
1940s was a novel medium).

Hollywood’s first television academy had been founded three
years earlier by Sydney Cassyd, a former film editor for Frank
Capra who later worked as a grip at Paramount Studios and
an entertainment journalist.

At a time when only about 50,000 American households had
TV sets, Cassyd saw the need for an organization that would
foster productive discussion of the fledgling entertainment
medium.
