The rumours are true. CMT will be ending it's run of the Dukes of Hazzard sometime later this summer. But they're not just pulling the plug on the program. They're giving the Dukes a true, Hazzard style send off!
And why not? CMT owes a lot to the Dukes of Hazzard for bringing in the viewers and the ratings. And they're obviously very much aware of that.
"After a fantastic two-year run, it's time to give the Dukes a proper CMT farewell with a summer primetime block," says Mary Beth Cunin, vice president of programming strategy, CMT. "We want fans to be able to watch the series from the beginning and relive their favorite Dukes moments before the General Lee rides off into the sunset."
CMT will do some pre-farewell programming starting the week of May 28, with Dukes themed episodes of Custom Built and Video Replay on CMT Loaded, along with an episode of CMT Outsider which will show some behind-the-scenes stuff of DukesFest.
Then things formally get underway the weekend of DukesFest on June 1. (By the way, y'all got yer tickets? Git on over to Cooters Place and git 'em while they're hot!). The Dukes will be airing on CMT in a new timeslot for the send off, Monday through Thursday 8pm - 10pm. That's two hours of the Dukes! Yeeeeeeeehaaaawww!
CMT's Top Twenty Countdown will shoot a special episode at DukesFest which will air on June 7th.
Thank you CMT for picking up the Dukes of Hazzard two years ago. You've been a great home for the Dukes and although we're sad to see them go (again), somehow we get the feelin' that they'll be back (again). Khee!
