I'm glad it had a very good reason to do it. Also, the show is out dated and hasn't aged well.

[robyrob]

this seems like an over-reaction

I can understand that people might be offended by the flag and what it represents to some people (idiotic racists and neo-nazis), but I personally think that banning the flag outright really does not do anything to actually affect racism and the energy that goes into this sort of backlash would be better put to use in more positive avenues to try and fight racism.

honestly, this just gives people like that idiot kid that murdered those innocent people more excuses to be racist idiots - he said he wanted to start a race war, people are starting to give him exactly what he wants.

Couldn't they just digitally remove the flag from the top of the General Lee, if it's so offensive? If they can remove cigarettes digitally, why not the Confederate Flag?

[BigManMike]

This is just stupid and ridiculous.

TVLand has changed schedules at an instant's notice for a long time. Dukes of Hazzard is hardly the only show they've pulled.

[Mr. Television]

DISGUSTING.

OK this has gotten totally out of control and completely ridiculous. It's just a TV show, and one that was never meant to be (at least not usually) taken that seriously. I realize not everybody likes The Dukes Of Hazzard but I do and I always have. Really stupid move on TVLand's part.

Exactly! This could entirely be ratings based.

The show stinks anyway, so who cares???
TV Land is always dropping shows from their lineup.... means nothing.

I told Comcast to pull TV land off my service in 2013 and haven't seen it since

I was reading about this and they say TV Land pulled it due to the confederate Flag on the car. I personally think this is stupid! The flag was never about race, being from the south and having ancestors that died during that time period I am very well versed to it's true meaning. The KKK carried that flag so many people assume it was about race. The nail in the coffin was the idiot that killed those people in the Church. He actually posed with the flag in a photo. It's just a shame that we have sunk so slow as to blame a flag for some people who continue to be racist. I wish people would educate themselves


NONE of the flags of the Confederacy or Southern Nation ever flew over a slave ship. Nor did the South own or operate any slaves ships. The English, the Dutch and the Portugese brought slaves to this country, not the Southern Nation.

The Confederate Battle Flag is known as the "Southern Cross".
The Confederate Battle Flag today finds itself in the center of much controversy and hoopla. The cry to take this flag down is unjustified. It is very important to keep in mind that the Confederate Battle Flag was simply just that. A battle flag. It is part of southern HISTORY! It was never even a National flag, so how could it have flown over a slave nation or represented slavery or racism? This myth is continued by lack of education and ignorance. Those that villify the Confederate Battle Flag are very confused about history and have jumped upon a bandwagon with loose wheels.

The dispicable organizations such as the KKK and Aryans have taken a hallowed piece of history, and have plagued good Southern folks and the memories of fine Confederate Soldiers that fought under the flag with their perverse agenda. IN NO WAY does the Confederate Flag represent hate or violence. Heritage groups such as the SCV battle daily the damage done to a proud nation by these hate groups. The SCV denounces all hate groups, and pridefully boast HERITAGE - NOT HATE.

The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are not racist or hate group.

FACT - This is a blatant attack on one of the finest heritage groups ever. The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are a historical, patriotic and non-political organization comprised of descendents of Confederate Soldiers and sailors dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861 -1865 period is preserved and presented to the public. The SCV continues to educate the public of the memory and reputation of the Confederate soldier as well as the motives for his suffering and sacrifice.

Maybe the people that like the show? I know, crazy to think there's people out there with different tastes than you.
