10 Stars for Catherine Bach

"This dvd contains the Dukes of Hazzard 49-minute 1979 pilot episode "One Armed Bandits," as well as a bonus 10-minute feature on the 2005 film.
The story involves the good ol' boys saving an orphanage and was actually filmed in Georgia where the fictitious Hazzard County is supposed to reside (unlike future episodes filmed in Southern California).
This dvd is worthless to hardcore Dukes fans since the pilot episode is featured on the First Season collection.
To be honest, before buying this dvd I had never seen an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard in my life, although I've of course seen clips of the show while channel surfing.
My main interest in this dvd is Catherine Bach, who plays Daisy Duke. In her prime Catherine was one of the most beautiful women to grace God's earth and this pilot episode features her in all her awe-inspiring glory. She has some solid screen time and is shown in white "daisy dukes" (short shorts), denim daisy dukes and (whoa) a red bikini.
The episode itself is just harmless good ol' boys TV fun, but Catherine Bach is incredible. She was born in Warren, Ohio, not far from where I live in NE Ohio -- proof that our hometown babes are some of the finest in the world.
In fact, because of Catherine I can justly brag: OUR BABES ARE BETTER THAN YOUR BABES -- hah!"
Back in time.

"I purchased this for my husband who used to watch this show while growing up. It's like he's back in time and enjoys the show."
