TVLand has taken the Dukes of Hazzard off the air in response to the flap about the confederate flag precipitated by the shooting in Charleston. We were devastated to see such a horrible, violent attack perpetrated against innocent, God fearing people. Much has been said and done in the days since and we won’t get into that. We will simply state that banning The Dukes of Hazzard from the air waves won’t solve the problem. Anyone who has watched the show knows that the Dukes were not racist and, as Martin Luther King, Jr. requested of us all, they judged people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. The family values that the Dukes embodied seem to be needed now more than ever.
If you would like to let Viacom know you want the show back on the air, Donald Covell, Jr. has started a petition you can sign.
