@barryguillot: Dukes of Hazzard (1978-1985) Film Locations The first five episodes of the series were filmed in Georgia, before filming was moved to the Warner Brothers set in Burbank, California, where filming stayed for the rest of the series & final 141 episodes. A lot of cars were crashed during production. Replacing the police sedans was easy, but replacing the "General Lee" was much harder because Dodge stopped making the Charger. It got to the point where if producers saw a Charger on the street they would approach the owner and offer to buy it on the spot. Somewhere between 256 and 321 "General Lee" cars were created and mostly destroyed during the series. Fewer than 20 in various states of disrepair still exist. Despite popular belief, there were no 1970 Chargers used in the series according to all the car builders. During one of the famous jump sequences, recorded before the series debuted on Friday, January 26th, 1979, the stunt crew actually set a world record. The jump's height was 16 feet and length was 82 feet long, and it occurred on Saturday, November 11th, 1978. Downtown Covington Georgia is where the courthouse is located. Oxford College in Georgia is where the historic jump took place that used in the opening credits of every episode.
