to:

* TokenGoodCop: Seems to be the lone honest cop in the whole county, despite working for the corrupt [[SmallTownTyrant Boss Hogg]] and the equally corrupt, bumbling Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. More than once, he's referred to as the only ''real'' law in Hazzard, and when the Dukes need help from the authorities for a change, it's Enos they go to.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Enos is not even a designated villain; he’s always depicted as a good guy who is very reluctant - or outright refuses - to do bad stuff.


** Enos is never really portrayed as corrupt or evil, and despite his DesignatedVillain role (by default by being on the same side as Boss Hogg) he becomes quite sympathetic and likable over the course of the show.

Buxom Beauty Standard is in-universe examples only. The show doesn't draw any attention in-universe to Daisy's bust size, ad she doesn't seem much bustier than the other young women of the show.


* BuxomBeautyStandard: Her sizable chest is part of what makes her so good at using DistractedByTheSexy.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Removing misuse, as this is something reasonable to get angry over.


* BerserkButton: Threatening his family, especially Daisy.



* BerserkButton: Rosco may be a bumbling goofball, but woe betide anyone who is out to hurt Flash. ''Goes double'' if you impersonate him or another lawman.

** Even calling him ''evil'' is a huge stretch. He's crooked, not evil at all.
--->'''Boss Hogg''': Now, I've got nothin' against moonshining, income tax evasion, swindling land...that's just good clean fun. But when it comes to selling drugs to poison the minds of young children, there I simply ''MUST'' draw the line!

Added DiffLines:

* FamilialFoe: Boss is constantly trying to con members of the Duke clan (his old rival Jesse Duke, five nephews and a niece-only three of whom appear in most of the episodes- and some distant cousins who appear in one episode) or frame them for his crimes. Even when Boss isn't directly out to get the Dukes, they still interfere with his money-making schemes out of a sense of justice or because ItAmusedMe. Boss Hogg and the Dukes have regular FriendlyEnemies or EnemyMine interactions, but always go back to fighting each other before long.

* BadassDriver: Both of them. In fact, they briefly left Hazzard County to become NASCAR drivers.



* LimitedWardrobe: Bo was nearly always seen wearing the same style of clothes, with a yellow shirt (with a blue T-shirt underneath for the first two seasons and some of third; this T-shirt is brown in the pilot episode), and light blue jeans. The exact hue of the shirt varied across the seasons - early on it was a deeper yellow; mid-run it was more of a cream color, and late examples saw it being more of a grey tone. The second episode produced and broadcast, "Daisy's Song", is notable for Bo instead wearing a red shirt for much of the story. A sequence in the fifth episode, "High Octane", sees Bo dressed in a light blue shirt, and many early publicity shots see the character dressed in a darker blue denim shirt.




* ActionGirl: She can more than hold her own when the chips are down, and displays on a number of occasions that she can turn her skills to any problem at hand. For instance, during one adventure with a stolen armored personnel carrier (the second season's "Follow That Still"), Daisy is able to accurately fire its main gun while the vehicle is in motion with barely any instruction from her Vietnam War veteran cousin, and Uncle Jesse cheerfully decorates her as "Sharpshooter of the Week" for the feat. She also displays horse riding, archery, and numerous other skills in various episodes
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Brunette in the series, blonde in the movie.



* BadassDriver: She occasionally drives the General Lee during various adventures, and on some occasions it is suggested that Daisy may even be a better driver than her talented cousins (such as the first-season episode "The Big Heist," in which Sheriff Rosco, believing that Bo and Luke are driving the General, comments that they are "driving particularly well today").

* ManChild: Goofy, innocent, giggly, hyperactive, gullible, believes in fairy tales, simple-minded, and overall an overgrown 7 year old. However, he pulls no punches in regards to enforcing the law.

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He was initially created as a corrupt, gruff nemesis for the Duke family to battle, but as the series evolved over its first and subsequent seasons, Hogg developed more into a comical money-grabbing villain, more intent on various get-rich-quick schemes and shady plots than ever knowingly causing anyone serious harm.
