Mayberry, and LHotP are fictional but are based on how things were. Things were never perfect but they were enough like these shows that the reference is ok. I grew up here in the mountains of Ga. I was born in 1978. Dukes of Hazzard started a year later an ran till I was 8 years old. I knew then that it was fiction an now I know the rest of the world saw it as a comedy but here in Ga it was reality. What everyone was laughing about was fact here. You will find more truth about what was going in Ga at the time buried in that show than you will ever see in any history book. Next time you see that show on, really watch it. Stop laughing an think about what is going on as if it were real. Then you will have an idea how this part of the country really was at the time.
I watch that every now an then to remember how things were. To remember being chased by the cops for fun. To remember running just cause it was fun. An to remember standing in the same store the next day talking to that same cop about how his wife an kids are doing an wishing them well. People would be shocked at how much of that show was not made up...
