<P> In 1977 , Waldron was approached by Warner Bros. with the idea of developing Moonrunners into a television series . Waldron reworked various elements from Moonrunners , and from it was devised what would become The Dukes of Hazzard . Production began in October 1978 with the original intention of only nine episodes being produced as mid-season filler . The first five episodes were filmed in Covington and Conyers , Georgia and surrounding areas , including some location work in nearby Atlanta . After completing production on the fifth episode , `` High Octane '' , the cast and crew broke for Christmas break , expecting to return in several weeks ' time to complete the ordered run of episodes . In the meantime , executives at Warner Bros. were impressed by the rough preview cuts of the completed episodes and saw potential in developing the show into a full - running series ; part of this plan was to move production from Georgia to the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank , California , primarily to simplify production as well as develop a larger workshop to service the large number of automobiles needed for the series . </P>
