Affable sheriff's deputy Enos Strate got his own spin-off program from The Dukes of Hazzard for one season.

On November 5, 1980, a Dukes episode entitled "Enos Strate to the Top" served as the pilot episode for Enos, showing Enos capturing two dangerous criminals. One week later, Enos made its series premiere and lasted 18 episodes. The country boy had been invited to join LAPD in a premise similar to Dennis Weaver's character serving with NYPD in McCloud several years earlier. After his series was cancelled, Enos returned to the Dukes for the remainder of its network run.

Originally scheduled on Wednesday nights, the show was moved to Saturdays at the end of its run and for summer reruns.less «

• Enos on DVD?

  Any chance we'll see "Enos" on DVD? Maybe as part of one of the "Dukes" season DVD's?

  2.4 Terrible

  bad idea hide « show »

  now the dukes of hazzard was corny enough, but this spin off was just horrible. i thought the name of the show was enos and turk. i do not know why anyone would think that this was a good idea. at least it did not last that long and enos went back to hazzard where he belongs.

  Do you agree?

  8.4 Great

  I liked the show all right! hide « show »

  Enos is a great supporting character
  The actor didn't like the idea of carrying a show
  But I am glad that the producers of DOH agreed to let him come back to Hazzard
  In case that it failed, and it was on Saturday
  IMHO, it should be on that Friday night
  And then Fridays would had been big hits
  If not for dumb CBS not to put it on Saturdays
  It was a bad mistake for them
  Not to let the show partnered up with DOH

  10 Perfect

  My client was the star of this show. His name is Sonny Shroyer. hide « show »

  Not many people know that Michelle Pfiefer was on the first episode of Enos as a guest star. She was virtually an unknown at the time. Jay Leno also made a guest appearance in an episode.
  
  This show would have made it if it hadn't been up against "Real People" on NBC and the 1981 actors strike was happening as well. Just bad timing.
  
  Hey Warner Brothers, I hope you read this. You need to release Enos on DVD!!!

  5 Mediocre

  Should have stayed in Hazzard hide « show »

  Enos was an attempt by CBS to strike gold a second time by spinning off a supporting character from its hugely popular and top-rated Dukes of Hazzard. I think the network actually wanted Enos to succeed. The supporting cast was decent, the scripts were at least on par with those of Dukes, and James Best and Cathy Bach from the parent show made guest appearances. Unfortunately, the show was hampered by a poor concept and the reluctance of its star, Sonny Shroyer. Shroyer didn't believe in the project from the outset and was reluctant to do the series. He only agreed to do it if the network put it in his contract that he could return to Dukes in event that the series failed. It turned out that Shroyer's reluctance was prophetic. Enos Strate was a great supporting character on Dukes but was unable to carry the lead in his own series. Enos bit the dust after only 17 episodes and no one really mourned its demise. The character went back to Dukes of Hazzard where he belonged and the show went to the great TV scrap heap in the sky.
