The Hazzard County for the show was in Georgia. I assume that some of the improper English was the writer's attempts at the southern dialect. I don't recall Bo or Luke or Uncle Jesse speaking poorly. Cooter, and Enis, and Roscoe, and Boss Hogg were caricatures and spoke as such.

Welcome Back Kotter's Sweathogs didn't speak good.

Neither did Lennie or Squiggy.

Neither did Festus.

Neither did Ralph Kramden or Ed Norton.
