yeah but convoy is just a smokey and the bandit ripoff so that doesn’t count. Don’t forget Dukes of Hazard…,

oh absolutely, Convoy came on the heels of Smokey’s success (based on a country song a few years before both tho). Dukes came after but probably solidified the Fat Southern Sheriff given that it was on week after week.

Still J.W. Pepper of Live and Let Die predates them all
