TV Land has pulled reruns of 'The Dukes Of Hazzard' from its schedule. The network did not comment on why the show was taken off the schedule, but the news follows the growing national debate over the use of the Confederate flag.

The Confederate flag was featured on the roof of 'The General Lee', the car the Duke boys rode in the show.

'The Dukes of Hazzard' originally aired on CBS from 1979-1985.

Last week, Warner Bros. Consumer Products said that it would no longer license toys or models of the 'General Lee', as they join several other retailers that vowed to stop selling Confederate flag merchandise. This action follows the tragic church shootings in South Carolina.

A petition launched earlier this week on Change.org is asking Viacom, Warner Brothers, Walmart, and eBay to "stop banning" the hit series.
