No, this is actually an 80's tv show called "The Dukes of Hazzard". (And the criticism about this working for moonshiners but not for hillbillies is, of course, correct.)

Smokey and the Bandit also has running beer across county lines, though. And it is the late, great, Jackie Gleason who plays Sheriff "Buford T. Justice" in the film. (As a sort of cut-rate Javert.)
