OMG John that was my dream car for soooo many years when I was a kid. To be honest I still want one. Haha. Great memories for you I'm sure. Can't wait to see the car in "Stand on It"!!!
Have you ever thought about doing a "Road Trip" and going back to Duke's of Hazard filming locations? Probably bring back some great memories for you. I know there have been a few through the years but none of them would be as authentic and accurate as what you could do.
That sounds like a great idea!! Yes, John... Get in the General Lee and we can enjoy MEMORY LANE Fun locations with the General Lee... The Duke Boys, and Daisy Duke approved!! 😊😊🚙🚙🚙
Crazy I remember this just airing for the 1st time , I was in auto body shop in high school ,who'd a ever thought 40 years later Id be watching true facts of locations of the show.
John, I can't explain how much I enjoy watching your video's but its not so much the content. You seem to have a kindness about you that comes across as such a grounded and wholesome person. I know you're ultra famous, but being able to get to know you in this way is fascinating to me. Most actors, we never see this side of them, and I can't say enough how cool it is to be able to even think my message will be read by you. I always forward all your videos to my family members, because I too want them to be able to see you in this way. I remember as a kid watching Dukes with my older brother and it brings back such fun memories. Thanks John, for those memories back then, and these memories now.
I enjoyed tuneing in on Friday nights ! The Dukes of Haszzard was a decent show very well worth watching & all the memories ! They where a part of My child hood !
If you like hearing all these stories please Subscribe to my channel and ask friends to do the same. By the way... have you seen "Anderson Bench" on here yet? It's free and it's freaky. Want to get a feel for what it's like inside my head..? Check out that movie! Warning: It is a VERY DARK comedy and NOT for the kiddos!
Hi John I'm a big Dukes of Hazzard fan when I was a kid growing up.I'm 41 now I live in Ventura County where Luke's Love Story racing scene was filmed in Piru California and Granny Annie General Lee train jump in Oxnard California.
Those first 5 episodes are very dear to me. Being from Georgia, those episodes have a distinct look and feel. So those along with Smokey and the Bandit are just heritage for us Ga. Folks. Oh and your Cash impression is quite good.
Lord Motorsports YES!!!! I was just watching season one again yesterday and after those first 5 episodes the look and feel of the show are completely different! I too am from Georgia but currently living in NY and man you talk about be over come with homesickness!!
John, I remember a car show you worked in Baltimore in the late 70's early 80's. We talked a bit, we kissed. We were young. But I miss all the guys hanging out working on cars and celebrate the freedom our own car or truck gives a person. Thank you for keeping that part of Americana and MEN alive
John, back in early 2000’s I, worked at Warner Brothers part time in Burbank when I lived in California. I met someone that worked in the transportation department and I told them I was a life long Dukes of Hazzard fan and asked him if they had any General Lees in storage because I’d been wanting to see an actual screen used General Lee my whole life. Sure enough, I got to see the stunt car that did the street jump in the last reunion movie “Hazzard in Hollywood”. So I was there, at Warner Brothers, with a General Lee stunt car. It was a Dukes fan dream come true! Plus I got to walk the sets where “Hazzard Square” used to be, like downtown Hazzard. They were set up at the time filming “Gilmore Girls” at that time. I just wanted to share this story with you!
As a life long Dukes fan, the Disney Ranch location is my favorite. It would be awesome for John to go back there and give a tour there someday. I believe that is where that iconic wooden bridge is that Bo jumped off the truck into the lake in the episode "Follow That Still". Also, in "The Rustlers" with Mel Tillis, the white farm house and land is very picturesque. Especially, when they show the pasture with the distance signs when the horse races the General Lee. Those sunny scenes with the trees and winding dirt roads like that really added to the show.
Man, seeing that thumbnail...I totally forgot that years ago I read in a magazine that you used to race friends in a Countach back in the 80s in like Texas or something. Can you tell us about that? That's my favorite car of all time, and I'm very interested in what it was like.
I think it's fantastic the way you embrace the show and its legacy. Many actors don't do this because it was jut another job for them. The way you keep it alive and make it fun after all these years really makes it meaningful for all the fans, including myself. James Best and Sorrell Booke did this, as well. It was just a great cast of down to Earth people that made the Dukes. Back in the day, laughing my butt off with my brothers, I had no idea it would be so big for so long. Thanks for great childhood memories! (of course, my mom still hates it to this day, lol!)
Love hearing about the making of the duke’s! Have you ever thought about doing a session where you talk about all the different country singers you guys had the pleasure of working with. Some of my favorite episodes are Roscoes celebrity speed traps. I would love to hear about those experiences.
I wish you would do a 5 minute video on Paul Baxley and his crews contribution to the Dukes. Not only the car scenes, but fight scenes as well. Their work was excellent.
I'd say it is with the second in the countdown being the one where they're jumping over the river and you can see the camera mounted to the passenger side of the General, then in the next shot its that camera's POV.
2 best jumps was ‘million dollar sheriff’ jumping the old guy delivering the cheque, and jumping the cement truck in Daisys Roadrunner in ‘goodbye general lee’.
It's weird how much time has passed since I grew up watching the show. When your small time seems to pass slowly but as you get older it fly's bye so fast.
My family is watching the show right now, I've seen them a lot, & my kids are getting there 2nd, time around, well I own the seasons now, I got them from Cooters in Tenn. can't wait to go to Lurray, Va. to visit with Ben, as always Love watching the show, always entertaining! Hopefully get to meet you soon at Ben & Alma's👍🏻😍
I grew up in Tampa, Fl and my most prized possession was my Dukes of Hazard record player. They year was 1984 and I would play the Dukes theme song on full blast 7 days per week... Our good neibor next door, Mr. Jack, never complained once because he knew how much it meant to me... Five years later our family moved to a small place in Valdosta, Georgia, where my new neibor turned out to be none other than Shroyer family... I must had drove my go-kart by their house a million times but never knocked on the door because I was told Enos had passed away a few years before we moved up there... Never the less, each time I raced by their house, I had the Dukes theme song blaring in my mind and an imaginary Rasco and Boss hog in fast pursuit trailing behind me... I never got to tell my old neibor, Mr. Jack, or Sonny thank you for the all of the great memories but Mr. Schneider, now is a good time to thank you sir for all of the best memories a kid could every dream of... It’s so great to see your still rocking and rolling! Thanks for posting all of these videos!
I swear, I have the whole Dukes DVD set, plus I watched it when it was on network every week and in reruns, but I can never tell real from miniatures! Can you show a clip of real vs mini? What powered the minis?
@@JohnSchneiderStudios OK I ill watch closer next time thru haha. I am honored you replied to me. I am a huge fan...I was with you guys from the beginning. I just popped the center caps off my mags on the 1966 Mustang, ala DOH. I like the raw look! Sorry, babbling. Again, glad you responded, thanks!
As a lifelong Dukes fan who's been spotting the 'different' Hazzards since I was a young boy, these videos are fantastic. Maybe you could do a dedicated video on Georgia locations and memories, John? The Georgia locations and episode are generally my favourite, I always wonder how it would have panned out if the series had remained there. My least favourite Hazzard setting is the final one (the Warner ranch) as it all seems squished in; both the farm and the Boar's Nest always look to have convienently stacked hay bails to mask things in the background! :)
I’ve been watching Dukes of Hazzard all day (season 4) now and was curious about the film locations in California so I Googled it and came across your channel. Thanks! You answered everything I needed to know.
I think it's safe to say I speak for everyone. We are so grateful and appreciative that you're so open with this stuff. It's amazing to hear all of this information right from the source. You were always one of my childhood heroes, and to see you still rocking it is just amazing! Keep up the good work.
I learned my best driving skills from watching your show and later on in life I had a chance to show off the skills I learned from you guys and guess what? I caught the bad guy By chasing him down in my car they had a Camaro and they tried to do a Dukes of Hazzard whippy to turn around in the road and they high centered their car on a dirt pile on the side of the road then it was my turn and because of your show and practicing I pulled off that Dukes of Hazzard whippy I even got offered a job by the police officers for my driving so thanks Dukes of hazard 💗
I love your channel, the dukes of Hazzard was always a favorite of mine. I remember being on a March of dimes telethon with you when I was a child, I was a poster child in the late 70's- early 80's
I love this trivia! I could tell in the later years that things were shot on stage because I was so into behind the scenes stuff. my dream as a young boy watching these shows was to be a camera operator in Hollywood, and that's what I am doing today!
John, when you say they made the "Robin Hood" film at Lake Sherwood, that must be the 1922 B&W silent film with Douglas Fairbanks. They made the 1938 Color film with Errol Flynn in Chico California which has an abundance of large oak and sycamore trees in our park.
You're not a dumb guy, John, like you'd said earlier,these memories are some 40+ years ago I'm personally not expecting you to be able to remember everything as if it'd happened yesterday
It's amazing how much the center of Covington and the town center at Burbank Studios look alike. The red brick is identical. The first time I visited Covington, I came around the back side and was looking right at the courthouse tower. I recognized it immediately. They shot In the Heat of the Night there too.
Cool info John!! I always wondered why some of the "exterior" shots seemed indoors. You can tell these by seeing the overhead stage lights reflecting in the car windows as a the car drives by. You can also tell by the way no trees or bushes move as they are perfectly still.
We wouldn't know that much detail if it wasn't for you,I'm learning so much at 62 years old,does it seem weird seeing yourself back then,your a good guy.Thanks for taking time to share with us.Stay safe.
You're the best John . There's nothing more iconic to a genX kid than the Dukes. Your genuine appreciation for what the show means to us is great to see. You really get it
John. Schneider is awesome I got a autograph photo mailed to me when I was 13.in Winslow..I'm 53 now but the hole crew must be nice.🤩I've done 5 movies and 5 commercial. I understand now.thanks
John you are a good old boy and I do thank you for your time and your videos and movies you have made over the years and your music just wanted to say thank you ronin from BOSTON Ma. .......
back in 1982 I had a British Leyland Rover SD1 V8 good engine body "rust buckets" and used to tear up and down the small forest tracks on the North Yorkshire moors UK. you still are amazing in front of a microphone, same goes for being in front and behind the camera. I wish you many many more years of slendid work and good health for you and all loved ones.
Fun Fact: Lake Sherwood was where they filmed the original Robin Hood and eventually the Dukes of Hazzard, and the theme song compares Bo and Luke to "modern day" Robin Hoods.
Best TV series ever. Someday I'm gonna buy it on DVD! Me and my friends used to go off roading wishing we were Bo and Luke Duke! I want my own General Lee! And thanks for all these great videos!
Hi john. I just wanted to say the the last filming location for dukes was also known as the valencia oaks location. I know it has a few other names but it is what i usually hear it being refered to. It is my favorite location. Take care.
I just have to tell you about y'alls biggest fan, my grandma Scott. She NEVER missed the "Duke of Hazards". She loved the stories and thelove between the family. Thank you, John, for great memories.
John, I sincerely love hearing all the stories from your Dukes of Hazzard Days. Thank you so much for that. I too am trying to keep the Dukes dream alive on my channel through Diecast creations ,and the viewers are loving what i do. Thanks Again, George
You know John.. grew up watching dukes.. born in 77.. moved to Santa Clarita in 87.. right down the street from Disney ranch. I believe I will be able to see the difference in sets.. Really cool that I got to grow up in the area my fav show was filmed.. I even got to load some hay at Disney ranch with friends Dad Gene Walker.. he was a Wrangler for the movies..
LOVE hearing about how Dukes was filmed! Do you have any behind the scenes pics to share, especially of the studio where the inside of the Duke farm was, Boars nest, police station, etc?
I bought a few dvds for the kid to watch he liked them and few stations play old epsiodes, I think you played here in IL once or twice😄I had the pleasure to meet Johnny Paycheck 😎
I have noticed that the outsides of the Duke Farm and the Boar's Nest did change Frequently thourghout the first few seasons. Even noticed the interior of the Duke House was different several times too.
I enjoy hearing John reminiscing on these FUN DUKES facts! I do recall all the things he said! Ive been to Dukes farm and Boarsnest in GA! Its like when we pulled up to the spots and got out to just take it all in! It was like I was a kid again and came full circle! Its like I was meant to go to these places! I would love to find the spots from MOONRUNNERS in GA.!!!! That would be AWESOME!!!!!
A conversation today had made me realise the Dukes is responsible for my dream of owning an American muscle car. The sound of his V8 is with me to this day :)
I've lived in Santa Clarita all my life and a friend of mine and I used to ride our dirt bikes up Haskell Canyon in Saugus to the movie ranch to watch you guys film once in a while. Later we used to ride up there to watch them film The A-Team. Thanks for the videos!! Keep them coming!!
I believe the place you're talking about the third location off Lyons was Valuzai Ranch or could it have been Indian Dunes too off 126 behind magic mountain. Keith Dillin would know.
TV from our childhood. My wife and I have all of the seasons of Duke's of Hazzard on DVD somewhere in our house. We sold our rural Upstate New York Dairy Farm last year and moved to a Kentucky Holler. We love it here. South and East of where we live is a Hazard Kentucky and I know that we've past a billboard sign for Cooter's Garage. Is there any connection with those two pieces of information to the show or cast? Thanks. Take care and GOD BLESS
Hello Mr Schneider how are you doing? I've always wanted to meet you ever since i was a kid! I still love the good ol Dukes of Hazzard show! God Bless you and you family!
Very interesting thanks for that Mr Kent i mean Mr Schneider sorry they have been showing reruns of Smallville in Aussie for last couple of months ....something to watch when were all locked up...
Dukes is back on here in the UK with season 1 starting this week so enjoyed this video. Haven't seen these early episodes in well 40 years. I do remember as a kid watching the first episode and seeing Cooter drive the Ford Torino from Starsky and Hutch so that episode screened on Monday brought back happy memories.
In various interviews way back when it was always talked about how Wopat could not swim. Yet he was out in the middle of the lake (swimming) on a few shows. Did they use his double as it sure looked like him. I know odd question. Or I guess he could tread water??? Thanks!
You mentioned Carnival of thrills...that's my favorite episode. I did an elementary school project around it. Even though it was fighting. Loved the stunt car made for that jump with the full roll cage and not much of an interior.
Thanks John...Me and your fans would really like to hear an acoustic live jam some night. break out the old guitar and do what you do best brother ... help us all through these trying times
Love your videos love the show and I actually live not far from the city's where you filmed the Frist 5 episodes. I've been to Covington town square and the other city's. My dad thought they'd filmed it all in Georgia. But I had to tell him they didn't. But you guys did good replicating the Georgia scenery and all that. God bless you and have a good day.
The Dukes of Hazzard was one of my favorite shows growing up. I did totally dislike when they started shooting miniatures. I was a kid and noticed how fake it looked.
Hi again john. I also forgot to mention something elseabout the valencia oaks movie ranch . i know of two movies that were filmed there . the boars nest is a few scenes. One movie is a chevy chase movie called nothing but trouble. It is totally covered with lights and hub caps and surrounded by junk and old busus. U can also see the duke farm in the back ground towards the end of the movie. As well as tom sacramentos shop if u look really hard in a night scene or two.
Was any filming done at Universal Studios? My sister went there on her senior trip (1984) and saw some General Lees in the parking lots. My parents took me there in 1986 and of course I saw a bunch of vans used for The A-Team and Firebirds used for Knight Rider.

That was my Countach. Hal Needham used it in Cannonball Run 2 (3?) with Susan Anton and Catherine Bach driving. Never told me he painted it white!
John Schneider You must have been upset!! 😆
OMG John that was my dream car for soooo many years when I was a kid. To be honest I still want one. Haha. Great memories for you I'm sure. Can't wait to see the car in "Stand on It"!!!
I remember loving that car...and the girls in it at the time. That was such a fun movie.👍
Do you still have it?
I'll bet that thing required more maintenance than all 300 General Lee's.
You do an AMAZING Johnny Cash impersonation. We need to hear more of that.
Nick Hall Outdoors agreed!!!
He lived with Johnny for a short while I believe? Front row seat for getting the character 😀👍🏼
@@scotty197878 yes he did
Yes....that was great....I wanted to hear more!
Have you ever thought about doing a "Road Trip" and going back to Duke's of Hazard filming locations? Probably bring back some great memories for you. I know there have been a few through the years but none of them would be as authentic and accurate as what you could do.
He would have to do it in a general lee
Absolutely! And yes...as Mick said...he would have to be in the General Lee. Please do this, John!
That sounds like a great idea!!
Yes, John... Get in the General Lee and we can enjoy MEMORY LANE
Fun locations with the General Lee... The Duke Boys, and Daisy Duke approved!!
😊😊🚙🚙🚙
Ernie A Great idea!
@@JohnSchneiderStudios I second that. It would be a great idea
Crazy I remember this just airing for the 1st time , I was in auto body shop in high school ,who'd a ever thought 40 years later Id be watching true facts of locations of the show.
You know your a Duke fan when John explains each place to you, it's like giving directions to the farm house
Love the johnny impression its really good

There's been a lot of stuff filmed in Covington and Conyers some of it pretty recent too
My ex wife is from covington, she said they would convert the covington library into the heat of the night police station after it closed at night
The original Boars nest is about 10 min from my house and still there... Someday it will be bought and turned into a Boars Nest museum.🤣
wasn't it turned into a church?
@@FaithTheSlayer yes

John, how often do you watch episodes of The Dukes?
My same thought!
Who thinks the best general lee jump in season 1 was the one in the opening of one armed bandits kapow
I'd say it is with the second in the countdown being the one where they're jumping over the river and you can see the camera mounted to the passenger side of the General, then in the next shot its that camera's POV.
2 best jumps was ‘million dollar sheriff’ jumping the old guy delivering the cheque, and jumping the cement truck in Daisys Roadrunner in ‘goodbye general lee’.

John, when you say they made the "Robin Hood" film at Lake Sherwood, that must be the 1922 B&W silent film with Douglas Fairbanks. They made the 1938 Color film with Errol Flynn in Chico California which has an abundance of large oak and sycamore trees in our park.
LOVED Errol Flynn such a sexy Robin Hood
You're not a dumb guy, John, like you'd said earlier,these memories are some 40+ years ago
I'm personally not expecting you to be able to remember everything as if it'd happened yesterday
We love ya, John! Thanks for singing ,'The Gambler", the other night. Your concert was a greatly needed diversion from todays news! XOXOXOXOXOXO
Have you thought about doing a cover of Johnny Cash's "General Lee" song?
You have such a pleasant way about you..I feel like I'm hanging out with a longtime friend! Glad we can reminisce about the good ol' days! 😁
John.. happy birthday. 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🙏🙏🙏 love the Dukes of Hazzard and the General Lee love y'all
It's amazing how much the center of Covington and the town center at Burbank Studios look alike. The red brick is identical. The first time I visited Covington, I came around the back side and was looking right at the courthouse tower. I recognized it immediately. They shot In the Heat of the Night there too.
Cool info John!! I always wondered why some of the "exterior" shots seemed indoors. You can tell these by seeing the overhead stage lights reflecting in the car windows as a the car drives by. You can also tell by the way no trees or bushes move as they are perfectly still.
We wouldn't know that much detail if it wasn't for you,I'm learning so much at 62 years old,does it seem weird seeing yourself back then,your a good guy.Thanks for taking time to share with us.Stay safe.
You're the best John . There's nothing more iconic to a genX kid than the Dukes. Your genuine appreciation for what the show means to us is great to see. You really get it
John. Schneider is awesome I got a autograph photo mailed to me when I was 13.in Winslow..I'm 53 now but the hole crew must be nice.🤩I've done 5 movies and 5 commercial. I understand now.thanks
John you are a good old boy and I do thank you for your time and your videos and movies you have made over the years and your music just wanted to say thank you ronin from BOSTON Ma. .......
back in 1982 I had a British Leyland Rover SD1 V8 good engine body "rust buckets" and used to tear up and down the small forest tracks on the North Yorkshire moors UK. you still are amazing in front of a microphone, same goes for being in front and behind the camera. I wish you many many more years of slendid work and good health for you and all loved ones.
Fun Fact: Lake Sherwood was where they filmed the original Robin Hood and eventually the Dukes of Hazzard, and the theme song compares Bo and Luke to "modern day" Robin Hoods.
Best TV series ever. Someday I'm gonna buy it on DVD! Me and my friends used to go off roading wishing we were Bo and Luke Duke! I want my own General Lee! And thanks for all these great videos!
Hi john. I just wanted to say the the last filming location for dukes was also known as the valencia oaks location. I know it has a few other names but it is what i usually hear it being refered to. It is my favorite location. Take care.
Your Johnny Cash impersonation is the best I've ever seen😁
Such a great great video! Thanks for sharing!
Could you tell us where is the original Duke's Farm? Greetings from Brazil!
I just have to tell you about y'alls biggest fan, my grandma Scott. She NEVER missed the "Duke of Hazards". She loved the stories and thelove between the family. Thank you, John, for great memories.
John, I sincerely love hearing all the stories from your Dukes of Hazzard Days. Thank you so much for that. I too am trying to keep the Dukes dream alive on my channel through Diecast creations ,and the viewers are loving what i do. Thanks Again, George
Hi john I loved the show. I remember it was on at 5.30 on Saturday. Hello from anglesey north wales 🏴
You know John.. grew up watching dukes.. born in 77.. moved to Santa Clarita in 87.. right down the street from Disney ranch. I believe I will be able to see the difference in sets.. Really cool that I got to grow up in the area my fav show was filmed.. I even got to load some hay at Disney ranch with friends Dad Gene Walker.. he was a Wrangler for the movies..
Your career is iconic. Not many actors can say there show was this popular so many years later.
LOVE hearing about how Dukes was filmed! Do you have any behind the scenes pics to share, especially of the studio where the inside of the Duke farm was, Boars nest, police station, etc?
Grandprixtop Most everything I had from back then was lost in the 2016 flood.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios Oh no! I'm sorry you went through something like that. :(
I bought a few dvds for the kid to watch he liked them and few stations play old epsiodes, I think you played here in IL once or twice😄I had the pleasure to meet Johnny Paycheck 😎
I have noticed that the outsides of the Duke Farm and the Boar's Nest did change Frequently thourghout the first few seasons. Even noticed the interior of the Duke House was different several times too.
I enjoy hearing John reminiscing on these FUN DUKES facts! I do recall all the things he said! Ive been to Dukes farm and Boarsnest in GA! Its like when we pulled up to the spots and got out to just take it all in! It was like I was a kid again and came full circle! Its like I was meant to go to these places! I would love to find the spots from MOONRUNNERS in GA.!!!! That would be AWESOME!!!!!
I live in Santa Clarita, there is a hiking trail nearby you can walk over to the last filming location, all the dirt roads are still there!
A conversation today had made me realise the Dukes is responsible for my dream of owning an American muscle car. The sound of his V8 is with me to this day :)
I've lived in Santa Clarita all my life and a friend of mine and I used to ride our dirt bikes up Haskell Canyon in Saugus to the movie ranch to watch you guys film once in a while. Later we used to ride up there to watch them film The A-Team. Thanks for the videos!! Keep them coming!!
Hi John! First off...You look GREAT today! Also, your Johnny Cash impression was awesome....it sounded just like him!!!!
I believe the place you're talking about the third location off Lyons was Valuzai Ranch or could it have been Indian Dunes too off 126 behind magic mountain. Keith Dillin would know.
Michael Dillin The Valuzets are friends of mine. That’s not their place. I believe Warner Bros own it now and it’s called Warner Ranch.
Thank you John & everyone who made this great show. Here in the UK the dukes of hazard is being shown every day on Force Tv Channel.
TV from our childhood. My wife and I have all of the seasons of Duke's of Hazzard on DVD somewhere in our house. We sold our rural Upstate New York Dairy Farm last year and moved to a Kentucky Holler. We love it here. South and East of where we live is a Hazard Kentucky and I know that we've past a billboard sign for Cooter's Garage. Is there any connection with those two pieces of information to the show or cast? Thanks. Take care and GOD BLESS
Its great to hear about the details and behind the scenes of my favorite show growing up..Thank you John!
get the two books about the Dukes of Hazzard
Hello Mr Schneider how are you doing?
I've always wanted to meet you ever since i was a kid!
I still love the good ol Dukes of Hazzard show!
God Bless you and you family!
Very interesting thanks for that Mr Kent i mean Mr Schneider sorry they have been showing reruns of Smallville in Aussie for last couple of months ....something to watch when were all locked up...
Dukes is back on here in the UK with season 1 starting this week so enjoyed this video. Haven't seen these early episodes in well 40 years. I do remember as a kid watching the first episode and seeing Cooter drive the Ford Torino from Starsky and Hutch so that episode screened on Monday brought back happy memories.
if only we could get a tour of that set, i know its long gone but it would have been nice to see
Thanks for this I love Dukes, my husband bought me the boxed set for Christmas one year. Watch an episode every time I walk the treadmill.
Just watched Christmas Cars, what an excellent film, really enjoyed it and will be watching it many more times.
I love the one screen where Luke drinks a syrum and becomes evil
That 1 was funny and the 1 episode where Bo bumps his head and becomes Bo Hogg !!
@@CrazyLG72 liked that one as well
In various interviews way back when it was always talked about how Wopat could not swim. Yet he was out in the middle of the lake (swimming) on a few shows. Did they use his double as it sure looked like him. I know odd question. Or I guess he could tread water??? Thanks!
i have wondered the same thing
You mentioned Carnival of thrills...that's my favorite episode. I did an elementary school project around it. Even though it was fighting. Loved the stunt car made for that jump with the full roll cage and not much of an interior.
Thanks John , good stuff to watch during this craziness.Hope everyone is well down there take care.
Thanks John...Me and your fans would really like to hear an acoustic live jam some night. break out the old guitar and do what you do best brother ... help us all through these trying times
Love your videos love the show and I actually live not far from the city's where you filmed the Frist 5 episodes. I've been to Covington town square and the other city's. My dad thought they'd filmed it all in Georgia. But I had to tell him they didn't. But you guys did good replicating the Georgia scenery and all that. God bless you and have a good day.
The Dukes of Hazzard was one of my favorite shows growing up. I did totally dislike when they started shooting miniatures. I was a kid and noticed how fake it looked.
Hi again john. I also forgot to mention something elseabout the valencia oaks movie ranch . i know of two movies that were filmed there . the boars nest is a few scenes. One movie is a chevy chase movie called nothing but trouble. It is totally covered with lights and hub caps and surrounded by junk and old busus. U can also see the duke farm in the back ground towards the end of the movie. As well as tom sacramentos shop if u look really hard in a night scene or two.
Was any filming done at Universal Studios? My sister went there on her senior trip (1984) and saw some General Lees in the parking lots. My parents took me there in 1986 and of course I saw a bunch of vans used for The A-Team and Firebirds used for Knight Rider.
Awesome thanks for this really enjoy it now i gotta go back and watch my Dukes of Hazzard
DVDs
