I feel tim allen tries. I like his newest show. But it does lack the thrill the dukes brought. But yeah..... good tv is in the past. Andy Griffith always be my favorite i feel. Barney a lot like Rosco lol
Ironically the problem is similar to NASCAR money and fame, sold out. Star Wars faces similar challenges in that it is an established success versus the creative long shot it was in the beginning.
I watched Dukes religiously as a youngster. I would pretend that Bo was my boyfriend and my best friend, Rachel, would pretend that Luke was her boyfriend. I have the strawberry blonde hair and she has dark brown hair, so we "matched. I remember that my mother and I went to a yard sale once and I bought a halter top and some "Daisy Dukes" and wore them. My mother saw me in that outfit and she said "oh no, you are NOT going out like that"! I wanted to see what would happen if I did go out like that. Well, I did, and I got some "hoots and hollers" while I rode my bike through the neighborhood. LOL I got home and mom was pretty steamed. It was the 80's, and it was part of our childhood. I am so thankful to have had you guys part of our lives.
Hellk Lori, At the risk of coming off like a perv, which I'm not, did you keep the halter top and "Daisy Dukes"? I ask, because, if I remember correctly, Catherine Bach still has hers.
Hey John, No questions, just comments. First off, I really enjoyed The Dukes of Hazzard. I still watch it from time to time, including clips on you tube. My favorite thing about The Dukes of Hazzard was that it was family oriented and it had "cool" cars, and I was always smiling while watching it. Also, I did get to meet Tom Wopat, and Catherine Bach many years ago at two different car shows here in the Seattle area. I have a diecast car collection, and have the 1/18 and the 1/24 scale of the General Lee. It's one of my favorites...along with the Starsky and Hutch Torino, and the Batmobile. I just learned of your you tube channel and have subscribed, and also just learned of your music and will be checking that out as well. Anyway, thanks for letting me say what's my mind, and for all the years of TV enjoyment! -Ken
Duke Boys in trouble, about to go to commercial when you hear something like: "I dunno about y'all, but if the Duke Boys were in any tighter a spot, it'd make a diamond."
I was one of the most dedicated Duke's of Hazard fan alive. Our family watched the show religiously!! I was a young teen and dreamed of marrying Bo Duke. Now I have adult children and they all loved the show too. I have a little toddler shirt that belonged to my son, Jonathan. I've kept it through the years and one of my grandsons also wore it. It is so bittersweet to sit down and watch the videos now. I feel so sad knowing so many of the cast are gone now. Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories with us. God Bless you John.
I always watched it with my dad. Him liking it first was how I found out about the show. I never followed up on any of the actors until I saw John in Leverage as the bad country music producer, which he played very well. Then I started looking up names and bios. John is very talented and is doing a lot of great things. A true American hero...
When the show started I was 9 and my Mom and Dad were getting divorced. Even though they did their best to shield us from the side effects of divorce I had a really hard time with it. When that song started and I saw the general flying through the air all my troubles disappeared. Thanks for that!!
When my daughter was little, we had a copy of “Snowday” on VHS. Watched it several times, enjoyed it very much! You were an excellent evil weatherman! Enjoy your channel and wonderful memories of Dukes.
Back in the day my cousin and I used to pretend we were Bo and Luke we would set up the cushions on the sofa and slide in over the armrest inside like we were entering the General Lee LOL
To this day every time I see the intro to Dukes of Hazzard the combination of the scenes and the "Good Ole Boys" song by Waylon Jennings sends chills in my spine. I was over the top when they released the Dukes of Hazzard album I used to listen to your song "in the driver's seat" over and over again 😁🍺
I loved the dukes growing up as a child. Every time my friends and I would get we would always play the dukes of hazzard and I was always Bo, he was one of my heroes. I would always slide across the hood of my moms car and climb in through the windows. Great times, thank for all the memories, Mr. Schnieder
Why do I love The Dukes Of Hazzard? Because the show was a reflection of myself. I was 6yrs. old when the first episode hit the silver screen. I lived to see the dukes every friday night. Will always be my favorite show till I die. Just tired of the political correct BS of today.
Favorite? Better than Batman, 1950s Superman, Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, Rockford Files which is Mine, Charlie's Angels, Incredible Hulk, Dallas Another Favorite, 3s Company, Happy Days, The Love Boat, The ATeam, Hardcastle & McCormick, Family Affair, I Love Lucy, Ed Sullivan, Tonight Show, ETC. Really, DOH Is Above All of These???
Good ole boys till the day I die I almost killed myself a few times trying to jump my go carts I would screw up one then me and my cousins would fix it
The ending of the Christmas episode still makes me tear up! I can't describe why the Dukes are still relevant today. I think maybe because of how well the actors really felt the material and how everyone really got along! One of the best shows ever in my opinion, and needs to be aired once again asap!
Yes! Back when Country was still Country and didn’t suck like the last 21 years. I quit listening in 1998. Classic Country is still the best music ever.
Truth be told, the minute I was old enough to be a teenager with a driver's license, I quickly realized how hard it is to slide across a hood and get into a car through the window! 🤣 If it wasn't for the the Dukes of Hazard or the A-Team, I wouldn't be the man I am today!
Carnival of Thrills is my favorite John S episode. Ghost of General Lee is my favorite James Best episode. To go from the silly Roscoe to the sadness he felt when they went in the water and had to tell UJ... so sad.
I'm from corning ny....the Dukes of Hazzard was my childhood growing up looking up to you especially. I always dreamed of owning the General Lee ....it will always be a dream. But when ever I see the reruns on "TV" i feel young again and the memories fly through my head of how old i was where i was in life.....if i was single....just stupid stuff like that. But i did buy all the season one by one after my fire in 2000 when i lost everything. They weren't cheap. Do i eat today or buy a season? Buy a season I can eat.in a few days.....lol that's what got me through my losses was the reruns....just a all American family show that was so real in it's own way.....brought family's together on a friday night....list goes on.....
I can remember being a young kid going to my Grandma's house in Webster county West Virginia and she only got 2 channels on the TV antenna and was lucky to be able to watch the show.….all the roads going to her house where all dirt roads and when I use to ride my little Suzuki 75 Dirt bike on a nice sunny day I always wondered if you guys would fly down the road in the General Lee because all the roads looked the same there as on the show and I didn't know any better being a kid lol …...I'm so glad I got to grow up in those days and was able to watch the show ....TV today can never touch the good ole days!!
The Duke boys taught me growing up how to live life with the pedal down, have a good time, do right by others - and don't forget to be a good role model for others.
Dukes of hazzard was to me a learning show. Taught me to watch out for bad folks. Taught me to respect my elders (wow we need that in today’s society). And finally and most important is family. My family always ate dinner at the table. We didn’t get our food and go off to our self or whatever. DOH is so needed in today’s society to teach our young ones the proper way of life. Thank you John for all the work you put in to make clean movies that “Families” can watch together. Please continue your work. I know it can’t be easy.
Best part of the show was the end of the episodes. Everyone hanging out at the Boars Nest having a great time. Roy Orbison singing Pretty Woman sticks in head.
Im 26 and love Dukes of Hazzard!! I love watching late 70's and early 80's shows!! I always had a crush on Luke!! My favorite memory is watching it on tv land with my dad who watched it as a kid and would tell me stories about life back then.. simpler times! Favorite episode is definitely the whole 1st season. Those were my favorites..
1978 - My next door neighbor and best buddy had blond hair. I had dark hair. When we played Dukes, I was always Luke. But since I was the older kid, I usually drove The General Lee and usually got the (imaginary) girl. Memories
My husband and I watch these videos together. LOL He just told me that it would have been cool if we'd known one another back then so we could have had some fun Dukes play time together. LOL
My greatest memories of the dukes of hazzard is every episode and I'm a truck driver and a mopar car guy and when I whatch dukes of hazzard I fill a part of it
This is so cool never thought I would live to see the day that I can leave a comment directly to John Schneider!! Loved the show as a kid hope all is well with you and family
I always liked the jump from the 'River Styx' cliff in "Double Sting" (used on the opening credits second season onwards and recycled footage in a number of episodes), and that first classic jump over Rosco's car in "One Armed Bandits" - again used on the opening credits and one of the first bits of footage ever shot for the series; but I will admit the train jump in "Grannie Annie" is definitely up there, top three for me. To note is that they later replicated a similar stunt - Coy and Vance era, I believe - which many fans presume to be the original stunt just using different angles, but nope, they jumped a train twice. On a weekly TV show budget. You just don't get that kinda thing any more (and in that situation, CGI just doesn't cut it). :)
I wish there could be a reboot of the Dukes of Hazzard. I was 9 years old when the show came out. Me and my best friend were glued to the TV every Friday night. The show was a great moral compass for us, and it always kept our imaginations full of ideas like becoming Stunt Men one day and how to build a better ramp to jump our bikes. The Dukes of Hazzard touched so many people's lives and still does. I have every episode on DVD, and the series is one of my most cherished possessions. Thank You and everyone involved with making such a great show.
Best show ever - really wish it was still on. I remember when I was in 1st grade I was admitted to the hospital for blood infection on a Saturday - prayed and prayed that I'd be able to be home by Friday to see the next episode. I remember begging the doctor and my parents to let me be home in time. Thankfully I made it! :-) - The show debuted on my age 3 birthday! Some day I'd love to build my own General - hellcat engine and confederate flag of course!
Hi John, Italy here! I'm a (almost) fifty years old guy who enjoyed A LOT The Dukes of Hazzard. I wanna thank you and all the people that made that show one of the best memories of my teen years! And thanks for the kind, sympathetic, pleasant, humble and handsome human being you are! ..Oh my, I still dream about Daisy's legs and I still laugh at Rosco's lines.. :D :D
The Dukes of Hazzard was the highlight of Friday evening for us and I am a native Georgian. My Mother lived in Youth Ga. Between Monroe and Loganville which makes it kind of sentimental to this day for me. I remember arguing in school that your hair was not colored because I had the same long cotton blonde hair that you had. That show displayed more about country life and hospitality in Ga, better than any other ever has. I want to thank you for bringing families together on a friday night.
The reason Dukes are important to me is that , it reminds me of home , when I was a kid . God ,family , helping each other , and values of simple country home life. I will always be a Good Ole Boy !!! Much Love Hazzard Nation !!!
I am nearly 25 years old and my dad showed me Dukes when I was a child on CMT I loved it and to this day I will watch it over and over. It was a wholesome show, it was entertaining and it had fast cars. That first season will forever be my favourite especially the episodes filmed in Georgia it was just authentic
John, I am just so glad you popped by. You're amazing. Thanks for letting us know the answers to our questions about The best show ever. Oh, I miss them good old days. I loved that show. Yep you had that hair back in the day and still do. What was your best scene with Roscoe? Were the doors on the General Lee not able to open? Your videos are so awesome and I love the magic tricks you do. Hilarious. Love all you do best wishes to you and your wife. 😃 I was sitting here thinking. I believe it's not right that TV land wouldn't carry the episodes. The Dukes of Hazzard is the best show that ever came on television. A show that was a big part of my childhood.
@@debbiesmitherman9295 no actually in some of the earlier episodes you see the dome light on...and I've caught the actors jumping in and slamming the door....ah the wonders of DVD!
@@100Aces really? I didn't know that. It was in the earlier episodes? When I was growing up that show was my life. Really The Dukes Of Hazzard was the only good show back then in my book.
One of my favorite episode, was when the 2 bad guys that rob the armor truck, and wore the look alike mask of Bo and Luke. And the double General lee cars.
Mr Schneider, you have no idea on how much I loved the dukes of hazzard growing up. I always wanted to be the 3rd cousin "louie duke" and hang with you guys and drive around in the general lee. The dukes of hazzard will forever be in my heart 👍 thank you for being a part of a great childhood.
I love how just in your answers that you have such a love for this show, for the history/legacy of it, and for all that were involved with it whether stunt people or fellow actors! Bet you had a blast on that set!! It was a pleasure to meet you and Tom in Pittsburgh where I got my die cast car signed a few years back. Now I need to get Catherine's added to it! Thanks again for all of the awesome childhood memories!
Hey John when I was a kid the Dukes of Hazzard was everything to me I wanted so much to hang out with you and Luke. Now I watch repeats and its brings me back to the good old days of being on the farm with my grandparents and looking forward to Friday night. By the way I tried jumping everything I could. We had an old 50 something Willy's that I tried to jump. I only got off the ground about 6 inches but when I landed my head hit the ceiling so hard I almost knocked myself out. Great times!
I am from Baltimore, live 30 miles north now, and loved the show while growing up. Always have great memories. Dukes was a clean show, and appreciated the family values. Would of loved to ride in the General Lee!
My favorite thing was Uncle Jesse's love for his three young people in the house. Daisy was always happy & sweet to people. Bo & Luke's adventures were daring, exciting, and they always solved the mystery of what Boss Hog was up to. The idea of the family bond. On Christmas Eve Uncle Jesse told Boss Hog to come on in the house for Christmas, eventhough he had been mean to Uncle Jesse. You could feel a real-life bond between the Characters while watching, it is unexplainable! The one that was super funn was when Boss Hog & Roscoe dressed as women. (decoy for the diamond necklace thief) When they walked down the stairs at Boss Hoss's house dressed up like women, they were hilarious! I'm big smiles just typing about it!😁😀😃❤❤❤
John, I remember the night Dukes aired on TV for the first time. I was able to convince my Father to watch it. He loved Sorrel and James from their prior work. Then of course Catherine did not hurt the chances of him letting this air in our house again. Denver was an awesome actor and I loved him on Grizzly Adams. Thank you for the fond memories as I grew up in a 1969 Dodge Charger as well. lol 440 4bbl God Bless
John I'm pushing 44 now and the dukes was by far my favorite show growing up my dad wired James Bests house on lake hickory and got to meet him before he past away y'all will be in my heart forever long live the Dukes Of Hazzard
Hello John, I remember being a little girl and yelling "yeeeee haw!" every time the General Lee flew up in the air. The greatest moment in the show for a little girl. lol The reason why I knew about this show was because my whole family watched it back then. There was a Dukes of Hazard poster on the inside of one of my grandma's cupboards in her kitchen for many, many, years. It was the one with you, Tom, and Catherine on it. Sadly, she has passed but this show and Hee Haw bring back so many memories of being in my grandma's living room, with my family, and just waiting in excited anticipation for an orange car to jump into the air.
@Jools - I also used to think Barbara and Catherine Bach were sisters but they're not related at all. Barbara's sister Marjorie Bach is married to Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh. I don't think Catherine has a sister, she has a brother named Philip Bachman.
@bigeric - Ringo Starr is married to Barbara Bach, they met while filming the 1981 classic, _Caveman_ . Very zany movie, basically no English language in the movie, lots of grunting lol. I saw it a long time ago, if anyone wanted to check it out the full movie is here on youtube ... th-cam.com/video/YxDjnTrRSiA/w-d-xo.html
I remember watching the pilot and thinking "oh man he might be too young". He ended up being my favorite Pa Kent, so very closely next to Glenn Ford (briefly in Superman '78). Thank you, John for decades of entertainment!
In today's Streaming culture, families don't seem to sit down together to watch shows anymore. When I saw that Dukes was on Amazon Prime, I called my kids in and we all sat on the couch together and watched it. My younger kids loved it. My teenage daughter's loved John...(the more things change the more they stay the same, etc.). Thanks for making these videos, answering questions, giving us the "inside scoop" as it were into Dukes life.
You are absolutely right John about this show and how family-orientated it was. It's sad the way programmes have gone but it makes The Dukes of Hazzard even more special and a real timeless classic. I'm enjoying watching all these videos made by you and James Best too. There's probably loads more of others if I keep searching. It's so lovely to see how close you all really were and even off camera and well after the show ended, how much respect you still have for one another. You really do lift my confidence that family values still actually exist! I could probably think of hundreds of questions as I was and still am a huge fan to this day but I'll narrow down to two for now... I have Sky, Netflix and Amazon Prime - is the 2005 Reunion film anywhere and which channel would I most likely to see the original TV episodes? I managed to tape a handful a few years ago but not sure which channel it was? 2nd question - I'm nearly sure you and Tom got replaced for a while - which was just awful - no disrespect to the actors but you were badly missed then came back. What was that all about? My biggest regret was not getting a die cast General Lee car when I was a child but...I did have the Dukes of Hazzard horns in 2 of my cars years later lol!
Dukes of Hazzard, was so well balanced. Was exciting, fast cars, suspense, values, and loyalty, above all love. That is why we love this show. It should still be aired today. Shows values and respect, love of people and family. People today should watch it.
Watched it every Friday night growing up 1979-85. I'm 47, still have a 1:24th scale diecast General Lee (I had all the HOTWHEELS & others, action figures, had all the snap & glue together models & a remote control General) brand new in box, unopened. I sat in one of the 'touring' General's in Waterloo, Iowa in 1982. You were my childhood IDOL, John. Thank you!
John, I loved in "One Armed Bandits" where the General Lee pulls into the Boars Nest with chrome rocker panels, it's the only time in the series that the General has chrome rockers. It's like putting it in a tuxedo and I loved it!
I'm from Chile, I grew up watching The Dukes of Hazzard back in the 80' and I have great memories of my childhood enjoying the show. Now as an adult I think the show brings a lot of nostalgia and still remains in the hearts of many fans around the world. But I think that its great contribution beyond being a healthy show with a lot of humor and action, was the fact that it was so authentic but also highlighted the American values from the Founding Fathers: Life, Liberty and Property that would come to be a libertarian influence. and it also has a conservative side: God, Country and Family. For me, those are values that a good show must transmit. Greetings from Chilean Patagonia 🇨🇱✌️.
John Schneider, I have every Dukes of Hazard episode on dvd. It was and is the greatest show ever made. Fast cars, real southern boys, integrity, and a true understanding of the south. Thank you for everything you did for the show.
@@derangedgarage7121 best way to get the correct color is T-5 Chrysler bronze base coat....and F 70 Chevrolet flame red top coat, it turns out orange and was actually the original color!
I like the show because of the faith in God, the message of the importance of faith, morality, honesty, hard work and friends and family As well as wholesome clean living.
I'm so glad I found this channel! Dukes of Hazzard was my show as a kid. I even asked my parents to call me "Bo" because he got most of the girls. Ha! Thank you for doing this Mr. Schneider! You are a fantastic human and it makes me feel better about celebs like you. Your are real, and good. Thank you again.
I luv that your doing these videos. Grew up watching the Dukes in the 80s and I still watch it now. Much love to you John from Canada and keep up the great work.
In all honesty Today’s my Birthday and I wish I could get a happy birthday wish from John. That would make my birthday.. I too grew up watching the dukes on tv
Cool cool cool! You got a happy birthday from Bo Duke. And now you got one from me, happy birthday cousin. We're all cousins in the Dukes of Hazzard world.
The reason why the Dukes of Hazzard is still important to me. My back story quickly. Im from the midwest Iowa to be exact. I was born in 1977 I grew up with my Grandparents till i was 5. Friday nights as far back a i can remember. Was us going out to eat and then coming home and watching the Dukes of Hazard with my Grandfather. I would dance to the intro of the show and sing along. While my grandpa watched. I even got to have a picture of myself with one of touring show cars of the General Lee at the Iowa state fair when i was 4 years old. I lost my Grandfather in 1998 but everytime I watch the Dukes it takes me back to their living room floor as a kid just having a great friday night with his grandpa. Thank all of you for making a show that has been something i still love and a way for a memory of my past always made fresh in my mind. Keep up all the good that you do and hopefully someday i can make it to a Bo extravaganza to see you in person. Im also preodering Christmas cars after typing this to you. Godbless
Ok so we also now know John still hangs out with Tom and that's pretty cool John is Originally from New York so he choose to be a Good ole boy and that too is pretty cool 👌😎
Used to watch Dukes with my grandpa and my cousin. Loved everything from the theme song to the closing credits. Thanks for the behind the scenes stuff you are doing now John. Much appreciated sir.
honesty and integrity.the dukes were like family to me.family that I didn't know but I could trust.john you and the cast will always be like family to me.thanx so much for the memories.
Between the Dukes and the A Team, my childhood was awesome.
TheRoadhammer379 and Knight Rider!!
And the Incredible Hulk.
@@phoenixblack1220 the night rider yes that show was awesome and chips of course the dukes of hazzard and the hulk.
I love the dukes and A-team also, but knight rider and simon and simon also
What about Knight Rider??
They do not know how to make TV like the Dukes anymore that’s why we watch TH-cam videos like this today.
Ben Beam, absolutely right!!
Precisely!
they can't anymore due to political correctness.
I feel tim allen tries. I like his newest show. But it does lack the thrill the dukes brought. But yeah..... good tv is in the past. Andy Griffith always be my favorite i feel. Barney a lot like Rosco lol

Funny 😂
I loved the morals and family and friends principals from Duke's of Hazzard
Funny 😆
"The Dukes" completely changed the way I played with my Hot Wheels.
Holy shit same here😂
The Dukes changed the way I played with my brothers' hot wheels and I'm a female. By the way, don't tell my brothers, lol.
You win the internet! Dude, this is so true! I used to jump my cars because of the General.
Changed the way I looked at cars and influenced my driving style some. 😜
They were also the reason I drove my mom crazy by wanting to get out of the car through the window.
Watching Dukes of Hazzard with my grandparents are some of my best memories. Back when TV wasn’t filth
I’m 11 years old and I love the Dukes of Hazzard. Wish it was still up.
IMDb APP 🙂
TripleJ What’s that supposed to mean oh never mind
@@jordangamesvlogs9892 lol 🙂✌
Shows like the Dukes are still important because it brings back the good feelings you had when you first saw the series.
Funny 😹
I have the upmost respect for John... Such a great human being and the way he Treats his long Term fans is simply amazing.
Agreed! John Schneider is a class act.
He act very short with me he didn’t want to talk as I met him at comic con he want to talk more to his agent
Duke Boys in trouble, about to go to commercial when you hear something like: "I dunno about y'all, but if the Duke Boys were in any tighter a spot, it'd make a diamond."
I never in a million years dreamed I'd be sitting here watching this. I can't lie, I married you at age eight!! I'm 46 now and I still love you!!
One resounding reason this show means so much...Family. Period.
I was one of the most dedicated Duke's of Hazard fan alive. Our family watched the show religiously!! I was a young teen and dreamed of marrying Bo Duke. Now I have adult children and they all loved the show too. I have a little toddler shirt that belonged to my son, Jonathan. I've kept it through the years and one of my grandsons also wore it. It is so bittersweet to sit down and watch the videos now. I feel so sad knowing so many of the cast are gone now. Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories with us. God Bless you John.
I crew up with the Dukes and I still like that show, even till this day.
Did you J Crew up with them too?
@@TheKdizzle1971 no... I didn't go that far.
my favorite thing about the show is WHEN MY DAD was alive watching it with him
Now I have the whole. Tv series
I always watched it with my dad. Him liking it first was how I found out about the show. I never followed up on any of the actors until I saw John in Leverage as the bad country music producer, which he played very well. Then I started looking up names and bios. John is very talented and is doing a lot of great things. A true American hero...
I fell in love with dukes at the age of 8 and I'm still in love 16 years later. Dukes was my childhood. I know I will share it with my kids someday.
When the show started I was 9 and my Mom and Dad were getting divorced. Even though they did their best to shield us from the side effects of divorce I had a really hard time with it. When that song started and I saw the general flying through the air all my troubles disappeared. Thanks for that!!
I loved Ghost of General Lee! We stopped messing around outside and ran into my house to watch it!
Me too.
EVERYTIME I see a ramp...I cant help but think about jumpin it!! 🤔🤣
When my daughter was little, we had a copy of “Snowday” on VHS. Watched it several times, enjoyed it very much! You were an excellent evil weatherman! Enjoy your channel and wonderful memories of Dukes.
Back in the day my cousin and I used to pretend we were Bo and Luke we would set up the cushions on the sofa and slide in over the armrest inside like we were entering the General Lee LOL
I was 9 years old when the show began and Daisy Duke was the first “woman of my dreams.” All my friends preferred Farrah Fawcett.
daisy was better,
Fawcett
Daisy Duke by a long shot!
right we all loved daisy duke yeah
Both what a childhood we had!!! Now they get asked what gender they are in kindergarten.
To this day every time I see the intro to Dukes of Hazzard the combination of the scenes and the "Good Ole Boys" song by Waylon Jennings sends chills in my spine. I was over the top when they released the Dukes of Hazzard album I used to listen to your song "in the driver's seat" over and over again 😁🍺
I loved the dukes growing up as a child. Every time my friends and I would get we would always play the dukes of hazzard and I was always Bo, he was one of my heroes. I would always slide across the hood of my moms car and climb in through the windows. Great times, thank for all the memories, Mr. Schnieder

Really, DOH Is Above All of These???
Good ole boys till the day I die I almost killed myself a few times trying to jump my go carts I would screw up one then me and my cousins would fix it
I was 5- I even had the Dukes of Hazzard curtains and bed covers
@@jefflambert6864 I had them to a I had the barn
Me to. When Friday came I would realize while I was @ school that the dukes would be coming on & I was so happy the rest of the day. 😊
The ending of the Christmas episode still makes me tear up! I can't describe why the Dukes are still relevant today. I think maybe because of how well the actors really felt the material and how everyone really got along! One of the best shows ever in my opinion, and needs to be aired once again asap!
I watch the Duke's almost every night on DVD!! There will NEVER be another show like the Duke's of Hazzard!!
i watched the dukes of hazzard literally everyday when i was a kid
And you don't now? What the hell is a matter with you?!
@@refrigeratoraptitudetest204 stfu
I think my favorite parts of the Dukes was when they always pulled over country singers and made them play off their tickets at the Nest
Yes! Back when Country was still Country and didn’t suck like the last 21 years. I quit listening in 1998. Classic Country is still the best music ever.
Even as a young girl, I really enjoyed the Dukes. Bo was my favorite, and still is. Better with age.
Growing up in the 70's and 80's were the best times ever! Best cars, best music and best TV shows.
Truth be told, the minute I was old enough to be a teenager with a driver's license, I quickly realized how hard it is to slide across a hood and get into a car through the window! 🤣
If it wasn't for the the Dukes of Hazard or the A-Team, I wouldn't be the man I am today!
I liked the Dukes of Hazzard, because they brought that "movie
excitement" to a weekly tv show.
Great answer!
We used to race home to watch re runs of the dukes of hazard. I was upset if we missed the opening credits! Yee hahhh
Carnival of Thrills is my favorite John S episode. Ghost of General Lee is my favorite James Best episode. To go from the silly Roscoe to the sadness he felt when they went in the water and had to tell UJ... so sad.
I'm from corning ny....the Dukes of Hazzard was my childhood growing up looking up to you especially. I always dreamed of owning the General Lee ....it will always be a dream. But when ever I see the reruns on "TV" i feel young again and the memories fly through my head of how old i was where i was in life.....if i was single....just stupid stuff like that. But i did buy all the season one by one after my fire in 2000 when i lost everything. They weren't cheap. Do i eat today or buy a season? Buy a season I can eat.in a few days.....lol that's what got me through my losses was the reruns....just a all American family show that was so real in it's own way.....brought family's together on a friday night....list goes on.....
I can remember being a young kid going to my Grandma's house in Webster county West Virginia and she only got 2 channels on the TV antenna and was lucky to be able to watch the show.….all the roads going to her house where all dirt roads and when I use to ride my little Suzuki 75 Dirt bike on a nice sunny day I always wondered if you guys would fly down the road in the General Lee because all the roads looked the same there as on the show and I didn't know any better being a kid lol …...I'm so glad I got to grow up in those days and was able to watch the show ....TV today can never touch the good ole days!!
Love all of that. Thanks for sharing these great memories!
The Duke boys taught me growing up how to live life with the pedal down, have a good time, do right by others - and don't forget to be a good role model for others.
I loved tThe Ghost of The General Lee. Because Rosco’s look so was priceless.
Dukes of hazzard was to me a learning show. Taught me to watch out for bad folks. Taught me to respect my elders (wow we need that in today’s society). And finally and most important is family. My family always ate dinner at the table. We didn’t get our food and go off to our self or whatever. DOH is so needed in today’s society to teach our young ones the proper way of life. Thank you John for all the work you put in to make clean movies that “Families” can watch together. Please continue your work. I know it can’t be easy.
Best part of the show was the end of the episodes. Everyone hanging out at the Boars Nest having a great time. Roy Orbison singing Pretty Woman sticks in head.
Im 26 and love Dukes of Hazzard!! I love watching late 70's and early 80's shows!! I always had a crush on Luke!! My favorite memory is watching it on tv land with my dad who watched it as a kid and would tell me stories about life back then.. simpler times! Favorite episode is definitely the whole 1st season. Those were my favorites..
1978 - My next door neighbor and best buddy had blond hair. I had dark hair. When we played Dukes, I was always Luke. But since I was the older kid, I usually drove The General Lee and usually got the (imaginary) girl. Memories
My husband and I watch these videos together. LOL He just told me that it would have been cool if we'd known one another back then so we could have had some fun Dukes play time together. LOL
My greatest memories of the dukes of hazzard is every episode and I'm a truck driver and a mopar car guy and when I whatch dukes of hazzard I fill a part of it
This is so cool never thought I would live to see the day that I can leave a comment directly to John Schneider!! Loved the show as a kid hope all is well with you and family
Thanks for keeping us going!
Best General jump.....”Granny Annie’s” train yard jump. It’s just beauty in motion.
Alan Wyatt Junior. 187 feet. We talk about it in Christmas cars! Oxnard, CA.
Still holds at least one world record, doesn’t it?
I always liked the jump from the 'River Styx' cliff in "Double Sting" (used on the opening credits second season onwards and recycled footage in a number of episodes), and that first classic jump over Rosco's car in "One Armed Bandits" - again used on the opening credits and one of the first bits of footage ever shot for the series; but I will admit the train jump in "Grannie Annie" is definitely up there, top three for me. To note is that they later replicated a similar stunt - Coy and Vance era, I believe - which many fans presume to be the original stunt just using different angles, but nope, they jumped a train twice. On a weekly TV show budget. You just don't get that kinda thing any more (and in that situation, CGI just doesn't cut it). :)
I wish there could be a reboot of the Dukes of Hazzard. I was 9 years old when the show came out. Me and my best friend were glued to the TV every Friday night. The show was a great moral compass for us, and it always kept our imaginations full of ideas like becoming Stunt Men one day and how to build a better ramp to jump our bikes. The Dukes of Hazzard touched so many people's lives and still does. I have every episode on DVD, and the series is one of my most cherished possessions. Thank You and everyone involved with making such a great show.
Friday nights was my nights with my dad. I'll always cherish those days and now my dad has gone to heaven I watch these episodes with a smile.
Best show ever - really wish it was still on. I remember when I was in 1st grade I was admitted to the hospital for blood infection on a Saturday - prayed and prayed that I'd be able to be home by Friday to see the next episode. I remember begging the doctor and my parents to let me be home in time. Thankfully I made it! :-) - The show debuted on my age 3 birthday! Some day I'd love to build my own General - hellcat engine and confederate flag of course!
Is there a chance you can get Tom or any of the other stars to do a cameo on your channel?
I agree
That would be awesome if John could get them to do a cameo or even do a live show with them.
Hi John, Italy here! I'm a (almost) fifty years old guy who enjoyed A LOT The Dukes of Hazzard. I wanna thank you and all the people that made that show one of the best memories of my teen years! And thanks for the kind, sympathetic, pleasant, humble and handsome human being you are!
..Oh my, I still dream about Daisy's legs and I still laugh at Rosco's lines.. :D :D
The Dukes of Hazzard was the highlight of Friday evening for us and I am a native Georgian. My Mother lived in Youth Ga. Between Monroe and Loganville which makes it kind of sentimental to this day for me. I remember arguing in school that your hair was not colored because I had the same long cotton blonde hair that you had.
That show displayed more about country life and hospitality in Ga, better than any other ever has. I want to thank you for bringing families together on a friday night.
The reason Dukes are important to me is that , it reminds me of home , when I was a kid . God ,family , helping each other , and values of simple country home life. I will always be a Good Ole Boy !!! Much Love Hazzard Nation !!!
I remember watching Dukes when I was 4 years old, in 1980. I knew when the opening credits of Dallas came on, it was time for bed.
Yup....Dallas....bed!
Same here. I recall one Fri. evening when another episode followed.
Felt like I d won a jackpot. Course Momma let me stay up for it.😁
@@keithjohnston6861 ..Probably thousands!!!! 200 is very low!!! 2,000 would be my guess!
I am nearly 25 years old and my dad showed me Dukes when I was a child on CMT I loved it and to this day I will watch it over and over. It was a wholesome show, it was entertaining and it had fast cars. That first season will forever be my favourite especially the episodes filmed in Georgia it was just authentic
Sitting in front of the TV with a grilled cheese and tomato soup watching Dukes of Hazzard is one of the best memories I have.
John, I am just so glad you popped by. You're amazing. Thanks for letting us know the answers to our questions about The best show ever. Oh, I miss them good old days. I loved that show. Yep you had that hair back in the day and still do. What was your best scene with Roscoe? Were the doors on the General Lee not able to open? Your videos are so awesome and I love the magic tricks you do. Hilarious. Love all you do best wishes to you and your wife. 😃 I was sitting here thinking. I believe it's not right that TV land wouldn't carry the episodes. The Dukes of Hazzard is the best show that ever came on television. A show that was a big part of my childhood.
The General Lee was a race car, hence the doors not opening.
@@theone2be33yeah I know it was a race car I was just wandering if when they were making the episodes were the doors really made shut.
@@debbiesmitherman9295 no actually in some of the earlier episodes you see the dome light on...and I've caught the actors jumping in and slamming the door....ah the wonders of DVD!
@@100Aces really? I didn't know that. It was in the earlier episodes? When I was growing up that show was my life. Really The Dukes Of Hazzard was the only good show back then in my book.
One of my favorite episode, was when the 2 bad guys that rob the armor truck, and wore the look alike mask of Bo and Luke. And the double General lee cars.
Mr Schneider, you have no idea on how much I loved the dukes of hazzard growing up. I always wanted to be the 3rd cousin "louie duke" and hang with you guys and drive around in the general lee. The dukes of hazzard will forever be in my heart 👍 thank you for being a part of a great childhood.
My 2 nephews and I would watch every week, they are grown men now but we still talk about those fun filled Duke nights. Such fond memories
I love these little quick q and a's sessions learn a lot about a great show Dukes of Hazzard
You're the best John, I had the honour of meeting you in Toronto a few years back you are a real Class Act
I love how just in your answers that you have such a love for this show, for the history/legacy of it, and for all that were involved with it whether stunt people or fellow actors! Bet you had a blast on that set!! It was a pleasure to meet you and Tom in Pittsburgh where I got my die cast car signed a few years back. Now I need to get Catherine's added to it! Thanks again for all of the awesome childhood memories!
Hey John when I was a kid the Dukes of Hazzard was everything to me I wanted so much to hang out with you and Luke. Now I watch repeats and its brings me back to the good old days of being on the farm with my grandparents and looking forward to Friday night. By the way I tried jumping everything I could. We had an old 50 something Willy's that I tried to jump. I only got off the ground about 6 inches but when I landed my head hit the ceiling so hard I almost knocked myself out. Great times!
When the Dukes where on I was in my orange bean bag with the 01 I marked on the sides with a marker and a bag of chips and a Coke. Loved ever show.
Woo hoo! Love these videos keep em coming!
I am from Baltimore, live 30 miles north now, and loved the show while growing up. Always have great memories. Dukes was a clean show, and appreciated the family values. Would of loved to ride in the General Lee!
My favorite thing was Uncle Jesse's love for his three young people in the house. Daisy was always happy & sweet to people. Bo & Luke's adventures were daring, exciting, and they always solved the mystery of what Boss Hog was up to. The idea of the family bond. On Christmas Eve Uncle Jesse told Boss Hog to come on in the house for Christmas, eventhough he had been mean to Uncle Jesse. You could feel a real-life bond between the Characters while watching, it is unexplainable! The one that was super funn was when Boss Hog & Roscoe dressed as women. (decoy for the diamond necklace thief) When they walked down the stairs at Boss Hoss's house dressed up like women, they were hilarious! I'm big smiles just typing about it!😁😀😃❤❤❤
I’m 46 years old and I can’t wait to see the movie Christmas cars.
All I want for Christmas is a Christmas car 🎁
John, I remember the night Dukes aired on TV for the first time. I was able to convince my Father to watch it. He loved Sorrel and James from their prior work. Then of course Catherine did not hurt the chances of him letting this air in our house again. Denver was an awesome actor and I loved him on Grizzly Adams. Thank you for the fond memories as I grew up in a 1969 Dodge Charger as well. lol 440 4bbl God Bless
John I'm pushing 44 now and the dukes was by far my favorite show growing up my dad wired James Bests house on lake hickory and got to meet him before he past away y'all will be in my heart forever long live the Dukes Of Hazzard
Hello John, I remember being a little girl and yelling "yeeeee haw!" every time the General Lee flew up in the air. The greatest moment in the show for a little girl. lol The reason why I knew about this show was because my whole family watched it back then. There was a Dukes of Hazard poster on the inside of one of my grandma's cupboards in her kitchen for many, many, years. It was the one with you, Tom, and Catherine on it. Sadly, she has passed but this show and Hee Haw bring back so many memories of being in my grandma's living room, with my family, and just waiting in excited anticipation for an orange car to jump into the air.
If I had to drown, that is how i would want to do it. With Catherine Bach!
Amen
Daisy duke, what a total babe, and her sister barbara the baddy bond girl, what a 3some that would be!
@Jools - I also used to think Barbara and Catherine Bach were sisters but they're not related at all. Barbara's sister Marjorie Bach is married to Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh. I don't think Catherine has a sister, she has a brother named Philip Bachman.
StuntingSteamMcQueen Ringo is married to Marjorie, isn’t he? I know they’re brothers-in-law somehow.
@bigeric - Ringo Starr is married to Barbara Bach, they met while filming the 1981 classic, _Caveman_ . Very zany movie, basically no English language in the movie, lots of grunting lol. I saw it a long time ago, if anyone wanted to check it out the full movie is here on youtube ...

I wish they’d play reruns of DOH instead of The Big Bang Theory reruns every night!
They do in the UK every other night or so . Free view forces tv
The SJWs would cry bloody hell at the first sight of general Lee.
John Schneider was good as Jonathan Kent on 'Smallville'
Absolutely! Perfect casting
I think he was the best actor on that show.
I remember watching the pilot and thinking "oh man he might be too young". He ended up being my favorite Pa Kent, so very closely next to Glenn Ford (briefly in Superman '78). Thank you, John for decades of entertainment!
yes ma'am
In today's Streaming culture, families don't seem to sit down together to watch shows anymore. When I saw that Dukes was on Amazon Prime, I called my kids in and we all sat on the couch together and watched it. My younger kids loved it. My teenage daughter's loved John...(the more things change the more they stay the same, etc.).
Thanks for making these videos, answering questions, giving us the "inside scoop" as it were into Dukes life.
I grew up on Dukes of Hazzard reruns I own all of the series on DVD, it upset me when they said they would no longer air them on TV
If I wasn't looking at the screen I'd think this is Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.
Lol John talks and sounds just like Mike Rowe. I think it would be really funny to have them interview each other.
@@GeneralLee131 or to even just have a conversation, they are VERY similar people in their thoughts and actions
You are absolutely right John about this show and how family-orientated it was. It's sad the way programmes have gone but it makes The Dukes of Hazzard even more special and a real timeless classic. I'm enjoying watching all these videos made by you and James Best too. There's probably loads more of others if I keep searching. It's so lovely to see how close you all really were and even off camera and well after the show ended, how much respect you still have for one another. You really do lift my confidence that family values still actually exist! I could probably think of hundreds of questions as I was and still am a huge fan to this day but I'll narrow down to two for now... I have Sky, Netflix and Amazon Prime - is the 2005 Reunion film anywhere and which channel would I most likely to see the original TV episodes? I managed to tape a handful a few years ago but not sure which channel it was? 2nd question - I'm nearly sure you and Tom got replaced for a while - which was just awful - no disrespect to the actors but you were badly missed then came back. What was that all about? My biggest regret was not getting a die cast General Lee car when I was a child but...I did have the Dukes of Hazzard horns in 2 of my cars years later lol!
Dukes of Hazzard, was so well balanced. Was exciting, fast cars, suspense, values, and loyalty, above all love.
That is why we love this show.
It should still be aired today. Shows values and respect, love of people and family. People today should watch it.
When Bo and Luke fought each other it disturbed me as an 8yr old boy. Still does, 40yrs later hahaha
Could you talk about having Cale Yarborough on the show? One of the best racers of all time. Keep up the great videos.
Watched it every Friday night growing up 1979-85. I'm 47, still have a 1:24th scale diecast General Lee (I had all the HOTWHEELS & others, action figures, had all the snap & glue together models & a remote control General) brand new in box, unopened. I sat in one of the 'touring' General's in Waterloo, Iowa in 1982. You were my childhood IDOL, John. Thank you!
John, I loved in "One Armed Bandits" where the General Lee pulls into the Boars Nest with chrome rocker panels, it's the only time in the series that the General has chrome rockers. It's like putting it in a tuxedo and I loved it!
Keep up the good work John. You've had an interesting life and are a Hollywood legend.
I loved that show because of that General Lee and Bo Always shouting Yee-Haa every Time they took a jump
I'm from Chile, I grew up watching The Dukes of Hazzard back in the 80' and I have great memories of my childhood enjoying the show. Now as an adult I think the show brings a lot of nostalgia and still remains in the hearts of many fans around the world. But I think that its great contribution beyond being a healthy show with a lot of humor and action, was the fact that it was so authentic but also highlighted the American values from the Founding Fathers: Life, Liberty and Property that would come to be a libertarian influence. and it also has a conservative side: God, Country and Family. For me, those are values that a good show must transmit. Greetings from Chilean Patagonia 🇨🇱✌️.
John Schneider, I have every Dukes of Hazard episode on dvd. It was and is the greatest show ever made. Fast cars, real southern boys, integrity, and a true understanding of the south. Thank you for everything you did for the show.
I still remember exactly where I was when I watched my first episode of the Dukes of Hazzard. I also think I learned to drive from Bo Duke lol
Deranged Garage got my first go kart Christmas 1979 after seeing the first season. Poor yard never had a chance.
I'm also building a 74 Plymouth Scamp right now and I'm going to paint it the color of the General and put a Dixie horn in it
@@derangedgarage7121 best way to get the correct color is T-5 Chrysler bronze base coat....and F 70 Chevrolet flame red top coat, it turns out orange and was actually the original color!
@@100Aces I didn't know that. I was going to use Hemi orange
I like the show because of the faith in God, the message of the importance of faith, morality, honesty, hard work and friends and family
As well as wholesome clean living.
AMEN May God Bless All WWG1WGA 👼👼🥰🥰💝💝🙏🙏✝️✝️
I'm so glad I found this channel! Dukes of Hazzard was my show as a kid. I even asked my parents to call me "Bo" because he got most of the girls. Ha! Thank you for doing this Mr. Schneider! You are a fantastic human and it makes me feel better about celebs like you. Your are real, and good. Thank you again.
I luv that your doing these videos. Grew up watching the Dukes in the 80s and I still watch it now. Much love to you John from Canada and keep up the great work.
I would love if you and Tom could do another movie like ( Christmas comes to willow creek ) it is a tradition at our house!
T.A. Brown that IS a great movie
T.A. Brown, love that movie. Watched it recently.
In all honesty Today’s my Birthday and I wish I could get a happy birthday wish from John. That would make my birthday.. I too grew up watching the dukes on tv
Happy Birthday Mike! Yee Haa!
You just made my day!!! Thank you John!!! Yee haa!!
Cool cool cool! You got a happy birthday from Bo Duke. And now you got one from me, happy birthday cousin. We're all cousins in the Dukes of Hazzard world.
Happy birthday Mike! (From another Mike)
Archery Hunter Mike, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!
The reason why the Dukes of Hazzard is still important to me. My back story quickly. Im from the midwest Iowa to be exact. I was born in 1977 I grew up with my Grandparents till i was 5. Friday nights as far back a i can remember. Was us going out to eat and then coming home and watching the Dukes of Hazard with my Grandfather. I would dance to the intro of the show and sing along. While my grandpa watched. I even got to have a picture of myself with one of touring show cars of the General Lee at the Iowa state fair when i was 4 years old. I lost my Grandfather in 1998 but everytime I watch the Dukes it takes me back to their living room floor as a kid just having a great friday night with his grandpa. Thank all of you for making a show that has been something i still love and a way for a memory of my past always made fresh in my mind. Keep up all the good that you do and hopefully someday i can make it to a Bo extravaganza to see you in person. Im also preodering Christmas cars after typing this to you. Godbless
I used to lay my head in my mommas lap to watch the Dukes every week...wonderful memories...
Ok so we also now know John still hangs out with Tom and that's pretty cool John is Originally from New York so he choose to be a Good ole boy and that too is pretty cool 👌😎
Never ending battle....lol Always new questions.
Used to watch Dukes with my grandpa and my cousin. Loved everything from the theme song to the closing credits. Thanks for the behind the scenes stuff you are doing now John. Much appreciated sir.
honesty and integrity.the dukes were like family to me.family that I didn't know but I could trust.john you and the cast will always be like family to me.thanx so much for the memories.
