Maybe they could have said the cartoon was a story Daisy was writing; or the cartoon was just a dream. Hey it worked for Dallas and Married With Children.😅😅😂😂😂
I couldn't agree with you more! Along with Peter "Optimus Prime" Cullen and the late Casey "Shaggy" Kasem, Frank Welker is a legend in the world of voiceovers...among Welker's countless voiceover roles--many of which are too numerous to list in my comment--are Megatron on "The Transformers," Dr. Claw on "Inspector Gadget," and of course, Fred Jones in Hanna-Barbera's venerable (and long-running) "Scooby-Doo" franchise; coincidentally, he currently supplies the voice of Scooby-Doo (Welker replaced the late, great Don Messick after Messick's death in 1997).
Actually, look up a 1976 movie with Ron Howard called Eat My Dust, that is probably the template for Dukes of Hazzard TV series...Orange stock car with doord welded shut, a super hot blonde in short Hot Pants, and on the run from the local Sheriff and Deputies, causing mayhem and destruction....LOL
I think this race was sponsored by the same people who put on all the races in the 2nd season of MASK. Also when it comes to Frank Welker, the inside joke in the VO community is that whenever you need a voice for a cartoon, you interview everyone and then hire Frank Welker.
I always thought "The Dukes" was an uninspired update of the late sixties animated series "Wacky Races"; coincidentally, both programs were produced by Hanna-Barbera.
Frank Welker did the voice of Smokey the Raccoon too, that squeaking sound is what he used for little dogs in numerous 1970s mostly Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
Hanna-Barbera worked on this. This Company worked on other shows like Clue Club, Frankenstein Jr. & The Imposdibles, Wally Gator, Hong Kong Phooey, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, The Jetsons, Dynomutt Dog Wonder, Jonny Quest, Penelope Pitstop, and The Funky Phantom.
It's funny how many cartoons they made and at the same time confuse how Cartoon Network bought them but didn't do much with them then just airing reruns during most of the 90's to some of the early 2000's.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 Well I do like Hanna-Barbera cartoons but it's sad when most entertainment companies buy out other companies that still have some potential if they did some research on why those IPs did so well in the first place and it's rare to find companies that fully understands the main fan base that help support shows for years.
To paraphrase a contemporary review, we're not sure why they bothered to do a Saturday morning cartoon for Dukes of Hazzard since the original series was already a cartoon! 😂😂
Similar thing happened with the voices on The Brady Kids cartoon when the three eldest actors left over money and Marcia started sounding strange and Greg REALLY sounded wrong with the second actor! Haha! Denver Pyle was also in the first few seasons of The Doris Day Show as her father in law! The show then seemed to reinvent itself each subsequent year until he and Doris Martin's two sons were forgotten about completely!
That happened back then. You could be watching a CBS channel and the local channel would show something else. I missed the 80's Superman cartoon the first time around because they didn't show it on my local CBS channel.
I love that they used the same actors; a rarity I think. But either they were up against stiffvcompetition or else I just didn't like that season 1 wasn't Bo and Luke and didnt realize they ever corrected that, because I never watched more than one or two episodes and probably not even all the way through. Maybe if they hadn't run simulataneous to the live show, but aired after it went off the air (the way Star Trek TAS did) I'd have watched it out of missing them. I think was also could've won me over would've been if they'd had some cartoon crossovers. Knight Rider, definitely. But even Speed Buggy or celebrities like Scooby Doo had whennI was even smaller. Who wouldn't have tuned in to Cooter's mechanic friend being Mr.T himself (or as B.A.), Chuck Norris or Shatner's TJ Hooker kicking some butt with the help of the Dukes? Heck, even Gary Coleman and Robin Williams would've done the trick.
I have the show on DVD I will probley start on it when I finish george of the jungle . and the theme song is catchy. i rather have that stuck in my head in some annoying rap song.
The repatorie between Rosco and Boss Hogg is what made the cartoon show! However, I agree with the narrator that the animated series should've ended with the race ending. I would've ended the series with the Dukes winning the race and keeping their farm.
Warner Brothers executives made a mistake replacing Luke (Tom Wopat) and Bo (John Schneider) with Coy and Vance (Bryon Cherry and Christopher Mayer) because they refuse to pay Wopat and Schneider more money after The Dukes of Hazzard series ranked in $100 million in toys and products, in 1998 Warner Brothers paid the Friends cast one million dollars per episode. Mariska Hargitay from Law & Order: SVU (Special Victims Unit) was paid $500,000 per episode and Ice-T from Law & Order: SVU was paid $250,000 per episode (Hargitay was paid more because she was also Executive Producer of the series)
Another entertaining video! I always thought the animated "Dukes" series was a cross between "Wacky Races" and "Scooby-Doo" (coincidentally, all three programs were produced by Hanna-Barbera)! Too bad there was never a crossover between "The Dukes" and "Challenge Of The Superfriends" (another Hanna-Barbera-produced animated series) or even the venerable--and long-running--"Scooby-Doo" for that matter; it would've been an absolute hoot to see the Dukes interacting with Shaggy and his cohorts! Throughout his illustrious half-century-long career, Frank Welker has voiced more characters in animation than the law allows! All in all, I enjoyed watching the video! Thanks for sharing!
I may not have liked Coy and Vance, but Universal did them dirty by having them disappear from the show with no explanation. Same with the live action show. Coy and Vance were never mentioned before replacing Bo and Luke, then when they came back, Coy and Vance disappeared with no fanfare, never to be heard from again.
John Schneider personally helped one of the replacement actors get the part, thinking he was helping the guy's career. Schneider admits he's apologized to the guy quite often...
@@melissacooper8724 Christopher Mayer died of natural causes on July 23rd, 2011 at the young age of 57, and Byron Cherry was a businessman, as well as an actor. He is still with us, and is 68 years old.
@@tvcrazyman same as in the series itself.all that driving every episode and rarely ever see them get gas..but they usually only have 5 or 10 bucks on them.
LOL, The Dukes in Hollywood...ALSO used in an episode of the live action series, AND used for the second reunion movie in 2000. (They made the two 1997 and 2000 reunion movies due to the high ratings of the series on cable in the 90s)
I love the idea that Wopat and Schneider thought people were tuning in to see THEM. "Boy - these two actors! Wow! I think they drive a car or something..." They're tuning in for the DODGE and the funny sheriff and mayor, guys. Sorry.
Alot of viewers in the 70's would strongly disagree with you. Especially women. (You're right about Best and Brooke, even Schneider says they were a joy to watch.)
@@melissacooper8724 Wow. I just looked that up. As sole commissioner, he basically held all governmental power! Imagine ANY modern show putting that much thought into a character's backstory!
I'm terrible with dates, but that's what wikipedia and imdb says and that seems about right. Imdb says the first live action Coy and Vance episode of the Dukes of Hazzard started in 82 in the fall, then at the beginning of 83 the cartoon came on.
You have to remember, back in the 70s and 80s popular television shows also had cartoon spin-offs. Laverne & Shirley, Star Trek, mork & Mindy, and ALF all head cartoon shows on Saturday mornings. The sudden change in voices for John Schneider and Tom Wopat, can most likely be easily explained... The actors probably were needed on set of the live-action series, and weren't probably available for ADR dialogue
This animated series would have needed a parody episode on SNL's TV Fun House....Life in Hazzard without the Dukes/Boss Hogg/and Roscoe....sales at the Boars Nest down severly without hot ass Daisy not working there, Cletus, Enos, and Cooter just hanging out in town, no patrol cars to tow and repair. The Georgia State police noting the amount of bank robbers and criminal apprehensions way down due to Boss Hogg not running his scams, the local junkyards and Chrysler MoPar noting the sale of parts for Plymouth Fury and Dodge Monaco police cars way down for Hazzard County in Georgia....LOL
Maybe they could have said the cartoon was a story Daisy was writing; or the cartoon was just a dream. Hey it worked for Dallas and Married With Children.😅😅😂😂😂
Boss and Roscoe were always hilarious..cartoon and live action.
Even as a kid I was glad they switched back to the original Duke boys.
Michael Bell was on a lot of cartoons I loved as a kid...
Super Friends, Speed Buggy, Devlin and Plastic Man to name a few.
Snorks and Voltron
Original Transformers and G.I. Joe!!!
I hope you all enjoy this look back at this 1980's Saturday morning cartoon that aired on CBS. It was a neat animated version of the Dukes of Hazzard.
Will do! I always enjoy watching your videos on your channel; in fact, I'm a regular subscriber! Thanks for sharing!
TV Crazyman, will you do one on It's Punky Brewster, the animated series?
I love cartoons
Frank Welker is a very talented voice actor in the same vein as Mel Blanc.
I couldn't agree with you more!

I love these old cartoons man
HILARIOUS, how they gave Boss Hogg's Cadillac a nickname like The Duke boy's Dodge Charger...SON OF A GUN!
I have to say you're the closest channel dedicated to Saturday Morning cartoons and live action shows. Keep up the good work!
I love this, GO Duke Boys GO!!!
Dukes of Hazard is just Smokey and the Bandit remade for TV.
I'm sure John Schneider would say "thanks for the compliment" especially since he had a bit part in that as well.

Thanks

Super big fan of doh but never seen the cartoon.,..
how about Boomhauer from King of The Hill dubbing over one of the Dukes?
"I tell ya what, man, that dang ol’ internet…"
Yeah, that would be funny. Talking about that "click click click." I remember that.
CRAZIEST Frank Welker voice for me, Megatron.....also Peter Cullen aka Optimus Prime was in a lot of other 80s cartoons too...
Somehow Bo and Luke took over racing duties from Coy and Vance between seasons, if that makes any sense.
Sorrell Booke was great on MASH
