I loved this show as a kid. The Dukes of Hazzard will forever be in my memories of the 80's pop culture.
No doubt one of my all time favorite shows of the 80's and how I miss that show in the year 2020 thank god I own all 7 seasons on dvd so that I can watch whenever I want
Loved the misadventures of the Dukes, but such a pity there were so many cast and crew disputes like how so many actors, Bo and Luke themselves even left for some time
Totally loved the show. My brother and I would hurry our parents out of the mall on Friday nights so we could be home in time.
"We have to hurry to get home for Dukes of Hazzard."
"I guess we won't have time to stop at Toys R Us then on the way home..."
"Aaaaaaaaagh" (the first world problems of a child of the 70s and 80s).
We had the 3¾" figures of Bo, Luke, and Daisy, with their vehicles. I never realized Daisy was a 5 POA, but I played with Adventure People, Star Wars, and GI Joe. Probably just dismissed it. Thanks for a great video!!!!
TDOH was a hit in the UK, I don't remember any action figures being available
I had the action figures, Bo, Luke, Daisy, Boss Hogg, and Roscoe. As far as the show goes, As a Pro-Rasslin fan I always thought Coy and Vance should have become "Bad Guy Villains" once Bo and Luke returned. That would have been AWESOME to me! THUMBS UP Junkman for this vid. Good stuff as I never seen the Uncle Jesse or Cooter figure when I was a kid til now.
The most successful toys of the 80s but a reign cut short because WB wasn't paying the actors when the actors sued WB rather than share the profits pulled toy licenses so no more figures or packaging showing the cast.
Man I watched this show every week. I even had the 8 inch Bo. I had my sister sew together a superhero costume for him and played with him with all my mego superheroes.
Yo, this seems like it's gonna be a great new series to the channel...👍🏼 It was interesting, and informative...👌🏼💯✔ It was crazy to learn about what happened with the characters being replaced with mear clones...💁♂️ To bad that happened, because if that hadn't ruined the reputation of the show it soooooo would've lasted longer...📺 So sad to see that it just came to an abrupt end where it just left everybody hanging...😕
I lived in Belgium Europe until age 35 , the dukes was popular all over the world I guess . Loved watching it , I always believed that the south was really like portrayed in this show even until the day I moved to Alabama, lol !
I remember when tom wopat appeared on Smallville i thought was really sweet seeing tom and John together again
The cartoon even had 2 different openings for coy & Vance and Bo and Luke. Also the 8” line had a “Coy and Vance” they were no and Luke with a coy and Vance sticker on them.
Hiya Junkman. I just posted this on John Schneider's Facebook Page. His Fans are gonna love this. Quality Content as usual! Thanks
cool thanks for sharing it!
I had the General Lee car as a kid in 1981. It was plastic and pretty cheap looking. I remember the top would flip up.
Daisy Duke made a movie with Flash Gordon called DRIVING FORCE!
this was appointment viewing for us on Friday night - never got into the action figures, but we did play "Dukes of Hazzard" on our bikes, also CHiPs
Loved this show!
Great chases and jumps and corny plots.
Oh, and Daisy Duke. In her Daisy Duke’s.
Mmmmmm-hmmmmm.
Friday nights were The Dukes then Dallas. I still have the Mego General Lee, 3 3/4” figs and 8” figs along with the Ertl line.
I didn’t dislike Coy and Vance but Bo and Luke were irreplaceable. Such a great show and memories.
i remember getting that dukes of hazzard car with the 2 figures for christmas....1981. that's actually all i remember from that christmas.
Can you see a Universe we're Dusty Rhodes the Famous Wrestler would be Boss Hogg* & Sid Heig would be Uncle Jessie in a Live Action Movie?
The Dukes Of Hazzard is one of the 1st ever TV shows I remember watching 😮😍 plus I remember the figures & car & I had a hard plastic Boss Hogg Stetson 😂 had these toys even before Star Wars happy memories 👌🏻
The MPC Models General Lee Charger kit is the best selling model car kit of all time. Many NASCAR Kit builders where not happy that MPC ruined the Charger Stock Car kit to make a dumb kids show model. But MPC didn't mind the revenue. To this day, you can still go buy a General Lee kit at most Hobby Shops.
Man I loved watching Dukes of hazard. First album I ever bought was Waylons sweet music man for the theme song. I missed out on the toys though. But I did get some of the Ertl Hotwheels sized cars. Yeee Haw! Jessie was always Mad Jack from Grizzly Adams to me. 😁
Loved watching it in the 1980s mostly repeats I would of said by the time I got to see it don't remember any of theys figures and cars I would of loved them the only thing I could find when I was a kid was a matchbox car from the UK that's it
Yeah, I used to watch the show pretty religiously....Until Cory and Vance showed up. I watched the first episode, but that was pretty much enough for me. I didn't care for the Mean Green Machine. I watched it a couple of times after Bo and Luke came back, but I was pretty much over it by then. I suspect the network would have let it go due the "Seven Season Syndication" curse, at which point there are enough episodes of a show to run a full year of syndication and at which point it is cheaper just to let it go and ride on the residuals. But, if Cory and Vance hadn't happened, it might have gotten past that spot. Honestly, I slowed down watching it when Enos left. When you have a good formula, it's best not to mess with it. And the Enos show was just....A mess. It was like a regular buddy cop show with a serious approach. It just didn't feel right having Enos play some downhome goofball whereas everyone else was playing it straight. Some shows, like Due South, could make that work. But, it's tricky.
I guess the funniest thing was this gave people outside of Georgia their first look at the way things pretty much were down here. Back in those days, if you could outrun the cops, you pretty much got away. Before cameras in the patrol cars. Moonshiners, crooked commissioners, cops on the take....Who am I kidding!? It hasn't changed all that much to this day. I'll leave it at that.
I remember watching dukes at 8pm and then incredible hulk at 9pm.i think.i also watched Knight rider but there's no way I could watch all 3 shows.because I think Knight rider came on at 8pm.or maybe by that period hulk was off the air and NBC had Knight rider on at 9pm?any info would be appreciated
I loved the show when it first aired. I checked out when Coy and Vance came along and never watched regular again. I can still sit and watch an episode from seasons 1through 4 but anything after is hard to watch. Even when Bo and Luke came back. It just wasn't the same anymore. I did have a General Lee and a Hazard police car. They were made by ERTL. I wish Hot Wheels or Match Box had gotten the license. ETRL cars were never as good as Hot Wheels or Match Box.
I'd give good money for the 3.75 figure set and the plastic general Lee,even though the plastic car used for the general Lee looked nothing like a Dodge charger.
I've been looking for the toy's and figures for two decades, still no joy ,I don't think that the toys made it over to the UK.
I loved the ertl toy car's and cardboard hazzard county set that I got for Christmas in 1980 .
Don't forget Flash the basset hound.
Ol' velvet ears! Kyeew Gyew Gyew Gyah Gyew!
I was a HUGE Dukes of Hazard fan and I had a bunch of the figures including the Boss Hogg with his caddy. I had the Duke boys and the General Lee, but they got buried somewhere in the yard by Boss Hogg.
I loved the show as a kid and had the 3 3/4 in Beu and Luke figures and the General Lee which were handed down to me from a family friend who's son didn't play with toys anymore. At the time they played re runs of the Dukes of Hazzard and then the original Batman tv series. Since I didn't have any Batman toys I'd make paper costumes and put them on the Duke boy's!🤣 I'd even make a Batman symbol and tape it to the top of the General Lee!🤣( I used them as the Dukes also😉)
Never knew they made like real 'Star Wars/GI joe' alike action figures for this show... Cool
I loved this show when I was a little kid.
I got off just on the intro itself.
When I was 7 or 8 I went to a Tom Wopat concert in town.
Concerts that always took place right next to the courthouse. :)
Three or four years earlier we saw Little Texas there. :) hahah!
My sister still has a picture of one of the bandmates pinching his nose. :)
Out in the middle of the street sat the General Lee itself. I still have that picture of me standing next to the General Lee holding a PEPSI. :)
It was just me and my mom.
For some reason, out of the blue she asked if I wanted to go see Tom Wopat.
It was one of those weird occurrences where my mom had a normal idea. :)
Thanks for the video :)
I never had any of the action figures, but I used to watch the TV show every week. This was before cable TV and I vividly remember having to turn the knob on the antenna control box to tune in the station.
Loved the show, had a hot wheels General Lee and a match box car that looked a lot like daisys jeep. Daisy made a teenage Larry very happy. 🥰😍👌👈🤏🦾
What never made sense when the Duke boys were replaced is why weren't they racing the General Lee? It was supposed to be the fastest car around. They would have had to explain why Coy and Vance made a General Lee 2, because you couldn't have the show without the car.
I don't even remember seeing those toys in the store. No wonder they fetch a decent price now. Best thing I had was a Hotwheels Charger and police car. And they pulled a lot of jumps!
It was a good show, but I was more intrigued by the police cars as I used to be a huge CHIP's fan. I actually owned the General Lee with the action figures which was fantastic !
This was a really good video. The Dukes were a huge part of my childhood too. Keep up the good work.
I love the video! Anything dukes I’m there! I have all the figures and vehicles both mego lines except the caddy
My brother and i had the general lee with action figure size bo and luke. we would set up jumps for it and our dad would always say that's not how you play with your toys! you're going to break them! But dad, that's exactly how you play with the general lee!
My neighbor had Bo and Luke Duke and the General Lee along with Boss Hog. I always wanted them. He was so lucky
Iirc the Barn Burners toy set directly lead to John and Tom leaving dukes.
As for the figures I had a couple of them. And i.know I had the general Lee, as also i own the dukes cartoon on dvd , plus a couple of the playstation games
I actually have the cartoon series on dvd. The dvd case and individual dvds show artwork portraying Bo n Luke but the first season and most of the second are animated with the other cousins in each episode. Only the last five or so episodes in season two have Bo n Luke orn them. I haven't watched the series completely but I do not believe there is an explanation for the name and character changes in the middle of the second season. Do not judge me for having that cartoon on DVD.
I loved this show. I had the small Bo, Luke, and the General. I also had a small car that you pulled back and it jumped through a barn. I had the big wheel too.
I had the 8 inch Bo and Luke and the small figures with the car. One of my favorite shows from the eighties
I got all the smaller mego and the general Lee. Now I’ll be honest daisy and cletus are hard to find even loose. They also had the barn busters and action stunt sets which for kids were fun to play with
Due to quarantine i recently watched every episode and my biggest question is just how damn big is Hazard county?
They had everything!
One of my favorites as a kid,imagine the the woke tears being shed if they showed this today,the general lee would be canceled
Making a episode about Happy days & Logan run TV show
Junkman, I had the entire set of everything you showed. Oddly enough I never opened the cars or the dolls, just the figures. I would say that the Dukes got me started into collecting. The loose male figures later became, thanks to the Phantom Menace replacement gear sets as they lost their own gear and hats
This right here is why I love you, Junkman. I've never watched more than four minutes of the Dukes of Hazzard, and I couldn't give a shit less about them. But I'm always interested in television history and toy history, so this video interested me. The fact that you could make a video about the Dukes of Hazzard that was able to hold my interest until the end is pretty impressive. Nice work!
go watch 'em duke boys!
after stores dropped the General Lee, or modified it, John Schneider lost his mind and hasn't recovered
Those toys felt sooooo cheap..... broken thumbs everywhere. I remember one store was blowing out loose bo and luke figures around 87 for $0.99 which didn't even seem like a deal. They had about 100 of the on display....maybe more in the back. Not only did the figures feel cheap but so did the packaging.
I meant to say the MEGO ones felt cheap..... the Dukes of Hazzard Speedjumper set was awesome! and was apparently made by knickerbocker.
Growing up in England i loved The Dukes of Hazzard even had a model of the General Lee when i was around 8 or 9.
I tuned in today hoping that there would be a part 2 for the retrospective on the Burger King Star Wars Glasses.
try tomorrow :)
I noticed that the sheriff Rosco police car was it reused car from the CB mc haul toy line
Probably the best 3 3/4" line Mego made.
One of my very early favourite shows as a kid! Great video dude!
Oh yes my bicycle was the general lee! Power slides, running from the law, (other kids chasing) and jumping over ditches! And trying to slide across the hood on my moms car! Yea that never worked out due to being way shorter than an adult? Lol!
Same here lol. They must have put oil on the hood
I always wanted the figures and the General Lee.
Liked the show but let's be honest. Shows in the 70's were pretty boring. I had a General Lee car from Processed Plastics Co. The doors didn't open but the hood did. Was the perfect scale for my Star Wars figures.
had it, loved it
It always bothered me that they used a newer Charger for the toy than what was used in the TV show.
Did Larry the Wampa have a crush on Daisy Duke?
I had the General Lee without figures.
What ! No Boy George special guest appearance ? I’m insulted ! 😆
Only for the A-Team. Dukes of Hazzard wouldn’t woke :)
I have a greater appreciation for this show now then when I was a kid. I watch John Schneider's videos here & he tends to be a voice of reason. Out of curiosity, have you ever talked with any of the celebrities you mention in your videos? You do some top quality work & are much appreciated.
Nope. Well talked to Scott valentine from family ties about coming on but it didn’t plan out
Good job!!! Informative!!
You know that if the made a Dukes movie today, they would never be able to get away with the General Lee or having a character called (snicker) Cooter.
Well, General Lee did serve the Union before the southern states succeeded. So, I don't see what's wrong with naming the car that, but the flag is out.
Wonder what my dad was thinking when he framed the rebel flag and put in on the wall in the family room.
Loved the show! Never knew they had an animated series, though. Had Bo Luke and the General Lee. But of course, lost them.
yep not sure what happened to mine either
you can buy moonrunners at cooters place
I remember this show my brother s woued wach it
ihad all the figures and vehicles wen iwas a kid wish istill had em
It looks like Rasco's police car is reused from the C.B. McHaul line.
Yeah, reused for CHiPs also (as well as some characters as bad guys) :-)
There are variations of Luke duke and bo duke for the small mego figs that are considered Coy and Vance duke
Just a sticker on the box
aNYONE REMEBER THE CARTOON???
gotta love the cartoon series
One of my favorites !!!
I love the Dukes of Hazzard! Good ol fun in the 80's. Too bad the Confederate flag gets such a bad rep. I say leave history alone. My opinion. 👍
The flag represents the South's fight to keep black people as property. A Southerner may believe the Civil War was over states rights, but the only right that caused it was to keep certain people from having rights.
It's been politicized. Nothing offensive about it other than that.
They hade achon figers
Waylon Jennings!
Great episode!!
Great show
I thought it was Coy?
It's Coy, not Cory FYI.
I don’t know who made them, but there were cheap plastic versions of the General Lee, that had stickers for all the decorations. No chromed parts and only the axels were metal. They were in scale with the 3 inch figures but it was hard to get them in the car because everything was just a solid piece except for the bottom which was black plastic. They may have been knock offs, but I never saw a box for one. I had two but absolutely destroyed them both because they had to jump things all the time & the landings took a heavy toll on the cheap plastic. I’ve never seen one in a video about the toys ever.
that sounds like the mego one, I had it
@@ThatJunkman they always look so much better in the commercials.
I always wondered how many General Lees they destroyed making the show,
over time a lot... a LOT!
Cooterman!
In the uk we had a stunt set
cooter
Good fun! I remember the cast change, that was as bad as Three’s Company 😞 loved both of those shows! 💕
I forgot all about the cousins
Lucky
