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
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...
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.
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'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.
Before I stumbled across your UA-cam channel I had never seen a single episode of The Dukes of Hazzard. I was familiar with the General Lee of course and the “legend” that is Dukes of Hazzard but never actually watched it. After watching one of your videos I bought Season 1 and am about 7 episodes in. I’m hooked! I also found out the first 5 episodes were filmed in Georgia, which is super cool. I live in Georgia, so I looked up some of the filming locations and it is amazing how much the places have changed. And then how some places haven’t changed so much. Anyway, glad I found this channel and started watching the show too! Thank 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
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!
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!
Absolutely loved the Dukes of Hazzard as a kid. I’ve recently bought the complete collection of dvds from Amazon so I can rewatch my favourite tv show whenever I want. The Dukes of Hazzard made me a Petrol head. I still am.
Mr. Schneider, I was only 10 years old when I started watching The Dukes of Hazzard. My childhood wasn’t exactly a normal childhood. I had a very abusive step father who would beat me daily if he could find me ( I went fishing a lot at the river to get away from him ). I was just a little boy. It hurt a lot. When I would watch your show, it brought happiness to me. I have never felt what a true family was until I met my wife in 1986. We are still madly in love and have three wonderful children. Your show showed me what REAL family was supposed to be like. I loved how you looked out for each other and had love with no bounds. I watched every time it was on. I wanted a family like yours so bad it hurt. God blessed me with my wife of 35 years this year. It didn’t hurt to have such cool cars in the show since I loved cars so much. I have a small collection of real cars. Corvettes and Z28 Camaros. I just want to say, THANK YOU JOHN for everything you do. My wife and I are true conservatives who love God. Thank you sir so much. Gob Bless you and your family.
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
Dukes of Hazzard was what I grew up watching when I was a kid. Every Friday night me and my dad would go pickup my grandpa and our family would eat supper then watch CBS. The Hulk was on at 7, Dukes came on at 8. When the boring "grownup" show (Dallas) came on at 9 I tuned out to go play. I was 8 when Dukes was first on TV and I always looked forward to Friday nights. Every time I think of this show I think of my childhood.
My brother and I used to watch the Dukes every Friday night. He had a model of the General and he’d ram it into my models and rip them up. We’d chase each other around the house until my parents had to ban us from the show for a couple weeks. Nevertheless, I still watch the Dukes everyday. I work from home and have the DVD’s playing in the background to make the day go faster. Definitely my all time favorite show!
My 8 year old loves the Dukes. I showed him one episode when he was about 4, he's loved it ever since. I'm not sure who had a bigger smile on their face when we visited Cooters in Nashville, me or him, haha. Merry Christmas from Indiana John!
What dukes of Hazzard means to me....... FAMILY. Every member reminds me of family we all have an uncle Jesse or a beautiful Daisy. A Penny pinching boss hog or a nit wit Roscoe in our family. Some of us are like Bo and Luke we may be cousins but we are like brother's and sisters. That show was such a tight nit community and family. That's why I still watch the dukes of Hazzard!
I completely agree that remakes haven’t captured the personalities of the dukes. My best memories are sneaking out of bed to watch, then the reruns as I got my license. I don’t know how many people I told I found a place to actually squeal tires on dirt. I had an uncle Jessie truck in brown. Then I remember riding in chargers doing it. A 318 and 440 both with floor mounted automatics.
As a kid I remember my brother and I sitting on the bench swing in our back yard but sitting backwards and we would pump that swing so high and so fast and we would pretend it was the General Lee! Some of my best memories of my brother! Loved the show!
I love dukes simply family. It's very awesome real family values. Smallville loved when Tom wopat was in the episode and I love that both you and Tom both had musical careers. My favorite party of the first part and I still have my cassette tape and I think the vinyl as well. Love you you are so so gifted.
Round about 1980 I was a Boy Scout in Hillsdale Michigan. Probably 10 years old or so. Can’t remember why you (John) were there but we sat the seats up for people. In return we got to meet the amazing Bo Duke. Everything went off like clockwork, I got to You, you looked at me and said how are you? My mouth shot open and not a word popped out. I was completely frozen, but, I got to meet Bo Duke! Lol, well he met me I guess lol. Love these little insight videos.
I remember as a kid of about 10, I so wanted to be like John Schneider I used to have blonde hair and tried to curl it up at the sides using my Mum`s hair styling brush twisting and turning it round and round so it curled upwards, the brush got completely stuck and had to be cut out with scissors. Now I`m 49 and no hair at all but at least John has kept his :-) God bless you John for all the good times growing up watching Dukes.They were simpler times...better times.
Good memories...me going to school with my Dukes lunchbox and thermos,all proud of myself....until i discover Michael Knight shortly after. Another of my hero. 😂
John is just a really awesome and genuine guy. He was my first favorite character on TV as Bo Duke and then he was one of my favorite parts of Smallville as he played the best Jonathan Kent ever.
This is the first time I've seen you on youtube & subscribed. I would just like to thank yourself, Mr Wopat & all the rest of the cast for making such great memories for myself as a child (goodness, I'm in my late somethings now!). I must also thank Mr Jennings for the theme tune because my daughter watched an episode with me as suggested that should now be my ring tone (it is). Thankyou from the bottom of my heart & all the best............
My favorite episode is when your guest star, Kail YardBorough, was sitting in the back of the General Lee, after that you had landed from a long jump, and he asked: « What’s a Cooter » ? Lol!
Dan Wake cuz It was when Mary Kate had her baby she left her son with the dukes cuz her dad didn’t like her bf bo and luke drove it off the Cliff And her dad But Daisy the jeep for saving his son
John just wanted to thank you and Tom and Catherine and of course Denver and Sorrell and James for the best years of my generation l was raised by a hard nosed Marine Grandfather the only thing we could laugh at and enjoy together was the Dukes so God bless Hazzard Counties favorite sons.
@@bryanwright946 You are 33% right. The woman wasnt Mary Kate. The woman was Suzie Holmes. Her daddy was CJ Holmes. Her fiance was in Asheville and she was being taken to a cruise ship by her daddy's bodyguards. Suzie ran off by hiding in the General after the bodyguards bad driving almost caused them to wreck. Later on, Bo and Luke switch cars with Daisy to get Roscoe off of Suzie's trail. The boys wreck the Roadrunner of Kissin' Cliff. At the end, after the wedding, "Daisy got herself a bridesmaid's gift, a car named Dixie." -Waylon Jennings -narration. The episode was The Runaway. Season 2.
Thanks but I meant, why did the producers choose to get rid of the road runner. The story they came up is for the show. In curious why the producers decided to write off the road runner and write in the jeep.
My favorite episode is number 15, "Follow the still", "When Rosco." borrows a bicycle in the boar's nest and ends up stamped in the mud without making more than 15 meters ..Also i love this kind of Answer-questions..cause i feel you are very close to your fans..and suscribers!! love from Argentina
You are right the show was carefully crafted and I have to be honest I have only seen only the DOH been that way. Mostly shows are not up to the top of my list but the DOH is!!!!
i am a 72 year old man and i watched the dukes with my young son.it was a good clean show that the whole family could watch.they can't do a reboot,it just would'nt work.the talent on the show can not show can not be duplicated,it just can't be done.
I remember being allowed to stay up an hour late on Friday night to tune in on CBS for you guys. Lots of fond memories of the Dukes. Only reboot I'd like to see would have to have you and Tom, Cathy, Ben, Sonny, and Rick in it, if I missed anyone who's still with us, forgive me and include them too. I got the complete dvd set of the entire series and guess what, my kids are as hooked on it as I was! My son found the reruns on CMT and I bought the dvd set after the bs dust up over the General. So happy to find you on UA-cam. Looking forward to Christmas Cars and whatever else Dukes related in the future. I'm totally guilty of wanting to be Bo Duke back in the 80's, have yet to get a 69 Charger but I have a2018 392 Hemi Challenger, GOMANGO of course! I guarantee if you real Dukes make it we and our children will watch it.
My bike was a Trek 4300 mountain bike. It was silver and gray and I named it General Grant. I would ride it everywhere on mountains and through the forest. I had an American flag with 35 stars for accuracy on it and the name printed on the top bar. I wanted to be like them, but my own at the same time and being from the North I thought it was appropriate.
YOU WERE MY FAVORITE DUKE. I MET YOU BEFORE AT 520 8TH AVE RIPLEY G. IT WAS A PLEASURE. GOOD TO KNOW U ARE A NEW YORKER AND YOU ARE STILL GOING STRONG. TAKE CARE JOHN!!!WONDERFUL PERSONALITY
John Dukes was about family,down home values,morals,fast cars,beautiful women God Bless Daisy and 2 Good Ol Boys you and Tom fighting a comical but still corrupt system Mainly Boss Hogg but he still had some good moments lol i'm 40 years old and i consider Dukes of Hazzard my family and will help in any way I can to keep Dukes alive Love Ya John
I think the Dukes of Hazzard was (and still is) a succesfull show for a few reasons. At first, I think the mix between action (adventures) and comedy is great. It is also a series about a stable family (Uncle Jesse, Luke, Bo and Daisy), who respect and love each other. They help each other and support each other (nowadays some people are more individualistic). And the show is about enjoying the ‘simple life’: we work hard, we sit together and eat, we enjoy nature and care for each other. No phones, careers, TV’s, tablets etc.to distract us. A lot of people want to live like Bo, Luke and Daisy :) I still love the Dukes!
I remember years ago I went to a car show in scottcity Kansas and they had a General Lee there and I looked inside it and I was so disappointed because they modified it and put a CD stereo system in it, I'm the type of guy I love the originality, the outside looked good but the inside did not look like what the General Lee was supposed to look like.
Ironically someone on our street has an orange car I believe it is a 68 as they have the original tags on the front plate 1968 not sure if it's a charger. Looks like the general lee.
John Schneider Is the charger you have now one actually used in the show? I remember your selling your charger General Lee at Barrette Jackson years back.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios i'd have given anything to be in the General with you and Tom tearing up the south when i was a kid hell i'd do it now at 46 lol
i just tuned into the Johnathan Kent channel. Mr. Kent's channel is very entertaining. I am definitely going to check out Johnathan Kent's music too. I hope Johnathan Kent does some interesting interviews. I am so glad to see Mr. Kent having a channel. I want to tune in weekly to Johnathan Kent's channel. i will tell all of my friends about Mr. Kent's channel. thanks Johnathan Kent.
If you're watching this too Tom,Don't feel bad, I can't swim either. But for me it's cause I had tubes in my ears when I was little and it has cause a thing where I can't stand water going into my ears. Thus I never learned to swim as a kid or ever. Was great meeting you in Akin.
John will you be in Virginia at Cooters soon, I would love to meet you and have you sign General Lee. Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite TV show growing up.
I learned how to drive out in the country, my uncle owed strawberry fields. That's where I learned how to drive, I did almost everything in the show... Also, my sister dated a guy named Steve Buckley, who happened to drive the cars in "Smokey and the Bandit." I can drive the wheels off a car, if I wanted to.
Think about it all the shows from the late 60s to early 80s that took on a life of their own . That still do well in syndication. Dukes , emergency , chips , Adam 12, and so many more . Good family tv shows .
Can you tell us what was going on when they replace Bo and Luke with Coy & Vance? I'm 47 and man are you bringing back my childhood. You guys were the reason I drove my mom nuts by getting in and out of her car through the window.
Question: Did you and/or do you today have a friendly relationship with the actors who played Coy and Vance, and do you think that part of the history of the show had anything to do with the ultimate result of the show ending after 7 seasons? BTW, I love that you take the time to do this channel and freely speak your mind respectively. It's the ultimate sign of life imitating art, John Schneider emulating what the Dukes were about.
Bance has passed, sadly. Coy/Byron and I have been friends since long before Dukes. Actually I believe that the studio was coming up to a big negotiation period at the 7 year mark and had little respect for the ahow or the folks who made it. We were top 20 when not picked up so I really don’t think the Coy and Vance era had anything ro do with it. Thanks for the kind words.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios I have to ask then, didn't it upset you at all that a friend was taking that role in lieu of what your and Tom's goals were? I apologize if I'm incorrect, but any sources I check indicate that you had disagreements with royalty fees and licensing of merchandise (which I'm totally on your side about)
John, there was a show you did for a short while with Paul Rodriguez. I cannot remember the title, but along with Dukes, and several other great TV shows, this show was one of my favorites and I was sad when it just seemed to disappear into thin air. Can you tell me where I can find this somewhere?
i loved the show watched when i could i grew up on a farm in lower alabama ! it actually reminds me of my child hood . so yeah . hey they did a new General lee some kids did with a new charger . I loved the fact you called out Alec BALWIN . The flag is a Part of American history ! ,
The episode when The General Lee took some steroids and became a 4x4! Big mud tires!! My brother and I thought we were Bo and Luke ? From the fast cars and trucks, running from the cops 🚓 and getting the girls! From cb radios still to this day put them in my vehicles!! Painting the rebel flag on everything!! Bow and arrow marksmanship!! Dynamite 🧨 only once? Got in real bad trouble for that one! Jumping my moms delta 88 Oldsmobile across the railroad tracks! Some good music and cold beer at the end of the day on some episode’s! Yeah thank you 🙏 so much for the Duke’s of Hazzard! I’m 45 year’s old now and still love to watch The opening Waylon Jennings Good ol boys song! God bless y’all !!
You and Tom are still to this day my favorites and I'm 54 years old, i would love a signed Duke of Hazzard Shirt if you got one laying around, take care John(BO),Freddy Smith
Love the videos! On your website, there is no description of the different Christmas cars packages. DVD only is easy, autographed, kinda easy, I think. Personalized, no idea of what that $75 package consist of. What’s the deal? Lol
I remember when the premier episode was being advertised. My Dad was like "I don't know...it's gonna be on too late. You need to be in bed" and "It looks a little too rough to me..." People were genuinely concerned what their kids watched on TV back then... (Now nobody gives a rat's ... ... which is sad.) I remember using the old "all of my friends are gonna be watchin' it" spiel on him, and he caved in and we all sat up and watched it together. He chuckled throughout, so I could tell he was enjoying it too... As it transitioned to 8:00 and became more "less violent", we all tried very hard to be home so we could watch it together. We'd all go to school the next day or even Monday of the next week, and we'd be talking about the last episode. Very grateful for the good times and memories logged watching this show. I have passed it on to my son, who also loves this timeless classic!
my best memory i was at my cousins watching the episode where you jumped the general lee over a barn and my uncle came into the living room saw it thought it was a bad influence and made us turn it off of course we went upstairs to watch it anyways from that day i was hooked
I have a question John. In the first 5 episodes was there 2 Uncle Jesse farm houses or just 1? I know there was only 1 farm we see from the outside and I've actually been there. But I've heard that some of the scenes from inside were filmed in another house. I heard it was down the street from the Boars Nest.
Why people keep loving Hazzard? I believe it's the same reasons we keep coming back to Magnum p.i., Miami Vice, Twin Peaks: 1) a great environment, a place you'd like to be. 2) You can identify with how protagonists are and what they do. One of them can be you! 3) A great synergy between the characters; a very good amalgama of different personalities. 4) You can feel you actors were having fun! 5) A super-strong atmosphere permeating the series; music, photography, locations, lighting, etc... 6) Doing what's right 7) Specific to Hazzard: a) a simple way of living and loving we all miss in everyday life. b) Suspension of disbelief as in comics: when you send someone else wrecking a car in a ridge, there are no physical consequences. Nobody gets hurt! It's just fun! c)There's no need for expensive apparatus around you: worn jeans and the love for your cheap, but truly yours, car. d) Good and righteous always wins. e) God is still important and respected. And on this thought: may He bless you all!
Question 4: Having lots of muscle has little to do with being able to swim. In my early 20's I was a bodybuilder and my bodyfat was unmeasurable by 2 methods (water and calipers) yet I went into the Marine Corps, excelled at swimming and got certified shortly after that as a lifeguard with open water (ocean) rescue and survival specialties. One needs to learn to breath shallow and keep air in your lungs. Muscle has a neutral boyancy. Tell Tom to keep trying. Love the questions, post more. Can't wait to see Christmas cars.
The Dukes of Hazzard was, to me, actually quite a Libertarian show. Folks just wanted to live and let live, mind their own affairs and not hurt anyone, and instead they keep getting forced to fight a corrupt, overreaching government system.
I liken it to M*A*S*H in the way You are constantly entertained during the show and at the end you realize there is a life lesson and the cast of characters are relatable
I’m from the South and was raised watching The Dukes. I’m still in the south and still see confederate flags all the time. I know it’s not about hate, for 99.9%, it’s about southern heritage. About saying sir and ma’am, helping someone broken down on the side of the road, BBQ, bluegrass to New Orleans Jazz, opening the door for a lady and when Harvey came through, it was about risking your life to save a stranger. I remember seeing boats with the flag, out there risking everything to save and help anyone regardless of who they were and the news media blurred the flag out of the shot. There is a difference between the North and the South as to how people treat each other. Not saying people in the North aren’t nice it’s just different. Removing the flag from the reboot was a sort of admission by the people who made it that there is something wrong with what it represented in the show and today and that’s why they can’t do the reboot. They don’t understand the South today. They still believe we are all racist bigots Uneducated white guys that voted for Trump because we’re stupid. They just don’t get it but The Dukes of Hazzard did, perfectly.
John it would be good if you and remaining co stars could do a film like 40 years later like a kinda catch up in hazard county and this idea would not be a remake just a catch up film for fans and such
They do not know how to make TV like the Dukes anymore that’s why we watch UA-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
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
Funny 😂
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.
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.
Growing up in the 70's and 80's were the best times ever! Best cars, best music and best TV shows.
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?!

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.
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.
Before I stumbled across your UA-cam channel I had never seen a single episode of The Dukes of Hazzard. I was familiar with the General Lee of course and the “legend” that is Dukes of Hazzard but never actually watched it. After watching one of your videos I bought Season 1 and am about 7 episodes in.
I’m hooked!
I also found out the first 5 episodes were filmed in Georgia, which is super cool. I live in Georgia, so I looked up some of the filming locations and it is amazing how much the places have changed. And then how some places haven’t changed so much. Anyway, glad I found this channel and started watching the show too! Thank 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 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
Thanks for your time in answering questions and being sincere! Miss the show dearly!
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!
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 can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed these videos. Thanks for making them!
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 🎁
Thank you for keeping the dukes of hazard alive to this day always will be a legendary show and creative directing and cast members
Absolutely loved the Dukes of Hazzard as a kid. I’ve recently bought the complete collection of dvds from Amazon so I can rewatch my favourite tv show whenever I want. The Dukes of Hazzard made me a Petrol head. I still am.
Thank you John and the cast for makin good TV shows!
I'd like to see you and Tom sit down together and do a kinda Q and A
Yes I would love to see you and Tom sit down and talk
Have a sit down and chat and drink moonshine.
When people compliment me on my orange 1975 Bricklin I often say well The General Lee was orange too and it looked great! Always loved DOH!
Mr. Schneider, I was only 10 years old when I started watching The Dukes of Hazzard. My childhood wasn’t exactly a normal childhood. I had a very abusive step father who would beat me daily if he could find me ( I went fishing a lot at the river to get away from him ). I was just a little boy. It hurt a lot. When I would watch your show, it brought happiness to me. I have never felt what a true family was until I met my wife in 1986. We are still madly in love and have three wonderful children. Your show showed me what REAL family was supposed to be like. I loved how you looked out for each other and had love with no bounds. I watched every time it was on. I wanted a family like yours so bad it hurt. God blessed me with my wife of 35 years this year. It didn’t hurt to have such cool cars in the show since I loved cars so much. I have a small collection of real cars. Corvettes and Z28 Camaros. I just want to say, THANK YOU JOHN for everything you do. My wife and I are true conservatives who love God. Thank you sir so much. Gob Bless you and your family.
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!
Dukes of Hazzard was what I grew up watching when I was a kid. Every Friday night me and my dad would go pickup my grandpa and our family would eat supper then watch CBS. The Hulk was on at 7, Dukes came on at 8. When the boring "grownup" show (Dallas) came on at 9 I tuned out to go play. I was 8 when Dukes was first on TV and I always looked forward to Friday nights. Every time I think of this show I think of my childhood.
My brother and I used to watch the Dukes every Friday night. He had a model of the General and he’d ram it into my models and rip them up. We’d chase each other around the house until my parents had to ban us from the show for a couple weeks.
Nevertheless, I still watch the Dukes everyday. I work from home and have the DVD’s playing in the background to make the day go faster. Definitely my all time favorite show!
My 8 year old loves the Dukes. I showed him one episode when he was about 4, he's loved it ever since. I'm not sure who had a bigger smile on their face when we visited Cooters in Nashville, me or him, haha. Merry Christmas from Indiana John!
Mr Schneider, was the line hey uncle Jesse would you pick up me some socks a mistake? Tom's face and the way he said it after you was hilarious 😂
What dukes of Hazzard means to me....... FAMILY. Every member reminds me of family we all have an uncle Jesse or a beautiful Daisy. A Penny pinching boss hog or a nit wit Roscoe in our family. Some of us are like Bo and Luke we may be cousins but we are like brother's and sisters. That show was such a tight nit community and family. That's why I still watch the dukes of Hazzard!
from these videos it's clear we can see you are having fun making them, the editing shows my point brilliantly. Keep at it! :D
What I liked about the Duke's of Hazard looking back over the years, Uncle Jesse always had little pearls of wisdom at the end each episode
I completely agree that remakes haven’t captured the personalities of the dukes.
My best memories are sneaking out of bed to watch, then the reruns as I got my license. I don’t know how many people I told I found a place to actually squeal tires on dirt. I had an uncle Jessie truck in brown. Then I remember riding in chargers doing it. A 318 and 440 both with floor mounted automatics.
As a kid I remember my brother and I sitting on the bench swing in our back yard but sitting backwards and we would pump that swing so high and so fast and we would pretend it was the General Lee! Some of my best memories of my brother! Loved the show!
John you're a good dude! I appreciate all you do and have done brother!
I love dukes simply family. It's very awesome real family values. Smallville loved when Tom wopat was in the episode and I love that both you and Tom both had musical careers. My favorite party of the first part and I still have my cassette tape and I think the vinyl as well. Love you you are so so gifted.
Round about 1980 I was a Boy Scout in Hillsdale Michigan. Probably 10 years old or so. Can’t remember why you (John) were there but we sat the seats up for people. In return we got to meet the amazing Bo Duke. Everything went off like clockwork, I got to You, you looked at me and said how are you? My mouth shot open and not a word popped out. I was completely frozen, but, I got to meet Bo Duke! Lol, well he met me I guess lol. Love these little insight videos.
I remember as a kid of about 10, I so wanted to be like John Schneider I used to have blonde hair and tried to curl it up at the sides using my Mum`s hair styling brush twisting and turning it round and round so it curled upwards, the brush got completely stuck and had to be cut out with scissors. Now I`m 49 and no hair at all but at least John has kept his :-) God bless you John for all the good times growing up watching Dukes.They were simpler times...better times.
I had a musical horn too, mine was a Cavalry Charge, my friend had the Dukes horn
Good memories...me going to school with my Dukes lunchbox and thermos,all proud of myself....until i discover Michael Knight shortly after. Another of my hero. 😂
John is just a really awesome and genuine guy. He was my first favorite character on TV as Bo Duke and then he was one of my favorite parts of Smallville as he played the best Jonathan Kent ever.
This is the first time I've seen you on youtube & subscribed. I would just like to thank yourself, Mr Wopat & all the rest of the cast for making such great memories for myself as a child (goodness, I'm in my late somethings now!). I must also thank Mr Jennings for the theme tune because my daughter watched an episode with me as suggested that should now be my ring tone (it is). Thankyou from the bottom of my heart & all the best............
My favorite episode is when your guest star, Kail YardBorough, was sitting in the back of the General Lee, after that you had landed from a long jump, and he asked: « What’s a Cooter » ? Lol!
why did they get rid of catherine's road runner and put her in a jeep? which did she prefer?
Dan Wake cuz It was when Mary Kate had her baby she left her son with the dukes cuz her dad didn’t like her bf bo and luke drove it off the Cliff And her dad But Daisy the jeep for saving his son
His grandson I mean
John just wanted to thank you and Tom and Catherine and of course Denver and Sorrell and James for the best years of my generation l was raised by a hard nosed Marine Grandfather the only thing we could laugh at and enjoy together was the Dukes so God bless Hazzard Counties favorite sons.
@@bryanwright946 You are 33% right. The woman wasnt Mary Kate. The woman was Suzie Holmes. Her daddy was CJ Holmes. Her fiance was in Asheville and she was being taken to a cruise ship by her daddy's bodyguards. Suzie ran off by hiding in the General after the bodyguards bad driving almost caused them to wreck. Later on, Bo and Luke switch cars with Daisy to get Roscoe off of Suzie's trail. The boys wreck the Roadrunner of Kissin' Cliff. At the end, after the wedding, "Daisy got herself a bridesmaid's gift, a car named Dixie." -Waylon Jennings -narration. The episode was The Runaway. Season 2.
Thanks but I meant, why did the producers choose to get rid of the road runner. The story they came up is for the show. In curious why the producers decided to write off the road runner and write in the jeep.
My favorite episode is number 15, "Follow the still", "When Rosco." borrows a bicycle in the boar's nest and ends up stamped in the mud without making more than 15 meters ..Also i love this kind of Answer-questions..cause i feel you are very close to your fans..and suscribers!! love from Argentina
If only Dukes was on streaming services. I enjoy the show a lot, just goes to show that shows like these can reach all ages and generations
You are right the show was carefully crafted and I have to be honest I have only seen only the DOH been that way. Mostly shows are not up to the top of my list but the DOH is!!!!
i am a 72 year old man and i watched the dukes with my young son.it was a good clean show that the whole family could watch.they can't do a reboot,it just would'nt work.the talent on the show can not show can not be duplicated,it just can't be done.
I remember being allowed to stay up an hour late on Friday night to tune in on CBS for you guys. Lots of fond memories of the Dukes. Only reboot I'd like to see would have to have you and Tom, Cathy, Ben, Sonny, and Rick in it, if I missed anyone who's still with us, forgive me and include them too. I got the complete dvd set of the entire series and guess what, my kids are as hooked on it as I was! My son found the reruns on CMT and I bought the dvd set after the bs dust up over the General. So happy to find you on UA-cam. Looking forward to Christmas Cars and whatever else Dukes related in the future. I'm totally guilty of wanting to be Bo Duke back in the 80's, have yet to get a 69 Charger but I have a2018 392 Hemi Challenger, GOMANGO of course! I guarantee if you real Dukes make it we and our children will watch it.
It's my youth. Watched it as a kid here in Australia
My greatest memory of the Dukes, was riding my Huffy, pretending to be in the General, and jumping a ditch made for a swimming pool. I broke my arm.
My bike was a Trek 4300 mountain bike. It was silver and gray and I named it General Grant. I would ride it everywhere on mountains and through the forest. I had an American flag with 35 stars for accuracy on it and the name printed on the top bar. I wanted to be like them, but my own at the same time and being from the North I thought it was appropriate.
YOU WERE MY FAVORITE DUKE. I MET YOU BEFORE AT 520 8TH AVE RIPLEY G. IT WAS A PLEASURE. GOOD TO KNOW U ARE A NEW YORKER AND YOU ARE STILL GOING STRONG. TAKE CARE JOHN!!!WONDERFUL PERSONALITY
John Dukes was about family,down home values,morals,fast cars,beautiful women God Bless Daisy and 2 Good Ol Boys you and Tom fighting a comical but still corrupt system Mainly Boss Hogg but he still had some good moments lol i'm 40 years old and i consider Dukes of Hazzard my family and will help in any way I can to keep Dukes alive Love Ya John
I think the Dukes of Hazzard was (and still is) a succesfull show for a few reasons. At first, I think the mix between action (adventures) and comedy is great. It is also a series about a stable family (Uncle Jesse, Luke, Bo and Daisy), who respect and love each other. They help each other and support each other (nowadays some people are more individualistic). And the show is about enjoying the ‘simple life’: we work hard, we sit together and eat, we enjoy nature and care for each other. No phones, careers, TV’s, tablets etc.to distract us. A lot of people want to live like Bo, Luke and Daisy :) I still love the Dukes!
I remember years ago I went to a car show in scottcity Kansas and they had a General Lee there and I looked inside it and I was so disappointed because they modified it and put a CD stereo system in it, I'm the type of guy I love the originality, the outside looked good but the inside did not look like what the General Lee was supposed to look like.
I grew up watching the show...& i still try and live my life just like um, simple..respectful, love nature.
God, family
Guns ...my outlook on it.
I'm a huge Dukes of Hazzard fan have all 7 seasons on DVD
Hello you still have 69 dodge charger. Orginal car in the show.
I sure do! Alicia got him for me for my birthday. He's in Christmas Cars!
Ironically someone on our street has an orange car I believe it is a 68 as they have the original tags on the front plate 1968 not sure if it's a charger. Looks like the general lee.
John Schneider Is the charger you have now one actually used in the show? I remember your selling your charger General Lee at Barrette Jackson years back.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios i'd have given anything to be in the General with you and Tom tearing up the south when i was a kid hell i'd do it now at 46 lol
Cool videos John.. Thanks for posting
The picture behind you! At first I thought it was Mylon LeFevre, but then I realized it's probably Johnny Cash :D
i just tuned into the Johnathan Kent channel. Mr. Kent's channel is very entertaining. I am definitely going to check out Johnathan Kent's music too. I hope Johnathan Kent does some interesting interviews. I am so glad to see Mr. Kent having a channel. I want to tune in weekly to Johnathan Kent's channel. i will tell all of my friends about Mr. Kent's channel. thanks Johnathan Kent.
If you're watching this too Tom,Don't feel bad, I can't swim either. But for me it's cause I had tubes in my ears when I was little and it has cause a thing where I can't stand water going into my ears. Thus I never learned to swim as a kid or ever. Was great meeting you in Akin.
John will you be in Virginia at Cooters soon, I would love to meet you and have you sign General Lee. Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite TV show growing up.
I learned how to drive out in the country, my uncle owed strawberry fields. That's where I learned how to drive, I did almost everything in the show... Also, my sister dated a guy named Steve Buckley, who happened to drive the cars in "Smokey and the Bandit." I can drive the wheels off a car, if I wanted to.
Think about it all the shows from the late 60s to early 80s that took on a life of their own . That still do well in syndication. Dukes , emergency , chips , Adam 12, and so many more . Good family tv shows .
Happy birthday general Lee was one of the best I think
Omg this is brilliantly edited!
Thank you so much. Very interesting
Can you tell us what was going on when they replace Bo and Luke with Coy & Vance? I'm 47 and man are you bringing back my childhood. You guys were the reason I drove my mom nuts by getting in and out of her car through the window.
God Bless You and all your family
I was childhood days at 52 year old I still live those day in my own life thank
Love it thanks keep it up and when is the signed Christmas cars shipping again thanks
Question: Did you and/or do you today have a friendly relationship with the actors who played Coy and Vance, and do you think that part of the history of the show had anything to do with the ultimate result of the show ending after 7 seasons?
BTW, I love that you take the time to do this channel and freely speak your mind respectively. It's the ultimate sign of life imitating art, John Schneider emulating what the Dukes were about.
Bance has passed, sadly. Coy/Byron and I have been friends since long before Dukes.
Actually I believe that the studio was coming up to a big negotiation period at the 7 year mark and had little respect for the ahow or the folks who made it. We were top 20 when not picked up so I really don’t think the Coy and Vance era had anything ro do with it.
Thanks for the kind words.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios I have to ask then, didn't it upset you at all that a friend was taking that role in lieu of what your and Tom's goals were? I apologize if I'm incorrect, but any sources I check indicate that you had disagreements with royalty fees and licensing of merchandise (which I'm totally on your side about)
One thing that was not a secret was that you were the cutest of the show 💕💕
John, there was a show you did for a short while with Paul Rodriguez. I cannot remember the title, but along with Dukes, and several other great TV shows, this show was one of my favorites and I was sad when it just seemed to disappear into thin air. Can you tell me where I can find this somewhere?
I had toy replicas of everyone from the shows car. I'd give anything to have those again
i loved the show watched when i could i grew up on a farm in lower alabama ! it actually reminds me of my child hood . so yeah . hey they did a new General lee some kids did with a new charger . I loved the fact you called out Alec BALWIN . The flag is a Part of American history ! ,
The episode when The General Lee took some steroids and became a 4x4! Big mud tires!! My brother and I thought we were Bo and Luke ? From the fast cars and trucks, running from the cops 🚓 and getting the girls! From cb radios still to this day put them in my vehicles!! Painting the rebel flag on everything!! Bow and arrow marksmanship!! Dynamite 🧨 only once? Got in real bad trouble for that one! Jumping my moms delta 88 Oldsmobile across the railroad tracks! Some good music and cold beer at the end of the day on some episode’s! Yeah thank you 🙏 so much for the Duke’s of Hazzard! I’m 45 year’s old now and still love to watch The opening Waylon Jennings Good ol boys song! God bless y’all !!
You and Tom are still to this day my favorites and I'm 54 years old, i would love a signed Duke of Hazzard Shirt if you got one laying around, take care John(BO),Freddy Smith
Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse) was my uncle's next door neighbor in Burbank.
Best show ever
Love the videos! On your website, there is no description of the different Christmas cars packages. DVD only is easy, autographed, kinda easy, I think. Personalized, no idea of what that $75 package consist of. What’s the deal? Lol
We have the same favorite episodes wow. No matter how they try no one can make remake that show.
I love you so much!!
Good job even with the glasses. Lol
I remember when the premier episode was being advertised. My Dad was like "I don't know...it's gonna be on too late. You need to be in bed" and "It looks a little too rough to me..." People were genuinely concerned what their kids watched on TV back then... (Now nobody gives a rat's ... ... which is sad.) I remember using the old "all of my friends are gonna be watchin' it" spiel on him, and he caved in and we all sat up and watched it together. He chuckled throughout, so I could tell he was enjoying it too... As it transitioned to 8:00 and became more "less violent", we all tried very hard to be home so we could watch it together. We'd all go to school the next day or even Monday of the next week, and we'd be talking about the last episode. Very grateful for the good times and memories logged watching this show. I have passed it on to my son, who also loves this timeless classic!
my best memory i was at my cousins watching the episode where you jumped the general lee over a barn and my uncle came into the living room saw it thought it was a bad influence and made us turn it off of course we went upstairs to watch it anyways from that day i was hooked
I am a huge fan 01
Hey John(aka bo duke) I have a question for another video, so what was that thing you and Tom did where you were driving a blue 1968 charger?
My best episode is all the ones with DAISY I love you daisy
No one else could portray you guys in my opinion
I have a question John. In the first 5 episodes was there 2 Uncle Jesse farm houses or just 1? I know there was only 1 farm we see from the outside and I've actually been there. But I've heard that some of the scenes from inside were filmed in another house. I heard it was down the street from the Boars Nest.
Why people keep loving Hazzard? I believe it's the same reasons we keep coming back to Magnum p.i., Miami Vice, Twin Peaks: 1) a great environment, a place you'd like to be. 2) You can identify with how protagonists are and what they do. One of them can be you! 3) A great synergy between the characters; a very good amalgama of different personalities. 4) You can feel you actors were having fun! 5) A super-strong atmosphere permeating the series; music, photography, locations, lighting, etc... 6) Doing what's right 7) Specific to Hazzard: a) a simple way of living and loving we all miss in everyday life. b) Suspension of disbelief as in comics: when you send someone else wrecking a car in a ridge, there are no physical consequences. Nobody gets hurt! It's just fun! c)There's no need for expensive apparatus around you: worn jeans and the love for your cheap, but truly yours, car. d) Good and righteous always wins. e) God is still important and respected. And on this thought: may He bless you all!
Buy the way I could never replace rasco.james best was the only rasco for me.lol I love it ,I love it.dukes 4 life.
Question 4: Having lots of muscle has little to do with being able to swim. In my early 20's I was a bodybuilder and my bodyfat was unmeasurable by 2 methods (water and calipers) yet I went into the Marine Corps, excelled at swimming and got certified shortly after that as a lifeguard with open water (ocean) rescue and survival specialties. One needs to learn to breath shallow and keep air in your lungs. Muscle has a neutral boyancy. Tell Tom to keep trying.
Love the questions, post more. Can't wait to see Christmas cars.
The Dukes of Hazzard was, to me, actually quite a Libertarian show. Folks just wanted to live and let live, mind their own affairs and not hurt anyone, and instead they keep getting forced to fight a corrupt, overreaching government system.
I liken it to M*A*S*H in the way
You are constantly entertained during the show and at the end you realize there is a life lesson and the cast of characters are relatable
I’m from the South and was raised watching The Dukes. I’m still in the south and still see confederate flags all the time. I know it’s not about hate, for 99.9%, it’s about southern heritage. About saying sir and ma’am, helping someone broken down on the side of the road, BBQ, bluegrass to New Orleans Jazz, opening the door for a lady and when Harvey came through, it was about risking your life to save a stranger. I remember seeing boats with the flag, out there risking everything to save and help anyone regardless of who they were and the news media blurred the flag out of the shot. There is a difference between the North and the South as to how people treat each other. Not saying people in the North aren’t nice it’s just different. Removing the flag from the reboot was a sort of admission by the people who made it that there is something wrong with what it represented in the show and today and that’s why they can’t do the reboot. They don’t understand the South today. They still believe we are all racist bigots Uneducated white guys that voted for Trump because we’re stupid. They just don’t get it but The Dukes of Hazzard did, perfectly.
John it would be good if you and remaining co stars could do a film like 40 years later like a kinda catch up in hazard county and this idea would not be a remake just a catch up film for fans and such
