Quick story... Dukes was my favorite show as a kid. I remember playing with an Ertl General Lee car on my kitchen floor. One time it went under the kitchen stove. I begged my dad to pull the stove back so I could get it out, but he wouldn't do it. Fast forward 20 years later, he finally buys a new stove. I go over to visit him one weekend, as I'm now an adult with my own place. I see the car sitting on the kitchen counter. He said he found it on the floor under the stove. I took it home. Still have it to this day!

You've got to be kidding. Me and my brother were crashing the General Lee and the Six Pack cars together in the kitchen and they went under the stove. Remember that movie Six Pack with Kenny Rogers in it? He was a Racecar driver. Anyway my dad wouldn't pull the stove either probably 20yrs later my mom calls me and says its really important that I come over. The stove went bad and they replaced it. They found those cars back there. I got the General Lee,my brother got the Six pack car. I still have it,I'm sure my brother still has his. Crazy story,it's so close to my story.

A series that was a major part of my childhood. I’m a Black man from Mississippi, and I absolutely LOVED the Dukes of Hazzard. So, no, it was never racist. I never got an inkling of that nor anything else good ol’ boy fun! Thank you for this, Mr. Schneider.

I thought he would touch her off and not let me pass but he didn't, just kept putting along easy. Anyway, I've been thinking about that show all day and came home and found this channel.

Same here!! Those cars are PRICELESS to me and my generation who grew up watching every single episode. Daisy Duke was every boys first crush, General Lee was the baddest/fastest car on the planet and racing your car around town became part of every young mans right of passage into manhood

The best decision I ever made was buying a $100 car at 13 and driving it like I stole it (on property) learned what to do- what not to do and how to make things work with little cash. By the time I got on public roads I ran all the young dumbass behind the wheel out of me and could handle a car as well as fix one road side. All because of dukes of hazard

This is just great, Thank you John for some behind the scenes info on my fav childhood show. I would never miss it growing up and would hardly pass on a rerun some years later. I don't know if my childhood would have been as great as it was without the Dukes..

I broke my arm because of The Dukes of Hazard. When I was a kid, The Dukes of Hazard was my all time favourite show. This one time I go running into the basement to tune in and, as was my signature move, I would imitate the hood slide over the back of my couch. I flubbed it. Badly. My foot got caught up and I landed all wrong. While my Dad drove me to the hospital, with my arm all sorts of wrong looking, I kept thinking to myself that we could get this dealt with and I could still see the episode. I was wrong about that and spent 3 days in the hospital. Still love the show.

Grateful I found this. I absolutely loved the dukes of Hazzard when I was a kid. Nothing on television even comes close to this today. Subscribed!

I am a 58 year old Scottish Highlander. The Dukes of Hazzard was and is one of my favorite TV shows. I do miss James Best, Sorrel Books and last but definitely not least Denver Pyle. A great show thanks very much guys. Or as cousin of mine would say, "Ta muchly"! She is a recently retired head teacher!! Should have had a job in Hazzard County.

This is why Society is disarray, there are no shows like Dukes to teach us a morals.

You act like the 1970 and early 80's were the epitome of virtue. See also studio 54 and a lot of other things going on at the time. Bad things happen and immoral things happen in every time. Even the 1930's. Flappers, gangsters, bathtub booze , speak easys. I think it's we hear more about bad and good things because of the internet. I was a kid back when the dukes aired so it seemed like a simpler time to me. One look at the news from back then and I can see that wasn't the case , not really any way. Oh well. Still love the the show. So try not to dispair about modern times.

You need a tv show to teach you morals?

Hey John, a guy named Mark Clark and his Brother Tim, built a General Lee tribute car out of a '70 Charger 500 in the very early '80's in North Vernon Indiana. Those guys were the living examples of Bo and Luke in our small one light town back then. I lived next door to them for a while and I worshipped the cool cars they built. And when Mark sold the General Lee to build his next car,,, I died a little bit inside. You see, I was too young to have any real money, and so, the General left North Vernon for Hope Indiana. Years later, I got the chance to buy him back into the North Vernon 'family'. I still have him today, though we lost Mark years ago in a bad accident. Mark and Tim followed in their Dad's footsteps, and became great mechanics and racers on the local dirt tracks. And from my distance, I have admired and honored them all of my life. Your show, gave ALL of us something to be proud of. And it gave Mark and Tim a chance to hone their skills at building some of the coolest damn wheels ever seen flying thru the air in our livingrooms across the country. I love my General Lee. And I came to love the Clark family as our neighbors and compatriots in arms. Mark and Tim followed the adventures of the General Lee just like me and millions of other kids did back then. I am 53 now, but every time I fire up the 440 in my General Lee, I feel just about 17 again. Thank you for sticking to the old ways and displaying the roof section in this video. The crybaby hatemongers will have to keep on whining about the flag. They've falsely assigned it to meaning it did not have on the show. Thanks so very much for this sharing of facts related to our beloved show. I paused it so I could subscribe right away.

So much love and respect for this man. Saw re runs of dukes in the late 80searly 90s as a kid, as young adult in college it was Smallville, when he was talking to Clark it was like he was talking to me , he really helped me in some dark times. Thank you

A bit late as far as seeing this but glad I did - I grew up on The Dukes and loved the show, even having the whole series on DVD (Yes even season - thinks - 5 ... but, had to have them all - but without Coy and Vance the show wouldn't have gone on for 2 more, so ....) Loved seeing you on Smallville as well (and yes have all of those DVD sets too - great series as well); thank you for all that you've done and continue to do. God bless.

John, Any chance of getting or interviewing more of the original cast members and doing a Q&A between yourselves? It would be neat seeing you guys just reminiscing and telling old stories.

What a fabulous video. Lovely to see you and have some great questions answered. Here in the UK growing up, Dukes was one of THOSE shows of the late 70s where all the kids playing outside would rush in the watch it. Shows of this era are treasured. BJ and The Bear, Knight Rider, Dukes, A-Team etc. Such memories! I’d love a Charger but sadly we don’t see hardly any here in England. Stay safe and take care!

Love it, thank you John. I watched Dukes regularly i was around 5-7 when it was aired but I remember watching it. Always tried to follow you and your career but lost track of you for awhile. Glad to see you here you've got a loyal fan.

I’ve never met you and I wished I could, but growing up watching the Dukes of Hazzard makes me feel like we are family and just want to let you know, I love you brother!

I still remember Friday's as a kid in the 80s. Not only did I love Friday's because I didn't have to go to school the next day, but because of the Incredible Hulk followed by the Dukes of Hazzard. The next show, I think, was Dallas. I can't remember, I used to turn the TV off after the Dukes of Hazzard. Because I wanted to get up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Oh how I miss being a kid in the 80s.

And year's of still watching the dukes of hazard and they took it off CMT I decided to record every episode ever made. I now have all of them. My favorite show ever. I miss it dearly. It was the best family tv show. I wish you could bring it back. I bought my son a metal cast car of the general Lee and now he has still in the box past it to his children.
