Sorry if you've been asked this over and over, but can we get some top 3 James Best stories? What an actor! I was just watching the episode with the Ghost of General Lee and James ability to be comical and then turn on sincerity and tears was awesome!
Agree, Best and Pyle were outstanding actors that had fantastic lenghthy careers in TV and movies. They demonstrated a complete range of acting abillities.
Huge fan! Was In high school watching dukes, today im 53, had a stroke, lost most of my memory, but I remember the Dukes and the General, just want to thank you for Being so genuine!
@@JohnSchneiderStudios I'm a big fan as well. I have all 7 seasons, the made for TV movies and the short lived animated series. Question, if given the opportunity to write and direct the next D of H TV movie, what would the story be?
I love love love the Dukes of Hazzard. Watched when I was a young child...51 now. Thank you for posting these clips. Youre really good to your fans John. 👍
Thank you so much sir for answering our questions. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting you when I worked as a security guard at WB movie studios. You were always so gracious and kind and I really appreciate it. It was during the Smallville years. Your Jonathon Kent is still my favorite. Thank you sir.
Mr. Schneider, I have a question. I loved the Dukes of Hazzard and watched it all the time growing up, but I wasn’t aware until I was older that their was a cartoon series. How involved were you all on that series and did you have any fond memories or any thoughts at all about that?
John I'm so glad, actually down right happy you came right out and condemned the Dukes movie that came out in 05. That literally was a downright insult and bastardization of the Dukes of Hazzard and everything the show stood for. I got a used copy on dvd years ago and after viewing it proceeded to toss it into my fire pit.
I have refused to watch that film. i knew right off the bat that it would be a mockery of the tv show. From what I've heard and the clips I've seen,it was exactly the trash I imagined it would be. I've seen the ABCFamily version and that was garbage as well.
I just recently subscribed and started watching your videos. Like probably everyone else, I was always up at the crack of dawn to watch Dukes reruns on Saturday mornings over a bowl of cereal. So I love these little bits of nostalgia you bring back with this channel. Thanks.
Thank you John for posting all these answers to fans questions. The Dukes was such a fun family show. And to hear how you and everyone involved with it interacted, and felt about the show, is truly insightful. Again thank you for taking the time to share this with us! Take care. Be safe.
John, I just love how you go into detail about all the aspects of Dukes of Hazzard! There’s definitely no secret, imo, how much you loved doing the series and all of the folks involved with it! Could you do me a small favor?...when you’re making a video for us could you turn your phone around to landscape mode instead of portrait? We not only want to see YOU but we want to see EVERYTHING around you as well! Take care, my friend, and stay safe!
John, watching you is like wearing my favorite pair of jeans, comfortable and familiar. I have been a fan of yours since the Duke days and enjoy watching all your videos. Keep posting videos, I think you have a bigger fan base than you realize.
Hey John, Thanks for the info. I am just old enough to have watched the dukes when it original aired. Yesterday I just watched the last episode, the one you wrote and directed. Everyday I start my day off with 1 or 2 episodes of the Dukes. I have successfully watched the entire series 5 times in a row. I try watching other shows in the morning but none of them have the same feel as the Dukes. Along time a go I got captivated by the license plates the camera would catch in every episode. Very few shows would ever do that. So I started writing them down with a description of the vehicle they went with and I am amazed at how many there was. By my count there were 201 plates that got captured by the camera.
Full View. I still have some of his autographed pictures, two on the wall. He cared about his fans. One time they offered a poster of him for 5.00. I sent the five dollars and asked them to send me an 8 by 10. I was a little old to have a big poster. A few weeks passed then I received 8 8X10s in the mail. I still have some of them and gave a couple to other fans. We just love him here. He has always been a straight up guy. Not many like him.
Mr Schneider, back in I believe in 1998 your where here in Indy for the MOPAR Grand Nationals. Met you in a hallway and you where one of the nicest people and very genuinely personable. It’s one of memories that seems to stick with you. Told my wife that I met John Schneider and she was a fan also of The Duke’s.
Live in England, introduced my three home schooled boys (aged 9 to 13) to Americana shows from 60's to early 90's as part of their Home Education as it gives a breadth of learning not available in today's programming. Dukes is a staple as a feel good family show. Nearly 50 myself, taught me a few values that I hope will rub off on them. Thank you Sir!
John, you're Fu**in AWESOME. Just wanted to tell you in case nobody has told you today. Aaaaaaand THANK YOU for decades of REAL entertainment! You're one of the last REAL good guys!
Thanks for putting that out there John! As one of my favorite shows as a child, watching the bastardized remakes of The Dukes of Hazzard makes me sick!
As always, another cool video from Mr Schneider!! Helps add a smile to my day! And as always, me and family are big long time fans of your's (and of course The Dukes!) from all the way up here in Ontario, Canada!! :)
I feel like John speaks to you personally like on a 1-1 level.Absolute gentleman I love listening to him no matter what he’s discussing.I am Scottish from Scotland 🏴
John, you seriously need to be cast on the upcoming season of Stranger Things. The Dukes were quintessential 80s, and coincidentally, most of ST's principal photography (the fictional town of Hawkins, IN) is filmed just down the highway from the original Hazzard (Covington, GA). Hey, you're from Atlanta, right? You already know the area. We need to start an internet movement to get you cast.
I really appreciate how you were able to police your integrity in the TV movies. You said it right for sure, I've considered the entire cast of the Dukes of Hazzard as family since I was a little boy and that never changed with age. Be well Sir and thank you for this awesome channel.
I absolutely love these videos john. It was an honor meeting you at the Cleveland autorama in the early 2000s! You're one of the most down to earth celebrities there are!
Good stuff, John. You all are good people. I miss the good ole' days. Especially, with the good ole' boys!! :-) I'll always have respect for the Dukes of Hazzard. Because it was good fun family entertainment with morals and values and of course, awesome American Muscle!!!
Hi John, I live in Santa Clarita and there is a hiking trail open to the public that intersects with the Dukes set! Its really a lot smaller than I imagined and interesting the hikers have no idea the magic that was captured there. Many of the roads are gone but the land is there and the straight stretch of road beginning with the Boars Nest to the big tree where many jumps took place is there. It would be awesome if you ever come out west to give a group tour of the location and exactly where everything was and memories that come up!
John I really enjoy you doing this! I sincerely hope you do not stop anytime soon. You were a great childhood role model, really appreciate you connecting with fans!
My dad just introduced me to Dukes of Hazzard...now my sister and I watch it every night! Love it!! Thank you so much for acting in an amazing show!!! #BoDukeisthebest
Love you John! Loved The Dukes of hazzard. Because of you and the cast, I have so many fond memories of my childhood, and dressing up like you and Tom for Halloween. Man... I wish I could have my metal Dukes of Hazzard lunch box back! Lol
The dukes of hazzard, without any doubt, was and still is a family show, so glad I was able to grow up with it, and now to enjoy it all over again, thanks to the internet.
Hey John, I agree about the 2006 redo of dukes of hazzard. They way they changed each character for a cheap laugh was brutal. Especially they way they made Uncle Jesse raunchy and completely suxualized Daisy. Changed the entire feel of the program. Your cast was and always will be the actual Duke family. Loved the show and the General Lee is the coolest car of all time
John thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement to all. I have been without a basketball half court for 3 months now whining about it as I lose muscle. I have a non usable 18 inch car wheel and a cutting torch. It’s time I stand up and cut a basketball hoop out and get with it and start knocking some threes down. You are still my hero as when I was a kid
It’s really great that you take the time to answer all these dukes questions. I thought the two reunion movies with the original cast were great - good family entertainment and captured the spirit of the original series well, especially the 1997 reunion movie. Both were so much better than the terrible 2005 movie that followed! Thanks for posting these videos and keeping all your fans happy! 👍
Hey John , I am a big fan of yours and the rest of the Dukes y'all made growing up for me a fun time thank all of you for that, now my question is what are Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach up to these days ? We don't hear from them much anymore, thank you for your time
I agree John the crap that came out after except for the movie reunions that y'all were in. That's exactly what they were crap. You and Tom can not be replaced. Neither can Catherine or anyone else from the original cast. I grew up watching y'all and y'all will forever be The Dukes. 🙂💖
Thanks John for keeping us posted. I hope you are aware that change is on the way for USA. If i rent a Dukes video on You Tube do you see any benefit? If not i will look to supply my Library of Dukes Of Hazzard another way. And yeah, i get it. Im a "Jedi".. Thanks for being so courageous and bringing beer, shirt and saying you were from Georgia. Classic. Evel did that with Caesers Palace Jump gone bad. How do I watch Christmas Cars?
I never did know that about the tv movies you guys made! Thanks for keeping true to the series with them and I felt like i was a kid all over again when I did hear they were gonna be on tv! Love the Q&A sessions! (I still try to watch the shows I have on DVD on Friday nights!)
Greetings from Portugal. It's my birthday today, I'm turning 41... I arrived home, and my wife got for me a huge General Lee cake... I was 5 year old again😂. Thank you Sir, and stay safe.
See people Mr S is a FAR CRY from Jim Cryer . What a sweetie he is , great to have as a friend . The videos are really awesome, and hear JS sing he is really incredible .
John, out of all the Warner Brothers owned General Lees that you’ve driven, is there any one in particular that sticks in your mind as a extra special car? Maybe it was extra fast, survived a lot of abuse, etc. Thanks for all you do for the fans of the Dukes of Hazzard!
Thank you sir for answering about the newer movies. I haven’t watched them, and I won’t, because I grew up watching the show every Friday night as a kid. To this day, I still value the tv show, and that show only.
This is not so,much as a question as it is a thank you! This is why.....I was with my kids dad and we had our first baby in 1995. When,he turned 2yrs old,his uncle on his dad's side took a huge interest in him. After,his uncle's work was over he would come and get my son and they would watch your show on VHS,for hrs. They became glued to each other. It was great! Then,on a Saturday morning he (my son) everyone heard a gun shot. He took his own life. My son was devastated. That's what my son remembered through the YEARS. Until I found him with a gun shot to the head. My youngest son was just like my oldest son LOST. He talks about The Dukes of Hazzard,too! Now,he has all your tapes. 3 mths b4 that I lost my dad to cancer,after caring for him him for 6yrs. My dad's mom hung herself and my dad found her. Depression is very real. With you talking to fans is a GREAT thing! This is a hard time for EVERYONE,so don't STOP what your doing! Thank you,AGAIN! Best Wishes and stay safe😢
John I love your videos and have watched them for a while now. Kind of stumbled onto them. You’re a good man. People always ask stars what their favorite episode is but my question is what is your least favorite Dukes episode. One you wish you never made or could make over again. God bless.
I have a question and I would love if you could answer it, did you like the 69s or the 68 chargers better and what is your favorite piece of Dukes merchandise?
I absolutely love the first Dukes Reunion I thought it was well written and a fantastic reunion movie. John I thought everyone was happy with it. I'm not sure now after your answer lol
Hello John! Still watch Dukes. Got the whole series on dvd. One question I have would be to get your take on when you and Tom left the series and was replaced by Byron and Chris, how that came about, how it all worked out for you guys to come back, which I think we were all glad about. Thanks!
I like the reunion movies because they have the original cast in them. The two films that came later are in my Dukes collection but they don't get played very often. Rest in Peace Sorrell Booke, Denver Pyle and James Best
I don't wanna waste ur time( I was a fan growing up😁) I was hoping you'd tell us what became of the Confederate sister's BEAUTIFUL piano? Hoping you say it's it a museum somewhere. Or just that it's safe! Thank you Love, have great night! Keep workin out and keep your chin up!
I just read the article detailing John's opinion about the Dukes 2006 "movie." I couldn't agree more with John. There are no words to describe just how bad that thing was.
I remember watching "the Dukes go to Hollywood" and when it was over I wondered what I could have ever liked about the TV show. During the last three seasons of the Dukes I was unable to watch on a regular basis due to my being my being in prison, she called it marriage I called it prison LOLOL. So when that movie came out I had sort of forgotten the "real" Dukes family and the movie just really more annoyed me than anything. The 2006 movie was beyond disgusting, I had heard that several of the original cast members were not happy with it and "Cooter" was really, REALLY outspoken about how terrible it was. I watched it when it came out on video and wow was I ever disappointed and disgusted. The way they had Daisy and Uncle Jesse really annoyed me especially, Daisy was basically the town tramp and Jesse was just a stoner as far as I was concerned with the way the movie made them out to be. Roscoe was mean and nasty, Boss Hogg (played by Burt Reynolds) was actually not too bad. Bo and Luke were idiots who seemed to hate each other more than have one another's back. The one thing that the writers and producers of that movie, and even the Hollywood one, seemed to not be able to understand and could not get into contact with was the charm of the Dukes of Hazzard TV show, and that charm was simply this - LOVE. On the TV show Bo and Luke loved Daisy, on the 2006 movie it seemed they wanted "to do" Daisy if you know what I mean. Which to be honest I am surprised they did not actually more allude to, cause ya know down south we all do our cousins hyuck hyuck. The TV show may have pitted Boss Hogg and Roscoe against the Dukes every week, but there was still a love even between them, especially Roscoe. I remember the episodes where Bo and Luke "died" and that touching moment when Uncle Jesse was told that they had died in the pond. The look on Roscoe's face and the way he and Jesse sat at that table, even Boss Hogg seemed ready to be willing to give up all he owned to have them back. The movie versions would have played that as Roscoe and JD being overjoyed that they were dead. I know it's expensive and I know that it might not do so well in today's world, but darnit John Schneider I wish YOU and your studio would make a new Dukes of Hazzard TV show but put it on RUclips or even on Netflix. Maybe your studios could actually have their own channel, or use this one, and present weekly episodes like they do with those fan created Star Trek movies. Sure at first they might not get much attention, but with you in charge and your connection to the show I think it would become a hit, with the right cast members and of course the right scripts. One idea I had for a TV show of the Dukes was a sort of now and then type of a theme. At the beginning of each episode You and Tom Wopat could be your older... I mean more life experienced selves and have your own boys find themselves in a situation that reminds you two of when you were younger and then you start talking about that and the cameras slowly fade out to the now younger Bo and Luke and the adventure the older Bo and Luke are talking about. This way the fans of the older show would tune in because of you and Tom being on it and then newer fans could fall in love with today's Bo and Luke - sound good? Ok then, get to it!! Lol.
I'm still wondering what cigars did boss prefer to smoke or did he really even enjoy smoking,thanks for taking the time to share with us,have a great day.
Don't know why the Dukes can't be brought back on CBS All Access. Bo,Luke,Daisy return to Hazzard County and help a new generation of Dukes to fight the system like a two modern day robin hood. Yee-Haw!
I have a couple of Smallville questions. What was your favorite episode that you were a part of? Lexmas was one of my favorites. Also Do you think Jonathan Kent played a part in Lex's fall into the person he became? It was always my opinion that he did because watching Lex always just wanted to be accepted by the Kent's and be considered part of the family but Jonathan never could trust him and pushed him away. Hope you're able to answer these. Thanks
Did anyone have trouble getting along on the set? I know these days there are a lot of divas that are difficult to work with. And also, are the chances of any further reunion movies completely out of the question? I'm a superfan that has watched everything Dukes related.
Terrific video. For what it’s worth, I loved the first Dukes if Hazzard reunion movie. I thought it captured the spirit of the show perfectly and on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 9. It lost the 10 in the last minutes when Daisy didn’t marry Enos. It was a reunion movie not an episode. Changes like that can happen and should have. The Hollywood movie less so. I still enjoyed it but it was more of a 6 or 7. The other movies that came out in the theater and the prequel one were 1s.
John, I have a Dukes question. I have all the season of the Dukes of Hazzard on DVD, Thank you all for great entertainment. So question is do you know if there is any unused material not seen or used that can be put to DVD and sold to the fans?. Thank your again
I have a question: what were the reasons behind using miniatures for many of the action scenes in series 7;and what were the cast and crews opinions of them?
Much love from south Texas. I love this show and I’ve loved it since I was a little boy. It is the greatest show ever and it was the only show a rancher like myself enjoyed watching with my family and I did not have to worry about the content and I could relate to it so well. I grew up with the values of the show and that is why I love it so much. Thank you sir for making theses videos. I have a question Mr. Schneider, So why did Bo and Luke leave and have Coy and Vance on the show?
Good video John. Just curious though, if you had the chance to acquire the rights to the Dukes of Hazzard franchise, would you do it? You could make it a better success than the 2 movies in 2005 and 2007 by bringing in a new cast who are related to the originals. If not I can understand and I respect that.
Great to see you enjoying the sunshine John. It's sunny here in Lincolnshire, UK today. One of our rarely moments of sunny weather. I personally have been walking 3-4 miles a day while this has been going on. Feel kinda better for it, muscles ache a bit, but that must be am doing it correctly. I posted on another video: what brand of blue denim jackets did you wear, or were they just generic denim jackets? I know Levi and Wrangler are the bigger brands for it. Lastly, when a jump was performed, particularly over a river, how did they calculate the speed and high of the ramp, to ensure they landed near or after the landing spot? Cheers. Simon M L.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios Thanks for replying John. Really appreciate it. Just wondering the brand, as would love to get similar, but perhaps this sort of detail isn't something that was taken note of. Keep safe, and keep doing the vids. PS. do you get many of those lizards around?
Such a nice guy. Always liked him on the show. Glad to know he’s cool in real life
john actually cares about his fans very rare to find that in celebrities
Absolutely, it's crystal clear that this is the case. Top-man, great channel.
@@charlestaylor2594 yes he really does!! It's definitely rare, exactly why his channel is fun

Love this man reminds me of family I think it would be great just to spend the day with him just to hang out

I thought the two reunion movies with the original cast were great - good family entertainment and captured the spirit of the original series well, especially the 1997 reunion movie. Both were so much better than the terrible 2005 movie that followed! Thanks for posting these videos and keeping all your fans happy! 👍
You are great. I grew up watching Dukes.
Great job John !!!
Hey John , I am a big fan of yours and the rest of the Dukes y'all made growing up for me a fun time thank all of you for that, now my question is what are Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach up to these days ? We don't hear from them much anymore, thank you for your time
nice job bud be safe and stay healthy..
I agree John the crap that came out after except for the movie reunions that y'all were in. That's exactly what they were crap. You and Tom can not be replaced. Neither can Catherine or anyone else from the original cast. I grew up watching y'all and y'all will forever be The Dukes. 🙂💖
"Generally a bad idea." General Lee.. LOL
Thanks John for keeping us posted. I hope you are aware that change is on the way for USA. If i rent a Dukes video on You Tube do you see any benefit? If not i will look to supply my Library of Dukes Of Hazzard another way. And yeah, i get it. Im a "Jedi".. Thanks for being so courageous and bringing beer, shirt and saying you were from Georgia. Classic. Evel did that with Caesers Palace Jump gone bad. How do I watch Christmas Cars?
Thanks for the video John
I do agree John. Never watched the remake and never will. Love you. Peace and joy.
I never did know that about the tv movies you guys made! Thanks for keeping true to the series with them and I felt like i was a kid all over again when I did hear they were gonna be on tv! Love the Q&A sessions! (I still try to watch the shows I have on DVD on Friday nights!)
Greetings from Portugal. It's my birthday today, I'm turning 41... I arrived home, and my wife got for me a huge General Lee cake... I was 5 year old again😂. Thank you Sir, and stay safe.
Happy Birthday!
@@JohnSchneiderStudios , Thank you. 👍
See people Mr S is a FAR CRY from Jim Cryer . What a sweetie he is , great to have as a friend . The videos are really awesome, and hear JS sing he is really incredible .
John, out of all the Warner Brothers owned General Lees that you’ve driven, is there any one in particular that sticks in your mind as a extra special car? Maybe it was extra fast, survived a lot of abuse, etc. Thanks for all you do for the fans of the Dukes of Hazzard!
Thank you sir for answering about the newer movies. I haven’t watched them, and I won’t, because I grew up watching the show every Friday night as a kid. To this day, I still value the tv show, and that show only.
Geek and Son loves John Schneider!
This is not so,much as a question as it is a thank you! This is why.....I was with my kids dad and we had our first baby in 1995. When,he turned 2yrs old,his uncle on his dad's side took a huge interest in him. After,his uncle's work was over he would come and get my son and they would watch your show on VHS,for hrs. They became glued to each other. It was great! Then,on a Saturday morning he (my son) everyone heard a gun shot. He took his own life. My son was devastated. That's what my son remembered through the YEARS. Until I found him with a gun shot to the head. My youngest son was just like my oldest son LOST. He talks about The Dukes of Hazzard,too! Now,he has all your tapes. 3 mths b4 that I lost my dad to cancer,after caring for him him for 6yrs. My dad's mom hung herself and my dad found her. Depression is very real. With you talking to fans is a GREAT thing! This is a hard time for EVERYONE,so don't STOP what your doing! Thank you,AGAIN! Best Wishes and stay safe😢
Condolences for your many losses.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios Thank you🌺
Love how he says ... Cause we are family
John I love your videos and have watched them for a while now. Kind of stumbled onto them. You’re a good man. People always ask stars what their favorite episode is but my question is what is your least favorite Dukes episode. One you wish you never made or could make over again. God bless.
Dukes of Hazzard was the best😊👍That’s why I drive a challenger hellcat redeye today 😎
I have a question and I would love if you could answer it, did you like the 69s or the 68 chargers better and what is your favorite piece of Dukes merchandise?
I absolutely love the first Dukes Reunion I thought it was well written and a fantastic reunion movie. John I thought everyone was happy with it. I'm not sure now after your answer lol
Hello John! Still watch Dukes. Got the whole series on dvd. One question I have would be to get your take on when you and Tom left the series and was replaced by Byron and Chris, how that came about, how it all worked out for you guys to come back, which I think we were all glad about. Thanks!
I like the reunion movies because they have the original cast in them. The two films that came later are in my Dukes collection but they don't get played very often.
Rest in Peace Sorrell Booke, Denver Pyle and James Best
I don't know, it's possible. It's a shame there wasn't though
Yo John, I'm totally disabled, hard to work out, but still a fan
I don't wanna waste ur time( I was a fan growing up😁) I was hoping you'd tell us what became of the Confederate sister's BEAUTIFUL piano? Hoping you say it's it a museum somewhere. Or just that it's safe! Thank you Love, have great night! Keep workin out and keep your chin up!
I just read the article detailing John's opinion about the Dukes 2006 "movie." I couldn't agree more with John. There are no words to describe just how bad that thing was.
...” and that’s ‘Generally’ a bad idea” line at the end! 👍🏻😁 Can’t plan this stuff- it’s destiny. #GeneralLee
I love these behind the scenes chat. I am debating on buying the series on DVD or iTunes
I remember watching "the Dukes go to Hollywood" and when it was over I wondered what I could have ever liked about the TV show. During the last three seasons of the Dukes I was unable to watch on a regular basis due to my being my being in prison, she called it marriage I called it prison LOLOL. So when that movie came out I had sort of forgotten the "real" Dukes family and the movie just really more annoyed me than anything. The 2006 movie was beyond disgusting, I had heard that several of the original cast members were not happy with it and "Cooter" was really, REALLY outspoken about how terrible it was. I watched it when it came out on video and wow was I ever disappointed and disgusted. The way they had Daisy and Uncle Jesse really annoyed me especially, Daisy was basically the town tramp and Jesse was just a stoner as far as I was concerned with the way the movie made them out to be. Roscoe was mean and nasty, Boss Hogg (played by Burt Reynolds) was actually not too bad. Bo and Luke were idiots who seemed to hate each other more than have one another's back. The one thing that the writers and producers of that movie, and even the Hollywood one, seemed to not be able to understand and could not get into contact with was the charm of the Dukes of Hazzard TV show, and that charm was simply this - LOVE. On the TV show Bo and Luke loved Daisy, on the 2006 movie it seemed they wanted "to do" Daisy if you know what I mean. Which to be honest I am surprised they did not actually more allude to, cause ya know down south we all do our cousins hyuck hyuck.
The TV show may have pitted Boss Hogg and Roscoe against the Dukes every week, but there was still a love even between them, especially Roscoe. I remember the episodes where Bo and Luke "died" and that touching moment when Uncle Jesse was told that they had died in the pond. The look on Roscoe's face and the way he and Jesse sat at that table, even Boss Hogg seemed ready to be willing to give up all he owned to have them back. The movie versions would have played that as Roscoe and JD being overjoyed that they were dead.
I know it's expensive and I know that it might not do so well in today's world, but darnit John Schneider I wish YOU and your studio would make a new Dukes of Hazzard TV show but put it on RUclips or even on Netflix. Maybe your studios could actually have their own channel, or use this one, and present weekly episodes like they do with those fan created Star Trek movies. Sure at first they might not get much attention, but with you in charge and your connection to the show I think it would become a hit, with the right cast members and of course the right scripts. One idea I had for a TV show of the Dukes was a sort of now and then type of a theme. At the beginning of each episode You and Tom Wopat could be your older... I mean more life experienced selves and have your own boys find themselves in a situation that reminds you two of when you were younger and then you start talking about that and the cameras slowly fade out to the now younger Bo and Luke and the adventure the older Bo and Luke are talking about. This way the fans of the older show would tune in because of you and Tom being on it and then newer fans could fall in love with today's Bo and Luke - sound good? Ok then, get to it!! Lol.
Youll be in Bo shape in no time
I have enjoyed working with him on set. John is really nice.
I'm still wondering what cigars did boss prefer to smoke or did he really even enjoy smoking,thanks for taking the time to share with us,have a great day.
Don't know why the Dukes can't be brought back on CBS All Access.
Bo,Luke,Daisy return to Hazzard County and help a new generation of Dukes to fight the system like a two modern day robin hood. Yee-Haw!
Column shift is cool. I drove a friend's truck that had a manual column shift.
Looks like Bo Duke is heading for the W W E. I'll be your manager 😎
I have a couple of Smallville questions. What was your favorite episode that you were a part of? Lexmas was one of my favorites. Also Do you think Jonathan Kent played a part in Lex's fall into the person he became? It was always my opinion that he did because watching Lex always just wanted to be accepted by the Kent's and be considered part of the family but Jonathan never could trust him and pushed him away. Hope you're able to answer these. Thanks
Couldn’t agree more on the 06 movie. They did the same thing to the CHIPs movie that Dax Sheppard did
Did anyone have trouble getting along on the set? I know these days there are a lot of divas that are difficult to work with. And also, are the chances of any further reunion movies completely out of the question? I'm a superfan that has watched everything Dukes related.
Terrific video. For what it’s worth, I loved the first Dukes if Hazzard reunion movie. I thought it captured the spirit of the show perfectly and on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 9. It lost the 10 in the last minutes when Daisy didn’t marry Enos. It was a reunion movie not an episode. Changes like that can happen and should have. The Hollywood movie less so. I still enjoyed it but it was more of a 6 or 7. The other movies that came out in the theater and the prequel one were 1s.
John, I have a Dukes question. I have all the season of the Dukes of Hazzard on DVD, Thank you all for great entertainment. So question is do you know if there is any unused material not seen or used that can be put to DVD and sold to the fans?. Thank your again
I need to do what you're doing brother I got to exercise as a trucker we can gain weight faster than anybody
I have a question: what were the reasons behind using miniatures for many of the action scenes in series 7;and what were the cast and crews opinions of them?
I cant watch season 7 because the miniatures ruined the concept of the show. They even had few in season 6.
John you should make a movie, about Bo's dad and Mom a prequel, you can be Bo's dad, since they were never mentioned in the show
Much love from south Texas. I love this show and I’ve loved it since I was a little boy. It is the greatest show ever and it was the only show a rancher like myself enjoyed watching with my family and I did not have to worry about the content and I could relate to it so well. I grew up with the values of the show and that is why I love it so much. Thank you sir for making theses videos. I have a question Mr. Schneider, So why did Bo and Luke leave and have Coy and Vance on the show?
I would love your thoughts about Daisy's yellow Roadrunner change to the white Jeep. Where is that Roadrunner today.
Good video John. Just curious though, if you had the chance to acquire the rights to the Dukes of Hazzard franchise, would you do it? You could make it a better success than the 2 movies in 2005 and 2007 by bringing in a new cast who are related to the originals. If not I can understand and I respect that.
Great to see you enjoying the sunshine John. It's sunny here in Lincolnshire, UK today. One of our rarely moments of sunny weather. I personally have been walking 3-4 miles a day while this has been going on. Feel kinda better for it, muscles ache a bit, but that must be am doing it correctly.
I posted on another video: what brand of blue denim jackets did you wear, or were they just generic denim jackets? I know Levi and Wrangler are the bigger brands for it.
Lastly, when a jump was performed, particularly over a river, how did they calculate the speed and high of the ramp, to ensure they landed near or after the landing spot?
Cheers. Simon M L.
Tom wore the jacket. I always wore a tan shirt.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios Thanks for replying John. Really appreciate it. Just wondering the brand, as would love to get similar, but perhaps this sort of detail isn't something that was taken note of. Keep safe, and keep doing the vids. PS. do you get many of those lizards around?
How did first unit communicate with second unit on clothes/car coordination; which car was chasing which, who was driving, etc.?
