I was 8 when it started,Babysitter would come over we would take a bath and put on our Dukes onesy pJ's fire up pop corn maker after show straight to bed. Show started at 8pm.We went right to bed so we could get up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons and have cereal Then play atari
I was 10 as well when it started. About this time, I was starting to become nearsighted. So my Friday night ritual was to put two pillows about 7 or 8 feet on living room floor from TV. And that big bowl of popcorn was always there. Fun times with all three CBS show, Incredible Hulk, Dukes, then Dallas.
The Duke's of Hazzard brings back great memories when i was a little boy. My whole family, dad, mom, sister and I would sit together and watch. Sadly this favourable situation didn't last.
One of the Best things I remember from my early teen years was The Dukes of Hazzard oh man that was some good quality family time back then...now some of those family members have passed on over the years but those fond memories will live forever.
I was 11 when if came out in the Fall of 78 I think? By the time I was 13 I had already outgrown it. For me (at that age) it became too cartoonish. Those Georgia episodes we always be my favorite.
Still one of my hero’s to this day. I grew up watching the Duke’s of Hazzard. My whole family watched every Friday night on CBS in the living room. No distractions, no cellphone’s, no internet. 3 generations of us, spending family time together watching the Duke’s. Thanks for some of the most important times in my life with family.
Hi John, I love to hear your stories about the Dukes days. We hear a lot about the General Lee, but could you give me any facts about Boss Hoggs Cadillac. Was it owned by the Studios or was it privately owned? Do you know if it is still about? Take care, Jeff
Yeah I’m curious to know if they needed multiple Cadillacs on hand as well as Jesse’s Ford pick ups since they didn’t get destroyed on a regular basis.
@@davidmeyer8133 Hi David I don't remember a Cadillac being destroyed. I remember in one episode, I can't remember why but he was soaked in water in one. I don't know what model of Uncle Jessie's pick up was. Someone is bound to know.
@@davidmeyer8133 Great question and I'm wondering that as well. I do remember one of the people involved with the show saying when they jumped the Cadillac it bent. The only jump I remember seeing was an over-the-camera one. Typical Hollywood operation is to have more than one vehicle ready because even if it's not a main vehicle like the General (which was wrecked a lot), they still do not want any down time due to an accident or mechanical failure because time is money. So I'd be very surprised if they didn't have 2 or 3. Maybe John will remember seeing more than one.
I have fond memories of watching the Dukes. It was my favorite show, I was 10 yrs old when it premiered. My friend and I use to get our bikes and pretend we were racing around in our cars. Good times! I admire your commitment to working out, and you don't look your age. Thank you for taking time to explain some of the technical aspects of the filming world, I am a photographer, not professional yet, and I love all the technical stuff. I am planning to create my own photograpy studio at home, nothing fancy by any means, I have a job site trailer I want to convert into my studio. Thanks for answering questions about the show, and sharing your experience during your time on The Dukes of Hazzard.
Hi Mr Schneider I have always been a big fan of your dukes of Hazzards shows and music you are such an inspiration to people and spreading the love and kindness through your work I am sure that all of us here appreciate you and other actors and singers as well so God bless you and your family!!!!
Hello from Kansas. I've been a fan of the show since it first aired. My kids grew up with the show and they loved it. I actually had every teen magazine pic of you plastered on my walls to the point the paneling behind them was non-existent. Love the stories you share about the days of Dukes and keep them coming. Thanks for everything you do and you look great. Take care and be safe.
John you are definitely one of my favorite actors you worked with the best on Dukes and other shows and i have a lot of respect for you God Bless You and Thank You for helping make my Childhood and adolescent years much better
Hi John. Not only does the Dukes live in our hearts and souls, it lives in our TV by being shown every day on the Forces Channel in the UK, though we also have the DVDs!
Lookin’ great, as per usual! Love these videos, you must have an awesome memory! My husband does too! I don’t unfortunately, never did and got worse after menopause (I call it ‘mental’ pause). LOL John you bring joy and your smile is always so great to see! I’m just a long time fan (‘60s child too ‘67) who recently subscribed, and you make my day! God bless and take care! 🙂🥰
Thanks for sharing John!! I was always curious myself as a kid if you guys were drinking real beer and now I know and that makes it much more better!!! You were my childhood hero Bo Duke!!! That'll never go away!!! Thanks for being you John and keep the videos coming I truly enjoy every one!!!
I just watched a video of your and Tom Wopat's screen test in 1978 I think it said. Ya'll looked so young. We watched the Dukes every week when I was a little girl. I usually stayed with my grandma that night and she and my older cousin loved the show too. Sadly, they are both gone now, so its truly bittersweet memories for me.
Something I think would be cool is if you and other cast members and crew would watch some of the episodes and talk about your memories of filming. Kind of a Mystery Science Theater thing but better.
Thank you! I have been trying to find out the name of that fellow who played the bartender for years. I noticed he left around halfway through season 5. Anyone know why?
🤣 I'm 51 and I feel the same as you do! I used to be lean and mean but it kinda got up and left, lol, so yeah, I need to get back to working out myself....Thanks for the videos, I really enjoy them.
Awesome! I did a Bicycle run on the old Putnam line starting from 133 out of Mt.Kisco, NY then calisthenics at faun-stock ,NY. Then followed up on the bicycle ride to Katona, NY. I am sure you remember these places.
Hey John! I wanted to know what your and Tom's reaction was when you first saw the General Lee. At that moment, did you ever think that the car would become such an important piece of the show? I know Cathy drove the GL quite a bit, was she as good a driver as you?
Dukes was so important to my childhood I miss that way of life .it was truly about family and life is such a great place if we want to be. Thanks Duke family.iowa boy out...
Always happy watching these. You were always my "What would ____________ Do?" hero growing up. Any problem that happened "What would Bo do?" Some people had Batman, Some people had superman. My moral compass was Bo Duke.
You had me at beer and The Dukes of Hazard hahhaa. It would be awesome to see you guys have a beer at the Boars Nest now , if it's even still there. I took guitar lessons while the show was on air and the guitar teacher asked me, what song would you like to play? well of course i said the theme song for The dukes of Hazard hahhaaa, a tall order for a 10 year old. Now at 50 , i do play it a little better. Best show ever!
Have you not been putting videos out? This is the first time I saw you in my feed in a month and I'm subscribed to your channel. Also, you have a great memory for an old guy.
hi john i love hearing your stories. ive been a bo duke fan since the 80s. love watching u on all the shows u have been on including leverage with christian kane. keep up the good work john u look great. love ya.
I joined yesterday. I had to. My profile pic of me with dear friend, John Kapelos, is a very old one. I have lost 100 pounds since then. but I could not lose anymore. Still have 85 pounds to go. Desperate. So I am going to give this a try. Good luck to you both on getting in shape.
How Did You Make The General Lee Glow In The Dark In the Episode The Ghost Of General Lee. And How Did You Film The Scene With The Rattlesnake In The General Lee?
Hey john loved the video! I have a question. I seen a video of James Best and he walking about the time where you were on set and a chandalier fell and grazed your head and hurt your shoulder. Is that true?
God bless you John. So down to earth!! I do have a Dukes of Hazzard question. In the first season of the show. Y'all used a real sheriff's office and a real town. Where was thise scenes filmed ( what town/state). If tou already answered this please forgive me. Take care and keep the workout going. Looking good for being 60!!!! God bless and keep the laughs coming. Love your videos!!!
Loved Dukes of Hazzard really Bo Duke. Thanks for the reveal by taking off the shirt like I requested in yesterday's video. WOOOHOOO! looking good for 60 but more like 35 TO40!
Couple of years ago, I had a double bypass on my heart. A lot of the nurses on that floor thought I was 45-years old, by the way I was recovering so fast. But I told them, "No, I'm 58! But thank you, kindly."
John can you answer some questions on Daisy's yellow Plymouth? Why did you replace it? Did the stunt drivers have trouble driving it? (in the scene where you drove it off the cliff you can see they dirt drifts were understeering into the side of the road -- probably because it has a longer wheelbase versus a Charger they were used to). What was under the hood?
Good to hear about other stuff then just the cars it was fun loved the show and all ,do not get me wrong but as a older teen my main focus at the time was " Bo Duke " LOL Yep John loved your music too I owned your first record now and never . As a googly eyed teen girl /young adult your music made me nuts . I am sure lots of others too . Well I am glad you made this channel and can get back in touch with your music and get the chance to communicate on here. Thanks for sharing your life and behind the scene of the dukes and other shows . Oh yeah and the exercise something I really need. Its inspiring.
(mysterious SAG actor here) Many years ago I was an extra for a TV show, sitting at a bar, sipping a drink during filming. I was actually sipping the drink. Then a PA came around astonished and ask "Are you actually drinking that?" " Uh...yeah." I replied. He just shook his head and walked away. It makes me wonder what I was drinking. It looked and tasted like old Iced Tea, in a whiskey glass. But I wonder.
@@MrChuck1888 I wish they would at least do an animated form of season 11. However, if you're interested in how the comics season went, you can subscribe to DC Universe for like $8.65 a month after taxes and they have all the comics on there. Its pretty cool because you get the Smallville take on Batman, something we were always wanting in the show. And there's not minimum subscription period, so you can subscribe, read all the comics, then unsubscribe. But they also have some good visual media. They cycle through different movies, and they have their original series' like Titans.
Hey John quick question, im a railroad buff and was wondering how you were able to jump a moving train and why you didnt do that more often? I know they were filmed out west because the Southern Pacific never ran past the Midwest or Chicago. And in multiple episodes I have seen Southern Pacific locomotives. Thanks for answering and have a great day.
when you were doing both the TV show and the reunion movies, did you (like knight rider) have one car for the long shots (scene's where the car is simply driven up and they get out or have a conversation and the car is in the back ground) and then just a bunch of stunt cars for jumping and crashing?
Great stuff guys! I love learning about the filming side of it, since that's what I do. I never knew about the "stand-ins" that was really interesting. We are pretty close by you. We are in Carencro Louisiana. Keep up the great videos. We just subbed.
Dang I thank i need to get off my backside ,and work out keep up the hard work👍 .Well that was one of my questions from a older video 🤣🤣 well three days a go answered,about the real beer. Later 💯❤️
John, do any of the screen used Boss Hogg Cadillac's exist today? How many were there? What other real screen used cars still exist except the GL or police cars?
“First time caller, long time listener!” Have to agree with many. childhood best memories from the Dukes! Really great that you are keeping it alive and spending your time relaying all of it to us! Q: why did the show never have you guys with guns. Only Bow and Arrow (which I think was great/brilliant). And did you guys take bow lessons? Or your doubles shot the bows?
random question, to honk the dixie horn on the General Lee was it actually on the center of the steering wheel (like a traditional horn) or was there a separate switch? And was it always the actual car we heard or was it added later in post production? Sorry if this has been asked before. Love the videos John! -Rob
I actually met James Best briefly in the summer of 88. It was at a local festival. I live down south so The Dukes of Hazzard was very popular. He was walking through the crowd and was absolutely mobbed. People would not leave him alone. I mean it was "ROSCOE" AND "YEEEEEE HAAAA" every turn that man made. He had bought a house on the lake but you never saw him in town and I can understand why. If you read this I have a question for you. How have you handled the life of a celebrity? Being constantly approached and having no real privacy would have to get old. You seem to have done quite well with it and are down to earth. If you've already covered this my apologies but I just found your channel. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the good work :)
Hey John.. Just a dukes question. I know there were heaps of general lees used through out the show. How about boss hoggs caddy. How many were used and what were the specs of the car ?!
Who was your favorite or favorites people (bad grammar, but I don't want to change it in case someone laughs) to work or act with? I'm a teen and love the Dukes show, and this keeps running through my head. Did you even have a favorite person, or was everyone equally pleasurable to work with?
I was in Tennessee this past October and picked up a few hundred dollars of merchandise from 2 of the cooter's locations, and one thing I bought was a general lee coozie that's now my favorite. 🍻🇺🇸❤
Glad you had had real beer! Just curious, did the fact that you and Tom may have had to shoot the same seine multiple times factor into how much you guys would drink? I have always wondered how this plays into filming scenes on Dukes where you guys where eating? Especially when Boss was trying to eat an oversize sandwich! Did you guys eat just enough food during each take to make it appear as if you where eating a full meal?
On the Dukes whenever they showed a scene where you were driving the General Lee in the close up shots from the side window or through front windshield most of the times you can clearly tell the background moving was on a screen cause it didn't look as clear and defined as everything else. While that was happening and you were pretending to be driving were you really sitting still in a parked car while some people stood outside of the car out of sight pushing the General Lee from side to side to make it look like the car was moving somewhat lol ? You know what I mean ? In some driving shots you can tell they aren't really driving just cause the audio is so clear but at the same time you see the General Lee kinda moving up and down as if it were driving on a bumpy road or something. How'd they get the car to move while staying still ?
I’m curious, when filming the dukes of hazzard, we all know that a load of Dodge Charger general lees were trashed during filming but when you see John and Tom driving (live not projection) how many different generals were used for that? Or was there just one drivable hero car for these driving to and from shots?
This one is good I respect it I was born in the 70s grew up in the 80s watch The dukes of Hazzard and well you look good for your age I didn't think you were that much older than me I knew you were 18 when he started but I wish I grew up in the 70s instead it was born
John said in an earlier Q&A that after they filmed the first five episodes in Georgia and relocated to the Warner Bros Studios in California, people from WB took photos of the Boar's Nest from every angle and built as exact of a replica as they could.
Love to hear the stories about filming Dukes, I love to go back and watch the episodes you talk about!
there was nothing like sitting down as a 10 year old and watching the duke boys and injoying a big bowl of cereal and it was a great time
There is nothing like a guy in his youth watching this eating whatever he had. I, possibly unlike my classmates, watch it still. Love the show

Love you John, you're the best!!!!! Been a fan since I was a kid(49 now) and still a fan today!!!! God Bless you Sir....🇺🇸
Enjoy listening to your stories and looking at your smile. Thank you for bringing back good memories of my teenage years.
Hi John, I love to hear your stories about the Dukes days. We hear a lot about the General Lee, but could you give me any facts about Boss Hoggs Cadillac.
Was it owned by the Studios or was it privately owned?
Do you know if it is still about?
Take care, Jeff
Yeah I’m curious to know if they needed multiple Cadillacs on hand as well as Jesse’s Ford pick ups since they didn’t get destroyed on a regular basis.
@@davidmeyer8133 Hi David I don't remember a Cadillac being destroyed. I remember in one episode, I can't remember why but he was soaked in water in one. I don't know what model of Uncle Jessie's pick up was. Someone is bound to know.

John, do any of the screen used Boss Hogg Cadillac's exist today? How many were there? What other real screen used cars still exist except the GL or police cars?
Louisiana humidity!? I'm with John.
“First time caller, long time listener!” Have to agree with many. childhood best memories from the Dukes! Really great that you are keeping it alive and spending your time relaying all of it to us! Q: why did the show never have you guys with guns. Only Bow and Arrow (which I think was great/brilliant). And did you guys take bow lessons? Or your doubles shot the bows?
random question, to honk the dixie horn on the General Lee was it actually on the center of the steering wheel (like a traditional horn) or was there a separate switch? And was it always the actual car we heard or was it added later in post production? Sorry if this has been asked before. Love the videos John! -Rob
I actually met James Best briefly in the summer of 88. It was at a local festival. I live down south so The Dukes of Hazzard was very popular. He was walking through the crowd and was absolutely mobbed. People would not leave him alone. I mean it was "ROSCOE" AND "YEEEEEE HAAAA" every turn that man made. He had bought a house on the lake but you never saw him in town and I can understand why.
If you read this I have a question for you. How have you handled the life of a celebrity? Being constantly approached and having no real privacy would have to get old. You seem to have done quite well with it and are down to earth. If you've already covered this my apologies but I just found your channel.
I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the good work :)
What I wouldn't give to go back to those days in Hazzard county, stroll into the Boars Nest and enjoy a cold beer.
I would love to drink a beer with the original Bo Duke john your awesome!!!!!!
wow im 51 and you are in way better shape than me.keep at it.
Hey John.. Just a dukes question. I know there were heaps of general lees used through out the show. How about boss hoggs caddy. How many were used and what were the specs of the car ?!
Who was your favorite or favorites people (bad grammar, but I don't want to change it in case someone laughs) to work or act with? I'm a teen and love the Dukes show, and this keeps running through my head.
Did you even have a favorite person, or was everyone equally pleasurable to work with?
do you still keep in contact with your Smallville co-stars?
I was in Tennessee this past October and picked up a few hundred dollars of merchandise from 2 of the cooter's locations, and one thing I bought was a general lee coozie that's now my favorite. 🍻🇺🇸❤
Great video,John,I love the Dukes and the General Lee
Looking good John! Just turned 60 myself! -Take care, & hugs :-)
Glad you had had real beer! Just curious, did the fact that you and Tom may have had to shoot the same seine multiple times factor into how much you guys would drink? I have always wondered how this plays into filming scenes on Dukes where you guys where eating? Especially when Boss was trying to eat an oversize sandwich! Did you guys eat just enough food during each take to make it appear as if you where eating a full meal?
Thanks for the info and inspiration!
On the Dukes whenever they showed a scene where you were driving the General Lee in the close up shots from the side window or through front windshield most of the times you can clearly tell the background moving was on a screen cause it didn't look as clear and defined as everything else. While that was happening and you were pretending to be driving were you really sitting still in a parked car while some people stood outside of the car out of sight pushing the General Lee from side to side to make it look like the car was moving somewhat lol ? You know what I mean ? In some driving shots you can tell they aren't really driving just cause the audio is so clear but at the same time you see the General Lee kinda moving up and down as if it were driving on a bumpy road or something. How'd they get the car to move while staying still ?
I’m curious, when filming the dukes of hazzard, we all know that a load of Dodge Charger general lees were trashed during filming but when you see John and Tom driving (live not projection) how many different generals were used for that? Or was there just one drivable hero car for these driving to and from shots?
This one is good I respect it I was born in the 70s grew up in the 80s watch The dukes of Hazzard and well you look good for your age I didn't think you were that much older than me I knew you were 18 when he started but I wish I grew up in the 70s instead it was born
Hey John , when did daisy stop driving the yellow car and go to the Jeep? And how many jeeps were used?
God dang it John you look great for 60yrs old! Wow, I’m 43 & am bald & grey lol, anyways big fan & cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I was a stand in for Cooper Andrews on the Walking Dead. #GoodTimes
Excellent! Good to know it’s not a lost art! Delighted to make your acquaintance.
@@JohnSchneiderStudios Thanks Man! We have met before but you meet. so many. When my character got killed on the show they asked me to stay.
The real boars was in Georgia. Was one recreated on the set? How did you do these shots?
John said in an earlier Q&A that after they filmed the first five episodes in Georgia and relocated to the Warner Bros Studios in California, people from WB took photos of the Boar's Nest from every angle and built as exact of a replica as they could.
The original BN in GA still stands today. At one point I believe it was a church, uncertain what it is now or if it’s vacant.
Dust Wilson Still a church
Have to stay fit and slim if the doors on your car are welded shut and you have to enter through the window.
Is it true that there is a unreleased dukes of Hazzard episode or part or a episode that was filmed in deer isle Maine or in Maine
Hey John,first off,love the show and movies, what is your most favorite memory of filming the show?
That awesome about the beer from shawn Overton.
Love the duke stories. New T-shirt...GOT BEER!
God bless you John I'm such a huge fan of yours and I just adore everyone in dukes
