What was it like being on the same night as Dallas? Great question and I hope you enjoy the answer. Keep these fantastic questions and this wonderful conversation going!
I was very young, maybe five years old, when that was going. My brother and I were more than a little scared of the Hulk, but we persevered to watch the fun-loving, car-jumping Dukes at nine o'clock. By the time Dallas came on at ten, it was time to go to bed, and Dallas was not of interest to little kids, anyway.
you're totally right... back when TV was actually GOOD, had good content, actors, writers, directors.... now it's all woke activists with NO talent and they wonder why we dont watch TV anymore..lol
Tigermantcb 1977 Same here! There was no Netflix, iTunes or Disney plus back in those days. I was lucky however. Why? Due to my strong interest in how movies were made, at times my Parents would let me stay up late for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson even on a school night if there was somebody special on I wanted to see. This was of coarse before we got our vcr so I could program & record the tonight show while I slept.
Love how John has these talks with us . Always glad to hear from you John I wish we could go back to 3 networks. Now we have hundreds of networks and not much on worth watching
Liked his feelings about parents today robbing their children of their innocence. Its true and why our current state of a broken country has begun. Kids grew into dark uncaring young adults fast.
In today's throw away society everything from appliances, cars and unborn children, America has withered away. I suspect the lucky people today were raised by parents and saw grandparent that lived through the depression. My Dad was the guy who would take hours to make a 1 dollar bracket instead of buying something. Morals and respect are few these days.
Children then knew exactly what a boy, a girl, a man and a women were. They weren't confused and there were no sickos trying to confuse them. Today many are confused because of the media and depressed because of it.
I was raised on the Dukes back in the day, and all of my daughters have been too. Love the cars, the characters and the action. You're so right, it was a great time to grow up!
When I was a little girl I had a big crush on you. Lol. So good to you see you and I really miss watching Dukes of Hazzard. Here in Paris Tx we have UNCLE Jesse's house and UNCLE Jesse's Bass tournament every year. I miss everybody on the show.
I was two years old when the Dukes of Hazzard premiered. My fondest memory is sitting on our couch and my dad sat with me, we would watch the show every Friday night. I always looked forward to Friday's nights and watching my favorite show. Interesting enough my dad had an old 68 Dodge Cornet, and I had blonde hair until I was 5. So, naturally I thought my dad's car was the General Lee. In fact, I would only got in the car through the windows. A few years ago I purchased all the DVD seasons and lately when I get sad missing my dad who passed away last year I put in the DVDs to watch the show. Mr. Schneider thank you and all the cast for being a part of my childhood. It was indeed a show for the family and I will always cherish it.
I love that young people are still watching this great show! I remember 13. In my mind tat is the age where your dreams, design and goals are strongest, most clear and attainable. Go for it Cool! Go for it Leo! Whatever "IT" is. The world is yours. Go grab it!
You too Voodoo. But by 48 life has usually tried to talk you out of your dream. Don't let it. If it has... get back in touch with your 13 year old self and GO FOR IT!
Friday night was AWESOME for my family! I watched Dukes, and my parents watched Dallas. Too bad the “Crossover” wasn’t a thing yet! Can you imagine Boss trying to cut a deal with JR Ewing, and the Dukes having to prevent something bad happening???
It's not just you. I still monitor what my kids watch. I remember that lineup. We would go to my grandparents almost every weekend. They lived way out in the country about an hour and a half away. We would get out of school on Friday, do our homework before our parents got home, pack (if we didn't the night before), and get there in time for supper, eat with all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. Then all 27 of us would gather in the living room and watch Dukes. We all would spend the whole weekend and go back home Sunday afternoon. Such great memories!
@@veronicageorge7820 You are welcome. We are still a close family, but the ones that are left don't get together every weekend anymore 🙁, but this brought back a great memory.
Beloved The same thing happened to my great grandparents family. They had 12 children. We all (children, grandchildren, greats, great greats- hundreds of us!) got together several times a year and had a family reunion each year on the first Sunday in June. Oh my goodness the food and fellowship! We can all still count on most in any circumstance. Now, there are only 5 children still living, but reunions stopped several years ago. It’s really sad. But my memories are great.
@@veronicageorge7820 Wow. Thanks for sharing. My grandparents had 6 kids (4 are still alive) and 13 grandkids. The rest of the 27 were spouses of the 6 kids. They lived on a farm kind of like the Dukes, so my grandpa taught us all how to take care of the animals. He mainly had horses, but he also had some pigs chickens, and occasionally a cow. My grandma taught us how to cook without relying too much on recipes. I have some uncles and cousins that always had guitars and even banjos. You talk about 1 country family! 😄 I wouldn't trade my childhood for the world though.
Yes, less fake news. But a lot less to watch and More Boring.. especially late night after the American Flag. There Was Nothing, just a buzzing noise.😅
@@fordsrule35 Yes, it's a sad state of affairs when there is literally nothing good on on 100 channels or more all at the same time.. and that happens often. Having said that, I remember a whole lot of 'Garbage' on when it was just the 3 networks.. So!
John, We need better moral foundations in this country, especially in your profession. Thank you for not letting them rob you of yours.. Role models are few and far between these days.
You’re still answering questions even when you’re out at the beach, you’re so nice to your fans! I think it’s just awesome and so are you! God bless and take care! 🙂
I must admit getting this off my chest, I have had a Crush On You John since I was a young girl watching you on TV, I thought you were amazing in every way then and Now.. Usually a Crush doesn't last forever but you have always been like a Love in my life.. You just get better with age I say the same thing about myself better with age LOL! 😊
John Love your little channel here. So here is my question to you , Do you still stay in touch with the former cast members. and if so could you mabe do a Dukes round table via CZcams. And if you like that I have an awesome Idea for you John thank you for keeping one of the greatest family shows alive.
I was 8 when Dukes started in ‘79. That show started a lifelong appreciation of badass cars and pretty girls. I married my own pretty girl 23 years ago, and finally bought my 2019 Dodge Challenger 2 weeks ago. I just bought Seasons 1-3 on DVD and I’ve enjoyed watching the show with my own boys now. Thank you sir for such an awesome show, and God bless you.
John's comment on innocence rings so true. I miss the family channel from back in the day as well. Funny story. When the Dukes Of Hazzard would go to commercial they always showed the General Lee jumping towards the screen and then freezing it while you heard a drummer hit the high hat. In my childhood mind the sound of that high hat was the push bar on the front of the General Lee touching the tv screen just ever so gently. Ha!
@john schneider I want to thank you for bringing back these memories for me. During the times The Dukes were on, my mother and father were going through their divorce. But he still came over to watch Dukes with me very week when a new episode aired. It was "our" time. God Bless you John, you made a difference in this littler person's life during a very difficult time.
John is a very polished speaker, even when he’s speaking extemporaneously. I enjoy listening to him. Yeah, the lineup was Incredible Hulk/Dukes/Dallas until 1982. When Hulk ended, the other shows slid forward an hour, with Falcon Crest at 10. After Dukes ended in 1985, I don’t think they ever found a lead-in for Dallas that worked as well. Dallas slid out of the top 10 by 1986.
@Jared Linden(open): I think also, by that time, NBC found a way to do damage on Friday Nights with *MIAMI VICE.* And, at the same time, ABC scrapped the "Friday Night Movie" and brought in *20/20* to the 10PM Eastern slot.
You’re so old-fashioned! My son could not miss the Dukes... I got into Dallas for a while. Then divorced & had to work a second job so that was that...Friday I went from day job to new job till 2am and Saturday night as well. Kid was happy cuz where he was getting babysat, they loved the Dukes, too! I wish they’d play re-runs here in Cleveland. I bet he’d watch it all over again! ✌️
"when there were three networks." I laughed at that because I lived in the sticks and we only got those three channels on our antenna. CBS, NBC, and ABC, and we only got ABC if the stars were aligned just right and you held your mouth a certain way. Thanks for this, Mr. Schneider! It's always a pleasure hearing you talk about Dukes.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Don't ever change John, I remember as a little kid watching the Duke boys and watching Smallville and just enjoying your characters in the show and watching your videos here has been a great change of pace with all that's happening. Thanks for being a good man and will do my best to do the same.
John, I remember all of that very well! Nothing said Friday night like the dukes of hazzard and Moms pizza when Dad got home from work. I was almost 7 and my brother was 9 when the show started and I've never outgrown it. Thanks for the awesome role model!! With role models like the Dukes of Hazzard and the Statler Brothers how could you go wrong. Thanks for the awesome childhood memories!! Yee ha!!
Love the Dukes of hazzard - huge part of my childhood. Here in the UK the Dukes is on every evening at 6pm. I’ve introduced my two year old daughter to it and she loves it - she gets very excited whenever the General Lee makes a jump! Thanks for being a part of my childhood and now my daughters childhood also 👍
You are so right about how back in the old days most parents didn’t let their kids watch any old thing whether it was appropriate for kids or not. I hate that a lot of parents do that now. I watched Dukes and my mom watched with me. I don’t think I watched it from the beginning and I didn’t see every episode because I was at my high school’s football game every Friday night that there was a home game. My mom and I watched Dallas too but not from the beginning. We started watching it when The Who Shot JR thing was going on. I was 14 and in high school. I never saw the later episodes either because I went to college and had better things to do than to watch TV. My parents are gone now. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
Yo John, Matt here. I hope you remember me from the Comic-Con in Raleigh 5 years ago. You are an awesome person and a cool dude and I love all 7 seasons of the Dukes of Hazzard TV series that I have on DVD and I am currently in the midway point of season 4 and love every bit of the craziness in the series. Here's my question to you: what was it like when you guys filmed the first few episodes of Dukes in Covington GA, and who made the decision for you guys to pack up and do the rest of the series in California for the rest of the series? Awesome stuff as always and you rock, brother. Hope to see you again soon. -Matt
We watched the Dukes every Friday. My dad bought us a glass-bottle Coke once per week, and it was to drink while watching the Dukes. Dallas always meant bedtime when I was a kid. That theme song still haunts me to this day!
Now I know why John Schneider is no longer on TV, He makes Waaaay to much rational sense, and Holly Wood can’t have that nowadays. We need more John Schneider’s in the world. js 🤷🏻♂️
Hes on Tyler Perry's Have and Have nots but he plays a mean part. He does a good job at it but nothing like Bo Duke. It comes on Own unless they dont renew it
These videos are great! Thanks for taking the time to share so many stories and insights in to classic television! I could listen to your tales for hours.
Man I got all the seasons on vhs still! Lol .. for a few autos also but not from u or tom but yea love ya guys .. keep it up and enjoy that nice weather!
How do we defend the confederate flag? I don’t see race or hate when I see the flag. I see southern pride.family. Friends. Good people. Dukes of hazard. Lynyrd skynyard. Symbols don’t hurt people people hurt people
Johnnybtv I believe in being proud of where you come from. I love people from the South, they have more manners than most people up North, and I’m from NY, the biggest congested cesspool of people in all of America!
@@Multi7477 It seems like you have a lot of hurt feelings. Do you need a safe space where you can hug the flags of traitors against America? Also, the phrase is "cake hole", not "pie hole".
@@Multi7477 It's not a question of affordability, it's just that cake is better than pie. There's no such thing a blowing out the candles on a birthday pie. Cake has frosting. If you put frosting on pie it looks weird.
Your a good man. Thank you for all the memories. My grandson is 5 and will be watching every episode of dukes. Thank you all , one of the best shows ever.
I wanted to say thank you for giving us kids something that lasted our whole lives. I actually got to see "A General Lee" at a convention once. It's always been a dream car because of the Dukes of Hazard.. I even had the Lunch Box. But really, I'm not here for me. B is for Build recently had their Eleanor mustang build, confiscated by the creators of Gone in 60 Seconds... And I just do not get it... With all the General Lees, with all the Knight Riders, and all the Back to the Futures... That if someone built a General Lee, and and Dukes of Hazard just "took it from them"... ? I understand you are not a lawyer, but I am wondering what YOUR thoughts are, as the General is one of the most desired movie cars ever produced. That perhaps, it might even be cool to see you reach out to Chris, who did work hard for this car... And shed some light on what happened... I couldn't tell you Hannibal Smiths real name, or who played the Hulk... But I will never forget John Schneider. I mean that. Friday Night, right after Hulk, 8pm, 9pm, I was home. 7pm... I was home... I was about 7 years old. It's funny how you can do something, and it stays with people for life.
#MalibuBeachRVPark been there! Oh, I'm in envy right now, I'll admit it. :) You are in a very special place right now both physically and Meta-Physically!! LOL My Dad worked for NBC Burbank & said o'l Carson was a real firecracker sure enough! Your account of this TV history you saw like I did, was cool to hear John. It's been quite the ride!
made in America since 1776, well the real in people left a long time ago. Obama gave us men in women locker room and bathroom. This country is going down the crapper. I’m glad I’m getting old so I don’t have to deal with youth of this country.
@@gunner2gunner you dealing with youth right now and I'm right with you. People are faker that a 3 dollar bill and politicians selling our country out and keeping black citizens down so they don't lose a voting base then use threats of being called racist for anyone who dares bring it up. We finally kicked the sin of racism out then politicians brought it back to keep the people divided. That's why they kneel for the flag now. To further divide us. We need to be all united or we will die under communism
made in America since 1776 just had to deal with a 26 year and she thinks I work for her. Having 30 plus years on her, I had to tell her that I’m the customer and without customers she doesn’t have a job, so basically she works for me and all the other customers. She thought because she’s the manager, she rules. Had to set her straight on that. I so dislike youths who think they know it all.
You are an amazing person ❤️. They want to erase our "GOOD HOME VALUE SHOWS" ...I won't ever forget the show. Still watch it today as well as my kids. We love you. We thank you for all that you have done and are doing. Love the time you take for us. 🤠❤️
Go to Americanpolicy.org and sign letter to stop HR6666 liberal governors already hiring trackers they will come to our homes test us anyone with covid they will take you away.
I grew up watching The Dukes of Hazzard and we used to play a version at recess on the playground, lol (I’m almost 50 😳). All the girls wanted to be Daisy, but I was always to be Bo Duke! Love you John! So glad you have this channel. Can’t wait to binge watch all your past videos. ❤️❤️❤️
John, thanks so much for your content and taking us back down memory lane!! Three network channels and programming back then still has today’s “wide variety” beat in my humble opinion.
love these videos! its a lot of fun having you connect. to the people who grew up watching you be a role model to your entire generation and their kids!
Thanks John…Happy times & good memories for many . I was one of the 28 million watching my favorite good ole’ boys on Friday nights . Still luv ya JS. & TW.
The dukes are on in England every night 6PM fantastic it's so cool to be able to rewatch it's one of the reasons I like banjo and blue grass so thank you john x We are on season 3 ep 3 of 23
John, thank you for all the entertainment you gave us. There has been nothing on TV in such a long time which you genuinely look forward to sitting down and watching with the whole family (because it’s suitable for all ages) and leaves you feeling so good after you’ve watched it. I hope it’s not lost on you the, the affect you and all the other people involved in Dukes had on people’s lives all around the world (somehow, I’m pretty confident with you that it won’t be!) #01
Love The Dukes of Hazzard!! Grew up on it!! Good times! Loved the 3 channels back then and now its crazy to be able to look up anything and watch it.... Pacific Beach ......mmmmm.....we are in San Diego and went to Mission Beach yesterday.....beautiful to see again! Love all you do John!! Looking forward to next month too.... Stay safe!! 💜Pinky💜
Hey John, I am still watching "THE DUKES" on you tube, and, here in the UK, we have a network called, "FORCES TV" doing re-runs. I am a retired vet, The Royal Navy, and a retired copper in The Met. Police, Scotland Yard area, I almost died making an arrest, I had a rupture, I lost so much blood. My life story is is so long. I was a multi-instrumentalist in the navy band, this is why I am in contact with, and watch the United States Navy Band.....FANTASTIC!! I recorded over 8 albums, and 3 double albums, my radio show had...OVER...FIFTEEN MILLION...PROVEN LISTENERS. I had superstars doing "Phone In's" I will not bore you anymore with my story......Just want to thank you all for MY FAVE. TV SHOW!
I was 7/8 years old and I would get all excited to watch the General Lee jump. That's what little boys loved seeing in 1978. I would always fall asleep 15 min into the show. And it was not until 6 years later did I start to appreciate the "Daisy Duke' shorts.
I remember as a kid watching my favorite show, “Dukes,” and then my parents would let me watch the theme song to Dallas (because that intro was awesome), and then it was time for me to go to bed because I couldn’t watch Dallas. The way you just explained it was exactly how it was for my family. I was born in 1977. Thanks for the memories!
John you’re so awesome thank you for your narrative and thank you for your history lesson and thank you for being who you are, you’re a wonderful person and your wisdom and understanding is blessed🙏🏻 I too wish we could go back to rotary telephones and three network programming and just live in a little bit of old school and you’re right! You did have the best lineup, never missed a gig...🙏🏻👍
My brother, dad and I never missed the Dukes. I was a kid and only having 3 channels was great! It was a great time then, the best!! I never miss Have and Have Nots with you as Jim either. You are just a great talent to watch.
Thank you again for your hospitality and bringing us into your inner circle of friendship with fans of The dukes of Hazzard. Love that show growing up as a 5 year old boy in love with the whole cast of the show did an outstanding amazing tremendous super duper out-of-this-world entertaining stravaganzathat left us all dukes fans waiting for the following week to see what other kind of crazy man can happen in the town of Hazzard county and defending the people like to modern-day Robin hoods 👍. I asked a question on one of your other videos from 4 months ago I just posted it now but I figured I catch you on here since it's the newest but I wanted to know is. Did you or any of the other cast members get any training shooting with a real compound bow with a stick of dynamite on the end of the arrow ? God bless you and your family and all your friends. Stay safe my friend enjoy the wonderful Pacific ocean, and I also made a comment about your great-great one-of-a-kind no one else could do it better than playing the character of Jonathan Kent on Smallville. You totally knocked it out of the park 🤠.
John, you are so wise...love watching your videos!!!! I loved only having 3 networks! It meant you had to make a top quality show in order to be on!! and let me repeat what someone else said.. Thank you for the level of access, contact and content you let your fans have. You are amazing!
It was Falcon crest at10 pm after Dallas in Toronto.... Dukes of Hazzard was the only TV we looked forward to every week ! It was an amazing time in life and you guys rocked!!! Thank you for the awesome entertainment
The people that missed the 70's, it was an awesome time. I was the remote lol and rabbit ear's on at 5, off at 11, Dukes of Hazzard was a favorite, and then, the infamous Dallas, I am from Maine, the show brought me to Texas, lol, crazy!!! Thank you for sharing this 💜
Thankyou for the talks John. Brings back great memories. Remember on the tapes where you all did a voice over and explained how it was shot, my son studied all of it. Lol a real great program to share.
I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember. Anyone that knows me very well knows that I’m a big fan of the Dukes. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you several times. Once as a kid in 1987 when you came to our county fair in Jonesboro Arkansas and a few times as an adult at Dukesfest 05 and 06 and when you were at Dukes days in Little Rock Arkansas. I think it’s great that you are answering questions for the fans. As I’m sure you know It’s kinda difficult to to ask you a lot questions when we meet you briefly at different events. Anyway. Thank you for being a big part of my childhood hood and entertaining me and my family for 40 plus years now. I’ll quit rambling and get to the questions now. I’ve always wondered what brand of boots you and Tom wore on the show? What kind of bows y’all were shooting? Who was the better shot? What brand of pocket knives did you and Tom carry on the show and were they real? Were you able to keep anything from the show when it was over? Props or your Bo Duke wardrobe? Do you know if the other cast members got to keep anything and what it was? Did you and Tom always climb through the windows of the General when the cameras weren’t rolling? Do you remember the first time someone recognized you as Bo Duke? What kind of cigars Boss Hogg smoked? I’ll stop there. I’m sure I can come up with tons of other questions. Again thank you for all the years of entertainment and for taking time for us fans.
I remember one Friday night, an episode of, "Wonder Woman," starring Lynda Carter aired before, "The Dukes of Hazzard." CBS announced it was a special night for the former.
That was the highlight of my Friday night. I would spend the night at my grandparents and watch both shows before falling asleep as they watched falcon crest.
Its amazing the love people still have for the Dukes of hazzard. I was hooked from the very first time I saw it at 6 years old. Still a huge fan of it today. Best TV show ever. 😊
I just subbed 2 days ago. Who knew?! This is now in my top 5 favorite channels. Guy is a regular dude. I gotta get through some of his previous shows yet but I’m loving it!
It's amazing how great a memory some folks have. I can't remember any of what was showing on any time slot especially that long ago - what came on before or after Dukes of Hazzard or other networks shows that run parallel to Dukes of Hazzard. I agree! 3 networks made life so much simpler (easier).
I agree with you so much on innocence lost. The TV and Music today is so bad. I was born in the 60s so I grew up listening to my moms and siblings generation of music and TV as well as my own. The TV and Music of 50s 60s 70s and beginning of the 80s was so wonderful. I brought my own 6 children up with the same music and TV. Things had heart in them and really had meaning behind them! When a song comes on that takes you back to the first time you heard it and you feel that same emotion as in the past that my friend is heart and soul. Same with TV I remember when I would have tears or the biggest smile on my face. Absolutely nothing today compares in TV or radio as those wonderful yrs. TV had a moral behind the show with down to earth fun and reality mixed together. I really miss those years. They were great and innocence was kept. God bless John
I remember Friday night. It was Falcon Crest. Knots Landing was on Thursday night. I remember whenever a big movie would come on like Superman. It wasn't like today. It was an event. Those were the days my friend! I was 30 years old when Smallville first came out. John, I have recently been rewatching and I just got to season 4. As much as I love Dukes, you were great on Smallville. The chemistry between you, Tom, and Annette was amazing. Love you bro!
John, really enjoy the videos you do. Thanks for keeping in touch with your fans/friends and just being your everyday self. Also admire you for the wholesome values you talk about! Loved your work in Dukes and Smallville (not sure where to find Haves and Have Nots?) Friday night was a great night for TV back then. In Canada it was picked up by one of the networks CTV or ITV. I was in high school at the time and since my last name is Duker i was always "Duke" for short so great name lol. I remember one time after watching The Dukes getting a ticket for going a bit too fast to a friend's place. My own "Roscoe" that night. Anyway just wanted to say hello and say thanks!!!
What a great analogy John... Love your conservative values! I was 8 in January of '79 and watched The Dukes Of Hazzard religiously as did all my buddies in school. Thank You for adding to my great childhood!
John, you and Tom were responsible for me eating all the veggies at dinner. If I didnt finish I couldn't watch the duke boys. I remember sitting in my pjs watching that tv and listening more intensely then I ever did at school. You my friend couldn't have said anything more true with the innocence statement. I agree with you 100%. God bless you, your family, the rest of the cast that are still with us and those that are not. Your show was part of a fantastic childhood.
Dukes of Hazzard was first to watch didnt want to miss it. I videotaped Dallas and watched it when the kids were inbed. I ordered the Duke of Hazzard my son wanted it hes 43 yrs old now. But l told him he has to share when l want to watch it. Love your country songs too Thx! 🚘🚘🚘🚘❤❤❤
I still remember when I was 8 or 9 yrs old my Dad said come on were going to watch this new show called The Dukes of Hazzard! I believe it on a Friday night and after the first episode I couldn't wait till the next! Forward to today and still the best show of all time! They may take the dukes off tv but they can't take it from me because I have the total 7 seasons on dvd! Tks John we love ya!
Best night of TV ever was Incredible Hulk, Dukes and Dallas! Friday night CBS.
I miss those days.
Yes sir! Wednesdays Hart 2 Hart
I was very young, maybe five years old, when that was going. My brother and I were more than a little scared of the Hulk, but we persevered to watch the fun-loving, car-jumping Dukes at nine o'clock. By the time Dallas came on at ten, it was time to go to bed, and Dallas was not of interest to little kids, anyway.
you're totally right... back when TV was actually GOOD, had good content, actors, writers, directors.... now it's all woke activists with NO talent and they wonder why we dont watch TV anymore..lol
So true
TV in those days was top quality, these days it isn't even worth bothering switching on the TV on a Friday night.
That's for dam sure
BOY I MISS THE 80S. I COULD STILL WATCH 80S SHOWS NOW BUT THEY DON'T INTEREST ME NEARLY AS MUCH AS THEY DID THEN.
I haven't watched tv for like 6 months or so my family somehow has slowly morphed into watching our phones while the TVs r gathering dust
@Rickey Holliday I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH BETTER LIFE WAS BACK THEN UNTIL I ENTERED THE 90S AND 00S. BOY HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED FOR THE WORST.
I cut the cable tv off. pure streaming.
Mr. Schneider just summed up my family Friday night back then.
Mine too
Tigermantcb 1977 Same here! There was no Netflix, iTunes or Disney plus back in those days. I was lucky however. Why? Due to my strong interest in how movies were made, at times my Parents would let me stay up late for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson even on a school night if there was somebody special on I wanted to see. This was of coarse before we got our vcr so I could program & record the tonight show while I slept.
Love how John has these talks with us . Always glad to hear from you John
I wish we could go back to 3 networks. Now we have hundreds of networks and not much on worth watching
So true I think it is like anything else, when quantity increases quality decreases
Liked his feelings about parents today robbing their children of their innocence. Its true and why our current state of a broken country has begun. Kids grew into dark uncaring young adults fast.
In today's throw away society everything from appliances, cars and unborn children, America has withered away. I suspect the lucky people today were raised by parents and saw grandparent that lived through the depression. My Dad was the guy who would take hours to make a 1 dollar bracket instead of buying something. Morals and respect are few these days.
Totally agree!
I think mankind has lost it's innocence
@@steely_mike add to that I feel everyday based on the current societal breakdown as if we are living in an episode of the Twilight Zone.
Children then knew exactly what a boy, a girl, a man and a women were. They weren't confused and there were no sickos trying to confuse them. Today many are confused because of the media and depressed because of it.
I was raised on the Dukes back in the day, and all of my daughters have been too. Love the cars, the characters and the action. You're so right, it was a great time to grow up!
😊👌🏻
John, thank you for the level of access, contact and content you let your fans have. You are amazing!
Both my husband and I loved the duke’s of hazard ♥️
When I was a little girl I had a big crush on you. Lol. So good to you see you and I really miss watching Dukes of Hazzard. Here in Paris Tx we have UNCLE Jesse's house and UNCLE Jesse's Bass tournament every year. I miss everybody on the show.
When I was a small boy I had a crush on his car to !!! Ha ha ! Skål 🍺🍺🍺
@@VikingVanMan Yes me too for sure
@@walksalone5839 skål 🍺🍺🍺
I still have a big crush on him! LOL love you and your old fashioned outlook! We need that back.
@Angela G sometimes he does
I was two years old when the Dukes of Hazzard premiered. My fondest memory is sitting on our couch and my dad sat with me, we would watch the show every Friday night.
I always looked forward to Friday's nights and watching my favorite show. Interesting enough my dad had an old 68 Dodge Cornet, and I had blonde hair until I was 5. So, naturally I thought my dad's car was the General Lee. In fact, I would only got in the car through the windows.
A few years ago I purchased all the DVD seasons and lately when I get sad missing my dad who passed away last year I put in the DVDs to watch the show.
Mr. Schneider thank you and all the cast for being a part of my childhood. It was indeed a show for the family and I will always cherish it.
That's a great story. That show meant a lot to my childhood.my memories of home or tied up in that in fact all three of those shows.
Alex McKeel
Thanks for sharing those memories! I’m so sorry about your dad. I’m praying for you to have more sweet memories of him.
@@veronicageorge7820 thank you
I’m 13 and I watch the TV show dukes of Hazzard and my dream car is the general lee
Im 13 aswell
I love that young people are still watching this great show! I remember 13. In my mind tat is the age where your dreams, design and goals are strongest, most clear and attainable. Go for it Cool! Go for it Leo! Whatever "IT" is. The world is yours. Go grab it!
You too Voodoo. But by 48 life has usually tried to talk you out of your dream. Don't let it. If it has... get back in touch with your 13 year old self and GO FOR IT!
@@JohnSchneiderStudios john inspiration always helps by the way can you still do the bo duke laugh
@@JohnSchneiderStudios john ive meassged you on facebook messaenger
Friday night was AWESOME for my family! I watched Dukes, and my parents watched Dallas. Too bad the “Crossover” wasn’t a thing yet! Can you imagine Boss trying to cut a deal with JR Ewing, and the Dukes having to prevent something bad happening???
That would be really cool 😀
Imagine The Hulk running wild in Hazzard County
Russell J.S. Oooo, that would be a good one! 😀
Russell J.S. I can just see the Hulk smashing Roscoe’s patrol car and running away, and then the Dukes hide him on their farm.
It's not just you. I still monitor what my kids watch.
I remember that lineup. We would go to my grandparents almost every weekend. They lived way out in the country about an hour and a half away. We would get out of school on Friday, do our homework before our parents got home, pack (if we didn't the night before), and get there in time for supper, eat with all the aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. Then all 27 of us would gather in the living room and watch Dukes. We all would spend the whole weekend and go back home Sunday afternoon. Such great memories!
Beloved
That sounds great! Thanks for sharing
@@veronicageorge7820 You are welcome. We are still a close family, but the ones that are left don't get together every weekend anymore 🙁, but this brought back a great memory.
Beloved
The same thing happened to my great grandparents family. They had 12 children. We all (children, grandchildren, greats, great greats- hundreds of us!) got together several times a year and had a family reunion each year on the first Sunday in June. Oh my goodness the food and fellowship! We can all still count on most in any circumstance. Now, there are only 5 children still living, but reunions stopped several years ago. It’s really sad. But my memories are great.
@@veronicageorge7820 Wow. Thanks for sharing. My grandparents had 6 kids (4 are still alive) and 13 grandkids. The rest of the 27 were spouses of the 6 kids. They lived on a farm kind of like the Dukes, so my grandpa taught us all how to take care of the animals. He mainly had horses, but he also had some pigs chickens, and occasionally a cow. My grandma taught us how to cook without relying too much on recipes. I have some uncles and cousins that always had guitars and even banjos. You talk about 1 country family! 😄 I wouldn't trade my childhood for the world though.
Beloved
We sure were blessed! ❤️
I loved it when there were three networks to there was a lot less fake news !!! Skål 🍺🍺🍺
Yes, less fake news. But a lot less to watch and More Boring.. especially late night after the American Flag. There Was Nothing, just a buzzing noise.😅
I agree Viking Van Man. Skål
I used to pick up a Canadian channel also..since i grew up on the border
@@bonanzatime Disagree. Most of what's on today is garbage and not worth watching. So you have more yet you have less🤷🏻♂️
@@fordsrule35 Yes, it's a sad state of affairs when there is literally nothing good on on 100 channels or more all at the same time.. and that happens often. Having said that, I remember a whole lot of 'Garbage' on when it was just the 3 networks.. So!
John, We need better moral foundations in this country, especially in your profession. Thank you for not letting them rob you of yours.. Role models are few and far between these days.
I love Dukes of hazzard and love movies dukes of hazzard I love you John Schneider as a fan I love all your songs
He is truly a good man with his head screwed on straight which is more than I can say about the rest of Hollywood
Yes you have the order correct. Dukes at 8, Dallas at 9 and Falcon Crest at 10. Knots Landing was Thursday night. My time zone is Eastern.
7, 8 &9 central
I loved Thursday nights! Magnum, Simon & Simon and then Knots Landing. That was my favorite night.
@@luv3daysgrace1, WOW good call! I remember that too!
Back in them days they use to say " Tonight at 8. 7 Central and Mountain. "
@@philipmclaughlin9636 If you watched it on CBC(I live close to Canada myself), they'd say, "Starting at 9:30 tonight in Newfoundland."
You’re still answering questions even when you’re out at the beach, you’re so nice to your fans! I think it’s just awesome and so are you! God bless and take care! 🙂
HE'S REALLY AUTHENTIC AND REAL. NOTHING LIKE THE TV STARS OF TODAY!
Melissa Native He really seems genuine! Rare in Hollywood today.
I must admit getting this off my chest,
I have had a Crush On You John since I was a young girl watching you on TV,
I thought you were amazing in every way then and Now..
Usually a Crush doesn't last forever but you have always been like a Love in my life..
You just get better with age I say the same thing about myself better with age LOL! 😊
Watch him on Hulu The Haves and Have nots. Top of his game.
It was a solid Friday night lineup, that’s for darn sure.
Hey John I remember when I was around when they did three episodes like that it was great thanks John 😁👍
@VOODOO MOJO and thank you for sharing all so my friend peace
😁👍
John Love your little channel here. So here is my question to you , Do you still stay in touch with the former cast members. and if so could you mabe do a Dukes round table via CZcams. And if you like that I have an awesome Idea for you John thank you for keeping one of the greatest family shows alive.
I was 8 when Dukes started in ‘79. That show started a lifelong appreciation of badass cars and pretty girls. I married my own pretty girl 23 years ago, and finally bought my 2019 Dodge Challenger 2 weeks ago. I just bought Seasons 1-3 on DVD and I’ve enjoyed watching the show with my own boys now. Thank you sir for such an awesome show, and God bless you.
i was 11 in ‘79 . wasn’t life awesome back then.
@@nextellcup8 sure was !
I miss it...
It’s unfortunate that the show is so vilified now by people who have obviously never watched it.
You sure know lots of neat stuff from being in the business of television, thank you kindly for sharing.
Mike
John's comment on innocence rings so true.
I miss the family channel from back in the day as well.
Funny story. When the Dukes Of Hazzard would go to commercial they always showed the General Lee jumping towards the screen and then freezing it while you heard a drummer hit the high hat. In my childhood mind the sound of that high hat was the push bar on the front of the General Lee touching the tv screen just ever so gently. Ha!
@john schneider I want to thank you for bringing back these memories for me. During the times The Dukes were on, my mother and father were going through their divorce. But he still came over to watch Dukes with me very week when a new episode aired. It was "our" time. God Bless you John, you made a difference in this littler person's life during a very difficult time.
Loved Dukes!! Great wholesome show! Those were the “good old days” for sure!
John is a very polished speaker, even when he’s speaking extemporaneously. I enjoy listening to him.
Yeah, the lineup was Incredible Hulk/Dukes/Dallas until 1982. When Hulk ended, the other shows slid forward an hour, with Falcon Crest at 10. After Dukes ended in 1985, I don’t think they ever found a lead-in for Dallas that worked as well. Dallas slid out of the top 10 by 1986.
@Jared Linden(open): I think also, by that time, NBC found a way to do damage on Friday Nights with *MIAMI VICE.* And, at the same time, ABC scrapped the "Friday Night Movie" and brought in *20/20* to the 10PM Eastern slot.
You’re so old-fashioned! My son could not miss the Dukes... I got into Dallas for a while. Then divorced & had to work a second job so that was that...Friday I went from day job to new job till 2am and Saturday night as well. Kid was happy cuz where he was getting babysat, they loved the Dukes, too! I wish they’d play re-runs here in Cleveland. I bet he’d watch it all over again! ✌️
The show can be found on Roku. I can't remember how much the episodes cost though.
Yep, John it was Falcon Crest on at 10! At least from 1982-1985 when I watched when I was 5,6,7 and 8 years old!
"when there were three networks." I laughed at that because I lived in the sticks and we only got those three channels on our antenna. CBS, NBC, and ABC, and we only got ABC if the stars were aligned just right and you held your mouth a certain way. Thanks for this, Mr. Schneider! It's always a pleasure hearing you talk about Dukes.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.
Don't ever change John, I remember as a little kid watching the Duke boys and watching Smallville and just enjoying your characters in the show and watching your videos here has been a great change of pace with all that's happening.
Thanks for being a good man and will do my best to do the same.
John, I remember all of that very well! Nothing said Friday night like the dukes of hazzard and Moms pizza when Dad got home from work. I was almost 7 and my brother was 9 when the show started and I've never outgrown it. Thanks for the awesome role model!! With role models like the Dukes of Hazzard and the Statler Brothers how could you go wrong. Thanks for the awesome childhood memories!! Yee ha!!
Love the Dukes of hazzard - huge part of my childhood. Here in the UK the Dukes is on every evening at 6pm. I’ve introduced my two year old daughter to it and she loves it - she gets very excited whenever the General Lee makes a jump! Thanks for being a part of my childhood and now my daughters childhood also 👍
Sharon Snowdon yes that’s right, when I was a child Saturday tea time was Dukes time in my house!
You are so right about how back in the old days most parents didn’t let their kids watch any old thing whether it was appropriate for kids or not. I hate that a lot of parents do that now.
I watched Dukes and my mom watched with me. I don’t think I watched it from the beginning and I didn’t see every episode because I was at my high school’s football game every Friday night that there was a home game.
My mom and I watched Dallas too but not from the beginning. We started watching it when The Who Shot JR thing was going on. I was 14 and in high school. I never saw the later episodes either because I went to college and had better things to do than to watch TV.
My parents are gone now. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
Yo John, Matt here. I hope you remember me from the Comic-Con in Raleigh 5 years ago. You are an awesome person and a cool dude and I love all 7 seasons of the Dukes of Hazzard TV series that I have on DVD and I am currently in the midway point of season 4 and love every bit of the craziness in the series. Here's my question to you: what was it like when you guys filmed the first few episodes of Dukes in Covington GA, and who made the decision for you guys to pack up and do the rest of the series in California for the rest of the series? Awesome stuff as always and you rock, brother. Hope to see you again soon.
-Matt
We watched the Dukes every Friday. My dad bought us a glass-bottle Coke once per week, and it was to drink while watching the Dukes. Dallas always meant bedtime when I was a kid. That theme song still haunts me to this day!
Now I know why John Schneider is no longer on TV, He makes Waaaay to much rational sense, and Holly Wood can’t have that nowadays. We need more John Schneider’s in the world. js 🤷🏻♂️
johnny30806 Hollywood, the extreme left wing land of directors and producers who are devoid of morals.wants to the younger generation
Hes on Tyler Perry's Have and Have nots but he plays a mean part. He does a good job at it but nothing like Bo Duke. It comes on Own unless they dont renew it
These videos are great! Thanks for taking the time to share so many stories and insights in to classic television! I could listen to your tales for hours.
Man I got all the seasons on vhs still! Lol .. for a few autos also but not from u or tom but yea love ya guys .. keep it up and enjoy that nice weather!
I was a sophomore in 78-79 school year and I don’t think I ever missed a episode on Friday night. I enjoy your channel, John. Thanks.
How do we defend the confederate flag? I don’t see race or hate when I see the flag. I see southern pride.family. Friends. Good people. Dukes of hazard. Lynyrd skynyard. Symbols don’t hurt people people hurt people
Johnnybtv I believe in being proud of where you come from. I love people from the South, they have more manners than most people up North, and I’m from NY, the biggest congested cesspool of people in all of America!
So does the flag of traitors and losers. It offends a whole race of people, so there is that.
@@Multi7477 J SMARTIN states a fact. You reply with denigration and anger. Do you see a pattern?
@@Multi7477 It seems like you have a lot of hurt feelings. Do you need a safe space where you can hug the flags of traitors against America? Also, the phrase is "cake hole", not "pie hole".
@@Multi7477 It's not a question of affordability, it's just that cake is better than pie. There's no such thing a blowing out the candles on a birthday pie. Cake has frosting. If you put frosting on pie it looks weird.
Thank you John, you are the sane voice of reason in these terrible times.
I wish I could go back in time when the world was not in such turmoil.
Yea I would give anything to go back to three networks! Ever sense cable and internet went into effect the planet went down hill ✌ brother stay safe
Your a good man. Thank you for all the memories. My grandson is 5 and will be watching every episode of dukes. Thank you all , one of the best shows ever.
I wanted to say thank you for giving us kids something that lasted our whole lives. I actually got to see "A General Lee" at a convention once. It's always been a dream car because of the Dukes of Hazard.. I even had the Lunch Box. But really, I'm not here for me. B is for Build recently had their Eleanor mustang build, confiscated by the creators of Gone in 60 Seconds... And I just do not get it... With all the General Lees, with all the Knight Riders, and all the Back to the Futures... That if someone built a General Lee, and and Dukes of Hazard just "took it from them"... ? I understand you are not a lawyer, but I am wondering what YOUR thoughts are, as the General is one of the most desired movie cars ever produced. That perhaps, it might even be cool to see you reach out to Chris, who did work hard for this car... And shed some light on what happened... I couldn't tell you Hannibal Smiths real name, or who played the Hulk... But I will never forget John Schneider. I mean that. Friday Night, right after Hulk, 8pm, 9pm, I was home. 7pm... I was home... I was about 7 years old. It's funny how you can do something, and it stays with people for life.
#MalibuBeachRVPark been there! Oh, I'm in envy right now, I'll admit it. :) You are in a very special place right now both physically and Meta-Physically!! LOL My Dad worked for NBC Burbank & said o'l Carson was a real firecracker sure enough! Your account of this TV history you saw like I did, was cool to hear John. It's been quite the ride!

We finally kicked the sin of racism out then politicians brought it back to keep the people divided. That's why they kneel for the flag now. To further divide us.

John, thanks so much for your content and taking us back down memory lane!! Three network channels and programming back then still has today’s “wide variety” beat in my humble opinion.
Yep, that's what I remember. We would watch you guys with our boys then send them to bed and watch Dallas. Awesome memories! Thanks for sharing!!!
love these videos! its a lot of fun having you connect. to the people who grew up watching you be a role model to your entire generation and their kids!
I love reminiscing with you John! Thanks for all the awesome memories!♥️
Thanks John…Happy times & good memories for many . I was one of the 28 million watching my favorite good ole’ boys on Friday nights . Still luv ya JS. & TW.
The dukes are on in England every night 6PM fantastic it's so cool to be able to rewatch it's one of the reasons I like banjo and blue grass so thank you john x
We are on season 3 ep 3 of 23
@GORF 906 it's great coz not many places are showing it anymore its a harmless fun tv show
John, thank you for this channel. I hope you keep it up. I grew up with this line up and loved it.
John, thank you for all the entertainment you gave us. There has been nothing on TV in such a long time which you genuinely look forward to sitting down and watching with the whole family (because it’s suitable for all ages) and leaves you feeling so good after you’ve watched it. I hope it’s not lost on you the, the affect you and all the other people involved in Dukes had on people’s lives all around the world (somehow, I’m pretty confident with you that it won’t be!) #01
Love The Dukes of Hazzard!!
Grew up on it!! Good times!
Loved the 3 channels back then and now its crazy to be able to look up anything and watch it....
Pacific Beach ......mmmmm.....we are in San Diego and went to Mission Beach yesterday.....beautiful to see again!
Love all you do John!!
Looking forward to next month too....
Stay safe!!

Hey John, I am still watching "THE DUKES" on you tube, and, here in the UK, we have a network called, "FORCES TV" doing re-runs. I am a retired vet, The Royal Navy, and a retired copper in The Met. Police, Scotland Yard area, I almost died making an arrest, I had a rupture, I lost so much blood. My life story is is so long. I was a multi-instrumentalist in the navy band, this is why I am in contact with, and watch the United States Navy Band.....FANTASTIC!! I recorded over 8 albums, and 3 double albums, my radio show had...OVER...FIFTEEN MILLION...PROVEN LISTENERS. I had superstars doing "Phone In's" I will not bore you anymore with my story......Just want to thank you all for MY FAVE. TV SHOW!
I was 7/8 years old and I would get all excited to watch the General Lee jump. That's what little boys loved seeing in 1978. I would always fall asleep 15 min into the show. And it was not until 6 years later did I start to appreciate the "Daisy Duke' shorts.
VERY informative! Thank you for educating me. I miss the show, those were the good old days of TV for me.
I remember as a kid watching my favorite show, “Dukes,” and then my parents would let me watch the theme song to Dallas (because that intro was awesome), and then it was time for me to go to bed because I couldn’t watch Dallas. The way you just explained it was exactly how it was for my family. I was born in 1977. Thanks for the memories!
John you’re so awesome thank you for your narrative and thank you for your history lesson and thank you for being who you are, you’re a wonderful person and your wisdom and understanding is blessed🙏🏻
I too wish we could go back to rotary telephones and three network programming and just live in a little bit of old school and you’re right! You did have the best lineup, never missed a gig...🙏🏻👍
My brother, dad and I never missed the Dukes. I was a kid and only having 3 channels was great! It was a great time then, the best!! I never miss Have and Have Nots with you as Jim either. You are just a great talent to watch.
Thanks for the explanation John! The Duke’s was an essential part of my childhood. Thank y’all for being a part of it!
Thank you again for your hospitality and bringing us into your inner circle of friendship with fans of The dukes of Hazzard. Love that show growing up as a 5 year old boy in love with the whole cast of the show did an outstanding amazing tremendous super duper out-of-this-world entertaining stravaganzathat left us all dukes fans waiting for the following week to see what other kind of crazy man can happen in the town of Hazzard county and defending the people like to modern-day Robin hoods 👍. I asked a question on one of your other videos from 4 months ago I just posted it now but I figured I catch you on here since it's the newest but I wanted to know is. Did you or any of the other cast members get any training shooting with a real compound bow with a stick of dynamite on the end of the arrow ? God bless you and your family and all your friends. Stay safe my friend enjoy the wonderful Pacific ocean, and I also made a comment about your great-great one-of-a-kind no one else could do it better than playing the character of Jonathan Kent on Smallville. You totally knocked it out of the park 🤠.
Hi John, I have been watching the duke of hazzard since 1979. For me it has been life teaching to be honest in life. You John are a good person.
John, you are so wise...love watching your videos!!!! I loved only having 3 networks! It meant you had to make a top quality show in order to be on!! and let me repeat what someone else said.. Thank you for the level of access, contact and content you let your fans have. You are amazing!
It was Falcon crest at10 pm after Dallas in Toronto.... Dukes of Hazzard was the only TV we looked forward to every week ! It was an amazing time in life and you guys rocked!!! Thank you for the awesome entertainment
The people that missed the 70's, it was an awesome time. I was the remote lol and rabbit ear's on at 5, off at 11, Dukes of Hazzard was a favorite, and then, the infamous Dallas, I am from Maine, the show brought me to Texas, lol, crazy!!! Thank you for sharing this 💜
Thanks for sharing John. Hope you enjoyed the outdoors. It's good to get out after everything that has been going on.
Thankyou for the talks John. Brings back great memories. Remember on the tapes where you all did a voice over and explained how it was shot, my son studied all of it. Lol a real great program to share.
I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember. Anyone that knows me very well knows that I’m a big fan of the Dukes. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you several times. Once as a kid in 1987 when you came to our county fair in Jonesboro Arkansas and a few times as an adult at Dukesfest 05 and 06 and when you were at Dukes days in Little Rock Arkansas. I think it’s great that you are answering questions for the fans. As I’m sure you know It’s kinda difficult to to ask you a lot questions when we meet you briefly at different events. Anyway. Thank you for being a big part of my childhood hood and entertaining me and my family for 40 plus years now. I’ll quit rambling and get to the questions now. I’ve always wondered what brand of boots you and Tom wore on the show? What kind of bows y’all were shooting? Who was the better shot? What brand of pocket knives did you and Tom carry on the show and were they real? Were you able to keep anything from the show when it was over? Props or your Bo Duke wardrobe? Do you know if the other cast members got to keep anything and what it was? Did you and Tom always climb through the windows of the General when the cameras weren’t rolling? Do you remember the first time someone recognized you as Bo Duke? What kind of cigars Boss Hogg smoked? I’ll stop there. I’m sure I can come up with tons of other questions. Again thank you for all the years of entertainment and for taking time for us fans.
Wise words John, and thanks for taking me back to my youth!
We need to bring some of the old shows back so we can have a good laugh
I remember one Friday night, an episode of, "Wonder Woman," starring Lynda Carter aired before, "The Dukes of Hazzard." CBS announced it was a special night for the former.
I love the history lessons!! Keep them coming!!💜💚💙
That was the highlight of my Friday night. I would spend the night at my grandparents and watch both shows before falling asleep as they watched falcon crest.
You have always had my respect, but you have risen even higher. You’re such a wonderful person.
Its amazing the love people still have for the Dukes of hazzard.
I was hooked from the very first time I saw it at 6 years old.
Still a huge fan of it today.
Best TV show ever.
😊
Thanks John love your clips. Grew up in new Zealand watching the dukes where it was on at 6.30 Friday nights
What a cool insight you just gave us! And might I say, you are very well spoken and can keep an audience - great work John
I just subbed 2 days ago. Who knew?! This is now in my top 5 favorite channels. Guy is a regular dude. I gotta get through some of his previous shows yet but I’m loving it!
It's amazing how great a memory some folks have. I can't remember any of what was showing on any time slot especially that long ago - what came on before or after Dukes of Hazzard or other networks shows that run parallel to Dukes of Hazzard. I agree! 3 networks made life so much simpler (easier).
I was stationed in Greece many years ago, and Dasiy was in a USO show that came through. I was speachless! It was fabulous.
My favorite show !!! Great way to end the school days and start of the weekend.
Thanks for doing these videos. I love to hear the history, having grown up with the Dukes!
I agree with you so much on innocence lost. The TV and Music today is so bad. I was born in the 60s so I grew up listening to my moms and siblings generation of music and TV as well as my own. The TV and Music of 50s 60s 70s and beginning of the 80s was so wonderful. I brought my own 6 children up with the same music and TV. Things had heart in them and really had meaning behind them! When a song comes on that takes you back to the first time you heard it and you feel that same emotion as in the past that my friend is heart and soul. Same with TV I remember when I would have tears or the biggest smile on my face. Absolutely nothing today compares in TV or radio as those wonderful yrs. TV had a moral behind the show with down to earth fun and reality mixed together. I really miss those years. They were great and innocence was kept. God bless John
Wow really enjoyed the insight of how they started television. Appreciate you and your thoughts
I remember Friday night. It was Falcon Crest. Knots Landing was on Thursday night. I remember whenever a big movie would come on like Superman. It wasn't like today. It was an event. Those were the days my friend! I was 30 years old when Smallville first came out. John, I have recently been rewatching and I just got to season 4. As much as I love Dukes, you were great on Smallville. The chemistry between you, Tom, and Annette was amazing. Love you bro!
John, really enjoy the videos you do. Thanks for keeping in touch with your fans/friends and just being your everyday self. Also admire you for the wholesome values you talk about! Loved your work in Dukes and Smallville (not sure where to find Haves and Have Nots?) Friday night was a great night for TV back then. In Canada it was picked up by one of the networks CTV or ITV. I was in high school at the time and since my last name is Duker i was always "Duke" for short so great name lol. I remember one time after watching The Dukes getting a ticket for going a bit too fast to a friend's place. My own "Roscoe" that night. Anyway just wanted to say hello and say thanks!!!
What a great analogy John... Love your conservative values! I was 8 in January of '79 and watched The Dukes Of Hazzard religiously as did all my buddies in school. Thank You for adding to my great childhood!
Knots Landing. A spin-off of Dallas. Gary and Valine Ewing moved out of South Fork.
Awesome take I totally agree with you especially with the Innocents and our youth . . You're an upstanding guy John
John, you and Tom were responsible for me eating all the veggies at dinner. If I didnt finish I couldn't watch the duke boys. I remember sitting in my pjs watching that tv and listening more intensely then I ever did at school. You my friend couldn't have said anything more true with the innocence statement. I agree with you 100%. God bless you, your family, the rest of the cast that are still with us and those that are not. Your show was part of a fantastic childhood.
My mom, my sister and I would stay up and watch that block of shows together. I was a teenager in those days. Those were the good ole days.
Dukes of Hazzard was first to watch didnt want to miss it. I videotaped Dallas and watched it when the kids were inbed. I ordered the Duke of Hazzard my son wanted it hes 43 yrs old now. But l told him he has to share when l want to watch it. Love your country songs too Thx! 🚘🚘🚘🚘❤❤❤
Forgot to say... the shows now so boring wish they put the old ones back on And Duke of Hazzard 🚘🚘🚘🚘❤❤❤
I. All. Way. Love. The. Show. They. Took. It. Off. Because. The. Flag. On. Top. Of. The. Car. Right
I still remember when I was 8 or 9 yrs old my Dad said come on were going to watch this new show called The Dukes of Hazzard! I believe it on a Friday night and after the first episode I couldn't wait till the next! Forward to today and still the best show of all time! They may take the dukes off tv but they can't take it from me because I have the total 7 seasons on dvd! Tks John we love ya!
