That is just beautiful John. As a black 44 year old man. Huge fan of the show still today. Love it.

[@SouthernSkeptic]

Did you know that DOH had more black characters than Seinfeld or Friends?

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

@@SouthernSkeptic INTERESTING, I didn't know that !

[@SouthernSkeptic]

@@REVNUMANEWBERN Its rrue. There was an article about it. If you Google it will come up.

[@bubbasouth69]

It was simply a fun show the whole family could enjoy. Friday nights had millions of Americans glued to their TV sets to watch the Dukes and then it was Dallas and Falcon Crest for the grown ups. What was “racist” about it! NOTHING! We all enjoyed the show!

What a gentle soul! Folks!!!! People like John are very hard to find these days!!! Keep these great videos coming! We NEED these now more than ever to be able to let us reflect on such a special time in history when things were so much more wholesome and simple!! Thanks John for this!!!👊👊

[@stevesilva1425]

I dont like it when we invested our time and energy watching these Shows and then watch the actors do evrything they can to distance themselves from the characters.

[@trublgrl]

A person should be judged by the work of his heart, head, and hands, and a work should be judged by how it came to be, and what it means in itself. I am exactly the demographic that should hate the show. Urban, LGBT, non-white American. But I love it, it is fun, it's funny, it's exciting, and actually speaks to universal principles of integrity, morality, Karma or consequences, and the subversive in me loves the fact that the Dukes don't take their ethics from laws, but from a higher ethical standard than man. The Dukes of Hazzard hits on all cylinders, it's a very good program. I'm glad John and Tom and the fans still stick with it.

[@justinsanders2705]

I've been watching the Dukes on dvd and my wife has even fallen in love with the show. She wants a basset hound named Flash. The Dukes has been my favorite show since I was a kid in the 80s. Loved seeing the old Boars nest.

[@elijahdavis2288]

You were my favorite of the Duke boys on the show, but you're an even more awesome person off camera than I imagined. My Aunt Lola used to tell me stories of when you guys filmed The Curse in my hometown Tellico Plains. (I'm 23, got into the show a little later than most..) She spoke of how polite and down to earth you were even in the middle of filming on a busy movie set, and how you took time to show her around. I got to meet James Best not long before He passed, and he signed my first season of DOH. And as for DOH? It's still my favorite childhood tv show, and even today it makes me proud of the people I've grown with and the culture I grew up in. So thank you John Schneider for standing up for it and keeping it alive after all these years.

[@charlesmerrill7931]

Thankyou John! That little bit of history that you taught us is forever appreciated. Our world is in so much turmoil right now and shows like Hee Haw and The Andy Griffith Show and The Walton's and of course The Dukes Of Hazzard take us back to a simpler time when we could feel safe. Thankyou for your contribution to my childhood. If you get a chance to talk to Tom Wopat please ask him to record some country music again. You and Tom both have had such beautiful amazing voices. Tom singing the song Wheels and John singing the song I've Been Around Enough To Know is true bliss. And the rare occasions when both John and Tom sing together is just magic. Again thankyou John for the history lesson and thankyou for the memories.

Hey John. Thank you for all your videos. I saw the second General Lee jump on Elm St. when I was 8 years old. I now know that the first jump at Seney Hall was done in 'Lee 2' and I got to see THE General Lee jump! YOU know what I'm talking about. I saw you after production had left Covington when you came back in about '79 for some event and you were in an alleyway behind the square playing an acoustic guitar and singing. Way before you were a recording artist. My step-dad was a National Guard reservist in charge of being your body guard while you were playing but I never got to meet you. My mom was breakfast manager at the Dairy Queen and she talked about y'all coming in from time to time. I'm just rambling. I'm like many others, I'd just like to finally meet the real John Schneider some day. Thank you again for ALL your videos.

Hey John, conversation is conversation...When a particular person, event, or place can take you back to an important touchstone in our lives, in this case a place that signified a huge change in your career that would have lifelong implications, that's just simply cool to hear and reminisce along with you. I remember the first time I saw a General Lee in person. It was at a Speed & Custom Car Show here in Toronto at the CNE Automotive building around 1980 and I remember crowding around the red velvet cordoned off General, snapping photos with my Instamatic Kodak camera and just marveling at that car like it was my hero or a real celebrity like yourself! I believe that Greg Evigan, yep B.J. from "BJ and the Bear" himself was at that same car show with his cabover and I managed to talk with him and get his new '45 record...still have it in my collection of 45s somewhere here. Those were magical years for me as a 10 year old...Thanks for being a part of that for me!!
