This show is one of the fondest memories I have of when I was a kid. It's hard to explain to the younger generations how big this show was back then and still is. We only had about 3 or 4 networks to watch, and that was your entertainment on tv, other than what you did yourself for entertainment. No computer or smartphones, just tv. Friday night was something special back then. Incredible Hulk at 8pm, Dukes of Hazzard at 9pm and Dallas at 10pm. The show had something for everyone. The ladies liked John and Tom, the guys liked Daisy, family values, respecting each other, slap stick humor, the good guys fighting for what is right and helping your neighbor. Tv shows today just do not compare. Anyone, at any age could watch the Dukes and enjoy it.

I'm very grateful to own 2 1969 Dodge Chargers and I have them painted like the General Lee :)

you forgot to mention, right after the Dukes of Hazzard, John Schneider and Tom Wopat starred together in a Christmas movie called Christmas comes to Willow Creek.

I'm still watching the re-runs to this day, just did couple nights ago. Always takes me back to a simpler time in life where things were simple in life. Watching the simplicity of life on the show as in the settings, no technology driven scripts, just basic country living. Uncle Jessie's farm is a warm down home feeling today as it reminds me of my uncles farm from years past.....and maybe a lot of folks my age feels the same. Watching the show today is like a big warm hug from our past.

I was 2 months shy of 13 when the Dukes premiered. I was hooked. I never missed an episode. They'll never be another show like The Dukes of Hazzard.

Dude, this is so correct, January 26, 1979 was a Friday night on CBS 10, That show came on!!! Damn, I loved it instantly!!! In October of '78 I do remember filming of the 2nd episode of Dukes of Hazzard, which was Daisy's Song, I was in Atlanta, Georgia, I remember Boss Hoggs Cadillac sliding around the corner!!! Mopar Nate, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The dukes of hazzard will forever live on.

This is the best Derek, Thank you for keeping the spirit of the Dukes going!!!

I pray that john finds inner peace and healing with the loss of his wife!

As a true fan of Dukes of Hazzard, I’ve never never never understood how South Park cartoon can air and not the Dukes of Hazzard. We have to get this show back on TV.

THANKS, THE DUKES ARE FAMILY., I LOVE THE ALL

My Favorite TV Show growing up, I might be a 54 Year Old Man but I still feel like a Kid when I watch this show, And, I Still Want Myself A General Lee To Drive!!!!!

Loved this show growing up years ago I remember getting the racing set for Christmas in 1979 absolutely loved it. Great memories back then.

My favorite car is the Dodge general Lee Hazzard 01 and favorite show is the dukes of Hazzard 01

Surprisingly I just bought the series again back in Oct in Walmart for any that may be looking

Just Some Old Ole boys Happy 45th anniversary

Awesome great job

thank you SO much for doing this for us!

AWESOME!!!! INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!!

LOVE THIS

I’m here for it 🎉

I remember going into Kmart back in the day and feeling so lucky to find that three pack of duke cars.

The Dukes of Hazzard hits home for me because a lot of my family ran moonshine, got into small town shenanigans,& helped out everybody.

I loved the video. Great job. It was great to see John Schneider on the video. You put up an amazing effort to get this video out. Thank you. Looking forward to Part 2 and the full interview with John Schneider. Stay Rebel!

I got to ride in General Lee as John Schneider drove for interview we did with him in Tulsa. Even got video of me and him singing his song take the long way home. It was an epic day.

This was awesome!!! I watched it twice! Can’t wait for the next one…. You have a real knack for putting these together in a very clear and enjoyable way. Thanks for your hard work….

Cheers CM40. Your channel is pretty awesome. Thanks for passing along the greatness of the Dukes Of Hazzard to younger generations. Being 50yo, I remember watching it on TV with my family.

Awesome video for us die hard Dukes Fans!

Damn you made me feel old, hard to believe its been 45 yrs since I was in the 1st episode! Grew up in Covington since moving there in 1973 as an 8 yr old! I can still remember being on the square with my dad the day I seen the General Lee slide onto the square in the 1st chase scene {went by fast but thats us in front of the store at 8:41} & getting to meet the cast & Daisy actually built a house just a few miles down the country road we lived on & lived there for a few years! I also went to the 25th anniversary reunion at the Covington Fairgrounds where they recreated the General jump for the 1st time & is now a staple at every Dukesfest ✌💖☮

I absolutely LOVED Dukes of Hazzard. I had a 1967 GTO that I put a Dixie horn in!!! Sure wish I had that car still! GREAT show!

Amazing Job as always Chunkey!

I can remember as a kid watching the show with my grandfather, what a great time to grow up. Thanks

Derek. Absolutely SOLID SOLID work! As a near professional fan, I found myself learning a thing or two. Very professional presentation, friend. I’m proud of you! Ross. “MYOH1”

Happy 45 years yeeeha of dukes of hazards

Thanks John for just being yourself. Been a fan since dukes debut with moonrunners and James Mitcham. I think was the sequel for thunder road robert mitcham

Wow! That was neat to watch. Thanks for the blast to my past. I watched the Dukes of Hazard while growing up as a teen. I never missed an episode. Hard to say what I intrigued me most Daisy Duke or the General Lee, but it was by far my favorite TV program of all time.

for ever dukes xoxox

A thing of beauty my friend.

Dude this was incredible. Huge fan of the Dukes Of Hazzard. Thank you.

Watchin' and Drinkin' a beer with my General Lee Cozy! Very Cool video!

This Was my favorite show in the 80s I have the Entire Series on DVD

I miss those days.

I was fortunate enough to be around to watch it every week back then. Brings back good memories. Great show. You did remarkable with this video. Definitely looking forward to part 2

Amazing job chunkey cant wait for part2

Thank you for doing this. I’m always looking for new things on RU-vid about about this show.

I remember watching the Dukes of Hazzard when I was a kid when it originally aired on TV. I own all the seasons on DVD and also purchased the complete series on iTunes or Apple TV. I actually watched a few episodes not too long ago.

So many memories thank you. 👍

This is beyond awesome! Another fun fact: during the visit to Hazard, Kentucky, actor James Best was introduced to his long lost biological brother.

Nice, I watched the show from the beging to the end and in reruns. A great tv show. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Best show ever and it’s not even close. Rosco and Boss were as funny as any comedy team ever.

Wow. I'm as old as the Dukes of Hazzard. 45 myself

Every friday night the neighborhood guys would gather to watch this with our matchbox cars ready roar! Growing up in a rural area we are still friends 50 years later and those nights are still talked about. Heck I still have my metal Dukes lunchbox

Finishing up watching the show for the first time got season 7 left and it is sooo good been watching it for over a year, sad it is over😊

Yeee Yeee !!!

I have such fond memories of watching this every Friday evening. Thanks for your passion and for bringing it all back.

Great show!

We were there in 99. That was a great time. We had a party in the original Boars Nest and served PBR. Good job on this video CM. Love ya, Bobby and Sandie Carpenter

Excellent work! Greetings from Athens, Greece. 2 General Lee replicas reside here since a long time ago...

Very well done!

So glad I got the complete series on dvd

Awesome video chunky I'm definitely looking forward to the part 2 release this was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 👍

I had the duke’s breakfast set, several plastic and metal general Lee toys, a general Lee slot car, and my favorite, the big wheel , amongst other stuff like coloring books, lunchboxes and more. Wish I had it all now

As a kid, I used to fantasize every now and then about Uncle Jesse being MY Uncle Jesse.

this show will live for ever, just good clean fun

My uncle was a sheriff's deputy in hazard ky , he was also Boss Hoggs personal escort at the black gold festival . I still have the old photos of him with all the cast members

I remember the cast in Hazard, Ky. I didn’t get the chance to go unfortunately. Excellent job covering the Dukes! Keep up the great work!

Very nice job, im sure hours and hours of work and research. Great Job thanks for the memories!!

THANKS CM40 KILLER JOB LOVE IT👍!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a teenager than now im 63 its still fun to watch

I'm a huge fan of the dukes of Hazzard and general Lee

John Schneider is an all around awesome human being ❤ so down to earth. Thank you John for ……. Being you!!!❤

Looking forward to part 2.

They should have kept filming it in GA.

My favorite TV show as a kid. Still have my General Lee model cars I built, General Lee and Daisey Duke posters. 😁 Dang it's been a long time. 🏁

Loved this show as a kid 😂

My daughter is 25 now she grew up loving the dukes

Chunky monkey 40 when does the hazard first started I was a big fan and still I'm I have all the DVD sets of The Dukes of Hazzard and I love each and every one of them they are a part of my childhood memories

I love love love how you went down memory lane just to tell the history of the show Dukes of Hazzard, you did a masterful job and your work really shows how “ into it” you was creating the piece. ❤ Yet there’s another hit TV series that aired around the same time on NBC and is just as popular in the 80s- Knight Rider with KiTT as the main center of discussion. Are you planning to do a video on the show as you’ve done for the Duke boys?

Yee Haw! Good stuff my man

Bo’s car in the beginning of the 96 reunion movie is a 95-96 Honda NSX😊🤙🏼

I watched it air for the first time, I thought it was an English soap opera. Boy was I surprised. It became my favorite new show and my first car was the 69 Charger I drove to high school.

My favourite show as a kid, was on at 7.30 Friday nights! Have a model of the General Lee same as you have 👍 Can never afford a real one 😂

In nineteen eighty six john cider and tom wolpett was in a movie called christmas comes to willow creek

I live a hour away from Nashville n go to the dukes of Hazzard store in Nashville brings back of alot of memories of when was younger long live the dukes of Hazzard

Friggin awesome

I wish this show was available to watch on a streaming app

Awesome video dude! I loved it! Im jealous you're wearing a Stand up General lee shirt! Id love to have one!
