you [Music] hello and welcome to another episode of how they changed when the Dukes of Hazzard premiered on January 26 1979 it was intended to be a temporary patch in CBS primetime schedule until the Incredible Hulk returned only nine episodes were ordered in the few executives that the network had any expectation that the series back to my brothers at odds with a corrupt law enforcement of Hazzard County would become both erasings powerhouse and a merchandising bonanza check out some of these lesser known facts about the Duke boys their extended family and a gravity-defying general heat it's made their small screen through 40 years ago today CBS chairman William Paley never quite bought into the idea of spinning his opinion to match the company line having built CBS from a radio station to one of the big three television networks he had harvested talent as diverse as Norman Lear and Lucille Ball a marked contrast to the southern fried humor of the Dukes of Hazzard in his 80s when it became a top 10 series and see no reason to Sansa himself tele repeatedly in publicly described the show as lousy wagon Schneider and to walk at all the ostensible stars of the show both the actors and the show's producers quickly found out that the main attraction was the 1969 Dodge Charger not the General Lee you that traffic brothers bought and looked Duke from one caper to another of the 60,000 letters the series was receiving every month in 1981 35,000 wanted more information on more pictures of the car when the show began testing in 1978 that produces throughout a wide nap searching for the lead in his Quaid was among those interested in the role of Luke Duke which eventually went to morbid but he had a condition he would only agree to the show if his then-wife PJ Souls was cast as the Dukes cousin Daisy souls wasn't a proper feed for the supporting part which put weight off Efrain bar was eventually cast as Daisy New York native Snider was only 18 years old when he went in to read for the role of poor tube the problem produces wanted someone 24 to 30 years old Snyder lied about his age and passed himself off as a south and archetype strutting and wearing cowboy hat drinking a beer and spitting tobacco he also told them he could do stunt driving it was a good enough performance to land him the show after Schneider was cast the show needed to locate an actor who could complement both stage actor walpert was flown in for a screen test snide happened to be in the bathroom when Wolford walked in after him the two began talking about music Snyder had seen agate on the stovetop and found they had an easy camaraderie after flushing the two dates in Beaufort was hired immediately bucks only present jean shorts was such a hit any kind of quatorze quickly became known as daisy dukes after her character but they were so skimpy that the network was concerned Sansa's wouldn't allow them a negotiation began and it was eventually decided that I would wear some extremely sheer pantyhose to make sure they wouldn't her clothing malfunctions he was originally going to wear a miniskirt after produces toured bar to see what waitresses were wearing in the restaurant across the street but they eventually landed on the famous short roads although that too would come with some controversy additionally Catherine bar who played a single [ __ ] the seamstress making many of the outfits for her character including the famous red bikini she wore in several episodes surely more parks form a great school teacher went on to work in the White House after box and her a posture she was surprised to hear bad Batman First Lady Nancy Reagan was in a mood with it I'm the envy of the White House and I'm having your poster friend move wrote in a letter mrs. Reagan saw the picture and fell in love with it barks and more posters which presumably became part of the decor during the Reagan administration warburton schneider famously walked of the series in 1982 after demanding a card of the shows massive merchandising revenue which was by one estimate more than 190 million dollars in 1981 alone they were replaced with byron terian Christopher Maia Carson's of the Duke boys who were reviled by fans for being scabs the two leads eventually came back but it wasn't the only time Warner Brothers have to deal with I raised a actors James best who portrayed croocked sheriff Rosco Coltrane refused to film five episodes because he had new private dressing room in which to change his clothes the production just hosts him down when he popped dirty and Jones who played putas the mechanic briefly left because he wanted his character to sport and be head and produces preferred he to be clean shaved as establish the general leave was a primary attraction for viewers of the series for years the shown wreck dozens of charges by jumping crushing and otherwise abusing them which created some terrific footage for its seventh and final season in 1985 the show turned to a minute to effect steam in an effort to save on production costs it was cheaper to mangle a hot wheel sized model than the real thing it was a source of embarrassment to all of us on the show Walker told as table and eventually cliche faction films everywhere the slide over the hood was popularized by Tom Moffatt while it may have been tempting to take credit what word said it was unintentional and that the first time he tried clearing the hood the cars and Tina wound up injuring him oona brothers capitalized on the show's phenomenal popularity with an animated series The Dukes which was produced by hanna-barbera and aired in 1983 taken advantage of the form the Duke boys traveled internationally racing Boss Hogg through grease Oh Hong Kong perhaps owing to the fact that the live-action series was already considered enough of a cartoon the animated series only lasted 20 episodes at the time the series originally aired little was made of the generally sporting a confederate flag on its hood in 2015 after then South Carolina Governor nikki Haley spoke out against the depiction of the flag in opa-locka una brother selected to stop licensing products with the original roof the company announced that all future Dukes merchandise would drop the design element Snyder disagreed with a decision telling The Hollywood Reporter is the flag used as sergeant of applications yes but certainly not on the Dukes labeling anyone who has the flag a racist seems unfair to those who are clearly never meanin no harm we all know the basic idea of the Dukes involved bo and Luke outrunning Boss Hogg and the cops turns out in the back story which was rebuilt in the overlooked first few episodes in boat horn Luke being arrested for running moonshine however uncle J's made a deal with the law to quit producing hurt in exchange for their freedom this ordeal gave rise to some of the lasting quirks of the show such as the Dukes couldn't own firearms so they used bows and arrows in stand hopefully with Donna Mae now that's a loophole and couldn't leave the county every time they generally made one of hundreds of their - those germs it's sold in the air and landed rear wheel first realistically that was impossible because the bulk of the cars weight is in the front meaning that it would nosedive into the ground to avoid this from happening the General Lee was loaded with extra mass by placing concrete palace sandbags away boxes in the trunk this meant that its heaviest side was now in the back along the charger to briefly fly in the precise way that the directors wanted it to the generally is known for many iconic features and of which is a horn that plays the concentrate song Dixie but unlike my shows intricate stones and car chases the use of the Dixie horn was then planned result of pure luck according to the show's creators they were on the road when they heard a passing car blaze horn to the tune of Dixie they chased the car down and bought the Dixie horn from the driver for $300 thus upgrading an already iconic car to a legendary status and that's all for now they were like share this video and subscribe for more take care friends
