HazzardNetEver wonder how it looked when John Schneider and Tom Wopat became Bo Duke and Luke Duke for the first time? Here’s an early look at The Dukes of Hazzard, through a screen test in 1978. While this exact scene never shows up in an episode, the plot elements sound familiar to “Daisy’s Song.” You’ll also notice a little more cussing and a slightly edgier feel, which was true to the first few episodes.
This screen test is part of the Bonus Features on The Dukes of Hazzard Season Two DVD set.
Or for early risers…like, real early. CMT is broadcasting “The Dukes of Hazzard” on weeknights at 1:00 a.m. Don’t they realize farmers get up early, but not that early? We’re not sure why a family-friendly show like The Dukes of Hazzard is in the same time slot as most infomercials, but it doesn’t bode well.
Many Dukes of Hazzard fans are young viewers and their entire families. It’s one of the few shows on television that you can sit your child in front of and not worry about what they’re going to see or hear. We hope CMT restores the Dukes of Hazzard to an appropriate time slot that would serve the traditional audience of the program.
Check your local listings for the latest CMT schedules. And keep your fingers crossed.
Tom Wopat will be responding to questions from fans tonight only starting at 11pm EST (8pm PST) on his official Twitter page, http://twitter.com/wopatofficial. Make sure you check it out!

It was only a month ago that the HazzardNet community expressed condolences on the passing of Peggy Rea. It is with sadness again that we offer condolences to the friends and family of Paul R. Baxley, the incredible stunt coordinator and stuntman who helped to give the General Lee wings to fly. Paul passed away March 4th at the age of 88. His stunt career spanned several decades and numerous films and television shows.
RIP Paul
