John Schneider starred in "Dukes of Hazzard" as Bo Duke alongside Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach.
Still, Schneider is eager to reflect on his past as being one of the good old boys. "The Dukes of Hazzard" aired from 1979 until 1985 and starred Schneider alongside Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach. In its initial run, the series drew as many as 20 million viewers per episode and, by its third season, had become the second-biggest show on TV, The Hollywood Reporter shared.
Still, the outlet noted that the show has been criticized for its use of the Confederate battle flag painted on the roof of General Lee, a ’69 Dodge Charger. In 2020, there was renewed interest to erase the flag from the series, which has been a symbol of Southern pride to some and hatred to others.
