Behind the scenes

  • Due to a pay contract dispute he and Dukes of Hazzard costar John Schneider had with Warner Bros., they quit The Dukes of Hazzard, leaving Byron Cherry and Christopher Mayer cast as their replacements playing their onscreen cousins. This change reflected in The Dukes when the latter two began in the cartoon for the first season, but were promptly removed for the second season, as the former actors had worked out a new deal.
