Nerdy Facts of The Day: Dukes of Hazzard


Ben Jones (Cooter) actually owns a store called "Cooters" in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, dedicated to all things related to the show.

Sorrell Booke wore padding under his suit, to appear chubbier, while playing overweight "Boss" Jefferson Davis Hogg.

Somewhere between 256 and 321 "General Lee" cars were created and mostly destroyed during the series.

John Schneider (Bo Duke) has restored over 20 Dodge Chargers (The General Lee).

Uncle Jesse's CB handle was "Shepherd," Bo and Luke's handle was "Lost Sheep," and Daisy's handle was "Bo Peep."

The "General Lee" is a 1969 Dodge Charger. 1968 Chargers were also used, but their round tail lights and front grill were replaced from those on the 1969 model on the otherwise nearly identical model years.

Daisy was originally intended to resemble Dolly Parton
