John Schneider only appears briefly. It is explained that Bo is away on a job on the NASCAR circuit. He only appears at the end when he phones Uncle Jessie, Luke and Daisy. At the time this program was originally filmed, John Schneider's appearance was purposely shortened due to the fact he was scheduled to go out of town to tape an hour-long television special in Sun Valley, Idaho for CBS, "John Schneider's Christmas Holiday."
Dewey Hogg (Robert Morse) is the nephew of Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and a former grade school classmate of Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach). In reality, Robert Morse was only a year younger than Sorrell Booke and over 20 years older than Catherine Bach.
