Line 4:
** John Schneider was 18 when he was hired to play Bo, whose character is said to be in his mid-20s when the series began (indeed, the casting directors were looking for a mid-20s man, and Schneider has recalled in interviews where he lied about his age (and background) to audition for the part).
* [[Directed by Cast Member]]: Multiple instances, with episodes directed by James Best, Sorrell Booke, Denver Pyle, John Schneider and Tom Wopat (Schneider directed the [[Series Finale]], which he also co-wrote - he was the only cast member to write an episode).
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Sort of.
** Despite all the southern charm (and southern stereotypes) of the show, none of the four main actors were actually from Dixie. (John Schneider was from New York, Tom Wopat was from Wisconsin, Catherine Bach was from Ohio and the '69 Dodge Charger was from Michigan.) Due to the popularity of the series, they have been accepted as honorary Southerners, however.
** Meanwhile, Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse) was from Colorado and Sorrell Booke (Boss Hogg) was from Buffalo, New York.
* [[The Red Stapler]]: "Daisy Duke" shorts, tight jeans cut off just below the buttocks, remain in fashion among teenage girls (though the name hasn't been in use since the early 90's), becoming stock [[Jail Bait|jailbait]] attire.
