DR Jose:
I know you don't know why, and you won't guess why, so I'll tell you why:
I'm geniuinely AMAZED you could pinpoint this!!!
After "Dukes of Hazzard" left the airwaves (i.e. was cancelled), folks speculated a lot about what it is that either Schneider or Wopat might do next. At that time, it was my impression critics didn't think they'd amount to much.
I don't recall what Wopat's next gig was, but Schneider did a TV movie called "Dream House" in the 1981. He was a country boy from Tennessee who followed his girl friend to New York City where she had turned into this really uppity type.
At any rate, he parked his camper on the street, etc. He had a run-in with some locals who didn't want him helping folks out...ya see, Schneider had carpentry skills and he felt sorry for folks living in rundown buildings, so he set out to help them make the best of what they had.
And one of the things that he kept harping on when folks would tell him the building ought to be razed and not renovated was that the building had a good foundation and good woodworking....made of "Tennessee loblolly pine."
The more desperate the situation, the more adamant he was about the virtue of "Tennessee loblolly pine" and how well the building would turn out if he were given a chance.
All worked out well in the end. And Schneider was "GOOD" in the role...he wasn't a "Duke" at all...he WAS this Southern boy with a talent who made a huge difference in the lives of the people in one building.
That's my "Tennessee loblolly pine" story about John Schneider. I cannot hear his name without hearing him say "Tennessee loblolly pine."
