“The Dukes of Hazzard was and is no more a show seated in racism than Breaking Bad was a show seated in reality,” Schenider told The Hollywood Reporter. “Those who seek to malign the show because the famous car it featured had a Confederate flag painted on the roof are missing the point.

He also questioned if TV Land is now implying that those of us who grew up watching the show are suddenly racist now. Exit qutation: “Come on, TV Land, can’t we all just watch TV?”
