very likely part of the inspiration for Daisy Duke.

And the Hillbillies characters were, in turn, based on characters in Al Capp's "Li'l Abner" comic strip. The whole cornpone comedy genre has its stock characters.

Colonel Blake: Jethro,fortunately we take into consideration the amount of formal education a boy has had, and we grade on the curve, so you are eligible to join.
Jethro Bodine: Hey, that’s swell!
Colonel Blake: However, before I administer the oath, there are a couple of things I’d like to discuss with you.
Jethro Bodine: Yes, sir?
Colonel Blake: Now, let’s take your application, you’re going to be filling out a lot of other forms and I want to give you a tip.
Jethro Bodine: Thank ya!
Colonel Blake: Name, address, date of birth, that’s okay, but Jethro, where it says sex: write ‘male’, not ‘oh, boy!’
Jethro Bodine: [Embarrassed] I’m sorry.

Always loved the episode where Granny shoots down an oil company helicopter that was hovering over the old homestead. One of the survivors is a good looking guy and Ellie asks if she can keep him. LOL.

In some respects, hard not to. Gotta give max Baer credit to dress up in drag. At least the voice was dubbed.

Haha! Did you see the one where the jet full of passengers got swept into the past and they showed the dinosaurs out the plane window? It was great!

...I always figured “the Darlins” from Andy Griffith were the inspiration for “Larry, Darryl and Darryl” from the old Newhart Show.......

Jethro was a math genius who got me through junior high math.

“Uncle Jed, those naughts don’t mean nuthin’ by themselves. But you put some after a number, and they add up to a whole bunch!”

Thanks to Jethro, I was able to be cool with the hippie kids, by teaching them how to smoke crawdads.
