My favorite was the road trip Mr. Drysdale took with Fairchild, the moonshine swilling bear. Both ended up arrested for running the moonshine.
I hadn’t watched the Hillbillies forever but the other day I recorded one - Granny got all dressed up in surgical garb with Jethro as her assistant, planning to operate on Elly May’s bear because it had eaten what Granny thought was a love letter from Petticoat Junction.
That whole series was pure genius, theme songs included.
The character Jethro reminds me of somebody I work with.
Best one when Jed was going to go buy a yacht and by mistake ended up at the navy shipyard and he was dressed in an admirals uniform and the took the Clampets out for a cruise on a destroyer.
Was that the one in which Jethro turned the ship around in a tight circle?
The Babe hated him and he was a low- life!
I always liked when Lester and Earl came to visit.
Perry Botkin’s guitar licks were memorable.
“Ellie was a drag on the series.”
Are you out of your mind! Egads, man. She was THE main reason to watch it. (but the humor was a good second place)
Wow! Dad =’s Famous Dude...
Current PC fail.
I’m partial to the episode where Granny was going to cut off Mr. Drysdale’s head & transplant it onto a monkey’s body at her kitchen table.
After all the nails were driven into the board (all on 1 shot each), I think Jethro went and turned the board around, so as they could drive the nails back out of the board
I had to stop your ball. I would’ve fallen into that there hole - Jethro
LAPD would have strafed the area in this era.
I loved the episode with Granny mistaking an escaped Kangaroo for a giant jackrabbit.
What about the one where they figured a “Topless” restaurant must mean that the waitresses didn’t wear any...
hats?
He is the one who introduced me to FreeRepublic back in 1998. He passed away in 2000.
