"Someday I got to have a talk with that boy."

[GeronL]

why do actors think they own their characters

[fhayek]

“That boy is tighter than the high string on a two dollar fiddle”

[Gay State Conservative]

So he ruled out becoming a brain surgeon *and* a soda jerk.

[Celtic Conservative]

Sounds pretty clear cut to me, i Reckon.

Wow Max, aren’t you rich enough by now? He’s as greedy as Wayne Newton, another ‘fixture’ of show business.
I recall seeing Wayne on a commercial, pretending to be a maniquin. The “Maniquin” gives a sly wink to a middle aged blonde, shocking and confusing her. It looked spooky to me too.

[pleasenotcalifornia]

Did he ever find his “Moon Maidens”?

[MrEdd]

Moses’ father-in-law was who exactly?
Somebody check the book of Exodus.

[TigerClaws]

There was a MUSTERS lawsuit where they won. It wasn’t the use of the characters but the actors images that led to the win.

Keep in mind unlike actors today these actors got ZERO residuals.

Actor Max Baer Jr. played Jethro on the show about a family of hill dwellers

[kjam22]

He’s unhappy because the restaurant is filled with fancy eatin’ tables.

[11th_VA]

I remember when they invested in sponges, and granny was given one and cooked it.

Jethro ate it and said, "It didn't have much taste, but it sure did soak up the gravy. " LOL !!!

“It’s not a secret deal; we just can’t talk about it.”

I still say Jethro was puttin’ the hillbilly log to Miss Hathaway!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Max is a good guy.Well, from what I’ve read about him.

[windcliff]

I remember Alan Hale Jr. having a restaurant called The Lobster Barrel in Los Angeles.

[djf]

I believe his father was Max Baer, the heavyweight champion, whose story is partly told in “Cinderella Man”.

Max Baer made a ton of money in Hollywood producing. Other than being the son of the heavyweight champ and Jethro, he was most famous for allegedly throwing the wildest parties in Hollywood.

[azcap]

Max is a very solid conservative and does a lot to promote conservative candidates. I met him at a JD Hayworth fundraiser in Arizona a few years back. If you look at his movie production career after he finished the Beverly Hillbillies you’ll also see that he is a helluva business man. Hollywood liberals are great at spending 200 million to make a movie that grosses 180 million. Max mad movies that had 1000% returns on multiple occasions. As far as this deal goes, CBS sold him the food and lodging rights fair and square and then it appears they went and collected money from a Restaurant for those very same rights. I thinks poor dumb Jethro is going to be getting a check in the mail from CBS soon.
