i never watched this as a kid of the 80's, but they could re-film it word for word now in 5D Colour an all, and it'd be a #1 hit. I never realised how fkn funny this show was.
The cars alone are worth a look. I’d forgotten how huge they could be - far larger than anything we had in the UK. Mind you, two couldn’t pass on most of our roads.
@Allen Loser Of course she is. The Broadcast Standards & Practices board would collectively have a grand mal seizure if there was even a hint that she wasn't. When this show aired, the prudes were riding high in the public consciousness, and certainly at the networks. Any hint of sexuality was squashed. It's why Mary Anne's tight shortie-shorts had to cover her naval, why the pubescent girls of the Mickey Mouse club had to have heavy towels wrapped around their bodies under their sweaters (Doreen was an early bloomer, or so I've heard), and married couples were depicted sleeping in separate beds. It's astonishing they even acknowledged that bras were really a thing, much less allowed the 'whole heap of rocks' joke.
@Allen Loser Indeed so. But then, fantasy was a big part of television at the time. Mr. Ed. The Addams Family. The Munsters. Hogan's Heroes. F Troop. Gilligan's Island. My Favorite Martian. I Dream of Jeannie. Bewitched. Get Smart. Even the cop shows, even the ones supposedly based on 'true events' were unrealistic.
@Allen Loser It's interesting you mention that. There were a lot of people back then who were angry at that show. Why? They believed it 'misrepresented' the actual war. My uncle one of them. He was absolutely livid because he thought I believed the war was as it was depicted on a sitcom. I sort of sympathize with him; he'd seen action in Europe during the war. But no matter how many times I tried to explain that NOBODY believed the war was like that, he never could get that through his head.
This is some of the best comedy ever written for TV. Almost EVERY SINGLE LINE is knee slapping hilarious. Great writers. Of course they had a subject that is hilarious on its face: a family of Appalachian(or was is the Ozarks?) hillbillies transplanted and living in the ultra-sophisticated - and ritzy - society of Beverly Hills, Calif.. How outrageous to begin with! I think Jethro at one point made reference to their home town(or community) of "Bugtussle"(or Bug Tussle) and that is was in Tennessee. Does anyone really know from what state they were supposed to be?
Several times later in the season Granny mentions she is homesick for Tennessee. I wasn't much different than the Clampetts when I went to college. I grew up in a small West Texas ranching town that was so country I even rode my horse to school a few times.
THIS is the episode I've been looking for! It establishes explicit links between activities in the Hills and back at the cabin, and sets up several continuing elements of the situation -- e.g., Pearl's manhunting, Ellie May's unpolished wildness, Granny's misunderstanding of the Cement Pond, the prototypical "Long Talk", etc.
24:10 and there is the problem that became Californi he bathtub bit was superb 3rd time round? I watched it in the 70s!! first time round in England of course!!!
I was sad when I heard of Granny's death in 1973. Oh was in 7th grade. It was then told that Irene Ryan nav wore make-up to make her look old. She sure was plenty feisty for her age! She was loved dearly
I learned how to drive a standard on an old International Scout. The steering wheel was large and you had to move it back and forth to go straight. No power steering.
Anne,I imagine that being a 1924 Oldsmobile truck,its gonna have a WHOLE lot of play. I've driven a pre-60's olds truck and it HAD that much..even going straight,thanks luv
@@barbaraellisonspencer7676 Unless he convinced Jed to give *him* power of attorney and make all Jethro's financial decisions. I was always surprise he didn't try to convince Jed to give him all the money and go back to the hills.
I liked the episodes following the "home for Christmas" one where Pearl and Jethrene go to Califirni with them, especially the one titled, "Jed's Delima," where the two older ladies start scrapping.
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 thank You For Calling and Sharing And The Now can We take The Next Call Please ! Now the Question is Do you know what Episode it is When The Clampets learn about The doorbell ? Does Miss Jane explains it To Them ?
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 HA HA Funs and Games Hot Diggity 🐕 With all Kidding aside Do know what episode it is About The Doorbell ? Thank you so much for your reply!
@@guyboost7311 omg! I checked up on you and you're a kid! As Metallica says nothing else matters I don't/cant/wont chat with kids. Worse, you're just not very interesting. Random caps lol! aloha nui loa!
My question is why does Jed give money to bums named Clampett & talk about being fair but he just took Pearl's truck.No rent money,no restitution at all for years.
Probably not. But such an oversight is called, "poetic liscence" in show biz talk. People were freer conduct things back then. If you remember from the previous episode (#1-"The Ckampetz Strike Oil," Pearl GAVE (offered) them the truck to manage 6 day "hard driving" mentioned twice in the series, one titled, "home for Christmas," where they take a "Bus" (aka-airplane TWA, I THINK) to somewhere in the hills and Mr. Brewster picked them up.
@Daniel Crowell When I was growing up, I had several aunts and uncles. I didn't count them, but it would turn out that my father had 3 brothers and 2 sisters while my mother had 6 brothers and 2 sisters...for a total of 13 aunts and uncles. But we also had Aunt Teresa, at least that is what my mother called her, and I met a woman called Aunt Anne. I actually had no idea as a child who Aunt Teresa and Aunt Anne were related to, and it wasn't until I was an adult that I realized Aunt Teresa and Aunt Anne were sisters of my mother's parents. No one called them great aunt....or grand aunt(?), and Teresa did not really seem to resemble her sister (my grandmother) although I did remember Anne resembled her brother (my grandfather). Families, especially back when generations were more likely to get together every now and then, often "mixed up" the correct terms for relatives. I have a cousin that is the daughter of my father's half sister. But to further muddy the waters, she has her own children and grandchildren.
@@howardkerr8174 I enjoyed your story..lol ..I can relate to it, as we (my family) was about the same. Growing up I can remember calling elderly people 'aunt' / 'uncle', but they wasn't my mother or fathers sister or brother, not even THEIR aunt or uncle. But even now, I have great nieces & nephews, & THEY have children & grandchildren, but I'm still just Aunt to all of them, they are just niece/ nephew to me. Not all the great- great..ect..ect.. Probably confusing I know..but we have a great, wonderful ,loving family.
They don’t make them like they use to. This is pure gold!

When Miss Hathaway pulled up in the convertible, I thought "how many crew does that take?"
I am now 65 and still love them.
I'm 71 now and have spent the last couple of hours just howling at these re-runs. CLASSIC TV.
I'm older than you & I'm STILL enjoying them. Better than stuff on tv now.

@laser325 Choke on the spelling...
JEFRO......One of theses days.....you ands me are gona have a long talk.......STILL FUNNY AFTER SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY YEARS.
32 rooms and 14 bathrooms? Heck that's a hotel!
I just love the "talk" that Jed has with Elly.
Back then, 'parenting' wasn't just 'turn 'em loose in the streets and let 'em figure it out'.
lol i’m currently watching the “talk” between uncle Jed & Jethro! Ending in “Jethro? One of these days you & me’s gonna have a lonng talk!”
*Jethro: "Bring on them Cookies!!" xD*
A store bought,lace trimmed double barreled slingshot!
That was funny. . . . and shocking!
That was one of the best laughs I ever got from a teevee program. This show was absolute brilliance. 57 years later and it's STILL FUNNY.
@Allen Loser Of course she is. The Broadcast Standards & Practices board would collectively have a grand mal seizure if there was even a hint that she wasn't.

"Well all be dog goned, a store bought lace trim double barrel sling shot"
lol, Jed was trying not to laugh at Jethro's cookie story.
What memories! I haven't laughed like this in a long time.
Jethro?....... Come one of these days, you and me's gonna have to have a long talk 😂
Its those short ones that cause ALL the problems!?
Buddy Ebson's expressions when Jethro tells him about Big Mouth and the cookies, are priceless. He can't believe what an idiot his nephew is.
Remember how young we were?
I was -34 at the time.
Those were the days.
In several episodes Jed keeps promising to have a "looooong talk with that boy," which finally happens several seasons later!
I can’t stop thinking of Betty Rubble and Kate Bradley.lol
Or Granny (Looney Tunes; Tweety's owner).

Believe they're in the Ozarks of Arkansas; Granny Moses -- while from similar stock -- is not a local. her ancestors were Tennessee Confederates.
Ozark Mountain area of Arkansas.
but yet they managed to screw it up in the remake i'd go as far to say it's one of the worst remakes of all time

Whoa...
Many a time over the years, i've referenced the double barrel slingshot.
UNCLE JED: “Doggone! A store bought, lace trimmed double barrel sling shot!”
Wish I had those Chrysler products now.
I love how in the opening credits, Jeb is moving the steering wheel back and forth yet they are going straight.
@laser325 Not sure what your point is, that's like if I said I like red tomatoes you found it important to point out other foods are red too.
@laser325 Huh? How do you get carrots out of tomatoes? Trolling?
