The Beverly Hillbillies Goofs and Fun Facts

[@terryjames2229]

Great show….. grew up watching every episode. Good , clean fun!!!!!! A happy baby boomer

[@tvcrazyman]

It was a fun show for sure. Still funny to watch.

[@deepcow]

Me and my brothers loved this show, we watched it on reruns in the early 1970’s.

[@Pratman]

Absolutely loved this show back in the day 😀

[@tvcrazyman]

Yeah, I watched it every day like I did Gilligan's Island in re-runs.

[@randalmayeux8880]

I really loved the episodes where they were going to buy some land for Granny. They mistook a funeral home for a realtor, and the representative, played by Richard Deacon was asking them what kind of land they were looking for. They specifically didn't want any land on a hillside because, as Jed recalled, " a gullywasher washed all of the greens off the hill, and there were greens all over the porch, and the chickens were picking at them." The rep assumed "Greens" were a family by that name that had been buried on the hill. There were so many situations like this, and it got so hilarious, that you'd have to go back and watch them to fully appreciate it.

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

That's the episode that sticks out in my mind-Granny trying to box that kangaroo. 😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@jubalcalif9100]

You have one sharp eye to catch so many of these goofs! Endlessly intriguing! Luv your videos!

[@tvcrazyman]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it.

[@hifijohn]

Bea Benaderet reaction when granny pulls the table away is priceless.

[@jackmarks2176]

This always was and still is one of my favorite shows, no sex, no foul language, no politics, just funny.

[@brianmuhlingBUM]

😊 Great stuff, as usual TVCRAZY. Keep em coming.

[@brianarbenz1329]

No sex, no politics? Don't you remember Beverly Hillbillies episodes about the Women's movement uprising by the Commerce Bank's secretaries, led by Jane? And the hippies shown, with Jed making fun of their music? As for sex, Paul Henning deliberately had Donna Douglass pose in profile once in each episode to get the male demographics. Same with Lori Saunders on Petticoat Junction. I was too young then to notice, but I have read that he did that as a way to build ratings.

[@tvcrazyman]

Thanks @brianmuhlingBUM

[@BrianUnderwood-q5u]

Very well put

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

Can you imagine the fun this series would have with Donald Trump?!

[@gophersmith]

For me, the biggest goofs were: Cousin Pearl owns a truck that takes gas and oil, but the Clampetts thought their oil strike was worthless. Jethro knows how to drive. The whole family are crack shots, but shoot so bad that they're nearly starving. They call an outdoor pool a "cement pond", even though they don't know what cement is, and it's far too small to be a pond.

[@dennismccarty7728]

my favorite comedy!!

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

You missed an even bigger flub. When they pull up with the fish in the car, they were driving a 1962 Plymouth Fury. After the fish was loaded, they were in a 1964 Dodge Polara.

[@chinousmc2k4]

Then timing with Granny at 0:03 is absolutely perfection!

[@MISHKINPUSH]

Thanks for another fun video. This show was on in our house every week.

[@tvcrazyman]

Appreciate it! Glad you liked it 😀

One of the episodes where Aunt Pearl is yodeling Duke covers his head with his paws and he's in a different room.

[@Linda-in9ns]

I watch that show every night! ❤️😁👍

[@cadeevans4623]

Love this show one of my favs hilarious show funny goofs lol😂😂😂

[@CyndisKrist]

Jane Hathaway referred to Granny as "Granny Clampett," but Granny's last name was Moses. She was Jed's mother-in-law.

[@TommygunNG]

At the beginning, you allude to the question of where the Beverly hillbillies were actually from, but never get back to it.. It connects to the question of where “Hooterville” in Petticoat Junction and Green Acres was. Remember that Hollywood writers really know nothing about flyover areas. The Smoky Mountains are in North Carolina, but everybody thinks of them as being in Tennessee. Missouri is right across the border from Tennessee, and the writers didn’t know that Silver Dollar City is on the opposite side of the state. So in their minds, all those areas are practically next-door to each other. Hence, it was possible for the Clampetts to be from Tennessee, yet in the Smoky Mountains, and a short distance from Silver Dollar City, which neighbors on Hooterville.

[@bajaskier]

Early on, they didn't know what a telephone was. Later episodes, Granny reminisces about eavesdropping on the party line.

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

I grew up in the 70s and 80s watching Saturday morning cartoons myself. Sure do miss those days.

[@tvcrazyman]

Another blooper; The view out the back door from the cabin back home, and the cabin put up near the cement pond looking out the back door has the same view.

[@tomlacko606]

I noticed at the 11:24 minute mark that Mr. Dervis aka Mr. Drysdale has a book with no words or pictures in it!

[@davidmelton2091]

I watched this show since I was a kid.

[@tvcrazyman]

They are still funny!😀

[@gearshifterg9756]

The Andy Griffith show and the Danny Thomas show and Lucy show often had vehicles in the shot with no glass. Also, ever notice that Granny always had a good supply of possum innerds but never went back home to get more?

[@tvcrazyman]

I think Aunt Pearl was supposed to be sending her supplies from home, but then, who caught the possums, unless maybe, they sold possum innerds at the local store.

[@rextrek]

31st have to give you cr43edit for finding these- its funny seeing them now......I was born 60' ....64 this yr - Damm you TIME ! Thanks :) Jethro was a babe ...my mom Loved GRanny / Irene Ryan.

[@moviesgalore9947]

Jethrine was hilarious and Max Baer did a great job playing her I wish they had kept her in the show have her move to Beverly Hills and live in the mansion would have been fantastic fun and Max would have played both parts in every episode same way Patty Duke did. And the actress who dubbed the Jethrine voice was also great.

[@richardranke3158]

That was Paul Henning's daughter Linda.

[@moviesgalore9947]

@@richardranke3158 they only had Jethrine in 11 episodes in first season maybe Max got tired of playing her or Henning decided to get rid of Jethrine but that was a stupid mistake she was hilaious and Max should have been paid extra money to do both parts if Jethrine had moved to Beverly Hills to live in the mansion with the Clampetts it would have been a much funnier show.

[@pamelamays4186]

So, the BH share a universe with The Twilight Zone and Mister Ed.

[@FlintIronstag23]

Donna Douglas was also in a second Twilight Zone episode, "Cavender Is Coming", although it was more of a cameo role.

[@hifijohn]

she was in Eye of the Beholder

[@kurtmorris454]

Granny appearing on Mr. Ed is called an easter egg, not mentioning them is what easter eggs are all about.

[@dmax64]

Great video

[@tvcrazyman]

Thanks!

[@dereksbox2-2012]

You know if you watch the movie Wizard of Oz there has been Goofs in it in one scene where the ten man is about to fall Dorothy drops the oil can while she runs but suddenly when I check on the Tin Man it's magically back in her basket

[@MsBackstager]

Irene Ryan played the grandma Berthe in the musical PIPPIN. There was a song reference to her being GRANNY.

[@Trekkienut4]

You forgot the main one. In the opening titles it said Jed was shooting at the food, but in the origanal first episode, it was established the guy Elly Mae found was an oil employee that found the oil first. Jed never shot at food and found the oil

[@hifijohn]

Jed always knew that he had oil on his property. "that swamp is full of oil"

[@Trekkienut4]

But he never shot it@@hifijohn

[@hifijohn]

@@Trekkienut4 Im not going to get into some useless argument over this ,just listen to the opening theme song,Jed found oil when he was shooting for some food, he just thought the oil was useless when the oil guy said there was oil jed thought the oil company was going to charge him to pump it out.

[@JesseOaks-ef9xn]

The truck is at Point Lookout MO.

[@markcornish2519]

And Donna Douglas made a memorable appearance on Mr Ed as Clint Eastwood's girlfriend

[@RangerJohnreid]

Donna played Ellie who was supposed to be 17 in the first season. Donna was divorced, had a child and was 29 when the show stated! She was near 40 when it ended!

[@tvcrazyman]

It is amazing how young they had her play vs her real age.

[@kurtmorris454]

I think Marry Ann and Ginger were well in their 30's and perhaps later 30's while their characters were supposed to be early 20's on Gilligan's Island.

[@jessejohnson3.24]

My grandparents use to like this show

[@ernestcruz6316]

When The Beverly Hillbillies premiered, Bea Benaderet was doing the voice of Betty Rubble on The Flintstones. When she got the role of Kate Bradley on Petticoat Junction, she left Hillbillies except for a few cameos where she was calling them on the phone as Pearl. I'm not sure if Petticoat Junction was also the reason she was replaced as Betty by Gerry Johnson.

[@tvcrazyman]

I think Petticoat Junction was the reason she quit the Flintstones. I think I remember reading that somewhere at least.

[@cedarledgepublishing]

I know the producer Thought he was doing the right thing giving her petticoat junction But pearl was the funniest and best character in the Beverly hillbillies And you don't take her And make her the straight man. The show is so much better with pearl than without her

[@kurtmorris454]

perhaps a regular door bell (ding dong) is well known even to Hillbillies but when music starts playing through the house, perhaps not something they would be familiar with.

[@tvcrazyman]

Could be. i did think about that, but seems like once they noticed they always had visitors at the same time they would put two and two together.

[@kurtmorris454]

@@tvcrazyman exactly what I was thinking as I wrote this. It probably works for one or 2 episodes but it's still funny as hell and they probably didn't think viewing audiences would complain.

[@johnsewell6593]

Hows about the episode where Jethro tries out for the DODGERS(at least I think it was the Dodgers)....seems to me Casey Stengal was somewhere in there...hows about it "Crazyman" , you are a very knowledgeable human being......!!??

[@johnsewell6593]

Hello again "Crazyman". It was Leo Durocher and was in season 1 episode 29..Okay , Okay, my memory "ain't what it used to be"....JRS.

[@tvcrazyman]

[@alfinpogform4774]

No mention of the billiard table not having any pockets until about season 5 ?

[@tvcrazyman]

You know I did some research recently and I read that old billiard tables were actually made without holes until pool came along after the holes were put in. I'm not an expert on that, of course, but that's what I read.

[@RangerJohnreid]

Buddy Ebsen worn a fake mustache. The pool didn’t have a filter nor heat. The water was nasty. The cast members commented on this. Buddy never took dancing lessons. He made up his dancing style himself. Before WWII Buddy and a friend did a stage show much like Hellsapoppin. It was very successful. They made a lot of money. After WWII they tried it again and it failed. Audiences wanted more serious content after the war. Thus, the popularity of film noir dramas. After the series Granny (Irene Ryan) got a broadway play to star in. They were nearing the opening date when she suddenly died. Ryan’s career was never too successful. She had a vaudeville act with her husband. It was mildly successful. She would play an ugly skinny woman dancing around and singing as if she was a beautiful young stage siren. They let her do this only for a few seconds on Hillbillies, and she did it on Hollywood palace. It flopped. She was best as Granny!

[@kurtmorris454]

to bad she had to be a heavy smoker which very largely contributed to her death.

[@kurtmorris454]

another goof I think is Ellie May's cooking. If it's so bad that no one, even Jethro won't eat it, obviously someone must eat it. Ellie May herself, otherwise she'd know that she can't cook.

[@tvcrazyman]

Maybe Ellie likes her own food because she has no taste.

[@kurtmorris454]

@@tvcrazyman well I must have missed that episode explaining she has no taste.

[@nicolepowell5470]

I could see the big fish when the car was pulling in the drive way in the long shot

[@beckyhahn3132]

Which episode does cousin Pearl tell Jed about meeting Hollywood stars including actor Buddy Ebsen.

[@kurtmorris454]

the worst goofs to me anyway are doorbell or telephone conversations, someone comes knocking on their 32 room mansion door it's a good thing someone is standing right next to the door with their hand on the knob just incase someone unexpectedly happens by ( later episodes after they find out about the doorbell) or just standing by the phone with their hand on the receiver as soon as it rings. Then talking on the phone without ever pausing to give someone on the other end even a chance to breathe let alone answer. Mrs Jane is the worst.

[@josephthunderhorse8793]

The show was based on the movie "Follow that Dream"...with Elvis Presely ...that explains Jethro Elvisesque looks...and Jeds striking similarity to the movie version

[@tvcrazyman]

Makes sense. That's one of my favorite Elvis movies. Follow that Dream is a great song too.😀

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

Donna Douglas appeared with Elvis Presley in the 1966 film, Frankie and Johnny.

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

It was common to remove windshields in b/w pictures because of glare in close shots. Likewise, chrome and stainless were sprayed with a fogging agent to reduce glare.

[@wurly164]

Daisy Moses was grannies name. She was jeds mother in law and Ellie Mays grandmother. Pearl Bodine was a Clampett before being married to Jethros father. Therefore granny is NOT Jethro's grandmother

[@tvcrazyman]

Sounds right, but he did always call her Granny. I guess, she sort of adopted him.

[@markwilliamson2795]

I'll worry about you now...

[@RangerJohnreid]

Jed is granny’s son in law. Jed’s wife is dead. Ellie is Jed’s daughter. Granny is Ellie’s granddaughter. Jethro is not a Clampet. He’s a Bodine. His mother, Pearl, is Jed’s cousin. The money, at one point 66 million and in later episodes more, is in the bank under Jed’s name. It is understood by the family and Granny has a share (granny often says “my share of Jed’s money”), and it is mentioned that even Pearl Bodine has a share. Ellie is just assumed to be financially rich as she is Jed’s daughter. She never expresses an interest in the money.

[@Prospero812]

The author of this video was incorrect when he said he didn’t know why Ella Mae Clampett was so strong. Maybe it’s because of her sex appeal. The answer is was the fact all members of the Clampet family were hyper strong is because they ate possum grits and jowls.

I keep seeing that in the comments, but it says Missouri in wikipedia for the TV show. and it says Arkansas for the 1993 movie. I'm not sure if wiki is confused or the movie has caused some confusion on that point.

[@JamesShafer-p7t]

It was basicly a comedy done for the jokes. The car coming in with the fish bib they say anything of taking a fish to the Clampets? or just after they stop in front of the door. BUT maybe the production staff was on grannies tonic or failed to hire a person to check film continity. The car windows were removed for filming with out reflections of light, then witch car was avilable for the scene the person was not there to check if things matched.

[@tvcrazyman]

You are right they tried to remove glass to get rid of reflections back then. I'm just kind of making a joke of it, just a little bit.😀

[@wb3381]

Do you have any Barnaby Jones goofs?

[@tvcrazyman]

I started watching Barnaby Jones a little bit here and there. Maybe, I can find some and start doing some research on the show and see what kind of goofs they might have had. My mother used to watch that show a lot when I was a kid, which meant I used to watch it too, but not over and over again like the Beverly Hillbillies.

[@wb3381]

@tvcrazyman Check out Barnaby jones season 3 episode 13 (the last contract). Barnaby is getting shot at several times so he leaps downward like a young man. You probably can see the stunt double in slow motion

If that's wrong, I guess it might be the source was referring to the 93 movie. I seem to recall mention of the location being changed for that movie years ago on entertainment tonight or some special feature. At any rate, you can't win them all, I guess.
