Beverly Hillbillies fans...what did they call the swimming pool? The cement pond? It just doesn't sound right.
Thanks!!

I think it's because the swimming pools outer shell was made out of cement.

So they were very hickey when they went to the mansion and figured that the pool was a cement pond.

that's right, and they thought the diving board was a board to sit on when you went fishing.

Who was the first person in the cast to use the term "cement pond"?

Jethro-he's telling Jed, Elly and Granny about a flamingo he saw in the back (which he calls "a big, pink chicken"):lol: :lol: :lol: and when Jed asks him where, he says "over by the cee-ment pond". Jed says "the what"? and he says "Uncle Jed, there's an honest-to-goodness cee-ment pond out back! With steps at one end sos the cattle kin walk raght down into it and get a drink"! (the others also think it's a "big, pink chicken"):lol: :lol:

there was another episode where someone asked Jed where Elly was; and he replied "She's down by the cement pond". They said "The what"? then "Oh,, you must mean the swimming pool". Jed said "Yea, I guess you could call it that. Elly and Jethro goes swimming in it".

Sorry I don't know the episode or season. Jethro was trying to find a way to make some money and he came up with the carwash idea. He lowers the truck into the pool and then can't get it out. It was pretty funny. :lol:

At first, I thought a cement pond was a pond which contains cement instead of water. There ain't no way I would go swimming inside cement.

Does anyone know how deep the pool was? Was it just a glorified wading pool (despite the presence of a diving board)?

On the show it had to be deep because they went scuba diving in it, but in reality it was only about two feet deep.
