just finished watching this episode again on my DVD and watching the part where Mr. Drysdale introduces them to the telephone got me to thinking-what do you think the Clampetts reaction would be to todays telephones?

Welllllllll doggggiieeeee........

How duz they get people in that there little box?

Reaction would probably be the same as my reaction, "Where do I talk into on this little thing?" I proudly still use a phone just like the Clampetts use except mine isn't beige. :D

how can you tell WHAT color their phone is if that episode's in black-and-white!

I hope you know the Beverly Hillbillies is also a color show starting with the 4th season. Just yesterday I saw an episode and yes the phone is beige (desk phone, dialing type of the '60's) and in the kitchen they have 2 phones a yellow wall phone (dialing type) and a beige desk phone on the kitchen table. Sharp eye breeds keen observation. ;)

OOPS!-OF COURSE; my mind must be off in space somewhere! (as Homer Simpson would say "DOH!!")
