Just loved the episodes where Jethro was trying to be a double nought spy and a playboy. I recently saw Jetho's playboy ep last weekend and its still so funny.

[hubbabubba]

The Attack on Culpepper Plantation.

Granny is convinced the the north is starting another uprising and that General Grant still lives. I howl at her antics. But honestly the show had so many great episodes it virtually impossible to name just one

[kck]

The Giant Jackrabbit was a hit for me and the rest of the country.

[pontoon]

...but the one where Jethro strapped a buncha skyrockets to his back!

When they were lit...and Jethro went up into the sky, Granny exclaims "OOOOOOoooooohhhhhh, I wish it were night!"

I haven't seen it in a while...but just thinkin' about Granny and that line STILL cracks me up!

Oh...and ANY episode with 'Jetherine'! I loved the way they dubbed another voice in to have him sound like a woman!

Any episode with Mrs Drysdale.
And any episode with Jethro as a playboy, agent, or double naught spy.
The Beverly Caterers episode(s).
The episodes with the cabin out in the back.
Any episode featuring the cement pond predominantly.
The episodes with Cynthia Fenwick (I think that was her last name) and her mother.
Gloria Swanson episode.
Possum Queen episodes.
The episodes with the beatniks (or were they hippies?)
I cant stop........ the time when...

[cablejockey]

Cynthia Fenwick.......I forgot how wonderful that character was. Wasn't she one of Elly-Mae's classmates at the private girls school? Cynthia's accent, it had a name, for some rich people's enclave. It sounded like she was talking without moving her jaw.Mrs. Drysdale always sounded funny because of the way she talked. I'll always hear her and her signature line, "Milburn---thoses dreadful hillbillies!"

[baronzzz]

Glad to know there's another Cynthia fan out there! Those affected hoity-toity accents that she and others had were hysterical (at least to me).

[gwizard]

The episodes with the beatniks (or were they hippies?)

There were both. The beatniks were on an earlier episode (where they opened the "Parthenon West" coffee shop, etc. in the basement of the bank building). There were hippies in some later episodes (the one where Jethro thinks he's Robin Hood, and the one where the rest of the family goes to Silver Dollar City and Jethro becomes a flower child).

My fave episodes are the ones where Jethro is a playboy and a double nought spy and a playboy, the one where Granny makes the bet with Elverna Bradshaw that Elly would get married before Victoria Rose "Bigmouth" Bradshaw (in Silver Dollar City), the one where Jethro becomes Robin Hood, and "Giant Jackrabbit".

I don't know the titles of the episodes, but here goes...

My favorites were the 1st episodes when they 1st moved into the mansion! Wherein they thought the grounds keepers were convicts in a prison, they couldn't figure out the doorbell, etc...!

I also loved their 1st airplane trip when they thought the aircraft was a big bus!

Another episode that causes me to laugh uncontrollably is the court episode involving the traffic accident in front of the Commerce Bank.

"That Old Black Magic" Absolutely hilarious episode where Mrs. Drysdale again ends up a victim of the Clampett's "good intentions"
The episode where the beatnik artist moves into the house after his car accident and starts calling Jed "Daddy" etc and then paints Granny's portrait..absolutely priceless

[wayman]

These are a few of my favorite episodes.

-Possum Day
-The Possum Day Parade
-The Indians Are Coming
-The Diner
-Topless Anyone?
-The Great Snow
-The Rass'lin' Clampetts
-The Great Tag-Team Match
-The Jogging Clampetts

I also like the Great Britain episodes and the episodes where the Clampetts set up shop on one of the floors of Mr. Drysdale's bank. Both storylines carried over several episodes.

[treky]

I like the pilot, ecspesially when they first move in. And the one after that!
Also, "THE GREAT FUED"-I think that's the name, the one where they want to start a fued with the Drysdales, because Sonny Drysdale "jilted" Elly May. (as Jerry Scroggins sang at the beggining "SWEET ELLY MAY'S BEEN COURTED; BUT TH' DARLIN' AIN'T BEEN CHURCHED") and a lot more of those early episodes.

================================
everley Hillbillies episode in which (for some reason connected with
the Drysdales) a Beat Poet from San Francisco was staying with the
Clampetts.

One day Granny found the poet standing on his head against a wall. He
told her he was meditating; when she asked why he told her (more or
less), "When I meditate, my brains soar." So she explained that it
was sore because all his blood was rushing to it, and pulled him
down.

He was a bit upset, and told her that was how he wrote his poetry.
She asked if he'd written a poem; he told her he had, and recited it
(and this part I've committed to memory):

Blue cheesecake
A silver spoon in the sand
The seaweed barks at me.

So she turned him upside down again, and left him there to write a
better one.
