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.

Precisely!

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

treky · 07-09-2007, 03:23 AM

Jethro-he's telling Jed, Elly and Granny about a flamingo he saw in the back (which he calls "a big, pink chicken")

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")

Jethro also used the "Cement Pond" for a car wash. lol!

treky · 07-10-2007, 02:13 AM

what episode was that in? I don't remember that.

treky · 07-10-2007, 02:19 AM

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.

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)?

Maynard · 06-15-2008, 10:58 AM

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.
