    More good news for that poor mountaineer and the Clampett clan!

    That one is available uncut on the Columbia House VHS set, so it's not a huge biggie. I noticed when watching it the other evening that one has the 90's Viacom syndication, so I started watching closely and that was the only one I noticed. I'm glad to see confirmation that nothing else is uncut...

    Favorite Christmas Episodes

    I noticed Foster in a cameo at the tail end of a S9 episode of The Beverly Hillbillies playing your average "man on the street" who was playing straight to the zaniness surrounding the bank.

    More good news for that poor mountaineer and the Clampett clan!

    Actually it was Shorty. Drysdale thought he was worth $200 million and decided to throw him a "wild Hollywood party" which included the slave auction. You may be thinking of "Simon Legree Drysdale" where the woman's brothers think Drysdale is using her as a slave. Shorty wasn't in that one...

    More good news for that poor mountaineer and the Clampett clan!

    The story is ONE viewer took objection to the slave girl auction scene in the bank and complained on their Facebook page. Quite a few of us went to bat for the episode saying it in no way promoted slavery and was in no way offensive, yet they ignored those with the differing opinion and said...

    More good news for that poor mountaineer and the Clampett clan!

    Yeah, I'm still alive, I have hit a snag on collecting for a bit plus there hasn't been any movement on my holy grail and I've been concentrating a lot on my hobby of music. I had posted earlier this year that PlutoTV was showing some of the unreleased seasons of The Beverly Hillbillies...

    Your Favorite TV Themes/Songs

    Everyone knows my favorite show, so it's no big secret it would be my favorite theme song. I decided to do the honor of a short pick and grin of it on the guitar:

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    I really need to watch the series. Our local radio station used the Merle Haggard song as a snippet for a commercial long before I knew there was a TV series. I remember Claude from B.J. and The Bear and The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo, so seeing him in a role where he isn't a comedian or...

    Rare shows uncut on streaming services

    It's actually S6, first airing on Jan. 31, 1968, episode 23 of that season. It's Jerry Randall, a man, portraying The Boston Strong Girl, and a woman's voice is dubbed in like they did with Jethrine. I *think* they have Linda Henning doing the speaking, but I'm not sure. IMDB doesn't have a...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    And one of the most memorable lines in the series from Granny: "that boy don't know what sex he's opposite of!"

    There may be hope yet for the Clampetts!

    I don't have a clue what Pluto is doing. I've been noticing skipped episodes as they go through the run. Still no S8 or S9; I can live with that if I have to. What is odd is that every episode with Flatt and Scruggs is being skipped as are the ones with Cousin Roy. I would almost say it's...

    There may be hope yet for the Clampetts!

    So I decided to do a little checking since I have the Columbia House tapes and see what episodes I currently have unedited besides the obvious DVD releases. I didn't realize I had this much! S04 E32 "Jethro Goes to College." Yes, that is on the DVD release, but they've snipped out some of the...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    I remember an interview or a quote from Norman Fell in which he talked about the clause in his contract to be able to come back to the parent show. He said that he thought the only reason it got the extra half season was so that they wouldn't have to bring them back. Again, I don't deny it...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    I took a break from The Beverly Hillbillies and watched The Ropers and Three's A Crowd on PlutoTV. I vaguely remember The Ropers from when I watched it as a kid. Solid comedy that should have went longer. Having the neighbors to play off of was hilarious; Jeffrey P. Brookes III hurt his back...

    There may be hope yet for the Clampetts!

    I'm already decorated. If they took an x-ray of my head it would show a Christmas tree where my brain should be! I'm going to consider having these available to watch as my Christmas and birthday both. A fun fact: I share the same birthday as Max Baer, Jr., December 4th! It's also the birthday...

    There may be hope yet for the Clampetts!

    That is correct, fellas! Funny thing is that is my "go to" episode when I start decorating for Christmas. I started that a few years ago; it had been the Hooterville Christmas episode before that. I'm happier than a pig in a mud waller right now!
