Speaking of seatbelts, I seem to recall Jethro buying an airline in one episode? With ropes for seatbelts? But it was in black and white so maybe I'm mistaken ...
Flipper, Gentle Ben, Petticoat Junction...but yes, the best of them all was the Beverly Hillbillies. Miss Jane! Granny! Thick as a plank Jethro! The ceeement pond! Hot dang!
Oh I just love your outpourings. Have you watched Question time recently,particularly David,the Twerk,Seymour- the question and stance and delivery are hilarious.
Us Fairfield Primary kids used to sing a filthy version of the Beverly Hillbillies theme tune. Can't remember much except the line "pants down ready for a fuck". Maybe one of your readers can help?
I was more partial to M*A*S*H than the Beverly Hillbillies, TBH. There's a few parallels to be joined there, come to think of it... Frank Burns comes to mind.
Love your Mum's sense of humour, and thanks for the flashback: Some of my teenage dreams involved wrestling bouts between and with Jeannie (Barbara Eden) & Elly May (Donna Douglas).

Skip to 18:30 for Granny tying a 'granny knot' as the seat-belt innovation.
Thanks for that. That was fun reading. Have you considered embedding tweets rather than taking screenshots?
Oh good point Mirko. Thanks, I'll see what options I have on the editor.
Then readers will click off into Twitter land and you'll never get them back. Stick with the images.

Then there was the one where Jethro wanted to join the army so he bought himself a tank. What could possibly go wrong dang it?

Granny Clampett used to scare the crap out of me, as a young fella.
Can confirm I much enjoyed the Beverly Hillbillies.
