» » The Beverly Hillbillies Jethro Goes to School (1962–1971)

Short summary

Jed enrolls Jethro at an exclusive Beverly Hills elementary school. Millicent Schuyler-Potts, the proprietor of the school, is aghast when Jed and Jethro show up, convinced this is part of some ghastly hoax. After Jed says that banker Milburn Drysdale is his neighbor, she calls the banker. It turns out that Drysdale's bank holds the mortgage on the school. Schulyer-Potts suddenly warms to the charms of the Clampetts, even if it means accepting Jethro as a fifth grader.

Jethro's birthday is December 4th.

Cousin Pearl is shown pricking her finger on the needle of her sewing machine. This may be an in-joke referencing the fact that guest-star Eleanor Audley had provided the voice of Maleficent in Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959). The actress playing Cousin Pearl - Bea Benaderet - was herself the original voice of Betty Rubble in The Flintstones (1960-1964).
