10 Stars.
Another REAL off the wall episode about what to do with Uncle Jed? Sitting around the mansion and having his millions do all the work gets him to thinking... Why not get a job? A JOB?
Jed heads over to the employment office and lands a job as a trash man. More over, he loves it! Of course, Mr. Drysdale goes nuts and --BEGS HIM -- to serve on the board of directors for the OK Oil Company. It's all about appearance. The rest is insane. Jed mixes with big shots Mr. Brewster (Frank Wilcox) and stuffy E. W. Brachner (Barry Kelley), who can't believe what the heck is going on.
Best part finds Jethro taking over the oil company jet as pilot and Granny as the stewardess? Goofy stuff, and Jethro is a scene stealer.
A SERIES FIRST -- catch the opening. Mr. Drysdale is secretly gazing at x-rated pictures of "naked" gold bars. Amazing. Directed by Guy Scarpitta, long time producer for DOBIE GILLIS, GREEN ACRES and PETTICOAT JUNCTION.
Great support from series regular Frank Wilcox, popular tv actor Barry Kelley, best known for playing Carol's dad on MISTER ED, and just as grumpy. Kelley has a funny and surprising closing drunk scene on the back of the Clampett's buggy.
SEASON 5 EPISODE 10. Remastered color. CBS box set, 4 dvds. Released 2018. Catch the classic family cover.
