Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Just before the fourth season got underway, Mrs. Kirkeby apparently broke the agreement her late husband had made with Filmways Productions, since the mansion's address was leaked and caused an endless stream of tourists to come to the mansion looking for Jed and Granny. Filmways was not allowed to film the mansion's exterior or film any long shots of the mansion grounds after that. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In a number of season one and season two episodes, location/establisher footage showed Jane Hathaway's first car, a 1962 Plymouth convertible, but in some cases the scene would immediate cut to a close up of her arriving in a 1963 or '64 Dodge. more
Quotes:

Male Bank Robber Also Masquerading: He's a double-zero if I ever saw one.

The most entertaining show., 29 September 2000
Author: geezermc (geezermc@hotmail.com) from Poway, CA USA

The "Hillbillies" has vaudville like gags. Nothing but pure comedy. Just plain great. It's stood the test of time.

The casting was perfect. Buddy Ebsen is a favorite. Donna Douglas is the most beautiful woman I've seen. Could be my favorite TV show of all time.
