Another original episode all about what to do with Uncle Jed? Sitting around the mansion and having his millions work for him gets him to thinking... Why not go to work and become a useful citizen?
Jed heads over to the employment office and lands a job as a trash man. More over, he's impressed with what he has to do! Of course, Mr. Drysdale is beside himself and --BEGS-- Jed 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? Real goofy stuff, and as usual Jethro steals the scenes.
Very well written, with some clever touches. The opening finds Mr. Drysdale secretly gazing at x-rated pictures of "naked" gold bars. That's a series first. Directed by Guy Scarpitta, long time producer of DOBIE GILLIS. GREEN ACRES and PETTICOAT JUNCTION. It's amazing Guy had time to direct anything.
Great support from series regular Frank Wilcox, very popular tv actor, and Barry Kelley, best known for playing Carol's dad on MISTER ED, and just as grumpy. Kelley has a funny closing drunk scene on the back of the Clampett's buggy.
Classic episode from SEASON 5 EPISODE 10. Remastered color. 4 dvds. Released 2018.
