You know that someone like Arthur Treacher, the ideal gentleman among gentlemen had to appear on the show.
It's "another" family makeover as frustrated Mr. Drysdale wants to bring some class to the Clampetts, and PERHAPS it will rub off! He recruits his own butler, Mr. Pinckney (Treacher) to teach Jed, Granny, Ellie May and Jethro the "art" of being prim and proper, including a new wardrobe!
Good luck!
The best scenes have Mr. Pinckney attempting to dress Jed in a new suit. Jed scoffs, "You'll have to SHOOT me first before you dress me!" There's also a running gag when every time Mr. Drysdale and Miss Jane enter the mansion, poor Pinckney is hanging by his supenders from the stairway, though always a class act.
Arthur Treacher, better known as Hollywood's favorite butler, is a hoot to watch, fondly remembered for his appearances opposite Shirley Temple in so many classic films we all grew up on. They are rerun constantly, and to this day. Previously to this episode, Arthur played the constable in MARY POPPINS, which would be his final film. He appeared many times on the MERV GRIFFIN SHOW with lots of great Hollywood stories. He also served in World War I, and made his film debut in 1929.
Look for Judy, the famous chimp, playing Cousin Bessie. Judy appeared on the series in over 40 episodes, also a featured in DAKTARI and LOST IN SPACE.
Always top direction by veteran sitcom director Joseph Depew, credited for making the show the #1 series on tv at the time.
A must for Treacher buffs. You won't be disappointed. SEASON 3 EPISODE 11 remastered.
