Yet another outrageous episode written by Mark Tuttle, the writer who truly made this series. I will say it again and again, when the show started filming in color the episodes became positively Insane. Prime example to follow...
Here, Jethro becomes an inventor! He wants to join the Air Force and is tinkering with some sort of flying rocket (with feathers???) that you can strap onto your body and jet into the air! Just plain nuts. Shifting gears, comes the opportunity where Jethro ALSO has the chance of becoming a rock star! He invents yet another device called the Bodine o' Phone, an amplified microphone tied to a long stick and attached to a box with lots of old radio tubes? Translation: a pile of LOUD junk.
Best of the best --and absolutely unforgettable -- is Miss Jane donning a long black wig and joining Jethro as the NEW Sonny and Cher. You have to see this to believe it, and Nancy Kulp's stone-face Cher is a sight to see.
Look for popular character actor Tom D'Andrea as Kingsley and veteran actor Thomas B. Henry as Mr. Matthews. Also another appearance for Judy the Chimp, as cousin Bessie, who appeared frequently on DAKTARI.
