Granny Gets A Trunk With Presents From Cousin Pearl
Everybody hates the phone company!
Satire of the phone company on one level; silly fun humor on another level. Granny claims to have spent hours at her home in the hills listening in on her party line phone. But if you watch the series' first few episodes in season one, neither the Clampetts nor anyone else had a telephone - the nearest one was 40 miles away! Despite this plot flaw, apparently the Beverly Hills phone company does not have party lines anymore. Drysdale tries to berate and intimidate the phone people - with predictable results. A classic episode illustrating the conflicts between the Clampetts and the world of Beverly Hills.
