The Dining Room

People loved the little jokes that were fused into the show. The Clampett family used the billiard room as their dining room, and subsequently had a pool table for their dining table! In addition, the group assumed that the large rhino head hung up on the wall must be an animal called a billiard, since it was the focal point of the room. These little jokes lastd throughout the series, since they were jokes that were totally unbeknownst to the characters themselves.

Like Mother Like Son

Mother-son duo Mrs. Drysdale and Sonny Drysdale had a lot in common, but many people didn’t’ know that they were pretty close in age, too! Even though Sonny Drysdale (played by Louis Nye) was supposedly much younger than his mother, the real people were only eight years apart in age! Most people didn’t question the choice of casting, but it was pretty apparent that Louis was much older than he should have been. These days, that probably wouldn’t go down so well.
