Jed Clampett: Don't seem like a very sportin' way to fish. I reckon when you got all these men to feed, you can't fool around with no worm on a bent pin.
- Crazy creditsDonna Douglas now announces "This has been a Filmways Presentation." Buddy Ebsen previously said it from Seasons 1-3.

Featured review
FIRST COLOR EPISODE.
Finally! The show was photographed in color, beginning with the fourth season, and something magical happened. I think the episodes became even more outrageous. This is a prime example, and the reason series writer Mark Tuttle stood with the series so long.
Once again a simple story gone haywire. Mr. Drysdale wants Jed to buy a yacht and join the elite yacht club. Jed gets his hands on an admiral's uniform -- and goes shopping for a boat. Taking a "slight" detour, the Clampetts arrive at the U. S. Navy shipyard instead. Which battleship will Jed buy???
Over the top stuff, and I agree with the last reviewer, there's some funny military lingo written between the lines. Jed asks one of the crew members, who thinks he's a REAL admiral, where Mr. Drysdale is? "Is he supposed to be here, sir? The sailor asks. "Yes!" The sailor gulps, "Then HE IS!" Spot on military talk. Whatever is supposed to be done is DONE. There is no other answer.
Super scene with Mr. Drysdale and Miss Jane, searching the harbor for Jed and Granny. Drysdale asks a boat operator (popular actor Ray Kellogg) how much he charges. Knowing that he's desperate, the operator says $35.00 an hour -- which would be about 344 dollars an hour today. Yikes!
Look for former child actor Frank "Junior" Coghlan, Jr playing the helmsman. Frank, famous for his freckled face, became an overnight star in silent films, later as an adult played CAPTAIN MARVEL in the legendary 1940s serial.
This episode runs fast and is full of gags. A must see. SEASON 4 EPISODE 1 remastered color dvd box set. Check out the classic color cover photo.
