THE RETURN OF LOWELL FARQUHAR.
One thing for sure, series writer Mark Tuttle is to be credited for the name "Farquhar," which has become a classic tv name in many later sitcoms.
Lowell Farquhar is played by legendary screen comedian Charlie Ruggles, who appeared three times on the show. The story has it that he dated Granny (years ago) and happens to be Mrs. Drysdale's father! Sooo... Mr. Drysdale calls on his big businessman father-in-law to come between Granny and crafty Mr. Cushing (played by Roy Roberts), who once again wants the Clampetts -- especially Granny--- to move all their millions into HIS bank. What a devious character who we all love.
Fun stuff with two memorable guest stars, Roy Roberts and Charlie Ruggles. They both steal the show with their share of goofy dialogue, especially Charlie and his scenes with Granny.
By the way, if Granny marries Lowell, Mrs. Drysdale will become her step daughter. Positively insane!
10 stars for all this talent. Look for model and actress Jo Ann Pflug in a bit role at the pool with Jethro and Jed, who won eight beauty contests before coming to Hollywood.
Question; How many cups of coffee does Jed drink at the kitchen table per episode?
SEASON 5 EPISODE 11 remastered color. 4 dvd box set. Released 2018. Catch the super cover family portrait. In class all by itself.
