Wacky continuation of the last episode where Jethro gets drafted and Mr. Drysdale is arrested (as field marshal Von Hindenburg?)
Jethro officially reports to the U. S. Army induction office. Here's the wild catch... Because of all the unbelievable stuff that happened with he and Mr. Drysdale at Griffith Park and their army tank -- the army psychiatrist (played by King Donovan),
thinks Jethro is trying to psyche him out to make everyone believe he's 100 percent NUTS.
Excellent comedy writing by series regular Paul Henning, the dialogue totally off the wall. Best of it is the appearance of Paul Ford, known for CAR 54. Ford plays the astounded army colonel who -- INSTEAD -- thinks Jethro is some kind of a military genius in disguise? The colonel even salutes him.
Director Joseph Depew does a super job with this scene. Watch how it all ends, and yes, Jethro climbs back in his army tank. Again, poetic license 101 at work. How did an army tank just roll onto military property unchecked?
Don't miss Judy the chimp, making another appearance, with lots of dogs, cats and other animals who pile out of Miss Jane's car.
SEASON 6 EPISODE 7. According to Amazon, there is no dvd box set for seasons 6 through 9. However, a projected release year (2027) has been announced with remastered color copies on blu ray. Thanks again to METV for running this incredible sitcom seven days a week.
