Elly May likes Henry Gibson and Jethro plays Robin Hood
Volume 13 of "The Beverly Hillbillies" collection is a rather odd combination of episodes. Episode 51, "A Man for Elly" (January 1, 1964), turns out to be the rather shy Quirt Manly, played by Henry Gibson. You just know from the start that this one is not going to work out, although I guess he does sort of remind Elly Mae (Donna Douglas) of one of her critters. Episode 173, "Robin Hood and the Sheriff" (October 4, 1967) is really the second of two episodes dealing with the Jethro (Max Baer) dressing up like Robin Hood. In the previous episode when the Clampetts return from England Jethro, Elly and her chimp, Bessy, have moved out to Griffith Park to rob from the rich and give to the poor. There they meet up with a hippie named Buddy (Alan Reed, Jr.) and his girlfriend. In this particular episode everybody else on the show comes to park to try and find Jethro and Elly Mae. Buddy brings his hippie friends to party and the big goal becomes smoking crawdads. The police show up and when Granny (Irene Ryan) explains that she "needs a little pot" so she can smoke crawdads, you can imagine what happens next. The first episode is the better of the pair because it is more character driven than the comedy of errors and "drug humor" of the second.
