Jethro Goes to School

The Biblical principle is Appearances, and the key scripture is
John 7:24: "Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment."

Jethro makes the grade - fifth to be exact - against the wishes of the snooty principal! Then tall Jethrine falls for a short new beau, whom Pearl thinks just doesn't measure up. As Jethro gets enrolled and Jethrine gets engaged, everyone learns that appearances don't make the person!

The Servants

The Biblical principle is Acceptance, and the key scripture is
Romans 15:7: Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Get served a heap of hospitality as Mr. Drysdale asks the Clampetts to board his servants in a secret effort to sophisticate the Hillbillies! But the plan comes apart when the help heads for the hills - ironically. Jed juggles to make everyone feel accepted in a full house of different folks!

The Girl From Home

The Biblical principle is Love, and the key scripture is
1 Corinthians 13:4: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

This episode proposes the story of Jethro's proposal to a girl - according to her father, that is. Actually, the girl is in love with another boy, and the father is in love with Jed's fortune. Before Jed figures out who wants what, Jethro gets marriage on his mind for all the wrong reasons!

The Clampetts Go Hollywood

The Biblical principle is Idols, and the key scripture is
Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below."

Introducing "Cousin" Jake Clampett - a would-be actor with the same last name who cons Jed into producing a film. Soon Elly looks like Marilyn Monroe, while Jethro mimics Marlon Brando. As his family follows false idols, Jed sees a monster movie of a whole new kind!
