Bodine

Jean notes:
"Umm, wasn't the Jethro on "The Beverly Hillbillies" actually called Jethro
Bodine, not Jethro Clampett?  He was a cousin or something?  Or am I having
another one of my little spells?
 
Curiouser and curiouser"


It is another Kute Korrespondence.  I do believe that Bodine was Jethro's
family name (as it was, I think, of "Pearl" Bodine, putatively Jethro's
aunt and matriarch of PETTICOAT JUNCTION).  But Pig's debut in "Low-Lands"
in 1960 predates the show, I think.
