Episode Summary

Elly May is set up with Sonny Drysdale, who is at first unsure about it until he sees her by the pool. At the mansion, Elly is learning about courting and sparking. When they meet, the date ends very soon, after Sonny tries to kiss Elly's hand, but she thinks he is trying to bite her. He runs away to his mother, and the Clampetts visit to make peace. At the end, the Drysdales join the Clampetts for Thanksgiving supper.moreless

    For any series, there are good characters and bad characters, and in the case of the Beverly Hillbillies, Sonny Drysdale was one of the most illogical, ridiculous and most far-fetched characters to date. I mean, how dense could this character be? A middle-aged college student, he thinks every girl wants him, so he's more than mystified when Elly doesn't fall to his "charms." The Clampetts don't understand him, Mr. Drydale understands him way too much, but Mrs. Drysdale is the worst influence by catering to his personality and indulging him. Thank god he never appeared again after the first season, although I highly suspect Soupy Sales as the nephew Lance Bradford was based on him.moreless
