Elly's First Date
Prismark101 May 2024
Even the studio audience gasped when they caught site of Louis Nye in this episode.

He plays Sonny Drysdale, the selfish self centered spoilt stepson of bank manager Mr Drysdale.

He has set up a blind date for his stepson with Elly May Clampett. Sonny does not want to go until he catches sight of her in the garden.

Then Sonny is madly excited as his mother does not need to persuade him anymore.

For the date, Sonny brings a gift for Elly May. A signed picture of himself. However things do not go well, Jed and Jethro hide his sports car. Then Elly May manages him to shove him in the ground after a misunderstanding.

By way of an apology the Clampetts invite the Drysdale for a Thanksgiving dinner. Only to find themselves snookered.

It is clear that Sonny is rather old for Elly May but Louis Nye is fun with the spoilt rich man persona. Much better than the Clampetts thinking the snooker table is a dining table gag.

I realize that Louis Nye was a big name in 1962, but the idea of his character, who's clearly pushing 40, dating Elly, who is in her teens, is kinda creepy.
