Jethro decides on a career in food. He does have the experience at the kitchen table, so why not open a restaurant? Actually, not a bad idea, and with "some" help from Mr. Drysdale.
Another bananas story, written especially for Max Baer, who runs away with it. Drysdale arranges for Jethro to take over a condemned Beverly Hills diner for $35.00 a month! Amazing, and how many condemned diners are there near Rodeo Drive? Jethro fixes up the place (not looking too bad), dons a gigantic chef's hat and starts cooking, with some help from Granny. No Jethro story would be complete without lovely ladies. Playboy model Venita Wolf (as Suzy) stops by and Joan Huntington portrays Lois. She had a long career in tv, appearing shows like, BURKES LAW and PERRY MASON.
Top writing from Mark Tuttle, always coming up with creative ways to keep Jethro occupied. The curious thing here is with someone as OUTRAGEOUS as Jethro -- this could have been the one business opportunity that worked, making him like the next Colonel Sanders of Beverly Hills?
For all us animal lovers, Judy the chimp guest stars. She was a regular on DAKTARI, also LOST IN SPACE.
Super notes; listen for the PETTICOAT JUNCTION train whistle, and we find out Jed carries about $200,000 in petty cash! Good trivia question.
10 Stars for Jethro, who NEVER ever gives up. Inspiration for all us kids at heart.
SEASON 6 EPISODE 19. According to Amazon, season 6 through 9 will be remastered on blu ray and should be released in 2027. Thanks to CATCHY TV and METV for running this classic sitcom all the time.
