** 20th Century Fox was initially against Penelope Spheeris' idea of casting Creator/JimVarney as Jedd Clampett, wanting Creator/SamElliot in the role as they thought Varney was too well-known as Ernest P. Worrell and likely thought he would play the part as such. However Varney gave such an impressive screen test that Spheeris got her way and as such, Varney's performance as Jedd is one of the best things about the film.

** Originally; Bea Benaderet was intended to play Granny before Irene Ryan won the role on the strength of her audition. Benaderet, as mentioned under YouLookFamiliar, would eventually play Cousin Pearl before moving on to sister show ''Series/PetticoatJunction'' as Kate Bradley.
