** Those only vaguely familiar with the characters also tend to refer to Jethro as "Jethro Clampett" - even though he's not Jed's son but his nephew and regularly goes by "Jethro Bodine" throughout the show's run.

** California was a popular place to move to in the 1960s for the rich and famous, but with California undergoing a cost-of-living crisis and climate-driven water scarcity in the early 20th century, the Clampetts would nowadays be more likely to move to states like Texas or Arizona.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This is a show made primarily in the 1960s, so this is a given.
** In the first episode, the oil company employee asks the Clampetts for a telephone, and they are so out of touch with technology, they find the concept ridiculous. Nowadays, with the ubiquity of cellphones, the joke would be harder to pull off: the employee would have cell phones and the Clampetts would likely encounter them, even in the hinterlands of Arkansas.

* ValuesDissonance: While an old woman defending Dixie is pretty normal in the 1960s, Granny's love of the Confederates would not nearly be defended.

* PlayingAgainstType: While playing the part of a [[Film/ErnestPWorrell dim-witted backwoods yokel]] was certainly nothing new for Creator/JimVarney and in fact almost resulted in him not getting the part, his performance of Jed is vastly different from that of Ernest; he plays the character mostly straight and while he has very limited understandings of modern civilization, he is much more intelligent and less gullible then Ernest and is not afraid to be firm when the situation calls for it. He manages to channel the likability afforded to the character by Creator/BuddyEbsen while giving a great performance in the role, even able to give sentimentality in one scene where he talks to Ellie May about having to raise her without a Ms. Clampett. Jim's background as a Shakespearian actor allowed him a much bigger range of performances than most people think.
