Where To Watch
Can you understand all this beatnik slang from The Beverly Hillbillies?
Are you hep or are you square, Daddy-O?
CBS Television Distribution
In The Beverly Hillbillies episode "Clampett A-Go-Go," a hipster named Sheldon Epps ends up in the Clampett mansion after trying to sell his artwork to the Drysdales. With his dirty sweatshirt and facial hair, he resembled Maynard G. Krebs (Bob Denver) of The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, the most well-known beatnik in classic TV.
Sheldon has goo-goo eyes for Elly May, while Jed and the rest of the Clampett clan struggle to understand a single word he says.
Do you think you can dig the slang that "Shelly" is spewing?
See if you can translate these actual bits of dialogue from the sitcom!

Sheldon Epps was played by the son of the voice of Fred Flintstone, Alan Reed, Jr.
I was confusing sputnik with beatnik.

10out of 13. Not too bad.I haven’t seen that episode in a long time
9/13 I don't recall this episode. Appears to be a early B&W one. I do remember the hippie "smokin' crawdads" one and it was one of my favorites!
I have a great memory and I've watched them all multiple multiple times over the years. I don't think this one made it to syndication, for good reason it would seem.
