I think he's a genuine nice guy. He did some funny, funny stuff on Beverly Hillbillies. He added a lot of joy to millions of Americans. I always wish him good health and happiness.
It wasn't thinking about this but I'm glad you pop this thought in my head. I sure miss the old days but not to the point of being bullied from time to time by anti gay homophobes
When I was 12 years old 1972. He was signing autographs at a Celebrity baseball game Irvine Calif.. As I handed him Paper for an autograph, he was holding a whole sandwich in 1 hand, a beer in the other. He shoved the sandwich in one bite, held the beer in his lips and graciously signed autograph to me. He is a Big Man with a Big Heart.
There was nothing funnier than an afternoon of Beverly Hillbillies, Adams Family, Get Smart and a few others. What a way to come home from grammar school. I’m so glad I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. Nothing like that with todays tv, it’s all bad vibes.
Wow!! What a trio of talent, Rip to all actores from the show that left us ..always a big fan since the late 70s and into the 21st century.. what a joy to see them together and that whistle from Donna ..always on point..
I remember watching 👀 "The Beverly Hillbillies " when I was a little girl. I remember the show coming on in the mid morning around 11:00 AM. I loved the show it was HILLARIOUS!
What a fun show that was each and every actor played their parts so well they were so believable. I think that Max Bear is the coolest name going, he still looks great.
He sure loved his daddy. One interesting story was when Max Jr indicated to dad that he wanted to box himself. Max Sr. , who was dead set against this, had to show Jr. what it was like to face a professional boxer. Jr. stuck with acting from that day on.
You can see the love that Max Baer had/has for his dad. I wish I would have had a dad like that. It's so sad that he lost him at such an early age. Life can be so, so cruel sometimes.
I read a story that Max Baer Jr's dad Max Sr's. punch as a boxer was so powerful that one of his opponents died from being knocked out, and the story indicated that the deceased boxers brain stem was broken loose. Max Jr.is a class act and a great actor.
@@stevekelley7738 his father is accredited with killing two men in the ring. One died in the ring one died in a fight 2 months later but it was credited to him because it was a blood clot that was caused by Max.😮
@@nofilteralltruth Yes, it was 2 men, but in both cases (especially the last) they cannot be definitively "accredited" to Baer Sr. Jr. has argued this point in defense of this dad for years, and I am persuaded he is correct. Others may and do disagree, but his having held the championship for so short a time seems to negate the reputed power of his punches, and highlights the frailties and weaknesses of some of his opponents. . My opinion.
I still watch this show at 58 .. I first watched it at my grandmas house in Arkansas which I spent summers there growing up. I have probably watched every episode and I laugh every time I watch..hilarious 🤙🏼
Now's the time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin, he would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in, you're all invited back next week to this locality, to have a heaping helpin of their hospitality! I couldn't help it.
So was Ken Curtis who played Festus. Gracie Allen was also a very smart cookie. Loved her a lot...totally bummed as a child when I heard of her death in 1964. She obviously retired in 57 for medical reasons.
Max Baer's movie, Macon Count Line, held the record for years as the lowest budgeted movie that grossed the most money. I think it was Blair Witch Project that shot it out of the saddle. MCL still has a cult following to this day. Also, Ode to Billie Joe, which he purchased the rights to turn it into a movie, made for TV I think as that's where I saw it, was brilliant. Ties up a lot of loose ends in the song. He is a stout one, too. Buddy Ebson credited him with saving his life on the set of BH, when a stunt went wrong and the old truck would have crushed him had "Jethro" not held it up off him. He's really quite a guy. One of my faves. No one could have played the part of Jethro with as much verve.
Actually I do believe Night of the Living Dead had grossed more but I could be wrong. That film costs all of 2500 dollars to make. It went on the make money in 77 different countries. It is up there for sure.
@@blu3collar949 I think it is in the running, but wiki says the budget was set at $100K but ended up at $114K. Also, its U.S.box office earnings -- 12-15mil --came after a decade. $30 mil internationally, but doesn't say in what span of time. In earnings in relation to costs of production ratio, It could very well be, but I read somewhere Macon County Line held that record, and have heard Baer say so himself in an interview. Interesting about Night..., though. Thanks for bringing it up. At any rate, Blair Witch Project, which looks like it was shot on a cell phone, kicks both their butts. LOL
"Jethro Bodine" one of the funniest characters ever on TV, there hasn't been anything on TV like him since and probably will never be again, the " Golden Age of T V" gone but not forgotten, well done Max Baer, Jr f orever "Jethro "..
I saw Max play in a celebrity softball game on TV. Man, he got a hold of one and sent it into orbit. He was a big strong man. Then, I believe, he went on to be a very big Hollywood director/producer.
Macon County Line did $30,000,000 at the box office. It cost only $225,000 to make. That's merit by any definition. Baer co-wrote, produced, and starred in the film. Two years later he directed and produced Ode to Billy Joe that returned over $36M on a budget of $1.1M. I'd say there's some merit there. That being said, with many thousands of people active in the movie business and very few at the top at any given time, I do not think Max Baer Jr has ever qualified as "big time". His bitterness more likely stemmed from getting almost no money from the Beverly Hillbillies show being syndicated.
The rehearsals necessary to carry that show's timing off! The genius to stay in character. It might've all seemed slap-stick . . . but they all stayed in character . . . made it so that they weren't "slap-stick". They were innocence in a world that bordered on insanity. Genius . . . the authors, directors, performers. Even the laugh track was not out of place.
Even though Max Baer Jr was Typecast as Jethro and could no longer find acting roles, he moved over to producing and directing and was quite successful! His current net worth is over 50 million dollars!
Serves as a great example that the world changes and people have to adapt. He could have sat around and whined about it in poverty or done the sad alternative of showing up at county fairs as a has-been like so many other stars of the 60s have done. He chose to change with the times instead of cry about it.
I never knew Max Baer, Jr. had such ambition! The man is very intelligent and focused on "seeing a job all the way thru" (Good advice). I have much more respect for this man -now being the only surviving member of the original cast of "TBH". Also, thank you very much for these viewings elliottnick.
Apparently his idea for a theme park never got off the ground. Perhaps the price to do it was unficable. Buying land in Hollywood was unbelievably high priced even back when this was filmed.
It pleases me greatly to see Max doing so well, for so reason so dummies stread he died young/sad end rubbish. I wish the TV people could make good comedy's like this, maybe can't find the great talent.
Those were the days and I miss it so much. I wish people weren't so offended by everything today and could be more like we used to be in earlier times. The Beverly Hillbillies was among my favorite shows then & now. The Clampett's misinterpretation of everything made the show as funny as it was but they weren't dumb people. They simply had a no-nonsense approach to "LIFE".
My great grandfather was a sports turf reporter for the LA Times. He knew Max Baer Sr personally. He celebrated with him with cigars when Max Baer Jr was born. I had an old photo in my baby book of a photo of Max Baer Sr and his wife in front of a Christmas tree from the forties. I always wondered it's significance. My mom told me that Max Sr had given it to her grandfather. Wish I still had it!
Video quality, no problem. I grew up with old TV's that almost had perpetual vertical or horizontal roll. We had to adjust the picture almost every five minutes. None of us ever knew that all we had to do was put a new tube in it, because we never had new tubes. So this quality picture is even better than what we grew up watching. Thanks for uploading!
D.E.B. B , hey--We had the Same TV! The only Difference was, my pop did TV/Radio repair on the side; he Knew Which Tube prolly needed replacing. And ten year old Me got to go With him to the store and 'Help' him work the vacuum tube battery tester there, just as ubiquitous in the late 1950's as the ATMs are today!
Yes, I remember the tube tester well. Us kids would walk around the town on garbage day, looking for old TV's that were being thrown out, and would pull all the tubes out and take them home. Then dad would drive us to the Nedisco store (our electronics chain in northern NJ) and we'd test all the tubes, keeping the ones that seemed to have life left in them, but we never got new ones. Then, back home, to try them out. It basically stayed that way until I got into high school, when we finally got a newer Panasonic transistor TV.
Me TV has brought back The Beverly Hillbillies weeknights at 9:00 PM and Saturday at 6:00 AM and I watch as often as possible and they are still hilarious.
Sometime an actor gets typecast as a certain character, and it possibly hurts their future career. Yet in a way, it is a tribute to to their great acting acting ability in that they are talented enough to make people see them only as the character.
I'm from the UK and fondly remember the "Beverly Hill Billies" Jethro and all. I'm in my mid 60's now, but still remember that Show. I even have a few old episodes of it on dvd.
Jack Benny’s Vault is a great radio sketch that was recreated for TV 📺 when Jack Benny guest starred on The Lucy Show. I have to agree that Jack Benny was the number one skinflint but Drysdale loved money like no other banker and I have to admit that he was one of the funniest characters (along with Granny) in the show.
@@picklerix6162 yes, Jack Benny was funny and did the cheap guy jokes fantastically. I grew up in the 60's so Milburn Drysdale was more my speed, and "time."
I got to briefly speak with Max Baer, Jr. on a radio talk show, ca. 2003, when he was in the Nev. gaming business! I'm glad that he was able to become very successful, in alternative areas, instead of becoming a 'has been" in the acting profession! He still looks great today, at 85 years old! Best of Luck!
" Baer wrote and produced the drama Macon County Line (1974), in which he played Deputy Reed Morgan. It was the highest-grossing movie per dollar invested at the time. Made for just US$110,000, it earned almost US$25 million at the box office. This record lasted until The Blair Witch Project broke it in 1999" Baer also conceived and directed the very successful film "Ode to Billy Joe" Unfortunately it seems his casino project fell through due to issues with building/zoning codes, and conflict with neighboring developers.
I loved Jethro.... and yes he was and is very handsome...I have so many dvd's of the beverly hillbillies...they just don't make sitcoms like that anymore..I'll take those over todays sitcoms anyday!!!!!!!
His ideas for the casino were awesome. I would have loved it. It's too bad that it never came to fuition. It's even sadder that he got typecast, because he is a truly talented actor.
Oh gosh its been a minute on this. Some may think wtf would someone post stuff like this but I love seeing time capsules. The things 2 people you may never see have talks. Thank you for the video share.

I think he's a genuine nice guy. He did some funny, funny stuff on Beverly Hillbillies. He added a lot of joy to millions of Americans. I always wish him good health and happiness.
He was on Gilbert Gottfried's podast. He's a really funny, no-nonsense guy.
Yes
My oldest brother was in the Air Force Reserves with Mr. Baer. They are both alive today. My brother said Max was one of the nicest guys in the unit!
Great to hear! We must be careful how we treat ppl, because years later our actions will be known 💎💎💎
Wow thats great! I loved that show. One of the best shows ever made.
Thank you for your family service to the country and thank you Max Baer AKA Jethro bodine
Your brother is so lucky to have been in the Air Force with Max Baer. What a lucky guy
Jed on Jethro: " If brains was lard, that boy wouldn't grease too big of a skillet ". Just brilliant writing.
YES!! Genius writing. Been watching the BH binge on Decades. Script so clever. Refreshing. Nothing like a good, out loud laugh!!!
Jed: I got have a long talk with that boy!!
Max playing Jethro was brilliant! Made the show!!!
He was great that just all complimented each other. Granny was my favorite.
Tied with granny.

The picture quality has a comforting feel to me...man I miss old America
We all do. This was before communists and globalists destroyed it.
Me too. This world is nothing like it was. It’s awful.
Old america was black and white with 3 channels LOL
It wasn't thinking about this but I'm glad you pop this thought in my head. I sure miss the old days but not to the point of being bullied from time to time by anti gay homophobes
Absolutely. Well said 👍🏼
Greatest sitcom ever. I never get tired of watching the Beverly hillbillies

Agreed 💯💯💯. A lot of innocent times and care for children's minds.
....yes, we were very blessed with some excellent and 'happy' TV shows back then..
Bad vibes to say the least… by design. But the goyim will never make the connections and their oppressors know this.
You have got that right, I remember those days so fondly.
Wow!! What a trio of talent, Rip to all actores from the show that left us ..always a big fan since the late 70s and into the 21st century.. what a joy to see them together and that whistle from Donna ..always on point..
Jed was the funniest, and a great Actor.thank you Buddy Ebsen for the memories growing up. R.I.P.
I remember watching 👀 "The Beverly Hillbillies " when I was a little girl.
I remember the show coming on in the mid morning around 11:00 AM.
I loved the show it was HILLARIOUS!
Thanks for the laughter Jethro Bodine. That cement pond, the cypheren, and gosintas are classic.
Loved the show and all the actors...may they all Rest In Peace. 👍🏻
What a fun show that was each and every actor played their parts so well they were so believable. I think that Max Bear is the coolest name going, he still looks great.
Very well spoken. What a pleasure to listen to. So few people can actually hold a conversation these days. He made it look effortless.
he did not say "UM" or "BUT DUH", a "AND, YUH KNOW" even once. Hate it when people talk so stupidly !
I admire these people for being real and not plastic.
Buddy Epsen - Orlando, Florida's most famous resident! The Epsen family owned a dance studio here on Primrose St. from the 1920s to 2014!
I didn't know Jerry another show😳😳. I loved that show growing up. Loved it!! Good clean fun.

Haaa,i can't imagine him in a girdle, i would lose my lunch.yuk.!!!
It takes the genius to play the fool.
these talented people created wonderful characters that will be beloved forever
This Guy is Multifaceted And Enjoyable!
One of the funniest sitcoms EVER! An all-time favorite forever.Thank you for providing this awesome clip.
Truth
I still watch this show at 58 .. I first watched it at my grandmas house in Arkansas which I spent summers there growing up. I have probably watched every episode and I laugh every time I watch..hilarious 🤙🏼
Jethro was my favorite! And the episodes with Jethreen were classic!
You said; "Sorry for the video quality but it's all I have." I'm happy that you have this video, thanks.
Thank you so much for posting! Jethro was my favorite character.
Quit whining, that VHS quality for you! They had this before DVD...😂😂
Now's the time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin, he would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in, you're all invited back next week to this locality, to have a heaping helpin of their hospitality! I couldn't help it.
Back in time what it looks like to watch Old Classic VHS Era media 📼.
He is intelligent and articulate so he must be a great actor.
So was Ken Curtis who played Festus. Gracie Allen was also a very smart cookie. Loved her a lot...totally bummed as a child when I heard of her death in 1964. She obviously retired in 57 for medical reasons.
Wow, that whole Beverly Hillbillies casino venture sounds marvelous. I'd LOVE to check it out someday.
Sadly, it never materialized the way Max described it.
It was funny when Jed handed Jethro a sack full of Elly May's cooking and told him to bury it somewhere.
Max Baer brought so much joy to many people. I hope one day he will embrace his character of Jethro
He always has been Jethro. He made the part his own.
Max was a hoot as Jethro good to see him as he is...
He was one hell of a good actor!
Especially Jethrine
Thanks Mr Junior for all the laughter and entertainment!!! Happiness and health!!!

American Graffiti was also high on that list. Very high return on the dollar.

Max has manners. He said Sir to the host. The casino never did take off.
We All Loved Jeffhro
I thought he was experimenting biology of women's bodies with Ellie Mae ! Granny caught him and wooped his tail off !
Jethro was no dummy,he's very intelligent.It takes a very smart person to play an idiot... and he did it well.
Mr. Baer almost wept when he recalled his father's passing, so Jerry noticed and moved on to next subject.
When you lose your mother, father,sister, brother it’s painful to talk about. 😢
The rehearsals necessary to carry that show's timing off! The genius to stay in character. It might've all seemed slap-stick . . . but they all stayed in character . . . made it so that they weren't "slap-stick". They were innocence in a world that bordered on insanity. Genius . . . the authors, directors, performers. Even the laugh track was not out of place.
Well said!
Springer actually seemed like a real host here.
Amazingly
He started off as one. Was not till later he got sleazy.
Even though Max Baer Jr was Typecast as Jethro and could no longer find acting roles, he moved over to producing and directing and was quite successful! His current net worth is over 50 million dollars!
Serves as a great example that the world changes and people have to adapt. He could have sat around and whined about it in poverty or done the sad alternative of showing up at county fairs as a has-been like so many other stars of the 60s have done. He chose to change with the times instead of cry about it.
Man this brings back a lot of memories I really appreciate you putting this on It's great Thanks so much
I never knew Max Baer, Jr. had such ambition! The man is very intelligent and focused on "seeing a job all the way thru" (Good advice). I have much more respect for this man -now being the only surviving member of the original cast of "TBH". Also, thank you very much for these viewings elliottnick.
He came across as one very impressive guy! Smart too.
Jethro is one of the best tv characters of all time
One of the highlights of my life was being able to meet and talk with Donna Douglas.
that's cool freddie
I ONLY WISH I COULD HAVE MET MAX BEAR WHEN HE MADE MACON COUNTY LINE IN SACRAMENTO
LELAND LEE OMG, I saw that movie also when I was a kid, he played a corrupt sherif, right?
I too met her. She was devoutly religious. It was a thrill and honor.
Freddie Emory must be some shallow life...
Yes. Jerry Springer did a REAL talk show with legitimate guests and audiences.
I'm shocked at how low key and professional this is.
Shocking
Max should’ve played Li’l Abner. He would’ve been perfect.
This was a real treat to see. Thanks for posting it.

His daddy was a badass boxer

I remember growing up and watching TV and this was one of my favorite shows
Thank You Loader. It nice to see them again.
He’s still humble. I love that, and that he’s still with us despite his past with drugs. ♥️
He'd have to be humble to portray his characters Jethro and Jethrine

Amazing that he still looks exactly like Jethro. I would recognize him anywhere.
5 Fantastic videos of probably one of the greatest tv shows. Nothing made today even comes close.
Having watched reruns of "The Beverly Hillbillies"-I remember Bea Benaderet playing Pearl Bodine-Jethro's mother-from 1962 to 1963.
Great to see this ..thank you for posting it....
The hillbillies are one of the best comedy shows on TV I still watch them everyday rock on Ellie May
BH and Green Acres. 👍

this show was FUNNY - Paul Henning was a genius. Mr. Drysdale was the greatest cheapskate character ever written into television.

Jethro, and Granny the funniest characters
on the Beverly Hillibillies.
Thanks for sharing this!
So sad that granny died prematurely from a stroke.
Peter Palmer I read she died of a brain tumor at age 70
Max was great on the show. I always loved how he and Granny played off of each other.
Max is so good looking..
Yes he was!!

When did Jerry Springer ever have a classy show? I would've mistaken this episode from Phil Donahue show
" Baer wrote and produced the drama Macon County Line (1974), in which he played Deputy Reed Morgan. It was the highest-grossing movie per dollar invested at the time. Made for just US$110,000, it earned almost US$25 million at the box office. This record lasted until The Blair Witch Project broke it in 1999"
Baer also conceived and directed the very successful film "Ode to Billy Joe"
Unfortunately it seems his casino project fell through due to issues with building/zoning codes, and conflict with neighboring developers.
Yes He made two gems ,Love Macon & Ode to Billy Joe,With Robby Bensen and the Lovely Glynnis O’Conner
VHS quality 😎 and I still miss those days
I would love to see Jethro walk into an all-you-can-eat buffet

His ideas for the casino were awesome. I would have loved it. It's too bad that it never came to fuition. It's even sadder that he got typecast, because he is a truly talented actor.
Max Baer, Jr has an impressive acumen for business. He also had a slightly younger brother who also acted.
WHAT A KIND SOUL,THANKS FOR BEING JETHRO, JETHRINE AND MOST OF ALL THANKU FOR BEING YOU MAX BAER, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES TOO!!!
