The entire first season (all 36 episodes) as well as the first 19 episodes of the second season are the only episodes in the public domain. The 20th episode of the second season to the end of the series are still under copyright protection. These 55 episodes ended up in the public domain because CBS, having bought the rights to the series shortly after its cancellation, neglected to renew their copyrights. As a result, these episodes have been unofficially released on home video and DVD on many low-budget labels. In many video prints of the public domain episodes, the original and much-loved theme music has been replaced by generic music due to copyright issues.

Jethro's father's name was Fred Bodine.

In a majority of season one and season two episodes, location/establisher footage showed Jane Hathaway's first car, a 1962 Plymouth convertible, but in some cases the scene would immediate cut to a close up of her arriving in a 1963 or 1964 Dodge.

During the closing credits of _"The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962) {Pygmalion and Elly (#1.10)_, shows a man's right arm (with short sleeved shirt) as he is walking on the driveway toward the camera, and then it/he is jerked out of the picture as he gets close to the camera.

Granny: And how do we do that, Mr. Sixth-Grade Graduate?

Jed Clampett: Boy, I'm gonna give you 24 hours to clean up all this mess.

Jed Clampett: Well doggies!
