The Beverly Hillbillies' Max Baer Jr. on Being Jethro

The Beverly Hillbillies' Jethro Bodine would fall somewhere between Barney Fife and Kramer on any list of great TV sidekicks. Part buffoon and part beautiful dreamer, Jethro was a childlike mind plopped into the body of a backwoods Hercules.

You're right on the first count: The Beverly Hillbillies
