Dining Room Pool Table
Anyone have a snapshot of the Clampetts eating at their dining room table? I could swear it was a pool table.

I found something really creepy about the pool table used in the show............It doesnt have pockets on it. So it would be impossible for them to even play pool on it.
The table used for the 90s remake had pockets that they use for trash cans.

The Clampetts had a standard Billiard table, not a Pocket Billiard aka; (Pool) table. Those don't have pockets.

Well doggey! How ever would those hillbilly chaps go about playing a bloody game of pool on a table of such description?

Depends which episode you see. http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv306/grounduppepper/beverlyhillbil liess3extrasdvdrip-1.jpg is the billy ard table.
Then http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv306/grounduppepper/beverlyhillbil lies309dvdripxvid-osi.jpg is the pocket pool table.
Either they had 2 fancy eatin tables or continuity issues.

I think in one episode, Jed talks about how he "fixed" the holes. If my memory is correct, then there isn't necessarily a continuity issue (unless the table with holes is shown after the one without).
share The Clampetts had a standard Billiard table in the earlier seasons because they thought the Rhino head on the wall was a Billiard, however in later seasons it was replaced with a pool table.Remember the episode where Mrs Drydale's father went over to the clampetts to win some money playing cards and when he lost to granny he tried to beat Jed on the pool table. Mr drydale found out and went charging over to stop him and as he was entering the fancy eating room and was about to say something Jed stopped him and said he was about to shoot,there was six balls on the table and jed took his shot and each ball went into a different pocket.
But there was an episode where Granny's boyfriend (Mr. Farquhar) tells Jed that a game called Pool can be played on the Billiard table. And they do play Pool on it, so I assume the table top can be flipped over or converted somehow for the pockets.
I don't know how Farquhar knew this, except the storyline was that he was a notorious gambler and so likely had seen this type of table before.
That's right it was a billyard table and it was in the billyard room. Logically it was built so heavily because the rhino head on the wall was what they figured a billyard was and it was really big. Two types of cues were used for dinner; The pot passers which had notches cut into the to hold the pail like handle on the pots. The meat stabbers which had had their ends sharpened to spear meat.
I thought that it was very clever in the movie how they used to bridge to pass pots rather than the notched cues.
