-Jethro was the son of Pearl Bodine ([[Bea Benaderet]]) and the nephew of her brother, [[Jed "JD" Clampett]].  He also had a sister named Jethrene (also played by Baer but voiced by [[Linda Kaye Henning]]).  He was substantially strong but also substantially dumb in many ways.  Some would say he was quite child like.
-Ironically, he was also the only one at the time who could drive.  Of all the family, he was the one who truly liked [[Beverly Hills, California|Beverly Hills]] and clearly made the most of his uncle getting rich.  He wanted so badly to be a playboy and was always very girl crazy.
-Unfortunately, he was also not very bright, and would invariably get himself into trouble no mattter what happened.  He also had a rivalry of sorts with his cousin, [[Elly May Clampett]].  Whenever he would say that men were superior to women, Elly, who was raised like a tomboy, would usually one-up her cousin, and prove that whatever he could do, she could do even better.
-He was often threatened with punishment by [[Daisy "Granny" Moses]], because of his slightly dumb way of doing things.  He would alternately be a pride and a dismay to his uncle Jed, who would often mutter, ''"Someday, I have to have a long talk with that boy!"''
-Jethro was the target of a crush by [[Jane Hathaway]], the assistant to the president of the Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills, [[Milburn Drysdale]], but he hardly even notices her, usually looking for another girl he could love.
-However, being in the city, he makes the most of it, and enjoys it.  As much as one can with a sixth grade level education.
