Meet the Clampett clan - There's Jed; the kind and intelligent patriarch (although lacking formal education) turned into an overnight millionaire through a stroke of luck. While he appears to be in a state of retirement, he is still frequently kept busy by trying to keep his family out of trouble and make peace with his neighbors. Then there is Granny; the matriarch of the clan who is mature, highly opinionated, paranoid of new-fangled ways and things. She considers herself to be highly educated (a self proclaimed Doctor of Hillbilly Medicine) and has difficulty understanding why anyone doubts her wisdom. Then there is Elly May; beauiful, but awkwardly naive. Apparently in her late teens or early twenties, she is considered an 'Old Maid' by the standards of her culture back in the mountains of her childhood. Last but not least, there is Jethro Bodine, the somewhat slow-witted nephew of Jed. He is constantly attempting to find a girlfriend by impressing them with his education.

This the episode in which Granny refers to the 'Civil War' as 'the war betwixt the Yankees and the Americans' -- etc etc.!

Why do people still love TBH so much?

BECAUSE IT'S SO 'REAL', such rollicking fun, and makes such great points along the way. Really does!

LOVED Granny (Irene Ryan) and the BHB! She made the show.

She was at her best when cookin' up varmints like crawdads and possum stew, and the episodes that she played "Dr. Granny".

The Beverly Hillbillies (a Top Show till the very end) -- along with the hilarious Green Acres and Petticoat Junction -- were unceremoniously eliminated as part of CBS's "Rural Purge".

They were good-natured, funny escapism that the entire family could watch together.

What replaced it?

The so-called "real world" that wound up as toxic seeds of the SJW Agenda (MASH, All In The Family, Mary Tyler Moore) :-/

You'll appreciate this mini-doc on the Beverly Hillbilies:

You have said a mouthful there, bro! Amen!

The critics' lambasting of the show was itself a perfect illustration of the show's premise. The Rural Purge was a declaration by the NYC and Hollywood studio bigshots that they hate reality, they hate the countryside, they hate fun, they hate THE PEOPLE GROWING THEIR FOOD.

Ir thrills me that TV watchers are still showing these plutocratic kabbalists and Bernaysian brainwashers what's what. These moguls and networks aren't even in the business to make money (the factor they claim for all unpopular decisions since then), THEY ARE IN IT TO JEW US TO DEATH.

If you can take Jerry Springer, he's treating them right well here:

As would naturally be expected, Jethro the jew comes off least well -- by far.

Thanks...

I say too much too often. Glad you appreciated it.

Yup. Bullseye right there. These globalist/Urbanist terrorists hated Middle America/Fly Over Country even then.

Hear ya. And agree. People still recognize goodness, real humor, and virtue (while also knowing exactly who and what have been corrupting the culture.)
