 The Beverly Hillbillies is an television sitcom. Panned by many entertainment critics of its time, it quickly became a ratings success for CBS. The series was about a hillbilly family transplanted to Beverly Hills, California after finding oil on their land. A Filmways production, the series aired on CBS from September 26, 1962 – September 7, 1971 and comprises 274 episodes—106 in black-and-white (1962–1965) and 168 in color (1965–1971).The show starred Buddy Ebsen as Jed Clampett, Irene Ryan as Daisy May “Granny” Moses, Donna Douglas as Elly May Clampett and Max Baer, Jr. as Jethro Bodine. It is the earliest “fish out of water” themed show, and was followed in 1965 by country-cousin series Green Acres.
Similarly-themed shows such as “McCloud”, “The Nanny”, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, and “Doc” would follow. It ranked among the top 12 most watched series on television for seven of its nine seasons, twice ranking as the #1 series of the year, with a number of episodes that remain among the most-watched television episodes of all time. |
