The Controversial Scene that took 'The Beverly Hillbillies' off the Air

- The Beverly Hillbillies is an American sitcom television series broadcast on CBS from 1962 to 1971. The show had an ensemble cast featuring Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, and Max Baer Jr. as the Clampetts, a poor backwoods family from the Ozarks region of Arkansas[1] who move to posh Beverly Hills, California after striking oil on their land. The show was produced by Filmways and was created by writer Paul Henning. It was followed by two other Henning-inspired "country cousin" series on CBS: Petticoat Junction and its spin-off Green Acres, which reversed the rags-to-riches, the country-to-city model of The Beverly Hillbillies.
The Beverly Hillbillies ranked among the top 20 most-watched programs on television for eight of its nine seasons, twice ranking as the number one series of the year, with 16 episodes that remain among the 100 most-watched television episodes in history. It accumulated seven Emmy nominations during its run. The series remains in syndicated reruns, and its ongoing popularity spawned a 1993 film remake by 20th Century Fox.

Hey Dumbass, they struck oil!!!!
So... there was NO scene that caused the series to be canceled?
Crappy and Factually INCORRECT “reporting”: BH was filmed on a soundstage, as is obvious and also documented in TV Guide pictorial tour of soundstage set in 1962, and substantiated by everyone who was a part of the show.
Exterior stick footage was used at Kirkeby mansion.
Shocked that this video credits FORTUNE.COM...Fortune should sue.
Stfu yew.
I like teaser headlines like this. After I get conned by them, it lets me know to NEVER watch something by “Facts Verse” again. And I won’t.
For anyone who’s still watching the video: there’s no one scene that got the show cancelled, it was every scene because the network thought there were too many “rural” shows on their station. There’s not one specific scene to point to.
Also, whoever made the video title is a jack ass liar.
@@henryyoutube4359 There's 9 minutes of my life gone. Hate when these idiots do that.
@@bcmfin Yeah, but we’re the idiots for watching it!! Never again, Fucts Werse.
Sure got that right.
Thank you! I just blocked!
So the "scene" that cancelled the show really wasn't a scene at all. Very nice, and misleading title. Thanks for nothing.
A straight up lie, more like.
Can someone send me the timestamp?
Thank you for making my point now I don't have to waste anymore of my time on this misleading title. I gave it a thumbs down for this reason.
I came on the comments to see if this was bogus, sure enough it is. Thanks!!

No "scene" took The Beverly Hillbillies off the air. The new head of CBS did not like all the "rural" shows that dominated the CBS line-up. He was interested in more modern and adult fare. Therefore, many shows were cancelled. The Beverly Hillibillies was just one of shows that fell to the ax.
Tragically it was probably for the better. The very next year after the show was canceled, the star who played Granny passed away. Everyone knows if you took Granny out of the show it couldn't stand on its own two feet after that. That's too hard of a blow.
@@RBickersjr The word I read was it was the CEOs wife who killed it, along with Green Acres & Petticoat Junction. Apparently she was mocked by her friends for the backwoods shows on CBS and convinced hubby to dump the highly rated shows for some more high brow fair.
@@bobullman I don't disagree with you on why it was cancelled. I was just commenting that Granny happened to pass away the next year after it was ended and that the show wouldn't be the same without her.
@@RBickersjr Agree 100%
CBS cancelled everything with a tree in it - including Lassie. Pat Buttram.
that scene that never happened was the most shocking thing i've never seen....
Under-rated post! Good one! 🏆
The second most controversial scene was pretty darned good!
hahahahahahaha!!!! right?
Just some con artist who posted something worth watching - but couldn't overcome his mental illness to be an _ss.
They did not "strike gold", Jed found a'bubblin' crude on his property.
Oil, that is.
Black gold.
Texas tea.
first thing wrong off the bat, also I don't remember a scene pinpointed for the fall of the show, just a cbs exec stupid enough to mess with a winning show
@@joeboxer3365 Because whoever put this together lied about the video in the title, and lied in the video itself.
@Flatts & Scruggs?
Flatt doesn't have an "s" though; it was Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs. I watched their TV show as a kid.
@@dalesulliv Some real good music ! Still on our play list .
People now do anything to get clicks. This wasn’t just misleading, it was a lie.
Yes ! This video's come on is a total fabrication ! What a gyp ! The show was cancelled because the network decided to go with a more urban & more affluent demographic. Thus they cancelled all rural based shows: The Hillbillies, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction & Mayberry RFD. And Mayberry RFD was in the Top Ten !
It's time to begin with the 'TAR & FEATHERING'
phony phucker
Welcome to youtube
@@RobertJohnsonearlzwow amen to doing that with these and more stupid execs who don't listen to a good following, jethro fetch me my shotgun
As children in the 1960s we adored this show. Not many channels in the UK at that time.
I have the series, and my wife and I watch 4 or 5 episodes before falling asleep. One of the funniest shows ever, now that I caught all the double entendres. That's what was so funny, since we missed many of them as kids. This and Green Acres were and still are among my top 5, here in June 2021.
August 2021. Yes, I agree.
I do to, I load up some episodes & add some 'Real Mccoys ' & let them play.
I grew up with these kind of shows & still love them. I have DVD'S of Andy Griffith shows to.
Many shows from this times period, especially westerns, have "adult" scenes and dialog that have a different meaning to me now than they did when I was a kid.
I was 7 when the show reached the UK, loved it without understanding the humour, now watching it on CZcams the humour is mind blowing ❤.
No "controversial scene that ended the show" in this video.
“It was an entire episode...”WHICH ONE?
Just false advertisement to get people to watch.
@@NatureOkie my guess is he assumes it was the episode where the black secretary was working at the cabin and looked like a slave to her big football star brothers who assumed Mr Dryesdale had chained her, so they put him in rags and locked him in a gorilla cage that was out back of the ceee-ment pond.
A long story to set up the final joke. That didn't kill the series. It was already in its last season, due to the rural purge of CBS.
@@STho205 I was just talking about this scene today--before I saw this video--and how it was the brothers' racist assumptions that drove the plot.
Report it.
The title is misleading. THERE WAS NO SCENE THAT TOOK THE SHOW OFF THE AIR. A LIE, Sorry.
while the title was very much misleading, he does say in here that there wasn't one scene it was a combination. but quite frankly that should have been said at the very beginning.
knew it wasn't one scene. I expected that someone had edited or voiced over one scene to make it offensive.
So what was it? I kept waiting to hear. If it was several scenes, what were they or what was the subject matter? Very disappointing.
There was no scene that pulled this off the air, it was that genius - Fred Silverman's opinion that it was too rural. Thats what killed off Green Acres and Petticoat Junction as well.
@@coolcookie1272 You're right - CBS dumped Mayberry RFD, Hee Haw, Green Acres and all of these type of shows. But this You Tube video is a false, misleading headline.
They struck OIL, not gold. And they lived in Bugtussle, Tennessee, not Arkansas. So where's this terrible 'scene'?
I figured he meant it as slang, like he hit the jackpot.
@@dallasbrubaker6054 - Either that, or somebody else, who didn’t do their research, wrote what the narrator said. But I couldn’t let that, AND getting their home state wrong too, go.
Was this video made by 9 yo retards?
Out-of-left-field character creation, and clever writing ... the humour was a bit dry and understated at times , but very incisisve , and engaged the thinking process. The Beverly Hillbillies is from the golden era of tv; Green acres is another superb show from that era.
What a lazy elevator pitch, ' it's like the Beverly Hillbillies, but opposite! "
"The Clampetts were poor, until they struck GOLD????" I thought Jed struck oil, or black gold. There is a great big difference.
Same than idiot. I'm from Houston.
It said "black gold Texas Tea" yes it's oil!!!
I live six miles away from Bugtussle, Texas. There are no oil fields or gold.
"Struck gold" can mean get rich no matter how it happens.

Misleading title. There was no controversial scene. Unreal.
This is the second time they clickbaited me. I do not like this.
agreed...fake title....Interesting info
Click Bait!!
No more facts verse for me
Thanks guys for saving me a few
minutes😁
Love that show, especially Ellie Mae.
But my favorite episode was the one where a psychiatrist evaluates Jethro, trying to get him to admit he hates his family, but instead Jethro goes on about how much he loves them.
At first the phychiatrist I'd increasingly frustrated.
But then the comes out saying, "Jethro is the most well-adjusted teenager I've ever met,!"
No doubt one of the funniest sit coms in American history. I loved this show as a kid and still enjoy it when I catch it on.
So it wasn't a CONTROVERSIAL scene, or even a CONTROVERSIAL show, it was simply an executive decision to take it off the air.
pure clickbait bullshit.
My thoughts exactly. Stay safe
Thanks for saving my time .
"pure clickbait bullshit", sums it up very well.
PPt_EaL :thank you for saving 9 minutes of my life 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
PPt_EaL replaced with " relevant " shows that nobody even remembers while the ruravl shows avre kicking it in syndication ,bad move I say
The excellent cast members are what made this show as good as it was.
We agree, Vic!
@@FactsVerse
Like your video. Hate that you had to lie to get people to watch it.
Disappointing.
Rubbish. The actors stank
Yeah, I'm still waiting for that scene. Don't make promises you can't keep!
I always liked it when Jed said “Some day I’ll have to have a real long talk with that boy” about something that Jethro did.
"...but Uncle Jed, I..." "Drive the truck, boy!"
I’m all for sitting through “fun facts”, but the video is click bait. Another CZcams provider who is unable to tell the truth.
TY no need for me to waste my time
When I see "clickbait", I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE.... EVER ! ! Or if I had been subscribed earlier, I unsubscribe immediately and tell them so AND why in the comments !
Actually Dan Cahill I enjoy most of the fun facts videos. It just seems this one went a little off track..
The Beverly Hillbillies went off the air because television was radically changing. New urban sitcoms like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and All in the Family debuted to strong ratings and critical fanfare. It all came to a head in the spring of 1971 with the "rural purge." The networks, especially CBS, canceled dozens of shows in order to drastically change its primetime lineup. The canceled shows included Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Mayberry R.F.D., Lassie, Hee Haw, Bonanza and Gunsmoke. There was no one scene of The Beverly Hillbillies that caused it to be canceled.
Bonanza ended due to Dan Blocker (Hoss) sudden death. No one wanted to contiue it without him.
@lillydee5978 But they did continue for years. The loss took the character of the series with it
Dan Blocker left a solid reputation.
It was a wonderful, fun show that we watched faithfully as long as it ran, and lots of reruns. We loved every minute of it and hate for it to stop.
Hello Evelyn, How are you doing?
" One of the most popular shows of the fifties which ran from 1962 until 1971 "
Let us hope Mike got that hearing aid fixed. 0:12
@@jomac2046 Yeah, I was wondering how I missed that. Lol! Thanks for the time stamp. I was going to assume I just didn't catch it 😂
I loved that show growing up , but this pile of click - bait crap was a complete waste of 9 minutes.
One of my favourite lines from the show was when Jed had to entertain another wealthy man, whom he did not like much. He was talking to Mr. Drysdale about him and described him as a typhoon. Mr Drysdale chuckled and said, ” I think you meant to say tycoon. A typhoon is a big wind!” Jed replied soberly “ I know what I said”
I always remembered that. Jed Clampett was a pretty shrewd man.
Hello Carol, How are you doing?
They struck "Black Gold," [oil], not "Gold." You have lost credibility.
Well, they would have lost credibility if they ever had any to begin with.
Even as a kid I thought the show was very funny like all the shows back then. Not smutty like today. We were so lucky to grow up in this era and there were so many shows that were just fun to watch. We watched funny shows played with our friends, it was great
Yep. We went from all that fun and innocence to Bill Gates desiring to force vaccinate us, track us, and require a proof of vaccine card at all times in just 50 years. Let that sink in. RESIST this bastard as if your life depends on it, because it does. NO TESTS - NO VACCINES. Revolt if necessary.
Its china's plan to inslave us.
Agreed
@Hammerschlägen M it is my duty to answer your comment. For starters i didn't come on here to get political i guess i just got cought in the moment. no disrespect intended. But if you go back to these shows you will notice that they were shielding us from the realities of those days. For example Gomer Pyle never ever mentioned the vietnam war or its aftermath. I never seen blacks, asians or indians on the Hooterville Train coming out of the petticoat junction. Never a minority customer in sam druckers store or guess star on the Beverly Hillbillies. uncle jed and some of those great black tap dancers would have made for a great episode and you would think eddie albert would have had some migrants helping him plant those green acres. But those were different times. What i have outlined to you is only some of the things that led up to the RURAL PURGE of these great shows and gave birth to ARCHIE BUNKER!!!
@Hammerschlägen M no i do not believe they want to enslave us but i do believe they want to conspire to keep America from becoming independant from them. We are their cash cow. The thought of US industry and independence scares them. This is why Pres.Trump will be Re elected!. And you are right about the media they are one sided and always stirring up mess.
They struck oil not gold. One of the best shows ever.
As the theme says "they struck gold, BLACK GOLD that is." Referring to oil
Black gold, Texas tea😉
@@jeremycooper9024 Yep, Texas Tea.
Striking oil was very much the same as finding gold. Even without oil needed with other energy sources, it is still vital for plastics and so much more. Gold was a throw away metal in some cultures cuz it was too soft. Jewelry made it something, and that it stays forever with lots of science uses doesn't hurt. Those will always have value.
Oil is gold
This was, and still is, one of my favorite shows. I loved all the main characters.
Thank you for the video. That show, was part of my childhood.
After about 6 minutes I discovered that this should have been titled "If there was a controversial Scene that took 'The Beverly Hillbillies' off the Air, I don't know what it was".
Struck Oil. Not gold.
How about the episode where Granny had a bunch of people dressed in confederate uniforms and they marched out in the streets.?.
@@johnbockelie3899 There was at least one episode where she hung up a poster of Jefferson Davis and said that she would not have anybody in the house blemishing the memory of Jefferson Davis. That would sure be controversial now, but apparently, not so much then. after all, they also had "Hogans" heroes' a sit-com set in a Nazi POW camp.
@@milascave2 I saw an episode where Granny led some people around.in Confederate uniforms , during a Civil War reenactment, of course she thought it was the real thing. Then there was the one where Jethro was going to join the military, so Granny had him wear his great Grandpas uniform, a Confederate soldier one to the recruiting office.
Or, ...and even if we did know, we're not going to tell you!
Why not be truthful. There was nothing controversial.
When Jed explained there were critters to eat in Beverly Hills called “smog”. Best they could figure....it was a “small hog”. 😅😂🤣
who could ever believe that sharon tate played a small role as trego. absolutely beautiful may charles manson rot in hell
I loved it when Jethro would pick her up like a big sack of taters!!🤣🤣😂😂
I hate.. HATE misleading titles... so there is NO controversial scene..
It’s called in the sales world. “Baiting”
That's what I said!
There was no controversial scene! The show ended because Irene Ryan as hired to star in a brand new musical on Broadway with Ben Vereen! The musical was "Pippin", and she played Bertha, Pippin's grandmother! And, she remained in the show until she passed away!
Why people think they have to make shit up just to have their videos seen is beyond me!
And, wrong about the critics hating it! The first episode had one critic who gave it a bad review,, only because he had a grudge against Donna Douglas, who simply refused to give him the time of day!
The fact is, the show was one of the #1 most favorite & most watched shows at the time! And it spawned two spinoffs as well! "Petticoat Junction", which was where Aunt Pearle lived during "The Beverly Hillbillies". But, in "Petticoat Junction", Aunt Pearle became Kate, the owner of the Shady Rest hotel! And, "Green Acres"! And, ALL THREE were a hit!
I for one enjoyed that show! Will always love it!
They didn't strike gold, they struck oil.
Sparky McSparkface liquid gold
yea i heard that ... so how much of the rest is to be believed?
black gold...texas tea
@@rickdaniels6741 Actually the struck "Black Gold, Texas Tea"
"…oil that is, black gold, Texas tea…"
I see I don’t win any points for originality with my reply.
My favorite episode when a Civil War movie was being shot across the entrance of the mansion and Granny summoned the family to defend the property from the invading Yankees and shot the actor playing General Grant off his horse
I loved this show!!! I watched it in the late 80's early 90's!!😍
Spoiler: There was no scene that took the show off the air.
@Tony C. Enjoyed it despite being blatantly misled!
Well, there was that unaired episode where Jethro almost dies from a bad LSD trip, so Elly Mae gets one of her critters to attack and kill the drug dealer that sold Jethro the LSD. But then the producers agreed with the censors not to broadcast the episode, and they all decided everything was cool. Hey, the show was #1 in the ratings - they sure as hell weren't going to pull the show off the air and lose all that advertising money over artistic differences.
@@zanti4132 lol, was that the same episode when they started smoking crawdad's?
Correct. There was a time when the networks followed "Standards and Practices" regarding the content of shows. That is a concept that has been forgotten in recent years. And considering what goes over the air today, one would think there never were such standards.
CZcams should fine people for using click bait.
These were canceled because of the Rural Purge, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies not because of a Scene.
And, they were not canceled! Irene Ryan left "The Beverly Hillbillies", because she was offered a roll in a new Broadway musical "Pippin", as Berta, Pippin's grandmother. She stayed in the show for quite a while, until about a week or so before she passed away. Her plan was to return to "The Beverly Hillbillies" Her death was unexpected & heartbreaking.
That purge happened literally overnight by CBS execs I believe in '69.
@@mjnaz65 I agree, Most people keep putting Videos out saying their were issues withe the cast or whatever they could make up for each show but it was simply the Rural Purge.............
@@mjnaz65 1971, not 1969.
A star of one of the canceled shows said the network canceled "anything with a tree."
I remember when it began, I was 2 years old, been watching ever since.
Mrs. Donna was a very beautiful woman and was a sweet old lady till the day she passed. When one of my friends said to me, dude you know who you were talking too? I said a nice old lady. She came back home to Louisiana which is surprising. R.I.P.

The things " We didn't know" we knew 25 years ago.... there was NO ' ONE scene that took down the show, PURE BS.....
You know how the Clampletts front door was never locked?
I reasoned because they trusted people.
In one of the later color episodes, Elly Mae used a key to open her hotel room. It shocked me.
My cousin was a set builder on the show. I attended his funeral in Burbank and Paul Henning gave the eulogy. In the early 60s, they allowed my family to watch filming. I wasn't interested so didn't go, but my parents and grandparents went. My grandmother was fascinated with granny. I think the episode they saw being filmed was the one where granny could tell the weather with a cricket or beetle.
Thanks for sharing this, Tom!
literally lol imaging granny weather forecasting with a cricket or beetle
That episode with the hippies who were all wanting some of Granny's smoked crawdads was hilarious...my favorite episode!

I always love this show id like to see another one like it
Us too! Which episode is your favorite?
Misleading title. They never mention a particular scene that killed the show.
It wasn't a scene. It was because of the "rural purge" that ended Beverly Hillbillies along with green acres and the Andy Griffith show
@ChaldeanCauldron yes
That's because there was NO scene; he described it, true or not, as a CBS decision. The title is as misleading as the name of this "poster"
They actually ADMIT there was No scene and I, like an idiot kept sorta waiting for it. What is that Dickenson line?
Hope is the thing without feathers.
No, that was a Woody Allen book. I'm just plain disappointed.
I wanted there to be a scene so bad!!!
Favorite episode when Jed and Granny go to the bank to actually see their money. Best explanation of how banking really works and sad too few people understand it.
Shooting skeet with shotguns and Elly's slingshot in "Jed becomes a Banker".
Have you seen what Obummer and his puppet Biden are planning for the U.S. Dollar? The bill has actually been around for several years. In essence, Americans would be forced to trade in their current cash for the new cash and there would be an exchange rate. Something like you give big gov $3 dollars and they give you $1 of the new money. It has been downhill since we no longer have the gold standard.
@@solarsynapse The government will indeed do currency manipulation that would induce inflation; they will never attempt to induce deflation. Asset prices rising favors those who have assets; the ruling class. Inflation harms the least of us and governments always choose to harm the masses over those who pay them the most. Taxes, tariffs, currency manipulation and regulation are the 4 ways governments cause recessions/depressions. Never market forces.
I know, LOL.
Mr. Drysdale claims to have it. When asked to see it, Jed and Granny were told, "Well it's not here. It's spread out all over the country in loans and investments."

They were all perfect in their roles, especially Granny. I loved it when she scrapped with Mrs. Drysdale, then she tells Jed that Mrs. Drysdale 'wrapped her hair around my fingers, then kept hitting my fist with her face over and over'. It's a shame that Max Baer Jr. didn't get big roles after the show's cancellation, because his performance showed he had a lot of talent. He could have played anything but the entertainment industry is mainly run by idiots.

Absolutely NO controversial scenes
In 1971, the CBS management had decided "everything with a tree will be cancelled." It had nothing to do with any scene. CBS desired to attract younger viewers. Besides shows like Green Acres, Mayberry RFD and Petticoat Junction, classic shows like Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason and Ed Sullivan also were axed. CBS' s worst move ever ...

So the headline is total click bait and the guy says "it wasn't one scene it was the whole show."
Then the guy says Buddy Ebsen wrote a "novel" that was actually a collection of poems.
I loved that show. I ended up working directly across the street and the general contractor told me. So I went over on my lunch break and was allowed a tour. It was so beautiful and I did see the cement pond although it was so big I had to go back to work. Twin stairs on each side of the entrance completely tiled in white marble. Granny could light a stick match at 200 feet with her gun.
THE EPISODE OF Lafe Crick was absolutely hilarious "Lafe Crick is the laziest varmint ever...he could wake up in the morning with absolutely nothing to do...and by dark it only be half done" Granny was my favorite character on the show!
Should rename this channel, “False Verse”.
I see "Facts Verse" is selling merchandise. I wonder if you buy one of their shirts, if you just get a picture of the shirt, or maybe a handkerchief.
Totally agree
I hate the bait and switch. The other kind is showing a picture to entice you to watch the video and the picture never shows up in the video.
You can only feign “naive hillbilly” for so long. Even those uneducated tards ‘The Clampets’ would soon understand they were filthy rich and lived in a mansion. The “cement pond” act can only go on for 3 seasons or so. That fact this thing ran 9 years is a miracle itself.
One of the best shows ever! I love how it portraits the innocence of county folks in the midst of modern society
"The show was never shot in a studio, only the mansion"??? What a BIG FAT PILE!!!
My dad worked on the show as a Grip. He said they used the front of the mansion as an "Establishing Shot". Then everything WAS shot at the Studio with sets. In fact, it was shot at the General Services Studios in Hollywood. He took me there one day in the spring of '68 (I was 13) and I watched Irene Ryan do some rehearsing. Later, she gave me a picture of her in costume and signed it to me. That was the same studio where he also worked on Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, and a few other popular shows, ALL CBS!
Too bad these utube video makers cannot get their stories straight!
Where is the scene described in the title?
I love the episode where they kept sending mrs. Drysdale flying out of her Hospital room window on her mattress😂
Grannie was hilarious when she drank the moonshine
..ah yes, her "rheumatiz medicine".
No more than a thimble full.
Grew up waiting for this show with my 7 brothers and sisters!
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
So *what exactly IS the "Controversial Scene" that took them off the air??*
I love this show. I love all of the characters. Granny was funny to watch. She made me laugh. 😄
But I have to say that Donna Douglas was my favorite actress on the show. I actually got to meet her in person before she died. She came to visit my church one time. She talked about the show and the other actors. She also talked about her belief and strong Faith in God. My family and I had our picture taken with her. And I got autographed photos of her. That is a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. 💞🙏
It makes me so happy to know she was my sister in Christ.
@@billcrockett695 Absolutely. Me too. 🙏❤🙂
I listened for 18 seconds until the guy said they "struck gold", which they didn't. Made a mental note never to watch FV shite again, not even for 18 seconds.
It's nice CZcams gives you the option "Don't Recommend Channel". I will be clicking that if I ever see "Facts" Verse in my recommendations again. Anybody who has seen even one episode knows they struck oil while shooting at some food, not gold. How can a person make a video with "facts" when they have never seen even one episode of the show? Neither did they spend 30 seconds to look it up. The first sentence on any website describing the show says they struck oil. Wikipedia, IMDb, any website says they struck oil in the first sentence. Lazy lazy lazy.
Never again! 99.9% of these videos are bullshit.
Thank you Henry. Always glance through the comments before wasting your time.
I loved when Jed gave the cab driver a tip. " Oh a Tip?" Uh "Plant your corn early next year."
Who else KNEW there was no such scene but came here for the comments?!🙄
🤫
Donna used to come to a Christian retreat in my town every year...the place is called Shocco Springs, and she would come there for a week or so and give inspirational talks based in the faith she and everyone there had in common. If you want to see Donna's first run at acting, watch a Twilight Zone Episode called "Eye of the Beholder",and worth seeing.
Another Twilight Zone episode featuring Donna Douglas is "Cavender Is Coming" starring Carol Burnett.
@@ClassicTV4U thanks so much..i'll def watch it!
I've seen it. God rest her soul. Until. God's Trumpet sounds and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then .......Thessalonians kjv. Love. Julie kilburn
Loved the show and always wanted to see Max Baer in other comedy and/or dramatic roles. When he sort of disappeared from the TV/movies I was disappointed, I thought that there was more in him than just his role in the 'Hillbillies.' i thought that he could have made a fairly good western star. As for Buddy Ebsen, i would not turn away from anything he was in, loved his Barnaby Jones series. Would not mind seeing a few episodes of the "Hillbillies", "Barnaby Jones" or anything else from these actors. In the series my favorite character was Granny.
We also love The The Beverly Hillbillies. Which episode made a lasting impression on you?
The show was canceled with high ratings because the networks wanted stuff like All in the family, the Jeffersons, and threes company.
3's Company was on ABC ..Fred Silverman ran CBS
The title’s a blatant lie. I was curious as to what “scene” caused it’s cancellation, and after wasting 6 minutes listening to trivia I already knew the narrator admits it wasn’t a scene, but the Rural Purge, of which I also knew. Can’t trust you to not waste my time.
The 3 little dots next to "Save "allows you to report "Misleading Title"
The 3 little dots next to "Save "allows you to report "Misleading Title"
Thanks for the belly laugh.
Whoever posted that title was an idiot - this video didn't need a con, so I doubt I'll ever watch anything he posts ever again.
What a total _ss!
So the critics didn't like the Beverly Hillbillies. In my 7+ decades of living, I long ago decided that most movie critics are too conceited and full of themselves to know what is or is not a great show. Generally speaking, the shows they criticize the most turn out to be the most entertaining.
Amen. Exactly. Critics are completely useless and a waste of money for whomever pays them for complaining.
Max Baer Jr.'s father, Max Baer Sr., was world heavyweight boxing champion in 1934 and 1935.
So the show was killed but not by scandal. It could've lasted a few more years.
What's your favorite memory of the show, Marv?
