She passed in 1971 at age 88 years God rest her buoyant soul.
She had things in common with the hillbillies like making lye soap and she loved her turnip greens.
LOL, I may have to check it out, thanks for posting it!
when did they put the mansion doorbell running joke to rest?
It was aired as episode #1 but with a laugh track. The music wasn’t right either.
I watched season 1 on Prime but haven’t found the one with the automatic foot washers yet.
How dare U post this vile CRAP!
Che Guevara for President!!!

Thanks for the link, comrade.
I really liked the early scene with the cars driving down the Beverly Hills streets. Beautiful 1962 Cadillacs, Lincolns, Thunderbirds, and a Rolls Royce. It looks like they just set up a camera next to the street and started filming cars as they came down the street.
Thanks. Just watched half of it...great humor.
Amazing, they are joking about Ellie May popping buttons on her blouse!

Originally, it was Paul Henning’s intention to cast Bea Benaderet in the role of “Granny.” He had known Benaderet for a number of years, and admired her work. However, Irene Ryan really nailed the audition, and it was Benaderet herself who told Henning that Ryan should get the part. Out of loyalty to Bea Benaderet, Paul Henning then added the character of “Cousin Pearl” for her, and later cast her in the lead of “Petticoat Junction.”
The pilot was named the “Hillbillies of Beverly Hills.” Did they change it for the first episode? “The Beverly Hillbillies” works so much better.
Ellie May bump for later!

Miss Jane: You attended Oxford?
Jethro: Yes,ma'am...I was the crawdad eatin' champ!
I wonder if they were testing out Granny wearing glasses. She loses them at about the 4:20 mark. Has them on, then they suddenly disappear.

If it was made today, the evil oil company would have bought all the land for $500 and raped Ellie May

Too funny. Definitely one of my favorite series.
City slickers love to laugh at country folks but these shows end up sending the message that country people are good, city slickers are evil. Trump is the Manhattan Hillbilly. City slickers love to laugh at his common folk ways but in the end Trump comes across as honest and not evil like the libtards that mock him.
