"I called the law on my own kin! Step on me, Pearl!"

[Eleutheria5]

Couldn't stop laughing. Had to share this brilliant episode, my favorite so far. The yodeling and the writing was great, too.

[crusty old prospector]

Still better than 99% of the “comedy” of today.

[Eleutheria5]

Stand-up is the worst. I actually loved Bill Burr on F is for Family, but his stand-up was offensive from the cursing to the disgusting, soulless look on his face. And the cruelest cut of all is when they canceled the Roseanne reboot. But the Beverly Hillbillies can always have me splitting my sides.

[Steve Van Doorn]

WOW! loyalty to the family shown on national TV. "code of the hills"
Amazing even if it was a long time ago.

[Eleutheria5]

The greatest touch at the end was the drunk duck. This episode had everything.

[wally_bert]

Very much so.

Green Acres is one I like better than the Hillbillies by just a tiny bit.

At times I’d trade with Mr. Douglas.

[crusty old prospector]

Ellie Mae versus ZsaZsa? Surely you jest. She makes good possum.

[Romulus]

Eva, not Zha Zha.

[lizma2]

Does anyone else find that Granny reminds them of Hillary Clinton?

[wally_bert]

I was thinking in terms of lifestyle.

[Romulus]

Sure as a goose goes barefoot.

[crusty old prospector]

Sorry, I get them both confused.

[crusty old prospector]

Oh, I would much rather live on Green Acres than Beverly Hills.

[wally_bert]

Me too.

[John S Mosby]

With Eddie Dean, American western singer called the best cowboy singer of all time- by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. A yodeling policeman in this episode.

[crusty old prospector]

Maybe even Petticoat Junction. Not enough available womens at Mayberry.

[Radix]

Same show, just inverted. Country folks in the city. City folks in the country.

[MrLucky1966]

I always got a big kick out of Jethro being a “double naught spy” and a “brain surgeon.” The “War Against the Grunyons” was funny too. I liked the episodes where the Clampetts go to Washington DC and Ellie May had four kittens named George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Jefferson Davis where Granny said where the last one can stay.

[Republican Wildcat]

Yep.

[SamAdams76]

That show was already in re-runs when I was a kid. Still, it was one of the funniest things on TV.

"Fish out of water" makes for some of the best comedy.
