The Beverly Hillbillies


Jed Clampett: What do you think Pearl? You think I oughta move?
Cousin Pearl Bodine: Jed, how can you even ask? Look around you. You live eight miles from your nearest neighbor. You're overrun with skunks, possums, coyotes, and bobcats. You use kerosene lamps for light. You cook on a wood stove, summer and winter. You're drinkin' homemade moonshine, and washin' with homemade lye soap. And your bathroom is fifty feet from the house. And you ask should you move!?
Jed Clampett: [ponders all this] Yeah, I reckon you're right. Man'd be a dang fool to leave all this.


Jethro Bodine: [from the top of the stairs] Hey Uncle Jed, there's a whole 'nother house up here!
Jed Clampett: Jethro, come down from there. That probably belongs to someone else.


Jane Hathaway: [inquiring after Jethro's Oxford credentials] Is Jethro an Eaton man?
Jed Clampett: Knowin' Jethro, I think he went ta eatin' as soon as he was born.

What about the Andy Griffith Show?

Petticoat Junction was horrible. Absolutely horrible.

Maybe not Hazel horrible, but darned horrible.

It limited to to choices, so I had to leave out some. My favorite was Gilligan's Island, and in fact ordered the complete set last night on amazon ($35). I think I have a Pavlovian response to that show - it aired at 4:00 every day and we got out of school at 3:30. First thing I did when I got home was watch the show.

Growing up in St Louis in the early 70s it was Hogan's Heroes (watching that when we discovered that our house was on fire), Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, Munsters and The Brady Bunch with a bit of Green Acres and I Dream of Jeannie thrown in.

Addams Family

For me, The Munsters has aged particularly well. I'll have to go with that.

I voted Green Acres because of this. Happens about 1:04 in. And, it happened quite often.

When I was younger, I had no idea what the 'Fourth Wall' was. But, I loved how cheeky they were.
