The Beverly Hillbillies 4

The Clampetts didn't start out as millionaires. They were poor mountaineers at first until they are told that they're rich because oil was discovered in their field by the kind patriarch, Jed Clampett (Buddy Ebsen). When his cousin Pearl (Bea Benadret) finds out, she suggests they move to Beverly Hills, California. Jed takes her advice and packs up his family: his mother-in-law, Daisy May "Granny" Moses (Irene Ryan), the opinionated matriarch of the family who prefers the old-fashioned farming life to newfangled things; beautiful, tomboyish daughter, Elly May (Donna Douglas), who prefers a pair of jeans over a fancy dress and tree-climbing over being wined and dined any day and his nephew, Jethro Bodine (Max Baer, Jr.), who means well, but isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Jethro always tries to court girls and impress them with his elementary school-education. For these Texas farmers, the sophisticated life in Beverly Hills is quite different from living on a country farm and is very complex and hard to get used to. This hit show is about the Clampetts getting used to the new, fancy life in California and lasted from 1962-1971.
