Buddy Ebsen (Jed), Irene Ryan (Granny), Donna Douglas (Elly May), and Max Baer Jr. (Jethro) for 9 great years made America laugh like it never laughed before. The most endearing characters televison has ever known made the world yearn every week for their wonderful wit and wisdom. Their sudden rags to riches story uprooted them to the wealthy and status conscious Beverly Hills social circles. Raymond Bailey (Milburn Drysdale) and assistant Nancy Kulp (Jane Hathaway), played off the Clampetts perfectly as the frustrated bankers in the middle of the culture clash for the ages. Every week was filled with great music and great guest stars including the renowned Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. Through this, our country's fab four never changed but they changed us. Their incredible warmth, love and humor is alive for eternity in our hearts. I can't convey my love enough for the wonderful Beverly Hillbillies who will live on our hearts forever.
