Editorial Reviews

The Clampetts an Ozark hillbilly family accidentally struck it rich when patriarch Jed while hunting shot the ground and struck oil. At the advice of their family and friends they moved to Beverly Hills California where they moved into the mansion next door to banker Milburn Drysdale president of the Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills. Accompanying Jed to Beverly Hills were his daughter Elly May a beautiful young "spinster" tomboy; Jethro Jed's nephew and the brain of the family (with a 6th grade education); and Granny Jed's mother-in-law a mountain healer and matchmaker.Over the next nine years several constants emerged...Jed never replaced his old worn hat or the family truck; Elly May never got a husband; Granny never got to go back to the hills; and Jethro never got to keep the girl.The Beverly Hillbillies was an instantaneous hit when it aired in 1962 and continued to be a hit until its last episode in 1971. During its first two seasons it ranked as the number one program on television attracting as many as 60 million viewers per week!Volume Two Episodes:1. No Place Like Home2. Jed Rescues Pearl3.

3.0 out of 5 stars classic "Hillbillies" memories, January 2, 2006

This review is from: Beverly Hillbillies - Volume 2 (DVD)

Alpha has re-released these classic episodes of THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, which are amongst the many eps from Season One to somehow fall through the cracks into public domain. Gone is the familiar theme song (which remains under strict copyright) but the same laughs are to be enjoyed with these superior B&W shows.

Episodes:

"Clampetts Strike Oil" - In the series premiere, the Clampetts strike it rich when oil is discovered in their swamp.

"Getting Settled"' - The Clampetts arrive in their mansion only to find that it doesn't have any of the comforts of home.

"Jed Buys Stock" - To help secure the family's fortune, Mr. Drysdale suggests that Jed purchase some 'stock.' Naturally Jed thinks he means livestock.

"Clampetts Entertain" - Mr. Drysdale is dismayed to learn that the chairman of his bank wants to have dinner with the Clampetts. Jim Backus guest stars.

"The Clampetts Get Psychoanalyzed" - Jethro needs a Certificate of Health to return to school and things get complicated when he goes to see a psychiatrist by mistake.

"Jethro's Friend" - Jethro's school pal visits the mansion, but the delicate boy's chauffer becomes worried about the Clampett's lifestyle.

"The Servants" - Drysdale attempts to 'improve' the Clampetts by lending them his butler and maid.

"Christmas at the Clampetts" - The Clampetts receive many incredible Christmas gifts - many beyond their simple hillbilly understanding.

"Clampetts Get Culture" - Feeling out of place in Beverly Hills, The Clampetts decide to return to the Ozarks. Drysdale desperately tries to change their minds.

"The Garden Party" - The Clampetts are coming to Mrs. Drysdale's garden party - much to her dismay.
