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 One Episodes:1. Jethro Goes To School2. Pygmalion & Elly3.

3.0 out of 5 stars my hilbillies review, September 22, 2004

This review is from: The Beverly Hillbillies - Volume 1 (DVD)

This DVD has great picture and sound quality, but the only thing bad is that it does not have the original theme music. Instead it has a poor instrumental song. I would reccomend this DVD for you!

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING - NO THEME MUSIC, March 17, 2006

If you buy ANY item produced by Platinum, the theme song will be missing, especially from The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and the Andy Griffith Show (and probably Green Acres). The theme music is replaced with some dumb replacement music. It seems that if the theme song has words, Platinum will replace it with their own dumb music. You have been warned!

From my generation, purchased for my grandchildren, to pass on the fun... who doesn't love the Beverly Hillbillies! The kids laughed just like we did. Suggest; Pass it on.
