Product Description

The Real McCoys became one of the biggest hits on TV, paving the way for other rural comedy shows including Gomer Pyle, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. The premise was simple: a happy-go-lucky West Virginia mountain family moves to a ranch in California's San Fernando Valley. The focal point of the action, and undisputed star of the series, was Grampa Amos McCoy, a porch-rockin', gol-darnin', consarnin' old codger with a wheezy voice who loved to meddle in other people's affairs neighbors and kin alike. Three-time Academy Award winner Walter Brennan played the role to perfection. His kin included his grandson Luke (Richard Crenna) and Luke's new bride Kate (Kathy Nolan), Luke's teenage sister 'Aunt' Hassie (Lydia Reed), and 11-year-old brother Little Luke (Michael Winkleman). Rounding out the cast was the musically inclined farm hand Pepino (Tony Martinez) and George MacMichael (Andy Clyde), their argumentative neighbor. George's spinster sister Flora (Madge Blake) had eyes for Grampa but alas, it was not meant to be. The Real McCoys enjoyed a 6-year network run debuting October 3, 1957 and lasting until September 22, 1963.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Family Known As the Real McCoys, May 26, 2008

Infinity Entertainment is doing as great job with reasonable and timely releases of The Real McCoys. The 39 episode Season 3 first aired on July 17,1959. Imagine a series starting in July and running for 39 weeks!

Yes I know Infinity has remastered but not restored any of the season sets with each episode running a bit short at 22.5 minutes (still more than any of today's media). I'm sure they are using the most affordable media source available. Still the video is a nice clean grayscale and the audio is crisp. The occasional snap, crackle & pop of the audio & video kind of reminds me of first seeing them on the old family B&W 19" console.

Enjoy the comedic antics of Grampa Amos McCoy and family and the tender family moments as well. Super family friendly, recommended without reservation for all!
