You know the drill: country bumpkin Jed Clampett (Buddy Ebsen)strikes oil and moves his family to Beverly Hills, where they continue living like hicks. Whether it's Granny's (Irene Ryan) superstitions, Elly Mae's (Donna Douglas) kindness gone overboard, or Jethro's (Max Baer) idiocy (he proudly admits to having a "sixth grade educated brain") that irk greedy banker Milburn Drysdale (Raymond Bailey) and his sassy secretary Jane Hathaway (Nancy Kulp), "The Beverly Hillbillies" always finds a way to make you laugh. It has truly withstood the test of time.
Among other things, I completely reject the idea that "Green Acres" was "The Beverly Hillbillies" in reverse. "The Beverly Hillbillies" is a timeless classic, and "Green Acres" is timeless garbage.
