Over the years, the original television hit has inspired several highly rated network specials, an E! True Hollywood Story two-hour documentary, and even a big-screen motion picture from 20th Century Fox in 1993. Just in time to join the fortieth anniversary celebration of the classic television sitcom, The Beverly Hillbillies is filled with all the hillbilly country corn anyone could expect. Updated and expanded from the first edition, published in 1988, it is the ultimate TV book. Readers will also find hundreds of photographs, including 16 pages of color, fascinating trivia, behind-the-scenes stories, exclusive contributions from Paul Henning, the show's creator, a list of Granny's fixin's, the story of the popular theme song, Elly May's critters, Jethro's ""Double-Naught"" secrets, and an introduction by 93-year-old Buddy Ebsen, who played Jed Clampett in the series. Also included are a complete episode guide, cast biographies with all the inside scoop, and highlights from guest stars (John Wayne, Gloria Swanson, Sammy Davis Jr., and others). The Beverly Hillbillies is still shown every day on cable television's Nick at Night. This fortieth anniversary edition of the book will become a collector's item for all who loved and love the show.

Granny was always cooking hogback, gizzards, or crawdad, and anyone who looked at Jethro or Elly Mae knew Granny's cooking was nutritious.

The movie features Cloris Leachman as Granny, Dabney Coleman as Mr. Drysdale, Lily Tomlin as Jane Hathaway, and Jim Varney as Jed.
When a surveyor finds a swamp full of oil on Jed Clampett's (Buddy Ebsen) land, the backwoods family goes from rags to riches. In The Beverly Hillbillies Season 1, Jed moves in his entire family, including mother-in-law Granny Emmy nominee Irene Ryan), daughter Elly May (Donna Douglas) and cousin Jethro (Max Baer, Jr.) to California. In the first 36 episodes, Beverly Hills society has no idea who just joined their ranks. Living next door to money-hungry banker Milburn Drysdale (Raymond Bailey) and his pretentious wife Margaret (Harriet E. MacGibbon), the Clampetts get into their fair share of hilarious misadventures and misunderstanding. Even with Drysdales compassionate secretary Miss Jane Hathaway (Emmy nominee Nancy Kulp) on their side, the family still manages to run into trouble as they navigate their lavish new lifestyle. With their simple ways, honourable intentions and down-home wisdom, The Beverly Hillbillies instantly became a one-in-a-million comedy classic.
This text argues that the hillbilly - in his various guises - has been viewed by mainstream Americans simultaneously as a violent degenerate who threatens the modern order and as a keeper of traditional values and thus symbolic of a nostalgic past free of the problems of contemporary life.
With the nation reeling from the cultural and political upheavals of the 1960s era, imaginings of the white South as a place of stability represented a bulwark against unsettling problems, from suburban blandness and empty consumerism to race riots and governmental deceit. A variety of individuals during and after the civil rights era, including writers, journalists, filmmakers, musicians, and politicians, envisioned white southernness as a manly, tradition-loving, communal, authentic—and often rural or small-town—notion that both symbolized a refuge from modern ills and contained the tools for combating them. The South of the Mind tells this story of how many Americans looked to the country’s most maligned region to save them during the 1960s and 1970s. In this interdisciplinary work, Zachary J. Lechner bridges the fields of southern studies, southern history, and post–World War II American cultural and popular culture history in an effort to discern how conceptions of a tradition-bound, “timeless” South shaped Americans’ views of themselves and their society’s political and cultural fragmentations. Wide-ranging chapters detail the iconography of the white South during the civil rights movement; hippies’ fascination with white southern life; the Masculine South of George Wallace, Walking Tall, and Deliverance; the differing southern rock stylings of the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd; and the healing southernness of Jimmy Carter. The South of the Mind demonstrates that we cannot hope to understand recent U.S. history without exploring how people have conceived the South, as well as what those conceptualizations have omitted.
