When it comes to Funny the Hillbillies is one comedy show i never missed. I could have developed abbs from laughing so hard especially at Granny and Jethro. The one episode i loved where Granny is flying around the mansion on a motor cycle and winds up in the swimming pool had me in stitches. Also the one where they are flying back home the first time on a jet was great too. Where ever they all are now im sure they are all having a good laugh together, god bless them all and may their memory never die.
I love the inside of these different shows a lot from the 1960s. It lets us know where the actors done in our life. And where they are right now, that is truly awesome
Watching this in April 2026 and man this really hits deep. I grew up with the Clampetts but had no idea so much drama and sadness went down when the cameras stopped rolling. Seeing how legends like Buddy Ebsen and Irene Ryan actually passed is just heartbreaking. It is wild that Max Baer Jr is the only one left now. Hearing the real stories behind the scenes makes the show feel so much more human. They brought so much joy to everyone while dealing with all that heavy stuff. RIP to the whole crew fr. 🚜💰🕊
growing up as a boy I enjoyed watching this show part of her routine TV along with Sanford and Son and Eight is Enough and many others Mr Magoo and lots more that I can remember and reflect back on
It is absolutely heart-wrenching and deeply nostalgic to revisit the beloved Clampett family in 2026, marking 64 years since The Beverly Hillbillies first struck oil and moved to those "swimming pools and movie stars!" 😱 Seeing the "then and now" transitions of this iconic cast is a powerful journey through TV history, led by the legendary Max Baer Jr., who at 88 remains the "last man standing" and a vibrant keeper of the show's legacy, even after his ambitious plans for a Jethro-themed casino faced so many hurdles over the years. However, our hearts are profoundly heavy as we reflect on the "13 tragic deaths" and the quiet passing of the legends who built the show’s soul, from the iconic Buddy Ebsen (Jed), who passed away in 2003 at 95, to the irreplaceable Irene Ryan (Granny), whose 1973 death from heart disease just after her Broadway success left a void that could never be filled. It is deeply moving to honor the memory of Donna Douglas, our eternal Elly May, who passed away in 2015 from pancreatic cancer, and the sharp-witted Nancy Kulp (Miss Hathaway) and Raymond Bailey (Mr. Drysdale), both of whom faced their final battles with cancer and heart disease decades ago. From the "off-camera" secrets like the political rift between Nancy and Buddy to the more recent 2024 and 2025 losses of veteran guest stars who graced the mansion, this tribute is a magnificent, bittersweet celebration of a cast that taught us that no matter how many millions you have, it’s the "kinfolk" you keep close that truly matters. This look back proves that while the jalopy has stopped running and most of the stars have taken their final bows, the laughter and "Welllllll, doggies!" of the Clampetts will echo through the hills of television history forever!
