Beverly Hillbillies 50's -60's Fun Facts

September 26, 1962 - September 7, 1971
CBS Situation Comedy Starring...
Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, Max Baer,
Raymond Bailey, Nancy Kulp, and Bea Benaderet

518 Crestview Drive, Beverly Hills, California, was the residence of the Clampett family: Jed, a widow mountaineer; his beautiful
unmarried daughter, Elly May; his mother-in-law, Daisy "Granny" Moses; and his dumb nephew, Jethro Bodine - a simple backwoods family who became millionaires when oil was discovered on their property. 

The Beverly Hillbillies was one the most popular shows of the  sixties. They were just simple country folk who at first didn't know what a telephone was.

• The theme song was #44 on the charts in 1962.
  

• The 1971 cancellation of the series resulted from CBS' desire to erase its image as a "rural network." In process, other rural shows (including "Green Acres" and "Petticoat Junction") were canceled as well.
  

• Rose to #1 in the ratings faster than any other show within the first three weeks since its debut, a feat still unmatched to this day, where it remained for two years. The following eight episodes that aired during the wake of JFK's assassination are the most watched half-hour shows ever.
   

• The Drysdale's bank was The Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills.
   

• The Clampetts' bloodhound name was Duke.
