About the show

The Beverly Hillbillies is an American television sitcom that was broadcast on CBS from 1962 to 1971. It featured an ensemble cast including Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas and Max Baer Jr. as the Clampetts, a poor backwoods family from the Ozark Mountains who move to posh Beverly Hills, California, after striking oil on their land.

The show was produced by Filmways in association with CBS Productions and was created by Paul Henning. It was followed by two other Henning-inspired series on CBS: Petticoat Junction and its spin-off Green Acres, which reversed the rags-to-riches, country-to-city model of The Beverly Hillbillies.

The Beverly Hillbillies ranked among the top 20 most-watched programs on American television for eight of its nine seasons, ranking as the number-one series of the year during its first two seasons, with 16 episodes that still remain among the 100 most-watched television episodes in American history. It accumulated seven Primetime Emmy nominations during its run. It continues to be aired in syndicated reruns and its ongoing popularity spawned a media franchise, including a 1993 film adaptation by 20th Century Fox.
