"Come and listen to the story 'bout a man named Jed" and the rest
of the colorful Clampett family, perhaps television's most unlikely
phenomenon to spring from the sixties. Hated by the critics but
enthusiastically embraced by audiences around the world, to this
day The Beverly Hillbillies still holds the Nielsen record for the
highest rated half-hour show in the history of television. 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. There's more here than you can shake a possum at. Sit a
spell.
