The rough-hewn Clampetts are mistaken for servants as they try to adapt to their new environment.

Main cast

J.D. "Jed" Clampett Although he had received little formal education, Jed Clampett has a good deal of common sense. A good-natured man, he is the apparent head of the family. Jed's wife (Elly May's mother) died but is referred to in the episode "Duke Steals A Wife" as Rose Ellen. Jed is shown to be an expert marksman and is extremely loyal to his family and kinfolk. The huge oil pool in the swamp he owned was the beginning of his rags-to-riches journey to Beverly Hills. Although he longs for the old ways back in the hills, he makes the best of being in Beverly Hills. Whenever he has anything on his mind, he sits on the curbstone of his mansion and whittles until he comes up with the answer. Jed's full first name is never given in the television series, though 'Jedediah' was used in the 1993 Beverly Hillbillies theatrical movie (coincidentally, on Ebsen's subsequent series, Barnaby Jones, Barnaby's nephew J.R. was also named Jedediah). In one episode Jed and Granny reminisce about seeing Buddy Ebsen and Vilma Ebsen—a joking reference to the Ebsens' song and dance act. Jed appears in all 274 episodes.

Granny (Daisy May Moses) Called "Granny" by all, relatives or not, shotgun-toting Daisy Moses, Jed's mother-in-law, is a true daughter of Dixie. Paul Henning, the show's creator/producer quickly disposed of the idea of Granny being Jed's mother, which would have changed the show's dynamics, making Granny the matriarch and Jed subordinate to her. Granny can be aggressive but is often over-ruled by Jed. She is a revisionist reb to the core, defending President Jefferson Davis, the Stars and Bars, and the simple life. Short-fused and easily angered, Granny fancies herself a "dunked" (not "sprinkled") Christian with forgiveness in her heart. She abhors "revenuers" and blue-coat Yankees. A self-styled "M.D." — "mountain doctor" — she claims to have an edge over expensive know-nothing city physicians. In lieu of anesthesia, Granny uses her "white lightning" brew before commencing on painful treatments such as leech bleeding and yanking teeth with pliers. Short and scrappy, she often wields a double-barreled, 12-gauge shotgun. The lone time she shoots it (with rock salt) was during a mock Indian invasion created by Mr. Drysdale. She is also able to tell the precise time via a sun dial and the weather via a beetle (Granny Verses the Weather Bureau). Without her glasses, Granny is extremely nearsighted — once in a crossover with the Green Acres show, Granny mistakes a dog for a baby child and a coffee pot for a telephone. Two of Granny's phobias are "Injuns" (she actually buys wigs so the Clampetts won't be "scalped") and the "cement pond" (swimming pool--she has a fear of water). In a long story arc in the show's ninth season, Elly May dates a U.S. Navy frogman, which confuses Granny: After seeing the frogman climb out of the pool in his skin-diving wear, she thinks that anyone who swims in the pool will be turned into a frog. She also has a peculiar way of retelling the American Civil War, in which she thinks the South has won and Jefferson Davis is the president, while calling Sherman's March as 'Sherman's Retreat to the Sea.' Any attempts to correct her meet with failure. She is also known for slicing off switches to use on Jethro, mainly whenever he goes too far with his dumb and idiotic schemes. There are references to Granny growing up in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. From episode 9: "When I was a girl back in Tennessee, I set so many boys' hearts on fire that they took to calling that neck of the woods The Smoky Mountains." Granny's full name, Daisy Moses, allegedly an homage to the popular and dearly loved folk artist Anna Mary Robertson, known to the world as Grandma Moses. (Grandma Moses died in 1961, a year before The Beverly Hillbillies made its television debut.) Granny is frequently referred to as "Granny Clampett" in a number of episodes but technically she is a Moses. Granny appears in all 274 episodes.

Awesome! I love The Beverley Hillbillies.

@ukulelemike You are funny ! Consider the lilies in the field. You would probably have said that Jesus was deluded if you were around at the time.

This is heaven, there is no other place, no hell either.

Thats what Jesus tried to tell people but 2000 years later people still do not listen.

What is wrong with the world that can not be put right by following Jesus word?

You are waiting for a better life and he said he came to give us LIFE in all its fullness,

[ukulelemike]

@tegid699 You think this is Heaven, and you think I'M deluded? Just tell the nice nurse its time for your meds, and let the kind man in the white coat wheel you back to your room, now.

[tegid699]

@ukulelemike will it have chocolate rivers and lemonade springs?

Will the animanls have rubber teeth?

Will it rain?

Whats wrong with this world, you are in heaven now and you have no idea! you are deluded !

@spenderofthrones The reason why Flat & Scruggs is not on those DVD's is the excessive royalites of copyright. Thank Bill Clinton and the Republicans back in the late 90s, including Newt Gingrich who was House Speaker they signed the DMCA into law.

Ahhh, they don't make 'em like they used to! Such a welcome relief from all the crap that's on "television" these days. The Hillbillies were so pure and innocent; what you see is what you get. Thanks, Nologorecords; for sharing this old-timer with us here; what a great idea. It really made me laugh when Elly-Mae got to tusselin' with Miss Jane, and then Granny wanted to get in on the scuffle - ha, ha, ha; hee hee!! A great opportunity to escape from the world for a few minutes.
