As goofy as Granny is in this, one might wonder if those nice "Californ-ee" folks might have added a little something "ex-tree" in that pack!

  • These ads seemed too contrived and unconvincing - I don't recall ever seeing any of the cast smoking in the programmes themselves. I think these ads were less designed to make you take up smoking and more to switch brands - after all, once you were hooked you didn't need ads to keep yo on the habit.

  • Pearl is played by the great Bea Benaderet. She also played the next door neighbor to George Burns and Gracie Allen on the Burns & Allen TV Show of the 50's. She also cartoon voices for demale chartacters for Warner Bros from 1943 to 1955. She did the voice of "Granny" in the Tweety Bird cartoons and also the MaMa Bear character, ( " but, Henry!) Her biggest cartoon voice was that of Betty Rubble on the Flinstones. Her last role was the sitcom, "Petticoat Junction" 1963-68 as Kate Bradley.

  • @doctortabby The tobacco companies sponsored basically ALL television. You could say they built the industry.

  • I don't know when the last time was that I saw a show that featured it's actors in character advertising a sponsering product. From looking at videos such as this one, it seems that it was commonplace, at least in the fifties and early sixties. Beverly Hillbillies was a great show. It is funny and entertaining and I don't have to worry about my kids seeing something inappropriate for them on it. What ever happened to that kind of real creative commedy?
