I first found out about The Beverly Hillbillies in 2019, been obsessed ever since!! My favorite platform to watch it on is Pluto.TV- although Pluto doesn't have every single episode. I must've watched almost all the episodes over 3x times. Stuart used to poke fun how often I'd have TBH on, i'd have it on almost nonstop. It is my favorite show. I have a Granny bobblehead, given to me as a gift by Stuart.
One day I'd like to own Granny's Beverly Hillbillies Cookbook, a cookbook based on the show. Made in 1994, 23 years after the show's end. I'd love to own all The Beverly Hillbilly memorabilia but I know that's borderline impossible (unless I become a millionaire just like Jed)
I find solice in Elly May. she's ideal. I didn't change my name to be hers though, my name (Elliante) was inspoired by Aidan's last name (Elliott) and Dante. It's hard to decide which character from the show is truly my favorite, I love them all. My least favorite would be Jethro, his personality shift after Season 2 was jarring and kinda killed his character imo. I much prefer the lovable himbo from the previous seasons than the arrogant dim-witted jerk he'd become.
,.Trivia.,
- The abbreviation for The Beverly Hillbillies is "TBH", predating what we now know as today as "to be honest" at least by 20 years.
- The Beverly Hillbillies ran for 9 years! 1962 to 1971. But the orginal idea was conceptualized in 1961 after Paul Henning was contacted due to the desire for more television programming.
