Crappy and Factually INCORRECT “reporting”: BH was filmed on a soundstage, as is obvious and also documented in TV Guide pictorial tour of soundstage set in 1962, and substantiated by everyone who was a part of the show.

Exterior stick footage was used at Kirkeby mansion.

For anyone who’s still watching the video: there’s no one scene that got the show cancelled, it was every scene because the network thought there were too many “rural” shows on their station. There’s not one specific scene to point to.

No "scene" took The Beverly Hillbillies off the air. The new head of CBS did not like all the "rural" shows that dominated the CBS line-up. He was interested in more modern and adult fare. Therefore, many shows were cancelled. The Beverly Hillibillies was just one of shows that fell to the ax.

Tragically it was probably for the better. The very next year after the show was canceled, the star who played Granny passed away. Everyone knows if you took Granny out of the show it couldn't stand on its own two feet after that. That's too hard of a blow.

I never seen blacks, asians or indians on the Hooterville Train coming out of the petticoat junction. Never a minority customer in sam druckers store or guess star on the Beverly Hillbillies. uncle jed and some of those great black tap dancers would have made for a great episode and you would think eddie albert would have had some migrants helping him plant those green acres. But those were different times. What i have outlined to you is only some of the things that led up to the RURAL PURGE of these great shows and gave birth to ARCHIE BUNKER!!!

The Beverly Hillbillies went off the air because television was radically changing. New urban sitcoms like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and All in the Family debuted to strong ratings and critical fanfare. It all came to a head in the spring of 1971 with the "rural purge." The networks, especially CBS, canceled dozens of shows in order to drastically change its primetime lineup. The canceled shows included Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Mayberry R.F.D., Lassie, Hee Haw, Bonanza and Gunsmoke. There was no one scene of The Beverly Hillbillies that caused it to be canceled.

And, they were not canceled! Irene Ryan left "The Beverly Hillbillies", because she was offered a roll in a new Broadway musical "Pippin", as Berta, Pippin's grandmother. She stayed in the show for quite a while, until about a week or so before she passed away. Her plan was to return to "The Beverly Hillbillies" Her death was unexpected & heartbreaking.

They were all perfect in their roles, especially Granny. I loved it when she scrapped with Mrs. Drysdale, then she tells Jed that Mrs. Drysdale 'wrapped her hair around my fingers, then kept hitting my fist with her face over and over'. It's a shame that Max Baer Jr. didn't get big roles after the show's cancellation, because his performance showed he had a lot of talent. He could have played anything but the entertainment industry is mainly run by idiots.

Why people think they have to make shit up just to have their videos seen is beyond me!
And, wrong about the critics hating it! The first episode had one critic who gave it a bad review,, only because he had a grudge against Donna Douglas, who simply refused to give him the time of day!
The face is, the show was one of the #1 most favorite & most watched shows at the time! And it spawned two spinoffs as well! "Petticoat Junction", which was where Aunt Pearle lived during "The Beverly Hillbillies". But, in "Petticoat Junction", Aunt Pearle became Kate, the owner of the Shady Rest hotel! And, "Green Acres"!

In fact, it was shot at the General Services Studios in Hollywood. He took me there one day in the spring of '68 (I was 13) and I watched Irene Ryan do some rehearsing. Later, she gave me a picture of her in costume and signed it to me. That was the same studio where he also worked on Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, and a few other popular shows, ALL CBS!
