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.

But if you go back to these shows you will notice that they were shielding us from the realities of those days. For example Gomer Pyle never ever mentioned the vietnam war or its aftermath. 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.

My cousin was a set builder on the show. I attended his funeral in Burbank and Paul Henning gave the eulogy. In the early 60s, they allowed my family to watch filming. I wasn't interested so didn't go, but my parents and grandparents went. My grandmother was fascinated with granny. I think the episode they saw being filmed was the one where granny could tell the weather with a cricket or beetle.

Have you seen what Obummer and his puppet Biden are planning for the U.S. Dollar? The bill has actually been around for several years. In essence, Americans would be forced to trade in their current cash for the new cash and there would be an exchange rate. Something like you give big gov $3 dollars and they give you $1 of the new money. It has been downhill since we no longer have the gold standard.
