About
As of 2026, it's 64 years old.
The Beverly Hillbillies ran on one perfect joke for nine seasons: a backwoods family strikes oil, moves to a Beverly Hills mansion, and proceeds to be magnificently baffled by it all. Fish-out-of-water comedy, but the fish are richer than everyone around them and care less.
It was a massive hit that critics loved to hate, proving — as TV would prove many more times — that 'silly' and 'wildly popular' are very good friends.
Broad, goofy, and gleefully simple, The Beverly Hillbillies is the show that turned 'rich hicks confuse the elite' into a national pastime.
