For almost a decade, the suddenly rich Clampett clan wreaked havoc on the Hollywood social scene in the popular Beverly Hillbillies series, and although some of the jokes in the episodes included in this box set haven’t aged well, the spirit of the show is still strong. While the premise was a bit narrow, the performances of the main characters, particularly Buddy Ebsen as Jed Clampett and Irene Ryan as Granny, are broadly entertaining. It’s fun to watch the characters grow over the course of the 40 episodes in the set, and the bonus documentary gives you a compelling look behind the scenes with the actors who created them. It’s a great nostalgia trip for original fans, and the perfect introduction for TV fans looking for something ‘new’ to watch.
