Beverly Hillbillies Season 2 opening.closing credits w/ integrated Winston cigarettes commercial

It’s nice to see things intact as they originally were, without editing. I know they can’t show that on tv, but at least we can see it somewhere.

The Winston Cigarettes sign on the side of the trailer was being pulled by a REA (Railway Express Agency) truck. The company was competed against UPS for package delivery by using the railways similar to FedEx using aviation. The company went out of business in the 1970s.

[@bernhardwall6876]

Growing up in the 70's and 80's, and watching all these old TV shows, I would notice how they would often compact portions of the end credits and leave a corner of the screen blank. Of course, those were the syndicated reruns, not the original network airings.

[@dsciarrino3663]

The best 👌

During the first two seasons,Winston alternated with Kellogg's as weekly sponsors of The Beverly Hillbillies.Beginning in fall 1964,Kellogg's was the sole sponsor.I often wondered if the Surgeon General's report was the reason Winston was dropped as a sponsor,maybe because the show was favorite of kids(like me,I had a Beverly Hillbillies lunh box from the second through sixth grades.)

[@starey1]

yes, I think I read somewhere that it WAS the reason THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES and THE FLINSTONES dropped them as a sponsor.

[@JJJBRICE]

The integrated commercials while they are fun to see required extra work for cast and crew. They had to be written, rehearsed and filmed in addition to show itself . The folks now a days do not have to be concerned about this extra load . Think about that while you see Harriet Nelson recite the virtues of a Kodak Brownie camera from 1957 .

[@fromthesidelines]

R.J. Reynolds [Winston] co-sponsored the series (with Kellogg's) from 1962 through '67. Bill Baldwin was the show's announcer.

[@XavierKatzone]

Wait - I just got it! "TEXAS TEA"! I always thought it was "Texas-T, " as in a grade of oil.

[@michaela.mccracken4461]

"THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES" had been presented by... WINSTON! We hope you've enjoyed it and we hope you will try Winston, because, Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should!

[@frankdenardo8261]

The ad was shown on and old REA(Railroad Express Agency) truck

[@JJJBRICE]

@@frankdenardo8261 Keeping those Winstons factory fresh from their North Carolina manufacture to the Brooklyn bodega where they were sold .

[@jadeblatz]

I remember watching The Beverly Hillbillies when I first got Amazon Prime a couple of years ago and the sponsor used to alternate between Kelloggs and Winstons, so I decided to start re-watching The Beverly Hillbillies on Prime and I noticed that they removed all of the Winston ads and replaced them with just Kelloggs ones which is a shame. I don't smoke and I know they don't run cigarette ads on TV any more but I liked seeing the occasional Winston ad for a little bit of nostalgia, nice to be able to watch them on KZbin!

[@philhugill8458]

THEY KILLED A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THEIR SECOND HAND SMOKE.

[@brunohinojosa6065]

2:33 the mansion is also used in cinderfella (1960).

[@frankdenardo8684]

CBS was known as the Country Broadcasting System being that programs back in the 1960's was rural oriented.

[@davidbrown8303]

Cigarettes caused a lot of people to suffer but it still really miss them days when I was a little boy. I was little my mother would chain smoke while I was setting on her lap and second hand smoke never killed me.

[@John80220]

Winston was the primary sponsor on producer Paul Henning's main series of the 1950s, "The Bob Cummings Show", and the association -- right down to Bill Baldwin as the announcer -- carried over to Henning's new series for CBS.

[@cmulwee001]

John80220 Some episodes had a PSA commercial between the end credits and the Filmways Presentation logo.

[@starey1]

yea a couple of those PSAs are on the DVDs.

[@markjeffries3684]

And FIlmways TV Productions was basically the McCadden Corporation, the producers of "The Bob Cummings Show/Love That Bob." after George Burns sold his company to Marty Roshonoff, from studio boss Al Simon on down.

[@fromthesidelines]

3:15- "'THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW' is next, on the CBS Television Network."

[@kevinkelly1586]

I remember seeing this 55+ years ago, but I thought the Hillbillies drove past a billboard rather than a truck advertising Winston.

[@XavierKatzone]

The billboard may have been in the Kellogg's ad. See ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqrMaHVjl7iqr5Y

[@mannmannsavage92]

Back when cigarettes were popular and common to see cigarette commercials

[@JJJBRICE]

Another thought . I often wonder on the BH Ms. Donna Douglas was usually wearing the tight blue jeans with the one size too small shirt with midriff sewned up, While on the same CBS network they gave the producers of the DVD show havoc over Ms. MTM wearing capris pants with a little lower hip showing on her frail frame . On second thought maybe CBS thought the characters had different status . Ms, Douglas played some wild critter loving character from out of hinterlands while Ms. MTM was a wholesome wife/mother living in the NYC suburbs .

[@JJJBRICE]

They even brought Bob Cummings" old sponsor , Winston cigarettes along with the many glamour girls and skirt chasing.
