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.

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. Also, whoever made the video title is a jack ass liar.

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.

[@RBickersjr]

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.

[@bobullman]

@Hammerschlägen M it is my duty to answer your comment. For starters i didn't come on here to get political i guess i just got cought in the moment. no disrespect intended. 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!!!

[@regvision]

@Hammerschlägen M no i do not believe they want to enslave us but i do believe they want to conspire to keep America from becoming independant from them. We are their cash cow. The thought of US industry and independence scares them. This is why Pres.Trump will be Re elected!. And you are right about the media they are one sided and always stirring up mess.

It's nice KZbin gives you the option "Don't Recommend Channel". I will be clicking that if I ever see "Facts" Verse in my recommendations again. Anybody who has seen even one episode knows they struck oil while shooting at some food, not gold. How can a person make a video with "facts" when they have never seen even one episode of the show? Neither did they spend 30 seconds to look it up. The first sentence on any website describing the show says they struck oil. Wikipedia, IMDb, any website says they struck oil in the first sentence. Lazy lazy lazy.

So the critics didn't like the Beverly Hillbillies. In my 7+ decades of living, I long ago decided that most movie critics are too conceited and full of themselves to know what is or is not a great show. Generally speaking, the shows they criticize the most turn out to be the most entertaining.
