Joanna Barnes and Doris Packer guest star in these two episodes from the Fall of1963. Look for the original advertising for these episodes. Doris Packer would go on to reprise her role of Mrs. Fenwick in a later episode.
Jed often said wise things in this show. A great cut above Gilligan's island, Green Acres, etc. etc (none of which I watch). I'm quite a TV and Film snob but for its time and what it was, one of the best. "Whatcha doin', Jed.? Jest settin' here. whittlin' on one of Elli Mae's cookies".
Elle May really was ahead of her time wearing her jeans and flannel shirts. That rich girl knew it. 10 years later everyone was dressing in jeans and flannel shirts.
I watched the Beverly Hillbillies from the 1st episode every week never saw many of the adverts. It was my favourite program I'm 72 now and can still remember the theme song.
The commercials really bring back the epoch, more than the products themselves. The way we thought of things (even ciggies, but especially the Kellogg's). Agreed, that made the video. The empty places, of course, were either local or other commercials. Would've loved to see them, but the master film prolly only had the main sponsors. Quite nice!
59 and the same thing. A bit odd, though, eh? I initially wasn't sure what was going on when I saw Uncle Jed out of character with a cigarette in his mouth, and then they all sit there and go on that sales pitch. It was clever, though, how they worked in Granny's soothsaying skills with the cigarette smoke. They took something that is nowadays seen as a total negative, cigarette smoke that might disturb somebody else, and made it seem like something interesting or positive. It was a different world back then.
I agree with you, Richard. Two friends of mine back in the 1980s produced a series of audio programs with "Mummy" and Cynthia Fenwick as the central characters. They provided all the voices, and had such "guest stars" as George Burns and Gracie Allen, Leslie Caron, Hermione Gingold, Eva Gabor and Eddie Albert. Plus other people, usually high school teachers, they would often imitate. It was really done for their own enjoyment as teenagers with nothing to do in small Texas town. But with the multiple vintage tv and movie references, these were very funny to me.
You are 350% correct!!! I love the 2 episodes they are in! Joanna Barnes is still alive but suffered from a stroke! She has a Ph.D. in English from UCLA. I love her role as Cynthia Fenwick! They way she speaks is priceless! "Oh mummy relax”! Of course perfectly matched with Doris Packer as Mrs. Fenwick-also from Dobbie Gillis as Mrs. Chatsworth Osborne. Beasley where is the nearest phone front or back of limousine? That priceless fight between Mrs. Fenwick and Mrs. Drysdsle-Harriet McGibbon; of course the absolute fabulous Nancy Culp(Jane Hathaway-also Pamela Livingstone of The Biddle Birdwatchers of America on Love That Bob) the outstanding Raymond Bailey(Milburn Drysdsle)!!! Thanks not a million but a billion kevshrop for giving us these episodes!!! Grits and Jowls the maid and butler. Common bond with the Clampetts: an oppressed minority-millionaires! Hilarious! Your Grace. Your's too. I’m a pillar of society. I’ll cut you down to a stub! If your father could see this from the grave he’d turn over in this mausoleum! Oh mummy soon Princess Grace and Jackie will be wearing this style. Oooo are they also coming to the Clampetts? Oh mummy. I’ve been watching the supreme Beverly Hillbillies since it came out in the early 1960s when I was a pre-teen! Joanna Barnes died yesterday 4/29/22. RIP!!! Her greatest and most memorable role as Cynthia Fenwick!!!!!
Been forever since I saw a cigarette commercial incorporated into a tv show like this. It was a common practice back in the day but disappeared when the gov't banned tobacco advertising in the USA in 1971. This was a great episode.
Today the pharmaceutical companies run 3 ads ever break for something that will be recalled in 6 months and the next commercial will be "if you have been injured".
In the pilot episode , Miss Jane began like everyone else. After Mr. Drysdale explained to her what was going on, she fell into line. And who from Bugtussel is not loveable and charming ?
Nancy Kulp appeared in many sitcoms before and after the Beverly Hillbillies. She was on I Love Lucy, Ozzie & Harriet and Sanford & Son to mention a few. She would be utterly despised by today's ultra extreme right wing, Neo-Nazi Trumpists and Q-Anon Psychotics due to her sexual preference.
So I'm going to repeat a comment that I put on the wrong episode as this is the correct one. The entire cast including Cynthie and her mother are just so full of class. Even the vittles ad shows that they are special. Much love and admiration.
How ironic that after I finished watching these episodes, I looked up the two actresses that played the widow Fenwick and her daughter to discover that Joanna Barnes passed away yesterday. She also played in both Parent Trap movies. These episodes were pure genius. Too bad they can't do good television like this now.
So sorry to hear of Joanna’s passing. My only other recollection of her was her occasional appearances as a panelist on the early 1970s version of What’s My Line. Wally Brunner was host. Anyone else remember that?
@Melissa Walker You could have saved us from the diversionary preamble about the two actresses you referenced initially - and dove right into your TRUE purpose for your comment...which was to foist upon us (once again) the increasingly "Back When" trope about how things were so much better in the olden days. Well - I'm a product of those olden days, myself...and a lot about The Good Ole Days SUCKED.
Ah, the good old days. When smoking was good for you. I can still remember the permanent clouds floating inside offices and the yellowed ceiling tiles.
@@davidcox3076 and 📺 drs promoting Camels 🐫 and Kools (my first) as "easy on your throat"💥🤪 Now 40+ yrs on I have lung cancer & COPD, and can't imagine why (FU cig commercials!) 🖕☠👿🚬🚬🚬
@@chukcanuk: Did you think I didn’t know? I’ve seen each episode at least 1000 times since I began watching in the very early 1960s when I was a pre-teen! Granny also called it Tennessee tea!!!
FYI. The surgeon General back then had ads in magazines that smoking was good for you....and yet we still haven't learned much about trusting the government....
Nancy Kulp, Harriet MacGibbon, Doris Packer, Joanna Barnes... some of the best character actresses in the business on one show! Who nowadays can come even an mile close to matching their versatility?
Thank you!!!! You took the words right out of my mouth!!!! I can’t believe someone thinks exactly along my lines!!! Unfortunately Joanna Barnes never did much beyond this! In the "old" world character actors and actresses ruled as far as I’m concerned!!! Today there are none and the ones taking the leading roles don’t measure up!!!! They never got top billing but they were the real stars and made the shows or movies!!!!
Yes, and many times the character actors had the capacity to outshine the “stars”. For example Don Knotts made the Andy Griffith, when he left it was never the same.
@@paulcaron400: Don Knotts absolutely not!!!! He’s the character you love to hate who ruined that program!!! As for Nancy Culp, Harriet McGibbon, Raymond Bailey yes they made the program and outshone those frustrating Clampets!!! Without them The Beverly Hillbillies would never have lasted!
Donna Douglass was 31 in 1963. @10:38 "Next week, Jackie Kennedy will have one." This episode aired Oct 16, 1963, a month-and-a-half later Jackie Kennedy would be scrambling out of her car moments after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. @08:50 we see the ill fated Sharon Tate, victim of the inhuman Manson Family murders. @11:16 Earl Scruggs strumming a bar of Simple Gifts (Lord of the Dance). R.I.P. Joanna Barnes who died only one week and two days ago, April 29, 2022. This trivia brought to you by Winston. We hope you enjoy Winston cigarettes, and remember, Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.
I truly enjoyed THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES when I was about 8, 9, 10 and 11 years old. After I had moved to Hawaii I began watching the reruns but this time I had some Paka 'Lo Lo ( calitus, Maui wow-eeee, marijuana !) and I would lmgdao, only took a couple of hits, that's all we needed . Those shows were re-cycled and enjoyed for years. My daughter and her two boys laughed along to the fun too. And I imagine it won't be long until my great grandchildren will be laughing with the Clampetts as well !
Beverly Hillbillies was a show that could have 2 or more alternate takes on reality running parallel. This episode has a good few of them.A Sufi tale was told every week on this show. Somebody on Wowee may pick up on that. What was I talking about?
PlutoTV is streaming the majority of the series on their site, unedited and in HD. Sadly, though, no cast commercials. This was absolutely the greatest TV show ever made. I share the same birthday as Max, December 4th.
When the theme song was playing I literally knew/sang every word to the words of the song. I have memorized this many years ago when I was a kid. Still know it! Loved the show. Great concept for the show. Clever. That mansion where they lived just sold again. In Bel Air on St. Cloud avenue.
I was 7 when BH premiered. It was a weekly must for our family, and dad loved it especially. It's still hilarious all these years later. And they're like seeing them for the first time since I don't remember most of them!
This is the first time I've seen a cigarette add in the shows the must of cut the reruns ,iam 66yrs so i go back a few years, very surprised to see smoke ads for Winstons cigarettes 🤫😎
Thank you so much kevshrop for showing these episodes, including the complete theme songs at the beginning and the end of each episode as well as the original commercials. This was such a treat! The picture and audio were very well done too. 👍. I love this show. It's hilarious!!
@@mr.blackhawk142 I believe it. Of course, the actress Irene Ryan was much younger than the character Granny that she portrayed on "The Beverly Hillbillies." She wore extremely thick makeup to portray Granny. I think that she was actually in her 40s or 50s in real life when "The Beverly Hillbillies" started in the early 1960s. Google is way off on her age.
@@mr.blackhawk142 Back in the days when the show was filmed, we used to have "movie star magazines". (Sort of like People mag.) I remember an article about Irene being in a store, and she was about to pay for an item. The story goes that the cashier recognized "Granny" and remarked, "it's a wonder what they can do with makeup these days". Irene said she almost forgot to take her purchase with her as she left the store.
I see it has already been mentioned that Joanna Barnes passed away only two days ago. The character Mary was played by Sharon Tate who appeared 15 times in the Beverly Hillbillies. She later married Roman Polanski but was unfortunately one of the Manson family murder victims. She was only 26 years old at the time of her death.
For the viewers who do not know the show was called Dateline : Hollywood and included Rona Barrett' s gossip . I remember Ms. Barnes interviewing Jayne Mansfield shortly before Ms. Mansfield 's death . This was taped just before her death and telecast just after with Ms. Barnes giving an special introduction. Both ladies were dressed in the short dresses of time .
The interview with Jayne Mansfield aired the day after Ms. Mansfield's death. ABC wanted to take advantage of the timeliness. BTW, I have never forgiven WVEC, the ABC affiliate in Norfolk, VA, for pre-empting "Dateline: Hollywood" (I was living in Virginia Beach at the time). I developed a crush on Joanna when she was on "Trials of O'Brien" as Peter Falk's ex-wife and would have gladly tuned in in the mornings (when I wasn't in school) to watch her.
First time I ever saw episodes of the Beverly Hillbillies was in the late 1980s. Growing up in the 1970s as a voracious watcher of tv, I watched lots of daily syndicated reruns of classic tv shows, but the beverly hillbillies wasn't one of them. Reason being I don't recall it airing in my area. If it did air where I lived, it must've been at an inconvenient time such as during school hours or after my required bedtime. But over they years, naturally every now and then I'd read or hear a reference to beverly hillbillies. Fast forward to the late 1980s. Cable tv was growing by leaps and bounds. And snatching up the broadcasting rights to all my old classic tv shows, leaving me with little to nothing to watch. I was getting more and more hungry for my old classic tv shows, but we couldnt afford cable tv. One day, about after new years eve, I just happened to stop in a local drug store. On their shelves they were trying to get rid of all their christmas related leftover stock. Clearance discounts on all their christmas related items. Among which were videotapes of christmas episodes of classic tv shows. Among them were christmas episodes of the beverly hillbillies. I bought a copy and watched it at home. Finally got to see Beverly Hillbillies, if only a few episodes. It is indeed a fun, entertaining, charming show. It's easy to see why people still watch and talk about it many decades after it went off the air.
Those of you who are fans and in the know will recall another great episode The War of The Roses that include the fabulous actress Rosiland Knight(Vanessa) and her English accent. I bring her up to compare her speaking style with that of Joanna Barnes(a different type)!!! Sadly Rosiland also passed away a year or two ago. RIP Rosiland.
Thank you for posting the titles of both episodes. Recently people have been posted multiple episodes of a TV series but only posting the name of one of the episodes.
I love the way they made this into one long episode. It is one of the best. I love Doris Packer as Mrs. Rayburn on Beaver and Mrs. Sohmers on Burns and Allen. If you haven’t seen her encounter with Gracie you should search those classics right now.
Oh yes you're so right. Doris Packer is so great, I always loved her roles with many of them as a woman of sophistication, also a pillar of society just like Mrs Drysdale. It's all their way of speaking, so debonair so snooty. Only miss Drysdale can pull it off so well. Doris is a little more humble. if that's the right term.. And this cat fight both seeing them stoop so low pulling hair. There was one to be remembered in the annals of black and white TV.. I got to say they're both a riot with their reactions and expressions on her face are priceless. I got to say when I think of Doris I also think of Miss Drysdale because they're so well fitted in this double episode. Maybe Agnes Morehead could rival them but these two I love.. Thank you so much for posting these two, Cuz I never really seen the two episodes side by side. Always something to do around my folks house being 13 at that time. I suppose TV doesn't keep my attention too long thanks again take care stay safe everybody
@@georgeplagianos6487: I loved Agnes Moorhead in Bewitched(I didn’t like the program) and other movies but she would absolutely never fit in either of these episodes as Mrs. Fenwick!!! Doris was perfect and Joanna was the supreme match!!! My question is how they found Joanna and had the foresight to know she could do an outstanding Cynthia since she was not really well known either before or after these episodes and didn't do this type of character in the 1950s!
The Clampers were the most solid, "down to earth" folks in Beverly Hills. No fluff, no tinsel, no pretense! "The greatest joy in living comes from the joy of giving."
@@michaelwascom62 Not a big deal, Michael - I think my correction was in error, too, should be "Clampett" - by the way, were you aware that Skype (on mine, anyway) has an "edit" feature that allows you to make changes to a message you have sent, even long after you've sent it.
Boy, I'm in love. Just saw these 2 episodes recently in 2021. In my opinion, Joanna Barnes was smoking Hot, especially in "The Clampett look" episode. Plus, I loved her character name, Cynthia Fenwick. Long names are high class (Cynthia for long, instead of Cindy for short)❤ If I find someone (I'm single) like this character Cynthia, I would be the happiest man. I'm going to watch everything I can with Joanna Barnes, from movies, TV, and talk shows. Thanks you for sharing this episode.
@@kevshrop Thank You soo Much. If I found a girl like her. I would never want any other woman. I will watch those movies, and T.V. shows. I know I may not like her other characters, like the one she plays in this one. When I first saw this episode, I was smitten by Joanna Barnes. Also, this episode made me laugh, more than any other episode of the Beverly Hillbillies. Thanks again for sharing.
@@kevshrop Joanna Barnes is Awesome in Auntie Mame and the Parent Trap. In my opinion, she is still very Beautiful. It's the character and persona she plays. She acts exactly like High Class. I love a woman who acts that way. Just saw the trailer, will rent it and watch it here on RU-vid, I may purchase in from RU-vid and I will definitely buy a DVD hard copy. Thank so much for suggesting it.😀
Max has had quite the life, at times (certainly pre-BH) he went thru some tough times. I didnt realize his gf from years ago committed suicide, that had to horrible for him. Just as the other actors in the show did, he certainly nailed the role of Jethro. Thanks very much Uncle Bob
That blurb at the end talking about how 19% of income goes towards food was fascinating. That was in 1963. I wondered how that changed, if any. So I Googled it and found: “In 2020, U.S. consumers spent an average of 8.6 percent of their disposable personal income on food-divided between food at home (5.0 percent) and food away from home (3.6 percent).”
I grew up in the big house on the top of the hill. After the Beverly Hillbillies, I felt more comfortable mingling with the poor kids from the flatlands.
Nancy Kulp had a slight British accent in the BH. Many thought she was from Britian. She was born and raised in Harrisonburg Pa. She served as a Lt. Jr Grade in the Naval Res. during WW2.
This is the first episode I've seen that included the original commercials. Winston cigarettes and Kellogg's cereals were the exclusive sponsors of BH. In 1960's, most TV shows had exclusive sponsors.
This is a priceless episode😂. The haves meet the snobs and mrs Drysdale helping load up the truck is too funny. The Bev Hillbillies has always been my favorite tv show. No one could have created a better one from my youth to old age. Weeel doggies, hot diggity dog
Laughing so hard....can hardly type a comment!! ...oh 😂😂😂😂😚😘never saw these episodes!!!. so great ....saw later ones & re- runs a barely remember the commercial brought back such awesome memories of Ft Worth Mother Grandmom Aunt & Uncle..us laughing so o hard even little bitty girls Kim & me...little laughing so hard ....Mom smoked Winston's too...hadn't heard that commercial slogan ..in 30 + yrs ..thank Soo MUCH 😂😂😂😂😘💜💜🇨🇱🇨🇱
@@fredtello I just meant the Nostalgia of the commercial......besides ,the point what would you know of it ...yes I lost both my Parents ...but why make a comment like that ...rude
