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.
first thing wrong off the bat, also I don't remember a scene pinpointed for the fall of the show, just a cbs exec stupid enough to mess with a winning show
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.
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.
@@RBickersjr The word I read was it was the CEOs wife who killed it, along with Green Acres & Petticoat Junction. Apparently she was mocked by her friends for the backwoods shows on CBS and convinced hubby to dump the highly rated shows for some more high brow fair.
@@bobullman I don't disagree with you on why it was cancelled. I was just commenting that Granny happened to pass away the next year after it was ended and that the show wouldn't be the same without her.
Yes ! This video's come on is a total fabrication ! What a gyp ! The show was cancelled because the network decided to go with a more urban & more affluent demographic. Thus they cancelled all rural based shows: The Hillbillies, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction & Mayberry RFD. And Mayberry RFD was in the Top Ten !

A long story to set up the final joke. That didn't kill the series. It was already in its last season, due to the rural purge of CBS.
I have the series, and my wife and I watch 4 or 5 episodes before falling asleep. One of the funniest shows ever, now that I caught all the double entendres. That's what was so funny, since we missed many of them as kids. This and Green Acres were and still are among my top 5, here in June 2021.
I do to, I load up some episodes & add some 'Real Mccoys ' & let them play. I grew up with these kind of shows & still love them. I have DVD'S of Andy Griffith shows to.
Many shows from this times period, especially westerns, have "adult" scenes and dialog that have a different meaning to me now than they did when I was a kid.
while the title was very much misleading, he does say in here that there wasn't one scene it was a combination. but quite frankly that should have been said at the very beginning.

@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!!!
@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.
That's what I said! There was no controversial scene! The show ended because Irene Ryan as hired to star in a brand new musical on Broadway with Ben Vereen! The musical was "Pippin", and she played Bertha, Pippin's grandmother! And, she remained in the show until she passed away! Why people think they have to make shit up just to have their videos seen is beyond me! And, wrong about the critics hating it! The first episode had one critic who gave it a bad review,, only because he had a grudge against Donna Douglas, who simply refused to give him the time of day! The fact is, the show was one of the #1 most favorite & most watched shows at the time! And it spawned two spinoffs as well! "Petticoat Junction", which was where Aunt Pearle lived during "The Beverly Hillbillies". But, in "Petticoat Junction", Aunt Pearle became Kate, the owner of the Shady Rest hotel! And, "Green Acres"! And, ALL THREE were a hit!
Striking oil was very much the same as finding gold. Even without oil needed with other energy sources, it is still vital for plastics and so much more. Gold was a throw away metal in some cultures cuz it was too soft. Jewelry made it something, and that it stays forever with lots of science uses doesn't hurt. Those will always have value.

Out-of-left-field character creation, and clever writing ... the humour was a bit dry and understated at times , but very incisisve , and engaged the thinking process. The Beverly Hillbillies is from the golden era of tv; Green acres is another superb show from that era.
They actually ADMIT there was No scene and I, like an idiot kept sorta waiting for it. What is that Dickenson line? Hope is the thing without feathers. No, that was a Woody Allen book. I'm just plain disappointed. I wanted there to be a scene so bad!!!

In 1971, the elitists at CBS cancelled every wholesome show on the network. The elitists wanted comedies that were edgy and controversial, with characters screaming and insulting each other over political issues. Comedy died on CBS. Things have only gotten worse over the decades. That's why TV today is so cringeworthy.
After about 6 minutes I discovered that this should have been titled "If there was a controversial Scene that took 'The Beverly Hillbillies' off the Air, I don't know what it was".
@@johnbockelie3899 There was at least one episode where she hung up a poster of Jefferson Davis and said that she would not have anybody in the house blemishing the memory of Jefferson Davis. That would sure be controversial now, but apparently, not so much then. after all, they also had "Hogans" heroes' a sit-com set in a Nazi POW camp.
@@milascave2 I saw an episode where Granny led some people around.in Confederate uniforms , during a Civil War reenactment, of course she thought it was the real thing. Then there was the one where Jethro was going to join the military, so Granny had him wear his great Grandpas uniform, a Confederate soldier one to the recruiting office.
And, they were not canceled! Irene Ryan left "The Beverly Hillbillies", because she was offered a roll in a new Broadway musical "Pippin", as Berta, Pippin's grandmother. She stayed in the show for quite a while, until about a week or so before she passed away. Her plan was to return to "The Beverly Hillbillies" Her death was unexpected & heartbreaking.
@@mjnaz65 I agree, Most people keep putting Videos out saying their were issues withe the cast or whatever they could make up for each show but it was simply the Rural Purge.............
Red Cloud Shaman actually it’s called “Clickbait”. That’s what they call a video when Nothing in this video Relates to the title or the cover photo....But I totally agree with negative your reaction. What a waste of our time.
Well, there was that unaired episode where Jethro almost dies from a bad LSD trip, so Elly Mae gets one of her critters to attack and kill the drug dealer that sold Jethro the LSD. But then the producers agreed with the censors not to broadcast the episode, and they all decided everything was cool. Hey, the show was #1 in the ratings - they sure as hell weren't going to pull the show off the air and lose all that advertising money over artistic differences.
Correct. There was a time when the networks followed "Standards and Practices" regarding the content of shows. That is a concept that has been forgotten in recent years. And considering what goes over the air today, one would think there never were such standards.
What a stupid waste of time. The scumbag who made this video intentionally lied to get views. There was zero mention of any scene causing the cancellation of the show. What a dishonest jackass!
Favorite episode when Jed and Granny go to the bank to actually see their money. Best explanation of how banking really works and sad too few people understand it.
Have you seen what Obummer and his puppet Biden are planning for the U.S. Dollar? The bill has actually been around for several years. In essence, Americans would be forced to trade in their current cash for the new cash and there would be an exchange rate. Something like you give big gov $3 dollars and they give you $1 of the new money. It has been downhill since we no longer have the gold standard.
@@solarsynapse The government will indeed do currency manipulation that would induce inflation; they will never attempt to induce deflation. Asset prices rising favors those who have assets; the ruling class. Inflation harms the least of us and governments always choose to harm the masses over those who pay them the most. Taxes, tariffs, currency manipulation and regulation are the 4 ways governments cause recessions/depressions. Never market forces.
I know, LOL. Mr. Drysdale claims to have it. When asked to see it, Jed and Granny were told, "Well it's not here. It's spread out all over the country in loans and investments." Granny tells Jed, "By dingys, Jed, if-en he didn't go through it faster than (I can't recall who she named).
I listened for 18 seconds until the guy said they "struck gold", which they didn't. Made a mental note never to watch FV shite again, not even for 18 seconds.
It's nice UA-cam 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.
@@ronblack2700 it was called the rural purge. CBS got rid of all those shows Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction etc. The new shoes CBS replaced them with were All in the Family. Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Maude etc.
Donna used to come to a Christian retreat in my town every year...the place is called Shocco Springs, and she would come there for a week or so and give inspirational talks based in the faith she and everyone there had in common. If you want to see Donna's first run at acting, watch a Twilight Zone Episode called "Eye of the Beholder",and worth seeing.
I've seen it. God rest her soul. Until. God's Trumpet sounds and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then .......Thessalonians kjv. Love. Julie kilburn
One of my favourite lines from the show was when Jed had to entertain another wealthy man, whom he did not like much. He was talking to Mr. Drysdale about him and described him as a typhoon. Mr Drysdale chuckled and said, ” I think you meant to say tycoon. A typhoon is a big wind!” Jed replied soberly “ I know what I said” I always remembered that. Jed Clampett was a pretty shrewd man.
The Beverly Hillbillies went off the air because television was radically changing. New urban sitcoms like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and All in the Family debuted to strong ratings and critical fanfare. It all came to a head in the spring of 1971 with the "rural purge." The networks, especially CBS, canceled dozens of shows in order to drastically change its primetime lineup. The canceled shows included Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Mayberry R.F.D., Lassie, Hee Haw, Bonanza and Gunsmoke. There was no one scene of The Beverly Hillbillies that caused it to be canceled.
LOL, yes, OIL, not gold ... The video title is Click Bait -- there is no "controversial scene." CBS canceled the Hillbillies in 1971 as part of the "Rural Purge" -- other country-themed CBS shows canceled in 1971 were Green Acres, Hee Haw, and Mayberry R.F.D.
You can only feign “naive hillbilly” for so long. Even those uneducated tards ‘The Clampets’ would soon understand they were filthy rich and lived in a mansion. The “cement pond” act can only go on for 3 seasons or so. That fact this thing ran 9 years is a miracle itself.
The title’s a blatant lie. I was curious as to what “scene” caused it’s cancellation, and after wasting 6 minutes listening to trivia I already knew the narrator admits it wasn’t a scene, but the Rural Purge, of which I also knew. Can’t trust you to not waste my time.
There was no scene that ended the show. When the show ended it still had strong ratings the network wanted to get rid of all those country themed shows.
They didn’t show a controversial scene because there wasn’t one! There was never even anything controversial about that show! The “rural type” shows just ran their course! Like the TV Westerns!
So the headline is total click bait and the guy says "it wasn't one scene it was the whole show." Then the guy says Buddy Ebsen wrote a "novel" that was actually a collection of poems.
My cousin was a set builder on the show. I attended his funeral in Burbank and Paul Henning gave the eulogy. In the early 60s, they allowed my family to watch filming. I wasn't interested so didn't go, but my parents and grandparents went. My grandmother was fascinated with granny. I think the episode they saw being filmed was the one where granny could tell the weather with a cricket or beetle.
@@danfromthesouth5352 there was a pretty significant anti-southern/hometown/hillbilly/traditional values vein running through Hollywood about that time. There was a lot of rebellion against tradition and any shows that seemed to promote it. It was an interesting shift in television that had been slowly gaining movement.
My favorite episode when a Civil War movie was being shot across the entrance of the mansion and Granny summoned the family to defend the property from the invading Yankees and shot the actor playing General Grant off his horse
I watched the clip and missed the statement that Jed had struck gold. Yeesh! I do sing the theme song from time to time. I found it very catching. I also sing the theme songs from Green Acres, Flipper, and Gilligan's Island. I think my favorite part of the show, in addition to Granny's wisecracks, were all the critters Elly May brought in.
I love this show. I love all of the characters. Granny was funny to watch. She made me laugh. 😄 But I have to say that Donna Douglas was my favorite actress on the show. I actually got to meet her in person before she died. She came to visit my church one time. She talked about the show and the other actors. She also talked about her belief and strong Faith in God. My family and I had our picture taken with her. And I got autographed photos of her. That is a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. 💞🙏
all those vaudeville entertainers had to make the transition from stage to television. so they where already great at their craft before they got to television and the color movies.
@@barbaramobley8845 There's even a _Beverly Hillbillies_ episode in which Granny refers to the old dance act "Buddy and Vilma Ebsen", and Jed, looking confused, says to her "Who?"
So the title is " The scene that took the Beverly Hillbillies off the air" and then the video explains there was no scene that took them off the air. If I am ever in an elevator with the person who made this video I am going to fart so bad.
Love that show, especially Ellie Mae. But my favorite episode was the one where a psychiatrist evaluates Jethro, trying to get him to admit he hates his family, but instead Jethro goes on about how much he loves them. At first the phychiatrist I'd increasingly frustrated. But then the comes out saying, "Jethro is the most well-adjusted teenager I've ever met,!"
@@dixonnegron1083 thanks you, I loved the Beverly Hillbillies
2 місяці тому
The Beverly Hillbillies at one time as a kid was my life I watch just about every episode and im still watching the show to this day and the show brings back good memories
They were all perfect in their roles, especially Granny. I loved it when she scrapped with Mrs. Drysdale, then she tells Jed that Mrs. Drysdale 'wrapped her hair around my fingers, then kept hitting my fist with her face over and over'. It's a shame that Max Baer Jr. didn't get big roles after the show's cancellation, because his performance showed he had a lot of talent. He could have played anything but the entertainment industry is mainly run by idiots.
There was “no single scene” which caused the cancellation. It’s widely known that CBS simply wanted to update its image, the series was still doing well in the ratings, although in my opinion it was really starting to suffer by that point with the whole Women’s Lib theme and Miss Jane, Elly May, and Granny living in her apt.
I had heard the other networks were calling CBS the "Hillbilly Network". The idiot in charge got offended enough that he dropped several shows(in one season), while they were still extremely popular. I guess the shows were too clean, & they weren't corrupting the viewers minds enough.
swmovan It’s a mistake if the newer shows tanked in the ratings, but they didn’t. The instincts of CBS was on the money. You’re not called “The Tiffany Network” by making poor decisions. The shows that replaced them turned out to be ratings and critical successes that are classics to this day.

When I see "clickbait", I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE.... EVER ! ! Or if I had been subscribed earlier, I unsubscribe immediately and tell them so AND why in the comments !
Actually Dan Cahill I enjoy most of the fun facts videos. It just seems this one went a little off track..
I always liked it when Jed said “Some day I’ll have to have a real long talk with that boy” about something that Jethro did.
"...but Uncle Jed, I..." "Drive the truck, boy!"
So there's no controversial scene, huh? We call that clickbait.
Michael Antone bingo. I am disappointed
I totally agree what a click baiting bastard .
The title is a big day lie.
@Boot Lick gave it a thumbs down for ya'!
@Boot Lick I would have given that a download also.. I don't know how UA-cam does it but a downvote is never registered in numbers only thumbs up are counted how come
Out-of-left-field character creation, and clever writing ... the humour was a bit dry and understated at times , but very incisisve , and engaged the thinking process. The Beverly Hillbillies is from the golden era of tv; Green acres is another superb show from that era.
What a lazy elevator pitch, ' it's like the Beverly Hillbillies, but opposite! "
Misleading title. They never mention a particular scene that killed the show.
It wasn't a scene. It was because of the "rural purge" that ended Beverly Hillbillies along with green acres and the Andy Griffith show
@ChaldeanCauldron yes
That's because there was NO scene; he described it, true or not, as a CBS decision. The title is as misleading as the name of this "poster"
They actually ADMIT there was No scene and I, like an idiot kept sorta waiting for it. What is that Dickenson line?
Hope is the thing without feathers.
No, that was a Woody Allen book. I'm just plain disappointed.
I wanted there to be a scene so bad!!!

Why not be truthful. There was nothing controversial.
The title is misleading and does not show any controversial scene.
That's what I said!
There was no controversial scene! The show ended because Irene Ryan as hired to star in a brand new musical on Broadway with Ben Vereen! The musical was "Pippin", and she played Bertha, Pippin's grandmother! And, she remained in the show until she passed away!
Why people think they have to make shit up just to have their videos seen is beyond me!
And, wrong about the critics hating it! The first episode had one critic who gave it a bad review,, only because he had a grudge against Donna Douglas, who simply refused to give him the time of day!
The face is, the show was one of the #1 most favorite & most watched shows at the time! And it spawned two spinoffs as well! "Petticoat Junction", which was where Aunt Pearle lived during "The Beverly Hillbillies". But, in "Petticoat Junction", Aunt Pearle became Kate, the owner of the Shady Rest hotel! And, "Green Acres"! And, ALL THREE were a hit!
One of the best sitcom shows in television history
Absolutely NO controversial scenes
In 1971, the elitists at CBS cancelled every wholesome show on the network. The elitists wanted comedies that were edgy and controversial, with characters screaming and insulting each other over political issues. Comedy died on CBS. Things have only gotten worse over the decades. That's why TV today is so cringeworthy.
Once again "Facts Verse" ought to be called "Clickbait Verse" or Misleading Facts Verse"
Thanks for the heads up , I am out of here..
After about 6 minutes I discovered that this should have been titled "If there was a controversial Scene that took 'The Beverly Hillbillies' off the Air, I don't know what it was".
Struck Oil. Not gold.
How about the episode where Granny had a bunch of people dressed in confederate uniforms and they marched out in the streets.?.
@@johnbockelie3899 There was at least one episode where she hung up a poster of Jefferson Davis and said that she would not have anybody in the house blemishing the memory of Jefferson Davis. That would sure be controversial now, but apparently, not so much then. after all, they also had "Hogans" heroes' a sit-com set in a Nazi POW camp.
@@milascave2 I saw an episode where Granny led some people around.in Confederate uniforms , during a Civil War reenactment, of course she thought it was the real thing. Then there was the one where Jethro was going to join the military, so Granny had him wear his great Grandpas uniform, a Confederate soldier one to the recruiting office.
Or, ...and even if we did know, we're not going to tell you!
These were canceled because of the Rural Purge, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies not because of a Scene.
And, they were not canceled! Irene Ryan left "The Beverly Hillbillies", because she was offered a roll in a new Broadway musical "Pippin", as Berta, Pippin's grandmother. She stayed in the show for quite a while, until about a week or so before she passed away. Her plan was to return to "The Beverly Hillbillies" Her death was unexpected & heartbreaking.
That purge happened literally overnight by CBS execs I believe in '69.

Well, there was that unaired episode where Jethro almost dies from a bad LSD trip, so Elly Mae gets one of her critters to attack and kill the drug dealer that sold Jethro the LSD. But then the producers agreed with the censors not to broadcast the episode, and they all decided everything was cool.

@@zanti4132 lol, was that the same episode when they started smoking crawdad's?
Correct. There was a time when the networks followed "Standards and Practices" regarding the content of shows. That is a concept that has been forgotten in recent years. And considering what goes over the air today, one would think there never were such standards.
UA-cam should fine people for using click bait.
They struck oil not gold. Truthfully all I was interested in was what caused the show to end, which you failed to reveal before I lost interest!

Have you seen what Obummer and his puppet Biden are planning for the U.S. Dollar? The bill has actually been around for several years. In essence, Americans would be forced to trade in their current cash for the new cash and there would be an exchange rate. Something like you give big gov $3 dollars and they give you $1 of the new money. It has been downhill since we no longer have the gold standard.
@@solarsynapse The government will indeed do currency manipulation that would induce inflation; they will never attempt to induce deflation.

I listened for 18 seconds until the guy said they "struck gold", which they didn't. Made a mental note never to watch FV shite again, not even for 18 seconds.
It's nice UA-cam 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.

The Beverly Hillbillies went off the air because television was radically changing. New urban sitcoms like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and All in the Family debuted to strong ratings and critical fanfare. It all came to a head in the spring of 1971 with the "rural purge." The networks, especially CBS, canceled dozens of shows in order to drastically change its primetime lineup. The canceled shows included Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Mayberry R.F.D., Lassie, Hee Haw, Bonanza and Gunsmoke. There was no one scene of The Beverly Hillbillies that caused it to be canceled.
Bonanza ended due to Dan Blocker (Hoss) sudden death. No one wanted to contiue it without him.
@lillydee5978 But they did continue for years. The loss took the character of the series with it
Dan Blocker left a solid reputation.
They struck oil, not gold. You know: black gold. Texas tea. Your facts are in question.
LOL, yes, OIL, not gold ... The video title is Click Bait -- there is no "controversial scene." CBS canceled the Hillbillies in 1971 as part of the "Rural Purge" -- other country-themed CBS shows canceled in 1971 were Green Acres, Hee Haw, and Mayberry R.F.D.

I see "Facts Verse" is selling merchandise. I wonder if you buy one of their shirts, if you just get a picture of the shirt, or maybe a handkerchief.
Totally agree
I hate the bait and switch. The other kind is showing a picture to entice you to watch the video and the picture never shows up in the video.
You can only feign “naive hillbilly” for so long. Even those uneducated tards ‘The Clampets’ would soon understand they were filthy rich and lived in a mansion. The “cement pond” act can only go on for 3 seasons or so. That fact this thing ran 9 years is a miracle itself.
The title’s a blatant lie. I was curious as to what “scene” caused it’s cancellation, and after wasting 6 minutes listening to trivia I already knew the narrator admits it wasn’t a scene, but the Rural Purge, of which I also knew. Can’t trust you to not waste my time.

I watched the clip and missed the statement that Jed had struck gold. Yeesh! I do sing the theme song from time to time. I found it very catching. I also sing the theme songs from Green Acres, Flipper, and Gilligan's Island. I think my favorite part of the show, in addition to Granny's wisecracks, were all the critters Elly May brought in.

They were all perfect in their roles, especially Granny. I loved it when she scrapped with Mrs. Drysdale, then she tells Jed that Mrs. Drysdale 'wrapped her hair around my fingers, then kept hitting my fist with her face over and over'.

@@dorianmac7466 I don't remember exactly but I remember the scene well. I'd guess 5th or 6th season but I can't be sure.
There was “no single scene” which caused the cancellation. It’s widely known that CBS simply wanted to update its image, the series was still doing well in the ratings, although in my opinion it was really starting to suffer by that point with the whole Women’s Lib theme and Miss Jane, Elly May, and Granny living in her apt.
I had heard the other networks were calling CBS the "Hillbilly Network". The idiot in charge got offended enough that he dropped several shows(in one season), while they were still extremely popular. I guess the shows were too clean, & they weren't corrupting the viewers minds enough.
swmovan It’s a mistake if the newer shows tanked in the ratings, but they didn’t. The instincts of CBS was on the money. You’re not called “The Tiffany Network” by making poor decisions. The shows that replaced them turned out to be ratings and critical successes that are classics to this day.
