The Controversial Scene that took 'The Beverly Hillbillies' off the Air

The Beverly Hillbillies is a TV show that was on CBS from 1962 to 1971. It's about a family called the Clampetts who were poor and lived in the Ozarks region of Arkansas. They become rich when they find oil on their land and decide to move to fancy Beverly Hills, California. The main actors were Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, and Max Baer Jr.

The show was made by Filmways and written by Paul Henning. It was really popular, being in the top 20 most-watched shows for eight of its nine seasons. Sometimes, it was even the number one show for the year. It got seven Emmy nominations and has 16 episodes that are still among the 100 most-watched TV episodes ever. The show is still shown on TV, and it was so popular that there was even a movie made in 1993 by 20th Century Fox based on it.
