Catchy Comedy Special The Return of the Beverly Hillbillies

Jed Clamplett and his backwoods family help solve an energy crisis in their own rustic ways for their Beverly Hills neighborhood to which they still cannot quite adjust.

Im 64 yrs old and watched Beverly Hillbillies when they were new. I have never seen this film before. Wow. I wonder what year it was made? It doesn't seem too bad to me...typical BH comedy. Just too much of Werner Klemperer. Thanks for the upload. I can't believe I've never even known this existed. Imogine Coca as Granny's ma?!? She's hilarious! Sounds just like Granny, it's eerie!

[bobbydalton]

Sad they're all gone except for Max Baer.Guess he was ready to move on but would've been good seeing him one more time as Jethro.

[hopefulvoyage]

As much as people have criticized this, I thought it was rather good. I saw this for the first time. I had no.idea they even made this. Good to.see some of the original cast. Miss Irene Ryan. She was the best.

[hifidistortion]

I've been wanting to see this for the longest. I want to see how truly bad it is claimed to be.

[timothymcdonald]

kinda surprised that Buddy Ebsen, Donna Douglas and Nancy Kulp came along with this. On the other hand a paying part is good for one's personal wealth. Still a fun watch for us fans of the Beverly Hillbillies.

Wow. Colonel Klink survived WW2 and is on the Hillbillies. 🤣

The statue of Granny was beautiful. I wonder where it is today.

I just loved this show it was really great to see most of the original cast except for Max Baer who wasn't on here it was said he didn't want to be Jethro again because he was typed cast but this was still a pretty good movie just to see what happened to the family after they struck it rich it was great to see Linda Henning again and I really loved the statue that looks just like Granny whoever made it did a great job

[akampfer]

Watching reruns of both Hillbillies & Petticoat Junction recently, I realize this was basically a reunion of both shows with both Linda Henning & Charles Lane there although in different characters

[jackkircher]

The pretty secretary was Linda KAY Henning. Hee das produced the original "The Beverly hillbillies". She also played in another of her daddy's productions, "Petticoat Junction" as the youngest Bradley girl. She was the voice of Jethro's sister jethrene on the Beverly hillbillies.
On Wikipedia bio of this movie they used Linda's middle name and added an e at the end because her dad was worried that he would be accused of nepotism. Kay was her actual middle name.
FYI- HER FIRST marriage was to Mike Minor (Steve Elliott from Petticoat Junction). They married a year after their TV wedding. The union lasted 5 years and it would be almost 20 more years before she would remarry.
She was my absolute favorite on PJ.

Wasn't what I was excepting at all This was really quite silly. It was good seeing Jed, Elly Mae and Jane.

[sparky]

As silly as the show is I'm glad I stayed to the end, what a great surprise to see who was playing with the great Earl Scruggs, fiddle player John Hartford and guitar player Rodney Dillard, John Hartford was an amazing musician, song writer and river boat captain on the Mississippi river, he penned the song, along with many many more, Gentle on my Mind, a song that Glenn Campbell had huge success with, I could go on forever about John but y'all can look him up he was amazing, Rodney was also a great musician that did some collaboration with John along with Rodney brother Doug, Doug and Rodney Dillard were also part of the Darling family band on the Andy Griffith show

One of many times we were supposedly running out of oil, still hasn't happened, but the scam has made billions of dollars for the big players.

[BorisTheAnimal-py]

Original cast members Irene Ryan (Granny) had died in 1973 and Raymond Bailey (Milburn Drysdale) died in 1980, and Max Baer Jr. (the original Jethro) declined to participate.

[MicheleRobinson-ke]

I watched this movie to see how very bad this movie was and it was not as good as I hoped it would be. I love the cute animals that they showed at the zoo and the monkey pushing the buttons. They should have left this show alone. They can not replace the old show especially Granny. There will never be another Granny but I Irene Ryan.

[jerrymiller]

The guy that plays the banker definitely reminds me of his dad Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes

[WWChampion]

Feels like Jethro's secretary saying she babysat for Ellie's kids is a callback to when The Clampetts visited Hooterville and Betty Jo who is the same actress Linda Kaye Henning also plays the secretary let Ellie babysit her little one.

[goldbaron]

All things considered it wasn't bad; with half the cast gone. Time isn't kind and all that. But bringing Klemperer into it was brilliant. And at least they didn't try to reprise too many roles with new actors, instead just added new roles, which was the respectful thing to do. The people making this at least tried to do right, with what they still had to work with.

[jackkircher]

The guy playing Jethro must have studied Max's demeanour closely because he has it down pat! Sadly, there is no Bio for him

[JAMESPATTERSON-mksr]

Linda Kaye Henning who is playing Jethro's secretary was Mr. Henning's inspiration for creating the character of Elly May . Her thick hair and tomboy ways and love of animals when she was young,
