The Beverly Hillbillies was just a terribible show in my opinion. Humor was very terrible and I couldn't pick up on the references they were leaving out there. I also just thought the concept of hillbillies in Beverly was just dumb. When would you ever see a wealthy hillbilly be a movie star? Never. Some shows are similar by to the Beverly Hillbillies such as Family Guy or American Dad because like the Beverly Hillbillies each episode is consisted of references. The Beverly Hilbillies is worse in my opinion by the fact it was too far fetched to be a sitcom and it was a little difficult trying to understand the characters such as Granny.
A good connection to the shows of today! Given how popular the show was, what do you take from it about the 1960s? Does the plot and/or characters give you any insight into what people valued or thought was important in that decade? What about the other TV shows you watched in your group? Did they hold your interest better or the same?
