One of CBS' longest running situation comedies, this was the slapstick treatment of the Clampetts, an Ozark hillbilly family who struck it rich (an oil well sprouted in their front yard) and moved to a Beverly Hills mansion.
Loved by many, this magnificent classic comedy collection will take you back to the "yester-years" when comedy was genuine and laughter real.
They deposited the $25 million given to them by John Brewster, of the OK Oil Company, for drilling rights to their land, in Milburn's Drysdale's Commerce Bank.As Drysdale's biggest depositors, they received special treatment.The banker, concerned about their naivete and ignorance of "big city ways", moved them into the mansion next door to his own home, in hopes of keeping an eye on them and helping them become more civilized.
