Premiering in 1962, THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES sprang onto the American landscape like bubblin‘ crude, turning into television‘s number one show faster than any sitcom in history. A supreme television classic, this CBS-TV folklore favorite ran for nine years and still holds the record for TV‘s highest-rated half hour.



This astounding Ultimate Collection, with rare footage culled from creator Paul Henning‘s private archive, features 26 newly-restored and unedited episodes with the classic opening and closing theme songs (The Ballad Of Jed Clampett), the complete and never-before-broadcast pilot (The Hillbillies Of Beverly Hills), rare cast commercials, interviews and a heapin‘ helpin‘ of behind the scenes footage.
