From the creative genius of TV pioneer Paul Henning (Petticoat Junction, Green Acres), and 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 folklore favourite ran for nine years and still holds the record for TV's highest-rated half hour in the US. Equally loved in Australia, this collection features 26 newly-restored and unedited episodes with the classic opening and closing theme songs, rare cast commercials and other special material from the private archive of Paul Henning.
