JSngry Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 The Beverly Hillbillies opening theme song had an extra verse during the first season; this is the Winston version. After a 'dandy trip', Mr. Drysdale introduces Jed to the pleasures of a Winston cigarette, white-thing-and-all. Granny takes a Winston shotgun through her corn-cob pipe. Jed's impressed.

JSngry Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Granny thinks she has an "inhale-o-phone" during a conversation with Cousin Pearl. Jethro practices his book learnin' with Miss Hathaway, while learning the importance of a nicotine habit. Granny shows Miss Jane how to get a man -WINSTONS!

Free For All Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I like the way Granny & Cousin Pearl hold the cigs like joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Nothing says A Mountain Christmas like WINSTONS! Elly's eagle snatches Jed's Winston cigarettes, and he ain't happy about it. I like the way Granny & Cousin Pearl hold the cigs like joints. Yeah, and that eye action of hers makes me think that she thought they were...

I'm not sure these could really be classed as advertisments, I mean they are sooooooooooooooooo subtle. Although I do feel like having a smoke now.

JSngry Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) I'm only now beginning to realize the brilliance of Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Nancy Culp, & Raymond Bailey in their roles on this show. Talk about walking a tightrope between surrealism & buffonery! Edited April 20, 2009 by JSngry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyboy Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, the tone of this show is just perfect. It's easy to write this show off as a light, ridiculous comedy, but Buddy and Max are just spot-on. One of my favorite shows, maybe my favorite sitcom.
