"For years I have been making do with various collections of episodes, with only a poor instrumental theme bearing little resemblance to the original theme song. Now at last this wonderful show is being released in full season sets with the original opening and closing theme songs. Some reviewers have applauded the presence of the original sponsor messages on these discs. Personally, I don't like them, but the great thing is that you have the choice of playing the episodes with or without the advertising. Some of the difference may be that as Americans, the other reviewers remember the shows that way, with some nostalgia. For me, living in a country where cigarette advertising on television has never been legal, my fond memories are of the version without the ads.

This is a great set of my favourite season of a fantastic show, complete with all the original music , photo gallery and an excellent special feature, "The Legend of the Beverly Hillbillies". Every episode is packed with laughs; the Hillbillies are still as funny and as wonderful as I remember them from my childhood.

"I forgot how innocent was our humor 40+ years ago.
It is still funny, and as clever as ever.
Yes, it has "stereo-typical things, but we didn't place such guarded care over good clean,honest and silly fun.
We all need to go back to where our words and actions were just "sticks and stones," and trust more in each other.
Wouldn't we be a lot better off if we did?!"

It doesn`t get any better than this

"One of the best comidies of all time.
An excellent tv show that is timeless.
Far above the glop that infests tv these days.
Paul Henning, the creator of the Beverly Hillbillies was a comic genius. The writing was always good, the acting was always good.
The writers, actors, and producers always gave this show everything they had. The main reasons it was so good, lasted so long
and was rated so highly. And why it`s still popular today nearly 50 years later.

GOLLY GRANNY, I'M STARVIN!!!!!!

"If Paramount is not going to continue with this wonderful show, hopefully
SHOUT FACTORY will pick up the ball just like they have just done with Leave it
to Beaver and All in the Family. Seasons four thru nine are the in color seasons and they are anxiously awaited by many of us.
