Does anyone remember watching the tv show called The Beverly Hillbillies? I remember it well, back in the day. Granny was my favorite character.
Funny, today they would probably not be allowed to call a show "Hillbillies". It would offend someone out there.
Oh well, I miss the good ole days. And I watch these old shows every now and then. Brings back good memories.
Not my photo by the way. And does anyone notice anything off in this photo?

@CarolDM I've seen some clever ones lately. I think there was one with him sitting on the set of Friends. Heard he gets a kick out of all these.
I've seen crocheted patterns for him as well as just for his mittens.

Times have changed quite a bit since then. Life was so much simpler. Nowadays, people walk around on eggshells around each other afraid to say/do anything that might "offend" someone else.

My favourite was Ellie May for me at least.
The mask on the right?
Oh well never mind loved the whole show in general but Ellie was my fave then.

I loved the way Ellie was simply that.

Bernie looks cold there? Funny a politician from Vermont with such a chilly climate needs mittens in California.
I liked Jethro. Maybe because I felt sorry for him getting smacked around by Granny and Ellie Mae.

Oh yes, I remember it well. My son used to have a video tape of the movie they made too.

The photo of Bernie Sanders wearing a mask. I enjoyed seeing the Beverly Hillbillies when they played on the Southern Command Network (SCN) in Panama in reruns. Television shows today do not have the same witty comments without the use of profanity anymore.

I loved watching the Beverly Hillbillies and adored Jethro Bodine. Ladies weren't impressed by his charm
Oh my gosh, Bernie Sanders is riding in the back seat! lol

Poor old Bernie Sanders had no clue that he was going to become the “star” of so many memes and photos when he was sitting out there looking cold and miserable at the Biden inauguration.
He probably hates it, but they are mostly all funny.
I remember watching the Beverly Hillbillys when it was on television, and it was always fun to watch and interesting characters. I enjoyed the strange ideas and concoctions that Granny was always coming up with, from her trove of Hillbilly lore.
