About The Beverly Hillbillies: The Family Tree

"The Family Tree" is episode 25 of season 1 of The Beverly Hillbillies, first broadcast on March 13, 1963 on CBS. It was directed by Richard Whorf and written by Paul Henning.

Pearl and Jethro think that Jed should get a new fancy car, but he's happy with the truck. Pearl would also like to get the family into high society. Margaret tells Milburn that Mrs. Priscilla Smith-Standish (Rosemary DeCamp), the head of a 'first family' historical society, will be staying at their house. Drysdale is not impressed.

The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962-71) follows Jed Clampett (Buddy Ebsen), a mountaineer who strikes oil and moves his family, Granny (Irene Ryan), daughter Elly May (Donna Douglas) and nephew Jethro (Max Baer Jr.), to a mansion in Beverly Hills, next door to his banker, Milburn Drysdale. It was the top-rated show in America in its first two seasons.
