Trying too Hard
Naturally, any show or movie that’s done well in the past will have people who want to create re-makes. It’s more of a money grab than anything, and The Beverly Hillbillies experienced it, too. In 1993, a follow-up movie was released, but it performed horribly. True fans didn’t like any of the new characters, and they criticized the flick for lacking any kind charm of the original show. Safe to say the movie tanked, and no one has tried to re-create the show again.
Huge Fail
Getting the Idea
This show was super unique to anything else that was out at the time, so where did the idea come from? Allegedly, Paul Henning was traveling through Civil War sites in the south. It was 1959, and the man came up with the idea for the show after wondering what it would be like to move from the rural south to more modern communities. In order for the show to be comedic, he knew he’d need a cast that came from a very hillbilly-type of lifestyle.
