Several of you have mentioned this as one of your all-time favorite TV theme songs, so I thought it fitting to post it here for everyone to enjoy–The Beverly Hillbillies, classic TV sitcom from 1962-1971, with the music provided by Country & Western stars Flatt and Scruggs.
(Yo, Lee! What’s with all the TV themes?)
Look, the nooze is just so bad, our popular culture is fit only for the landfill, and readers have been clamoring for something better. Well, by George, America used to be better! And we can riffle through the past and find an infinite number of things to prove it.
These shows were harmless fun–and there’s something to be said for that! Last time I watched a Beverly Hillbillies episode on YouTube, it made me laugh out loud. There’s something to be said for that, too. And the humor was never malicious or snide–can’t say that for today’s brew, can we?
This old stuff is so far ahead of Disney and the rest of ’em, they couldn’t find it with a telescope.
