Good show, one that has kinda disappeared.....

.......Very enjoyable. I picked up the DVD set of the 20 episode first season-63-64, all black and white. Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres had Nothing over this, it was quieter than either and seemed to have more of a center. Bea Bernadette there was a Fine actress who I don't think I saw in many other things. As always Edgar Buchanon was reliable along w/ Frank Cady and Smiley Burnett.

I think of this show sort of like the Virginian from the same era--they were popular, long-running, not badly made, people remember them--but they just have dropped from the landscape. And that is sad. It looks like they changed some things in '65, when they went to color, two of the sisters for example. I've not seen any of the later episodes so I can't speak to the hippie era stuff when Bea Bernadette there was dying from cancer.

*** at least. Check out the DVD set, it's a fine show.

score /10
