Very true. I remember being somewhat offended by the Beverly Hilbillies when I was younger, because they were generally made out to be a bit foolish. Granny actually looked and talked (though with a completely different accent) like my own grandmother, who was not a sophisticated woman, but who always had a sharp sense of humor and a clear line between right & wrong. Now that I'm older I see that show somewhat differently. The Clampetts always came out as decent, honest, generous people. I could be persuaded either way -- was the show making fun of country folk? Or was it a mild critique of the consumerist side of the sixties? I'm not sure now.
