was what i rembered when i first watched it a long time ago.a very good show.
Rating:  - McCoy Madness
I can just remember a few episodes from the Real McCoys from when I was a child. I was excited to see the first two seasons out on dvd. I know we lost a few minutes of each episode, but they are still well worth the price. The Real McCoys is a great sitcom, so much better than almost anything they have out today. The only real problem is they haven't released the other seasons.
Rating: - Cornerstone of modern American history
What a joy to discover this long-lost gem of 1950's American culture! I haven't seen these shows for forty years, but I still fondly remember several episodes. Good wholesome fun for the whole family. My children are hooked, and I am glad. I certainly hope that the following seasons are made available.

The 224 half-hour episodes (all in B&W) of the situation comedy "The Real McCoys" ran from 1957-1963 on ABC and CBS. The show's creators/producers were Irving and Norman Pincus, a pair of brothers with little other claims to fame.
But they left quite a legacy with "The Real McCoys" as the series literally changed the direction of network situation comedy. Early sitcoms like "I Love Lucy", "The Honeymooners", "Make Room for Daddy", and "The Goldbergs" were urban in tone and set in downtown apartments in big east coast cities; urban families were the first buyers of televisions. By the mid-fifties suburbia was getting a lot play ("Life of Riley", "Leave It to Beaver") as Americans began moving out to the suburbs. But network executives were resistant to the idea of rural characters in rural setting. Rural families were unlikely to own televisions (or have television stations within broadcast range) and urban sophisticates could not be expected to tune into a show featuring rural rubes.
When "The Real McCoys" proved the suits wrong it set the stage for Andy of Mayberry, Jed in Beverly Hills, Kate and the Shady Rest, and Oliver and Lisa in Hooterville. Danny Thomas and Paul Henning who would launch those shows were both involved in "The Real McCoys".
The premise of the show is the move of the legendary West Virginia McCoys to a farm in the San Fernando Valley they inherit from their uncle. Given the current value of valley real estate it is amusing that one of ... Read More
