In 1962, Paul Henning pitched an idea for a sitcom about a family of Ozark hillbillies who struck oil and moved to the big city. CBS ordered a pilot to be made, which was never aired, but set up the concept of The Beverly Hillbillies. The first aired episode told the same story with the same characters, but was re-recorded. The name of the series was improved, too.

Now we are both approaching 145 very quickly so I don't think it is fair to confuse us with this prequel.
Texas T, black gold ... and we didn't live anywhere near the United States, lol.
