Real McCoys Season 1 (DVD)

When a happy-go-lucky West Virginia mountain family moves to a ranch in California's San Fernando Valley, anything is likely to happen in The Real McCoys (1957-1963), one of TV's biggest hits of the era, paving the way for such other rural comedy shows as Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C., The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. Starring Grampa Amos McCoy (three-time Academy Award-winner Walter Brennan) -- a porch-rockin', gol-darnin', consarnin' old codger with a wheezy voice -- who loves to meddle in other people's affairs, neighbors and kin alike. Joining him are grandson Luke (Richard Crenna); Luke's new bride, Kate (Kathleen Nolan); teenage sister, "Aunt" Hassie (Lydia Reed); 11-year-old brother, Little Luke (Michael Winkelman); musically inclined farm hand, Pepino (Tony Martinez); and their argumentative neighbor, George MacMichael (Andy Clyde). George's spinster sister, Flora (Madge Blake), has eyes for Grampa but, alas, it's not meant to be. This Season #1 collector's set includes all 39 half-hour episodes (1957-58). Enjoy all six seasons (224 episodes) of this treasured series on DVD digitally remastered for unparalleled picture and audio quality.
