The Real McCoys

The Real McCoys is a rural sitcom which ran from 1957 to 1963, presaging the broader cluster of 1960s TV comedies. It centered on a farming family, headed by cantankerous Grandpa Amos, played by Western veteran Walter Brennan. Paul Henning, who wrote two early scripts, went on to create The Beverly Hillbillies and its offshoots, while other crew went on to The Andy Griffith Show (including series co-star Richard Crenna, who directed on both shows).
