@verdew8181 Ha ha! I remember watching this when it was on CBS when I was about four years old. At the time, I could never understand why Amos McCoy pronounced the state names as “Californee” and “Virginee.”
wow, I have actually not seen this since I was about 11 years old, about 49 years ago. I had forgotten the part about coming from West Virginia to sunny Californ-i-ay” so it awoke a dormant component in my brain!
@Mr76Yearsago – And Walter Brennan was also typecast as a lovable old codger as well. If you saw some of his films (“The Westerner” and “My Darling Clementine”) he played some EVIL s.o.b.’s. They were about as far from Amos McCoy as you could get!

AAaah! Lovely show. As we usually got very old American shows when TV first started in Australia, this sort of show is so much a part of my childhood. Thanks for the memories.
@ftrovat1 Pepino, not sure of the spelling.
What was the name of the mexican hired help on the show?
Absolutely love this one! Thanks for posting……..this takes me back many/many years!
Amassing that no one hear knows what the real McCoy is. That is the name of a sea captain. Whisky used to be brought to Boston, from south, and watered down. McCoy brought it from Cuba and not watered down. So in Boston if you said you wanted the real McCoy, it meant you wanted the whisky brought from Cuba and not watered down.
The Real McCoys. Oy Vay. No kosher slaughtering on this show. They were always kind to animals. Tim McVeigh. Oy Vay. Kind to animals. Humans — not so much.
The Real McCoys was one of my favorite TV shows when I was a youngster.
Great show, however this isn’t the original version of the theme song. The original is sung by ’50s pop singer Jimmie Rodgers and has slightly different lyrics. It appears on “Television’s Greatest Hits Vol. 4 – Black & White Classics”.
@rentatrip1 that was a racist remark. If it was a joke, it was a bad one. Completely reprehensible. Inexcusable.
PAPENIS THE ORIGINAL WETBACK
andy oleh and frank were his 3 best friends
I always thought that the pairing of Walter Brennan and Andy Clyde was one of the best in the history of television. The actors worked so well off each other in the series.
Despite being a brilliant Academy Award winning actor, Walter Brennan typecast himself as every babyboomer’s Grandpa by doing this series. Walt Disney picked up on it and cast him similiarly in five different movies in 60′s , and , of course, Brennan perpetuated it himself in “The Guns of Will Sonnet” in 1967
The days of great sitcoms are long gone for sure.
now he gone and done it! now he eat his prick! grampa anus ate his prick and he turned into a stick!
I recall this show as a little boy. Sort of an early version of the Beverly Hillbillies, to judge by the song lyrics (WV to Cal).
I was looking for his Dragnet and saw they were all gone too. I had his hotmail email, so I wrote him. He got suspended because they accused him of posting Warner Bros cartoons, which had been removed. He said he hasn’t decided if he’s going to go through all that work again. He was pretty devastated
