Mike P @RT09890132 11/27/2024 Really really stupid slapstick fish out of water comedy; a "high concept" sitcom, all based on a one note joke, (the punning of Beverly Hills)... And this was the beginning of Paul Henning's hayseed comedies; this; Petticoat Junction and Green Acres....And it's all really bad. Great talents like Buddy Epsen are wasted.
