In reply to the discussion: The Manhattan Hillbillies [View all]Mountain Mule
(1,002 posts)36. Calling that gang "hillbillies" is an insult to every last inhabitant of the Appalachian Mountains!
My family is from the Kentucky Mountains and many still reside there. I can tell you that my Maw Maw who never uttered a cuss word in her life would be horrified by that gang. My hardworking farming family is fed up with Trumpf and Company's antics and I don't think they'd waste an old, blind bluetick hound to send out and run him up a tree. They also want nothing to do with Peabody Coal, either. They want decent paying jobs that won't kill you from black lung by time you're 40. That picture is pretty damn funny, but leave us Kentuckians out of THAT mess!

Well, since the Clampett's are from the Missouri Ozarks, Appalachians can come off the ledge

Outstanding! I guess Max Baer Jr is the only one still living from the original cast.
