Happy Thanksgiving! TV families are a lot like real families. They always come together for Thanksgiving. For the ultimate TV Thanksgiving, look no further than the 1968 episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, “The Thanksgiving Spirit.”
The crossover episode not only features the Clampetts, it features the cast members of Green Acres and Petticoat Junction. The episode culminates with a shared dinner that includes characters from the three shows.
Update: Unfortunately, the video has been removed.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Beverly Hillbillies? What’s your favorite Thanksgiving-themed TV show episode?
This was very memorable to bring the casts of all three of these shows together. But my favorite Thanksgiving episode aired one year before, when Aunt Clara accidentally zapped the Stephenses and Gladys Kravitz back to the Pilgrims at Plymouth on “Bewitched.”
