Why did the Clampets move to Beverly Hills?


I never understood why they moved to Beverly Hills. They never adapted to the the rich California life. They didn't seem to even want to live there. Why didn't they just stay in Tennessee and build a big mansion?

“They said Californee’s the place you ought to be / So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly — Hills, that is: swimmin’ pools, movie stars”

Did you even watch the show, or was you face stuck in the latest issue of Tiger Beat?

It's like they thought it was fate, "the place they ought to be".

Remember they're hillbillies and these are "Hills".
