In 1971, the last episode of the Beverly Hillbillies was shown. The show first aired on September 26, 1962.

The Beverly Hillbillies theme song was done as a singing call in 1984 (K 1297) (Maybe that\’s Kalox?). It\’s also used in a couple of medleys, including Theme Time and Couch Potato.

Since the Beverly Hillbillies both started and stopped in September, you could do Beverly Hillbillies stuff all through the month.
