It is rather interesting how he has shed his hillbilly ways. :unsure:
Now he's gone way past Mr. and Mrs Driesdale on the social ladder, probably got proud and identifies with big $ than middle Americans.
I've been around that type.

I have a heart for the old Jed and Granny Clampet.

This is one of the best scenes I've ever heard in a comedy. There's so much truth here. Jed's a humble common man who never seemed the least bit covetous.
This is the perfect illustration of 1 Timothy6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Thank you for posting this. We have much to be grateful to the Lord for.

Yes, my apologies, I did not mean to be critical of you or imply anything you said was inappropriate...

Just that the term itself is often seen as a pejorative when used by others/outsiders.

Hill folk often being seen as uneducated, isolated, and often poor.

I think off Dolly Parton and Leanne Morgan (whose humour I really like!)...

You know I'm a West Virginian and I know a lot of folks don't like the hillbilly reputation. The US media always makes fun of our state. I just own it; although I've always identified as a Mountaineer. . Then I remember my old favorites like Dudley Doright who was a Mounty. So you all have Mounties and we have Mountaineers. We have hillbillies and you all have Red Green. We like Canadian country folks.
I think Vance is from Ohio.
West Virginians laugh when we hear someone from Ohio say they have hillbillies.
