Jed Clampett lives!
There is a production facility in far West Texas named after Jed Clampett, the fictional hillbilly who struck it rich in the TV show The Beverly Hillbillies.
At least we think it was named for the TV character.
There might be a nonfictional, real-life person named Jed Clampett whose name was invoked in the naming of the production facility located in Gaines County, Texas.
If that is the case, it pretty much blows the purpose of this blog post, we agree.
Still, not being of a mind to place a call to the production facility, or to the local library in Andrews, Texas, the county seat of Gaines, to make the appropriate inquiries, we prefer to believe that someone with either a wry sense of humor or an abiding love for the aforementioned situation comedy series decided to name a production facility after a fictional Tennessee hillbilly who struck it rich when he fired his long gun at some prey, and, in missing, somehow struck a rich vein of oil, whereupon he decided to move to Beverly Hills, Calif.
Wheeee, doggies.

Clampett: an American success story. There was a time when he could barely keep his family feed.
Jed Clampett is so Gay. What was the deal with him and Granny and elly may and the retard Jethro but no missus? Series would have been loads better had they thrown in an Ozarks stud as his lover. I says that and what do youse say?
you sound like a homosexual, and that's OK. there are other blogs out there that probably are more interesting for you.
The Clampetts were from Arkansas. Bugtussel, Arkansas. Not Tennessee.
