The Beverly Hillbillies, but I also like Andy, Petticoat Junction, and the Real McCoys.

since when is "Mister Ed" considered a rural sitcom?

Anyway, my choices are:

"The Beverly Hillbillies" & "Green Acres".

I went with the Hillbillies. The poll seems a pretty good representation of relative quality.

I voted for Green Acres.

I don't really consider Mister Ed as a rural sitcom. To me, it's more of a fantasy sitcom because of the talking horse.

I never got into The Andy Griffith Show. Don't like that show at all. However, I do like Gomer Pyle USMC and Mayberry RFD is alright also.
