Last Sat. I was watching Mr. Ed when I saw Granny Clampett show up. Irene Ryan was dressed in character as Granny and had a few lines, but nobody else was with her and her name was never mentioned...I guess it was kind of a cameo appearance...

Yeah . It was cool huh? I saw that ep a few times, first time I was like . Wow, what is Granny doing on here. LOL! :crazy: :eek: They must have filmed at the same studio lot and she just had a walk on or like you said a Cameo appearance. ;)

Mr. Ed and The Beverly Hillbillies were both produced by same company and were both filmed at General Service Studios. Same goes for Petticoat Junction and Green Acres.

TBH was a far more popular show than Mr. Ed so I'm sure this little in-character cameo, incongruous as it seemed, was publicized at the time and done to boost Mr. Ed's ratings although surely critter lovin' Elly May would have been a more appropriate appearance (although Donna Douglas did guest star pre-TBH on the show as Clint Eastwood's girlfriend in his famous appearance on the series.)
