Game 29

The Family From the Hills

A Comedy on CBS

The game's question

Go through the clues at your own pace; whoever sees the town first says it out loud.

In the early 1960s, one comedy had the whole country laughing: a family from the hills moves to California and settles among the rich. “The Beverly Hillbillies” was No. 1 for two seasons in a row on CBS, 1962–63 and 1963–64. The name of their new town is hidden right in the title. Where did they settle? Circle it together.

  • Palm Springs
  • Beverly Hills
  • San Francisco
Need a hint?

Say the title slowly, one word at a time. The first word is the start of the town’s name; the rest of the name rhymes with “thrills.”

See the answer

Answer: Beverly Hills—No. 1 on CBS for two seasons, 1962–63 and 1963–64.

Why this game : The title holds the answer, and the theme song is never far behind. Humming it together is half the fun.
