The Real McCoys
The Real McCoys was a happy care free West Virginia Mountain family that pulls up its roots and moves to California. It first aired on ABC October 23, 1957 and later moved to CBS. A total of 224 episodes were made of this 30 minute situation comedy. The star of the show was
Grandpa (Amos
Walter Brennan
|
McCoy) played by Walter Brennan. He was
as ornery as they came and was against anybody that
everybody was for. He meddled in everybody's affairs
including his neighbors and his own family. Grandpa's
family included his grandson Luke and his new wife Kate,
Luke's teenage sister and Luke's younger brother Little
Luke. (Their parents were deceased) Amos was illiterate
and he never allowed anybody to know that outside the
family. This caused many embarrassing moments and
created that much more humor in a great comedy of the 50s
and 60s. Kathleen Nolan later left the show and Luke
became a widower so the remainder of the series was
devoted to Grandpa finding Luke another wife.
