The Real McCoys

The Real McCoys is an American sitcom starring Walter Brennan, Richard Crenna, and Kathleen Nolan.

The Real McCoys concerns the lives of a family originally from the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia, from a fictional place named Smokey Corners.

The former West Virginians join the Grange farm association and hire Pepino when he informs them he was Ben's foreman.

The McMichaels, a brother and sister played by Andy Clyde and Madge Blake in 29 and 21 episodes, respectively, lived on the hill near the McCoys.

Jesse White, known later as the actor portraying the Maytag repairman for television commercials and subsequently a cast member of CBS's The Ann Sothern Show, portrayed a used car salesman named "San Fernando Harry" who clashes with Amos in "The New Car" (October 2, 1958).

On June 1, 1961, Amos, Luke, and Kate return to West Virginia for the 100th-birthday gathering of "Grandmother McCoy", played by Jane Darwell.

In one episode, Lee Van Cleef played an Air Force Security Guard; in another Tom Skerritt appeared as a letter carrier.
