Where To Watch
Can you tell the difference between Jed Clampett and Barnaby Jones?
How well do you know Buddy Ebsen's iconic characters?
True television icons have two or more characters to their name. Andy Griffith was Sheriff Taylor and Matlock. William Shatner was Captain Kirk and T.J. Hooker. Mary Tyler Moore was Laura Petrie and Mary Richards.
And Buddy Ebsen, of course, was Jed Clampett and Barnaby Jones. The Beverly Hillbillies was one of the biggest — if not the biggest — sitcoms of the '60s. Barnaby Jones was one of the longest-running detective series of the '70s.
Showing Ebsen's range, they were two wildly different characters. So — think you can tell them apart?

Both shows were great 👍 you got to see the funny side of Jed Clampett.🥸😄😂.. Then there was the serious side of Jed Clampett"s acting.🤨🤔😁
I had to look up President Nixon's and it said Gilligan's Island and Kojack. Nothing about him liking Barnaby Jones. So, I chose Jed Clampett. I was wrong.
11/14 - now I want some milk or Granny's spring tonic:)
Here’s a side question: who was crowned Miss America 1955?
ahhh 1st name Lee?
11/14 The word "Conman" threw me off on #7, but then now I remember that character's name who was played by Phil Silvers, #13 threw me off because Nixon was no longer president by the time Barnaby Jones first aired.
14/14. Barnaby Jones is a great.
13
I love MeTV
Wasn’t Buddy going to portray the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz , but had an allergic reaction to the silver paint?
correct - he almost passed
11/14, some guesses as I never watched Barnaby
14/14
Can someone tell me why when looking at episodes they are out of order
13/14, got the last one wrong!
14 of 14 I should know about them I been watching both shows since I was a child and still watching them I Love Classic shows
For what it's worth on #13--Buddy Ebsen, I believe, attended Richard Nixon's funeral.
yep he was on that side of the fence - that's why Nancy Culp despised Buddy
12 out of 14 not bad! I love watching this show. Especially when JR comes along. I don’t like how it’s on at 4am but I can’t help but watch most days. It has only been about a year or so since I first heard of it. My dad was a huge Beverly Hillbillies fan! I never even got the chance to ask him if he liked him as Barnaby, but I’m guessing maybe not or I would have heard of it growing up, right? Haha
11/14 and I've only watched B Jones a few times. I'm a big fan of Hillbillies.
9/14. I won by default. My child bride is not familiar with both shows.
10/14 darn it
Love him so much !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love him so much !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
