The Beverly Hillbillies: Jed's Dilemma The feud between Granny and Pearl reaches the crisis stage when both ladies decide to take charge of the housekeeping duties in the Clampett mansion. Naturally, Pearl insists that she is only concerned that Granny is getting too old and tired to look after the family. Of course, to make certain that Granny feels too old and tired, Pearl helpfully spikes the old gal's soup with moonshine, er, "rheumatizz medicine." Hoping to calm both ladies down, Jed takes the whole family on a sightseeing tour of the Hills of Beverly. "Jed's Dilemma" was originally shown on January 16, 1963.

Meanwhile, Drysdale tries to solve the dilemma in a civilized manner. Enhanced by a terrific "running commentary" ballad courtesy of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, "The Great Feud" was originally telecast on December 10, 1962.
